I know I am being underpaid and overworked at my current full time job, however, I learned first-hand how it's actually suppose to be like as a receptionist at a well establish, well paying dental office. In my current job, my manager and I are the only people in the billing department, so I'm stressed everyday because there's very little room for mistakes. I went to help out a friend at her office in a nicer neighborhood. She's a dental assistant, and I'm a receptionist / biller. The front desk there are so relaxed and are getting paid A LOT MORE than what I get at my current job. They also do less than half of what I do at my current job.
My current job is like 7 miles away, and my friend's office is like 20 miles 😲 . I guess I just sound super bitter, but yep. Lesson learnt today haha.

The Megamillions lottery is going to be $2 per ticket come October 31st.
I learned that Trump´s sexual misconduct allegations have a wiki article of their own. This relates to the current Hollywood scandals of course. He bragged about assaulting women in public too with the First Lady holding a speech against that very matter. So yeah, you can apparently do an anything if the big 2 parties put you as their running man.
Seriously, look how long that article is... And it has separate spin-off entries too 😲 .

I learned from 'Tweek x Craig' that Japan makes people gay 🤣 🤣 🤣 Then I read some internet commentary and laughed at the homophobes offended by the art.

Technically it was three days ago...
But anyways. I learned that even I can play too much. Apparently playing Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet for eleven hours nonstop will give me an awful pain in my left thumb that lasts for two days...

I learned that when you go further into a series (watched/or read) than you felt you should it doesn't end well. and you have only yourself to blame.
but... when you drop it like the dead horse it is, your next series immediately makes you feel so alive

I learned the difference between a food pantry, soup kitchen, and a homeless shelter. A food pantry takes canned and boxed goods for donations. Soup kitchen takes hot food for donations. A homeless shelter primarily just gives housing to those in need.

Today I learned how to make a frequency distribution histogram - it's a bar chart, each column of which relies on a particular characteristic value or bit interval (for grouped frequencies). The height of the column is proportional to the frequency of occurrence of the corresponding value. Since I'm currently studying statistics at the university, and specifically doing a frequency distribution table for grouped data, this histogram will help to understand and visually see all the data.

Bring on film 2 to 5! I´ll even read the book. I mean, I read that Dark Horse comic. Why not? I now have an artbook or two to hunt down. This is better developed than Star Wars...
