It is though. Only a bit, but you can’t get that orange even using the orange concealer he uses wrong.

Fun fact, btw: it’s not spray tan. The real story is much sadder. It’s a certain brand of concealer he buys in bulk, because way back in his the Apprentice days, a talented makeup artist made him look far, far better on camera than he looked in the mirror, and he asked her how she made him look so good.

According to an interview she later gave, she explained her whole routine. It seems he stopped listening after her fist few sentences, though, because from then on he began buying the first step she used (a certain orange concealer) and just slathering it all over his face as the one and only step.

Some of his previous maids have confirmed this, and some have said he goes through shirts like no one else because the concealer stains like crazy. It’s not meant to be used that way, you’re supposed to use it sparingly underneath foundation, powder, etc. he uses it alone and in copious amounts.

Spray tan or bronzer would at least make some sense. The real story is worse.

He is that inattentive and stupid.

They’re all basically the same. Narcissistic dragons.

The bottom one. He’s pretty orange, but the contrast was clearly boosted to make him look even more orange than usual.

Also the top one. His lips never open that wide.

I get that this image has been manipulated to make him look worse, but not by much.

It’s insane he doesn’t see how bad he looks. In normal pictures he looks like a reverse orange raccoon, and he thinks that’s a good look.

Like, it’s so sad nobody in his circle can tell him how bad he always looks. They glaze him to the point he thinks he’s fucking Adonis.

Absolutely sad. And even more sad that the rest of us see how sad this is. I’d much rather see reality and be poor than look like a sad clown on the world stage.

I’d feel very bad for him and others like him (Elon, several celebrities) except I just can’t, and I couldn’t live with myself knowing how I look like an utter buffoon in front of everyone. But these fuckers have no empathy.

‘Perfectly capable’.

Look, it works, okay? Survival of the fittest is a misnomer; it’s survival of the fit enough.

Have we tried just dropping our babies on city asphalt with a few sticks? Maybe we’re overdoing things.

Nobody sees him eating other muppets, so 100% ambush predator.

No one knows what happens when the lights go off on Sesame Street.

I assume it’s like My Friendly Neighbourhood, and Big Bird is the apex predator. Sometimes muppets just… vanish.

Hey man, all ducks are beautiful.

Oh no, I think I bollocksed this comment, haven’t I.

Sounds like a skill issue.

Earliest I have is from 2017, 15 years after. It would be fun to see the original if it still exists.

Oh my god, it’s been 22 years.

This meme can buy alcohol now.

In all seriousness, this could actually help. Smell and taste are known to be strong memory triggers.

I wonder if having a certain flavoured/scented lozenge whilst studying a topic (one you don’t normally use), and then using it during a test, would maybe help with recall?

I’ve never heard of a study in this, but it could be interesting to see if it helps at all?

‘Edited to add’

Thanks. :)

I have Ehlers Danlos, which is mostly a curse, but has the benefit of looking really young.

This is great advice, thanks!

Kegels. You can master rhythm, be better at sex, and prevent incontinence as you age. Best of all worlds.

I never claimed anything else. Also, the fi in my scifi is there on purpose. :)

That’s true. This is a slightly broader method, though.

You still start with your ideal method (read it first), then study by augmenting by adding as many senses as possible: read it out loud to yourself, make flash cards for key definitions/concepts, draw concept, etc.

For people who learn best a certain way, this is meant to supplement, not replace.

Then read it more than once: in your head, then aloud. That’s still worth doing, because it still engages vision, speech, hearing, etc, even if you must read through silently before this to grok it.

I’d still do this anyhow.

Yes exactly. I did this with my son when he was young (90s).

This is why I think there’s a name for this – it seems obvious enough for sociologists and psychologists to have looked into it.
