While some search engines rely on one algorithm that combines contextual analysis and popularity rankings to determine relevancy, Watson uses multiple algorithms simultaneously and then compares the various results to arrive at the most likely answer.
I’m so sorry you’re feeling stressed out. Wishing you peace and better days ahead. Don’t let the turkeys get you down
I’m sorry you’re feeling that bad. Please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8355) right away, and/or immediately call Counseling Services (617-552-3310) or visit them in Gasson 001 and ask to speak to with the Psychological Emergency Clinician (PEC). If it’s not during work hours, call BC Police (617-552-4444) if you’re on campus or 911 if not. I and many, many people want you to get past this bad moment, and are ready to help.
![What is [redacted]'s favorite word?](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/aw050719-13r.jpg)
IDK, better ask them. (Sorry about redacting the name. Policy.) My own favorite word is squinch. I like both the sound and the concept: it’s the magical element of architecture that allows a square wall to meet a round, domed ceiling. What’s your favorite word?
Yes. But it’s also a good idea to invest in sleep and decent food. You’ll remember more if you’re rested and not stressed out.
Don’t.
Maybe the OP qualifies as that strange online activity I’ve heard about called “trolling”: IOW, provocation for fun.
You live there too, so make arrangements that accommodate everyone’s needs. As for them using your bed- gross! I wonder if you meticulously make up your bed (e.g. military-style), they might find it too hard to hide the evidence and just move to another location.
Yes, they actually do! You’ll want to consult with your dentist and discuss options, like veneers or bonding, etc., and possibly get a referral to a specialist, and then you can decide if it’s worth it for cosmetic reasons.
Since I’m a wall, I don’t eat. Sometimes I get a little envious of people when they talk of delicacies, but in this instance…. nope!
If the food remains in his mouth, he will still go to bed hungry. So, wake him up and make him swallow.
The Magic 8 Ball says “Outlook Good.” But she has her good days and bad days, like any of us. Wishing you success this go ’round!
I’m sorry that happened. Hopefully, exhaustion will help you sleep soundly tonight. If this is a perennial problem, look into solutions for insomnia (bit.ly/mayo-insomnia). If it’s a matter of staying up all night to finish a project or study, I hope the rest of this semester’s conclusion can involve more rest.
Porn cliches can be awkward. Some people like that, some people like it some of the time, some people think it’s gross and/or degrading. Totally your call about what you’re comfortable with.
Talk to your RA or RD for guidance. If at any time you feel like you are at risk, call BC Police at 617-552-4444.
I am a wall between the viewing public and spoilers. I’ve heard it’s worth seeing. That is all.
On the one hand, many people are uncomfortable navigating the tricky terrain of a friendship that turns romantic. On the other hand, a romantic relationship with friendship at its base can be a very strong, long-lasting one, with a rare degree of trust and openness. Make the invitation, but give your friend as much room (and time!) as they need to answer, with the knowledge that they may say no. If you give them this freedom and are genuinely willing to accept “no,” it’s unlikely you’ll jeopardize your friendship.

We are always all awash in feelings whether or not we acknowledge them. The key is to be aware of them as they happen, and willing to experience and observe without holding on. A meditation practice can help, as can getting perspective from a conversation with a trusted confidante, which can be a friend, a relative, or even a therapist or counselor. bit.ly/BC-counseling
It’s all a little confusing, but the story seems to be that the rapper XXXTentacion invented the word before he was shot & killed last summer. Jenesis Sanchez had a baby early this year she claims is his (and is willing to get a DNA test to prove it), and named him Gekyume.
Roughly that in the US, down slightly to 45% in recent years, according to the CDC. bit.ly/CDCunintended
