(To save your work, copy and paste it into an email or a document.) ![]() With "The Dark Knight" in mind as an example, talk about another movie, book, play, or song that you'd describe as dysphoric. If you have any questions about this word, please message me at it:Įxplain the meaning of "dysphoric" without saying "distressed" or "depressed." try it out:Ī writer for the New York Times described the movie "The Dark Knight" as dysphoric, which makes sense: it's a dark, gritty, crime-riddled movie with a deeply unsettling villain. Troy Patterson, The New Yorker, 21 September 2018 has this page helped you understand "dysphoric"? Electronic advertising desecrates the bridges, but boringly so, and outside the window of Owen's Roosevelt Island apartment, a neon ad for Oral-B alternates with one for Jolly Rancher." "The baseline reality of the story is New York City, reconstructed in a dysphoric future. Kevin Helliker, quoting John Babcock, Wall Street Journal, 25 October 2016 'I get dysphoric if they lose and then I cannot sleep.'" He was too scared of another disappointment. ![]() "Over the years, as the Cubs bungled their pennant dreams time after time, Babcock found himself unable to watch postseason games. That's for the general meaning of "dysphoric" and "dysphoria." There's also a specific kind of dysphoria that I should mention: gender dysphoria. Here's how PFLAG defines it: "the distress caused when a person's assigned sex at birth and assumed gender is not the same as the one with which they identify." I'll also echo PFLAG's suggestion that it's good to focus on the opposite, gender euphoria, which is a feeling of happiness and well-being "when one's gender is recognized and respected by others, when one's body aligns with one's gender, or when one expresses themselves in accordance with their gender." Cheers to that! If you describe a feeling, an experience, a novel, a poem, a play, or a dream as dysphoric, you're expressing how deeply disturbing, uncomfortable, or anxiety-provoking it is, as if it disrupts your sense of self or your grip on reality. "Dysphoric" is a semi-common word with an academic and psychiatric tone. grammatical bits:Īdjective: "a dysphoric feeling," "this dysphoric storytelling." Today, it most often means "a very deep, distressing sadness or discomfort."Īnd so, something dysphoric involves a very deep, distressing sadness or discomfort. "Dysphoria" first showed up in English in 1842, in a medical dictionary, and it originally meant "suffering, or restlessness." In Greek, dysphoria means "pain or anguish that's hard to bear." Inside that word, you can see the Greek bits meaning "bad or hard" ( dys-) and "to bear, or to carry" ( pherein). (Pronounce it like this: "dis FOR ee uh.") (To reveal any word with blanks, give it a click.) definition: See if you can recall it: to be _phoric is to be extremely cheerful or happy, especially in an unrealistically confident way.

Now, some things are quite essential when you are playing the game for the first time. You will see quite less and only useful types of gadgets on the touchscreen when starting the game. The developers have used the full potential of the technology to create one of the best racing games that have ever existed on the play store. There are more than 100 cars and racers coming from different parts of the world where they will have to fight each other to win the title and ultimately the trophy. The game starts with the unique and magical racing world in which everything looks beautiful. So if you have not managed to play this game, this is the golden chance for you. The creators of this game had already said when they were launching it on the play store that this game would have some awesome graphical qualities that no other game ever had. GRID Autosport is the type of racing game that has tons of great missions, and you will have to overcome each different kind of challenge to make sure you have survived in these hard times. ![]() People usually get bored of playing tons of arcade and normal types of games, so in such cases, what they need is some exciting game that will bring a great smile to their faces. However, because racing games bring that joy and smile to our face, which makes us always happy ab0out every sort of thing, considering such demand today, I have brought you the latest version of GRID autosport apk that you can download and play at any point of time. There are very few types of games that I frequently play if you are the type of guy who has never played any racing games before, you are completely wasting your life. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments In retrospect it was inevitable![]() ![]() That today I read nothing in either Latin or Greek (cannot any longer, in fact, read Greek at all) is a reflection on myself, not on the discipline. Having in Form V had an excellent mathematics teacher, the headmaster himself, I am able to calculate that, of the 10,000 hours of my life that I sat in classrooms of Harrison College, 50 per cent was devoted to the life and languages of ancient Greece and Rome. Even in Form VI, when that threat no longer existed, an hour spent poring over the grammatical solecisms of Aeschylus was hard slogging, not honey-sipping. No one thinks in such terms, who is faced every Friday in Form IIA, with a written test of his knowledge of ablative absolutes and the genitives of the obscurer Latin nouns, the whole overhung with the threat of detention or the cane, should the knowledge prove inadequate. Certainly none of us thought of them as flowers. The pollen that rubbed off on me did not deprive others of the hive, and is probably not apt, a schoolmaster is more likely to blanch than bow at being likened to a flower. I say “I” bequeathed, as though the gathering of the treasure had been my express purpose, when, like a bee smeared with pollen while looking for honey, I had acquired it absent-mindedly, not to say unwillingly. But pleasure is not the same as profit, and, to return to the matter of wills and testaments, I am most ready to acknowledge that it was a rich inheritance which I bequeathed from my school days to my years beyond. They come as far down the scale of remembered pleasure as of time, and I suspect that anyone who thinks otherwise has not progressed very far into adulthood. ![]() School days are not the happiest of one’s life. My doubts about the truth of the adage also proved to be justified. Shouldn’t one, on the threshold of a new life, look ahead with optimism rather than back with regret? Or is it just one more example of Jehovah’s perversity that Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt? Even now, those phrases seem to me to contain an excellent sentiment. In any case, I was prepared to have an open mind on the subject.Ī headmasterly blue pencil had deleted these phrases from the copy that went to the printer, perhaps wisely from his point of view, but as far as I was concerned, he had removed the essence of what I had to say. I had stated quite clearly in my original copy that I was glad to be leaving school, that lack of knowledge of what lay beyond prevented me from being certain, but that I very much doubted the truth of the old adage about one’s school days being the happiest of one’s life. However, this “Last Will and Testament” (it appeared precisely under that title) bore in its printed form little resemblance to what I had written. That was not difficult to arrange, since at the time I was editor of the Harrisonian. The first that I remember writing, somewhat prematurely it seems, since I was not yet at the end of my third seven-year span, actually achieved publication. If I composed such testaments, mentally or on paper, at the ages of seven and fourteen, I do not remember them. What he finds himself doing is selecting from among the experiences of that period those that he will preserve into the next, and into all subsequent periods. On the other occasions we are the inheritors, as anyone knows who has actually set pen to paper to record, at its end, a period of his life. It is, of course, an idle arrogance, since only once do we have anything to bequeath, if even then. We compose many last wills and testaments during our lifetime, an average of ten, if we are to accept the popular proposition that one begins a new life every seven years. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Just dance 2022 xbox 360![]() ![]() “Mood” by 24KGolden and “Pop/Stars” by K/DA are favourites, but it mixes in a few lesser known or international tracks in order to broaden the appeal across the demographic. Of the 47 tracks on offer, only a select fee are real bangers. Some tracks have extreme versions as well, which up the ante further. Set at Easy, Medium, or Hard, your goal is to love when they move, which sounds incredibly simple but which in practice is anything but for a non-dancer. Some have slightly higher production values though, such as “Human” by Sevdaliza which has the dancer in full costume on a set. The majority of these are psychedelic affairs with professional dancers placed front and centre, with the controlling hand illuminated so you know where yours should be. Its bright and colourful, with each of the 47 tracks sporting its own video. Unless you’re taking it seriously (which some may, of course), you’re definitely going to have a laugh with Just Dance 2022. Even when playing head to head, either with someone beside you or distant internet folk on the World Dance Floor, the result will probably be the same: laughter. And don’t deny it we know you did it.īut that would be cheating yourself more. Since you control the action with just one hand (gripping a Joy-con on Switch or a mobile device on the other platforms), you could quite easily cheat the game and just wave your arms around like you did on Wii Boxing. Partly, this is attributed to just how accessible Just Dance is. And yet even I have a fair amount of knowledge – if not skill – when it comes to this franchise. I have two left feet and the coordination and spacial awareness of a half-blind squirrel tied to a ceiling fan. Strictly speaking, I’m not sure I’m the intended audience for Just Dance 2022. ![]() They know what they’re selling us, and we know what we’re buying. Rather than attempt to innovate in meaningful, and risky, ways, Ubisoft understand their brand. It offers comfort in the form of familiarity, yes, but as with Ubisoft’s now-patented sandbox, the formula simply works. ![]() To outright call Just Dance 2022 formulaic would be inaccurate and, frankly, a little disparaging. And with Just Dance 2022, Ubisoft prove once again that they are the kings and queens of consistency. Perhaps no other franchise outside of FIFA can promise that feeling as well as Just Dance can. We pretend we want to wait a year while whichever multi-billion dollar corporation fine-tunes its latest annual release, but really we just want the comforting embrace of the Known. When there are gaps in the supply chain we feel them. As sure as Christmas is Christmas, we expect the next Far Cry, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Forza, or Pokemon to drop year on year. We thrive on routine, on planning ahead, knowing what’s coming. We humans are, as a species, creatures of habit. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Work timer online![]() ![]() If you’re looking to track your daily tasks, few services can beat Trello or Evernote for freelancers or small businesses, however, with plenty of Trello tips for new and advanced users to try.

NASA's original quiz was updated to reflect the continued addition of CO 2 to the atmosphere, which raised the percentage to 46%. When the climate literacy quiz was originally written in 2018, the answer was 43%. This question is from the NASA quiz, It's a Gas. Humans have profoundly changed the composition of Earth's atmosphere, and along with that, the energy balance of the planet. When today's CO 2 trend is viewed in the context of 400,000 years of climate data, the result is even more stark. Around 80% of all human-produced carbon dioxide comes from burning coal, natural gas, oil and gasoline. Answer: CO 2 in the atmosphere has risen 49 percent since 1751.įrom 1751-2018, humans added 1,611 billion tons of carbon to the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.

By contrast burning fossil fuels rapidly releases carbon that has been stored in Earth's crust for millions of years. This is an example of a short-term process within the carbon cycle, and it balances out from year to year. Plants use up CO 2 to make carbohydrates/sugar/which?, animals eat the plants and return the CO 2 to the atmosphere. Some life forms, like humans and mammals exhale CO 2, but this CO 2 only recently came out of the atmosphere. Note also that answer b, 'Life exhales gas that warms up the atmosphere,' is partly true. Variations in the tilt and orbit of Earth do affect how much solar radiation reaches the Earth, and this is one of many natural variations in our climate system. Note that answer c, 'The tilt of the Earth changes the amount of solar energy the Earth receives,' is also true, but is not related to the greenhouse effect. Without this natural greenhouse effect, the Earth's average temperature would be below freezing! These gases can have potent effects even in small quantities. ![]() Gases that trap heat are called greenhouse gases and they include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen oxides. The greenhouse effect is somewhat like a blanket that retains your body heat and keeps you warm. Certain gases in the atmosphere have the ability to absorb radiation that would otherwise escape into space. The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon.

On Wednesday, the reality star and entrepreneur who is part of the famous Kardashian-Jenner clan talked in her posted statement about being labeled "the fat sister" and "the ugly sister" on social media. "The color edited photo was taken of Khloé during a private family gathering and posted to social media without permission by mistake by an assistant," Tracy Romulus, chief marketing officer for KKW Brands, told Page Six in a statement. Kardashian wrote that "the pressure, constant ridicule and judgment my entire life to be perfect and to meet other's standards of how I should look has been too much to bear."Įarlier this week is was reported that her team was trying to get the casual shot, which showed Kardashian in a bikini by the pool, removed citing copyright infringement. "But as someone who has struggled with body image her whole life, when someone takes a photo of you that isn't flattering in bad lighting or doesn't capture your body the way it is after working to hard to get it to this point - and then shares it to the world - you should have every right to ask for it not to be shared - no matter who you are." "The photo that was posted this week was beautiful," the statement read.
