As a 13 Year Old, How Can I Avoid Being Cringy?

You canu2019t. Part of growing up is looking back on your younger self from a few years (or weeks) ago and cringing. Thatu2019s not a bad thing.

It means youu2019ve grown and changed and improved. The fact that youu2019re embarrassed by how you acted when you were younger means youu2019ve come a long way. Now, perhaps you mean how can you behave in such a way that other people who are older than you wonu2019t cringe.

You canu2019t really do that either. High school students cringe at middle school students, and college students cringe at high school students, and on it goes. Itu2019s because they know in their hearts that they were exactly the same when they were your age.

Sure, maybe it wasnu2019t fortnite dancing and dabbing, but it was something else and it was the same.So, my suggestion is stop worrying about being cringy. You will either way.

Try to immerse yourself in being thirteen, in fads, referencing memes, dating (and really believing their the love of your life, if you want) and identifying as LGBT (even if it is just a phase, that doesnu2019t mean itu2019s not important), obsessing over bands or TV shows and running a fandom blog (if you want) and dressing ridiculously (yes, you will think itu2019s ridiculous eventually however you dress) and try to have a blast. And, when youu2019re a few years older, try to be forgiving of people who are being thirteen.Enjoy being thirteen.

Do your homework, donu2019t do drugs, treat your friends well, and have a blast

Who borrowed from whom, the German Lieben and Russian Liubiti, the word for to love? Did the Germans borrow the word from Slavs or vice versa?

I would not have bothered to butt in (the business of highly-evolved Slavs and Germans who had supposedly taught Hungarians everything, including how to sleep, eat, lie down and walk), but when I saw the statistics of Jan Meyeru2019s answer (too good a ratio for upvotes per views), I decided to make my voice heard.

nThere is no such thing as a proto-Indo-European language (as I opined here as well). There is only laziness and negligence on the part of linguists and their fellow u201cscientists,u201d who donu2019t make a concerted effort at divulging the truth about the knowledge of our ancestors. In the case of the IE word for love and the etymon Lub, there is the Vedic name Lubdhaka, which was used for the star Sirius (in the RigVeda).

nThis same word appears in Sanskrit with a hunter meaning. Well, well. Weu2019ve seen this one before.

Orion is the Hunter.nOrion and Sirius were looked upon as one constellation in the past (we have Parthian-Persian, Sumerian and Akkadian-Assyrian proof for that). nLubdhaka doesnu2019t mean hunter, though.

It means Star/Light of the Daka people. The Daha/Dahae/Du00e1k/Dacian people were Scythians, Turanians, not Indo-Europeans. (Of course, Daka/Du00e1k again is a name referring to a celestial entity, but not wolf.

)nAs for the love meaning, Sirius was the Goddess of Love and War. Our Magyar word for love, szerelem (szeret means like and love), interestingly, have the same Ser/Sir etymon found in the name Sirius as well.nThis is how you try to find the original meanings of words.

Not just lean back and say, u201cproto-Indo-European.u201dnI have another two or three pagesu2019 worth of data on words for love and their possible origins, but lack of time stops me from translating them and putting them up here. Consider yourselves off the hook, PIE fans.

What is the most correct way to answer "How are you?" in Canada?

Canadian here.

Eh.The most u2018correctu2019 way? There is none - not objectively and independent of context, anyway.

It depends on what reaction youu2019re hoping for.I say something along the lines of, u201cCould be worseu201d, with a great grin on my face. Not only is this effective for treating my occasional cynicism, but it also forces people to actually consider my words (because for whatever reason, despite u201ccould be worseu201d literally meaning u201cgoodu201d, people tend to react as though itu2019s a bad thing).

Iu2019m not a fan of saying things just because everyone does, without caring about the answer; hence, thatu2019s what I say and why I say it.But if you want to avoid the philosophical hassle of such an endeavour as mine, go with u201cgoodu201d or u201cfineu201d. If you want to be a real good public servant about things, add, u201chow are you?

u201d to the end of your u201cgoodu201d or u201cfineu201d - sometimes that makes people feel better and life goes on a little nicer as a result.Now, to address your additional questions in the question details.Iu2019m incredibly biased on the topic, because I live in quite the multicultural city, but Iu2019ll try to avoid bias when I say this: itu2019s perfectly fine to say, u201cHow are you doing?

u201d, but u201cWhatu2019s up?u201d may get you a few strange looks. This is because, u201cWhatu2019s up?

u201d is a staple of teen culture, which many adults simply donu2019t like (especially if it comes from an adult).I think you didnu2019t hear u201cHow are you doing?u201d because (a) most people tend not to ask that of anyone, and (b) we tend to use contractions in our sentences a lot

Can I study Astrobiology if I graduated in Marine Biology?

I finished the last of my class work in December of 1976, so I donu2019t remember everything, and besides what Iu2019ve forgotten, things may have changed.I changed majors and schools a number of times and lost credit hours in some of those transfers. By the time I graduated, my first major gave me the courses to become my minorSo if you really want to make this change, you must follow your heart and follow your star to Astrobiology, even if some courses wonu2019t transfer.

But what the Hell! Why wonu2019t Marine Biology be useful? A lot of the life in the Solar System is bound to be found in seas beneath the ice of Europa, Ganymede, Callisto or Enceladus or maybe even Neptune and Uranus.

As far away from the Sun as Neptune and Uranus are, beneath miles of overburden, there could be an area where it is warm enough for liquid water. (Just think of where extremophiles live on Earth. I know youu2019ve been thinking of them, or you wouldnu2019t be thinking of going from Marine Biology to Astrobiology.

)In Marine Bio, I am guessing that youu2019ve heard of the bacteria that eat crude oil. So maybe youu2019ve been thinking of something that could live in the methane seas of Saturnu2019s moon, Titan. At first, and for many years, the work on these worlds out past the ice line will be done with robots.

So look for courses to help you with all the technology, in time you will be directing robots and even telling engineers what you need the robots to do.You are still young enough to find world enough and time to study Astrobiology.

How do the Latter-day Saints missionaries and Jehovah's Witnesses react when they happen to knock on each other's doors?

When I was a Witness I twice encountered Mormons more by accident than design. I found their zeal most disturbing. Their insistence that they were right and their ability to shrug off cognitive dissonance in favour of belief bias was similar to my own.

We were evenly matched in our devotion and conviction. We neither gave an inch and had all the answers off pat. I had some smart answers to their teaching that the Book of Mormon was inspired by god and their answers were similarly well thought out.

This led to the simple question One of us is wrong - they think its me and I think its them. We think this for the same reasons. What makes the Witnesses right and the LDS wrong?

This question led to a simple possibility One of us is right but possibly neither of us is right. It isnt impossible that Im as wrong as they are!This lodged in the back of my mind for years and in my quieter moments it concerned me greatly.

After all, religion is faith, not fact. And faith is only a matter of opinion and opinions can be incorrect. When I at last opened my mind to the reality of the religion I had defended tooth and nail so long, it wasnt hard for that single element of doubt I had harboured all those years to push me to realise I had been duped for 46 years.

Somewhere I knew that the fact that neither religion (in fact, any religion!) could actually prove their case was a key factor in why I should doubt anything without empirical evidence
