this may be "two beers deep and crying over Эпидемия music videos" me speaking but

you should absolutely fully commit to whatever language-learning goals you have as much as you can because i was [badly] translating Japanese earlier and look

no matter how much Japanese I learn, I don't truly believe I will ever be able to communicate the nuances of even one single sentence in English as well as it was communicated in the original Japanese

for anyone who doesn't know, last year I was lucky enough to have the resources to spend three terms at a Japanese language school in Tokyo and our teachers were always trying to communicate to us the emotion or nuance in the way a particular piece of grammar was used, or what the connotations of a certain word are

and yeah the more AI and machine translation and whatever advances the more media from other countries you can enjoy to some degree but everytime I encounter one of those pieces that I remember a teacher saying "this grammar comes with emotions attached" (この文法は気持ちが入ってますよ) I think "wow, how can I possibly convey this in a translation?" and it fills me with a desire to learn as much more as I possibly can

honestly I regret not committing to Finnish or Russian at this level when I had the chance

Just saw a post asking how tall people are and now I want to make it a poll. Apologies to people in the fringe height categories, you do not get specifics.

I had to consult a chart for this

I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"

Happy pride month to my dad. When I came out as bi to him, this man googled what it ment, look at me and said "ohh. Yeah. You get that from me. You'd have far more siblings of I only shaged women." And went right back to his work emails.

Trans women aren't your gender science teachers. We're fucking people.

so i wore a pride flag pin to work the other day and the kids were all interested (obviously) (find me a classroom of preschoolers who are not obsessed with rainbows) (i'll wait) so they crowded around to see.

"aww!" they said, "it's a flag!!"

but the thing is: they're little. a lot of them don't really have a handle on all their mouth sounds yet.

such as, notably, that tricky tricky "L" sound.

Nalle Puh cosplay on hyvin yksinkertainen.

Et tarvitse kuin punaisen t-paidan joka peittää noin puolet yläruumiistasi.

Ja kirjaimellisesti et mitään muuta. Et mitään muuta.
