Infinity can feel suffocating (I will never be able to to all I want to do) or liberating (I can do anything I want).

A minha grande capacidade de empatia permite-me imaginar as piores coisas possíveis a meu respeito.

The most frightening person i ever witnessed was a man who only wanted one thing. everybody around him had a hundred plans, a hundred projects they were going to start next month, and he had one, just one. and he never talked about it much, and that was the part that unnerved you, because when someone talks a lot about what they want, you can relax. talking is letting the pressure out, so it's harmless. but he was airtight.

Everything in him was moving toward one point, in silence. within a few years he was in a place no one else could reach, and everybody who had watched him stood there scattered and confused, with their mouths full of plans that never solidified into anything. i learned from watching him that the mouth is a leak. every time you say what you are going to do, you lose a piece of the will that would have done it

Being a highly intelligent outlier doesn't negate your ability to be retarded, paradoxically it actually enables far more creative ways of being retarded.

Vowels are swallowed (skipped) in European Portuguese, causing strings of back-to-back consonants that violate the phonological rules of all other Romance dialects (Dubert, F. & Galvés, C. Galician and Portuguese. In: Ledgeway, A. & Maiden, M. (Eds.) The Oxford Guide to the Romance Languages. Chapter 23. Oxford: OUP, p. 411-446, 2016.)

Example: “exemplificar” pronounced “xmplfcar”

It’s always Claude. None of these folks are brave enough to claim that the Shopify Sidekick or Taco Bell AI is a conscious being.

Esta manhã no Alentejo:

Consegue adivinhar de onde eu sou?
América do Sul?
Não
França?
Sim, parte. A parte má.
E a parte boa?
A parte boa também não é boa.
