Here's A FIELD GUIDE TO AWKWARD SILENCES, my book!
Here's where I blog for the Washington Post.
Here's my winning pun routine. And another less winning pun routine. HEYO!

A woman has identical twins and is forced to give them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him “Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're identical twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."
Hey, guys! It would be really interesting to know from what continents the students next year will come, so if you got accepted this year, please vote! It would be also great if you commented the countries.
How widely accepted is the MBTI personality type in cultures around the world?
My friends and I in the US love to talk about our MBTIs with each other, but I was wondering if other cultures do the same?
For example, I know in Korea, personalities according to blood types has been prevalent. Wondering if they would take MBTI seriously?
Exciting to see a very varied international group. The group's ratio is pretty interesting.
3 Japanese, 1 Taiwanese, 5 Koreans. This is the exact same as Twice but with one more Korean.
I see that some of the Korean members can speak Japanese as well, which makes it very likely to see Japanese songs in Cherry Bullet's future.
I'm curious, do any of the members speak English? I think that's the only thing left for them to be a truly international group.

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hey! I hope it's okay for me to post this META post, mods.
I like this subreddit for the discussions on conferences, writing, journals, etc However, for me as a non-American, it is hard and sometimes even frustrating that you use a lot of abbreviations of which I have to google a lot, like STEM, SLAC, etc It would be superb if either OPs could explain their abbreviations or there could be a short list of the most common ones in the sidebar. This would help a lot.
Also a tagging system for "US-only" posts would be great, so that I can ignore threads instead of reading halfway through and realizing that it's of no interest to me and I cannot possibly contribute.
What are your thoughts?
I went to my first gay party since moving to the Netherlands last night - it was awesome. I had a really good conversation that I wanted to share here, about how cool it is that gay fashion standards. In my homeland of Australia, in England, here in the Netherlands and from what I've seen, in Australia - the trends we have transcend borders. I love how the LGBT community is like a nationality of its own. Love you ladies!
Just listening to the Harvard Yale commentators today and seeing how the entire Yale 1v is foreign (except Nate Goodman) I was just wondering about the other top IRA crews. Are they usually this international? Is it different for JV boats? How about lightweights? Thanks
Has anyone experienced usinh NZ banks to transfer money overseas into a different currency? Are the inflated bank exchange rates and hidden fees really bad?
This year we have Embiid, Simmons, Rodríguez, Saric, and Luwawu joining the team, representing Cameroon, Australia, Spain, Turkey, and France respectively. It's a pretty great collection of young international players if you ask me. Can we expect style differences from players coming from different leagues? Does this give more international exposure to the Sixers "Process" and make them more marketable overseas? Thoughts?
Today at work a customer touched my butt. He said that it was allowed because of rape day. I called the security and they threw him out. To all the guys and girls out there, please stop and stay safe <3
