Im attracred to the iphone a bit due to the camera's colours and capabilities
if i had enough money i would have gotten a sony xperia 5 III tho
so yeah i'll see at the store when I can go
gl getting a good phone
👍
I lucked out on getting a OnePlus 6T when OnePlus was at their peak
Ohhh I remember OnePlus
they still make phones?
I cant find them on my retailer for some reason
Yeah they make flagship phones now instead of "flagship killers"
They became what they were against
yeah i hate big phones
S21's diagonal is 6.4 inch which is already huge and iphone 12's is 5,4 inches
I bought a case with a band on the back so I can stick my fingers in it
and use it one handed
bro im still using my iphone SE i don’t know about yall
my battery is terrible and i know in my heart i should get a new phone but its so perfect
also i have an otterbox case so if this thing breaks its mostly likely internally
I am using xiaomi 9A
I've been using a pixel 2 xl basically since it came out, the charging port is dying but everything else is still working really well
Gonna upgrade soon but this thing has done well by me
I'm happy with my Nokia 6.1 for 3 years now, got it quite cheap back then, too. Battery's fine, everything works, good phone.
Probably from thermal stress fractures around solder joins were I to guess. Not because of the otterbox tho just because it's old.
I'm using samsung note 10+ cause I thought the pen might be handy. Not only do I not use the pen at all, it's also stuck
And I can't get it out 
Lmfao
way back when, I got a note 2 thinking it will get me into drawing
and the only drawing on there was my friend's
I've drawn some sketches for my latte arts, but out of all of them, only one of them resembles the sketch lmao.
as a kid i thought pens were the coolest thing ever
I didn't, I lost a lot of stuff. So idw add that to the list 
ive always hated pens. theyre just so permanent
oh yeah? then why did my pen run out of ink
i did but i found this metallic green brush pen and my life is changed
its like paint in a pen and i can take notes so easily its incredible
permanence is stability.. you can be sure that whatever you drawn will not be erased by your palm unintentionally, or by paper sheets rubbing against each other
yes, it's harder to get rid of errors, but when i was a kid that was not a concern

*Whiteout
Defeated the pen, Titan Ink is mine
900 more steam points for that sick hades bundle 
woke up at 4:30 in the morning to pick my mum up from the airport 🤪
that looks pretty healthy and affectionate for a feral, probably a stray or outdoor cat
but congrats on the friend
wait whats the difference between stray and feral
im gonna check around and see if its any of the neighbors cat
its suupper affectionate tbh
every time ive seen it just hangs out under the house
today it came out and was just basking in the sun at the yard and then followed me around everywhere
ferals aren't socialized
so a feral would run from you or maybe just watch you
but aw that's super cute
this cat either has or had an owner
oh a stray is what i was thinking then
but yeah ill check and see if they have an owner around
its really common for cats in this area to just be strays tbh
ferals are also prone to hissing and being hostile in general
well it's great you made a little friend
cats back now
its meowing a lot
doesnt want to come out from under the house and i dont blame it its 85 with 59% humidity
this doesnt happen with pencils, thank god
awwww
Its been.... about a decade since I cared about pencils but I still simp for the Kuru Toga
not great at drawing but amazing for notes
this cat said no computer for you https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/843753380677550090/985376929714667570/9BE21797-7D1C-4F42-8369-251A1F2279ED.jpg
Cat owns you now, sorry I don't make the rules
also confirmed hes a boy and unfixed
HE REALLY DOES
OH MY GOD
THERES TWO OF THEM


"Hey sis this hooman is good can we get 'em" ~the cat on your laptop probably
i wonder if theyre strays
"Khajiit can move his tail for a coin"
the boys pretty roughed up (big scab on the neck) and the girl has a knick in her ear
wait that means she (or maybe he) has been neutered right
probably will I’d they stay around
from what i remember the cut in the ear means theyre a feral cat thats been neutered
i'm not an expert but victor has the same thing and he was a feral

i am fairly certain that ear tipping is for spayed/neutered strays and ferals
i was just having a really bad depressive spiral and the little rascal helped my calm down so if he has a sister (or maybe a neutered brother i cant tell) then theyre welcome and also so cute omg
hes majestic
okay wait so i think the cat who i first met was the sis and then this little dude was hiding under the house and then claimed my computer as his own
Cat has used: appear
It's super effective!
this dumb dude just tried to catch a wasp
his sibling stopped him as the responsible one
cats are so cutee
theyre so pretty
lil worried the dogs gonna scare them away
or dad
they are on top of the dogs create (hes not here) but omg these cats are stupid
hes not aggressive but hes part hound and im worried his prey drive will kick in and he or the kitties will get hurt
LETS GOO
parent(s?) are okay with this
congrats on the parent-approved friends
but yeah it's a good idea to be careful with dogs and cats, since it can be hard to tell how they'll react
now what do i name the cats is the question
hamster and squirrel
or dogamy and dogaressa
reviving a currently absent chat by saying "dead chat" and nothing else terribly interesting nor compelling >
it's a pain isn't it?
spotify three ads vs youtube two ads 
adblock 🙏
they've been getting more egregious with them lmao I won't pay for premium bc I mostly use spotify in the car and the price is not worth it for me for how i use it. i don't mind a couple ads here and there but now sometimes they're hitting me with like 6 in a row and I'm sitting there at a light just like, yo are y'all for real... sucks lol 😭
and not only the price but also like... everything ever demands a subscription service anymore, do you people think I'm made of money 😶
It almost feels like we back in the cable tv days
it's worse honestly, because at least you were just dealing with cable tv and not everything else you use demanding monthly payments too for basic functionality
Yeah that's very true
I hate that pandora (the music streaming service) isn't availible in aus because I quite liked it
They pulled out in aus when international companies were forced to add gst (basically a 10% sales tax for the US folk) onto purchases under 1000$ AUD
I've never gotten Spotify just on a basis that being able to play an album in order should not have been a paid feature ever
its just on mobile, you can do that just fine on desktop. its more weird that certain things are paywalled on mobile where they arent on the desktop app
What.
What. (1)
Well then! Good thing I never bothered with Spotify
oh you know, everything these days being a hellscape and the like
I miss Winamp
lol there is like no service (generally speaking, not just music streaming and such) that is offered to consumers in good faith anymore bc any that do get bought up by someone bigger if they get successful and made worse
or shut down, that happens too
and everything going subscription because we arent allowed to own things anymore is so 🤪
bandcamp my beloved
i like bandcamp but their mobile player is. bad.
youall don't just buy from bandcamp and save into your phone/player?
im not listening to artists that use bandcamp, so no.
but but I have all my ripped CDs on desktop 
oh I was referring to people using the bandcamp mobile player
😭
throwback to when ipods and music players are all the rage
now I'm the only person I know irl who still owns a music player
yeah, they only now added a queue feature... though it's perfect for me, I pretty much only listen to albums anyway
i had an ipod classic for years but it fell out of my pocket when i was running for the bus 😰 i miss it so much
I have this small af mp3 with all the songs from when I was 9-11 or so
Lots of good and bad memories in there
i still have my ipod touch! i miss it but it doesnt hold a charge well anymore
a few years ago i sold my ipod nano from high school i think? it had all my Linkin park music on it and everything, it was very funny to go through it
i thought i was so cool and edgy
Linkin Park is cool
Spotify doesn't even have some songs I listen to
this is a concern of mine and why I bought a vpn. spotify has a slight social aspect to it that's made me reconsider subscribing
bandcamp is my preferred music platform of choice but idk how long that will last now
Wyrm
so this cat is my life now i am her own personal cat tree
would it be wrong to feed them
personally, i'd ask neighbours if they knew where the cat came from before feeding them
i would leave out fresh water though
oh thats smart
dunno what to do about bowls though
plastic bowls can increase cat acne
wait wha
cats can get acne
If you want cursed content, search up "cat blackheads"
So metal bowls and non-plastic bowls in general are recommended
I regret searching it up
are paper bowls okay we havent brought over the other bowls for now yknow still moving
thanks my day is ruined
Paper dishes are disposable so if you use them, make sure to dispose of them because I'd imagine they'd get a lil grimy too
i’ll probably bike over to the local pet supplies store and buy some bowls
maybe some toys or smth too im not sure
aww what a cutie
how do we feel about lilikoi for the girl
lily for short
aww cute
i wont make any names official yet
outdoor cats are communal cats
so guess who walked into my house
it is the cat
yeah i went to grab my headphones and there was a cat in my room
Naawwww 
like naw you dont believe me or
Like d'awwww
oh okay
i left the door open and she just walked in lmao
shes back outside now
good i caught her before she went after rosie (chinchilla) or something
so parents are suddenly not okay with giving the cats water.. m8 its not as if they were planning on leaving anyway lmao they were there before we got here apparently
oh that looks tasty
LMAO
ngl the chaos theme is the best thing I've seen in games for a while
what annoying game helltaker is, but feels good when you beat it (both parts)
century egg
hard boiled. omlettes are good too
i lied
Millenia egg
century eggs look so cool
i havent eaten any. they smell very funky though
my friend said it's great. cut in slices and served in porridge
I don't eat eggs at all 
Ah
most eggs smell kinda funky imo but i get what you mean
its cuz theyre fermented
ah
over easy served over yellow curry
that sounds really good
or moo kratiem
scrambled egg with mayo. on bread
any form as long as it's more than 70% cooked (runny yolk ok but whites need to be mostly solid)
if I have to pick one, then hardboiled
runny whites are gross
i liked scrambled eggs
can't stand runny yolk lol
at least they're giving whoever took them an easy out, to hopefully keep things from getting out of hand
Though idk how they're gonna search the building tho, every lab room has its own key
and sure they could ask someone to let them in but it's not hard to hide stuff
and the building itself isn't locked during work hours
Ah yes, there's always some people that would steal electronic equipment
At the place where I worked, the higher ups decided to keep keyboards, mice and cables in a locked shelf
Didn't have to hide the monitors due to security cameras
mmm.... i cant decide between over easy, sunny side up, and scrambled
i dont like runny whites but the crispiness on sunny side up is really nice
what's the scientific name for "sunny side up, but you flip it over for 8 seconds and then serve"
I love poached eggs but suck at making them so I usually have them either fried or boiled 🥲
I eat quail eggs sometimes
They're like chicken eggs
But small
And more... tender
I have this thing we call Bullseyes, it's basically a piece of buttered bread with a small hole cut out of the middle that we fry an egg in. Best cooked with the egg runny, so you can just cut up the (optionally salted) toast and dip it into the egg.
i hope youre having a Great day 
our neighbors have quails and give us their eggs sometimes
wholesome
idk but that sounds good
Quail eggs are the best
It is, the whites end up fully cooked while the yolk is still mostly runny
the scientific name is ovum


aww
they're both very cool
wow the cat is huge
Germans call such a cat a Zweihänder, because you need both hands to pet it 
(I'm kidding
)
too late i believe it
I mean, it's certainly an useful term 
so ive decided to name her brother lynx because he looks like one
so now we have lilikoi and lynx
he took my damn table
cant have anything in hawaii :(
kitty update parents are considering letting me feed the cats
also i might be a little bit allergic to them but that just means washing my hands and not touching my face after petting them, maybe taking some meds
:000
@minor gust post in #self-promotion please!
Ohh okay mb
good morning!
morning
aw

likely dog
cute lizard
looks like a dolphin to me
Is this a pigeon
This one doesn't have wings so likely a penguin.
pigeons are underrated tbh
Proper pigeons? Yes
These flying jerks that act like they own the friggin place? No.
They bully sparrows
You haven't seen them steal food from other birds when they get the chance
Except crows
hello all
hullo
hi
Hi
iH
We have to get the cats collars with bells so they dont murder all the birds so i guess im officially a cat owner
Pink but I'm biased 
black because it looks cool
Im thinking pink or light yellow for lily
Cause lilikoi fruit is yellow lmao
lynx kinda orange or dark blue or black
I’ll see what the local pet store has and update yall on the options
thank you for being a responsible pet owner and working on having them kill as few birds as possible
maybe have the collar contrast the fur color
so... pink

Anyone know of fictional cities that are A) "living" in some way and B) not malevolent?
?? wdym
See ||Aeor|| from Critial Role Campaign 2, for an example of A if not B
you're such a responsible cat parent
if you haven't considered it yet, I do recommend getting dental cat treats!
my cat loves them and it's good for their teeth
another great cat treat is just the freeze dried chicken. cats go wild for them.
Oh we get those for koa! I’ll see if petco has it when we go over there sometime for the collars and everything
I actually think they had some at the local place but unless im around that area i probably wont bike back over there

upload it to an image sharing service like imgur, or a different discord server
then share the link
its not really that restrictive, you're just used to having unlimited access to posting whatever you want. we have these things in place to protect the community

in retrospect, after doing a few 500s I just forgot how much longer a 1k is
lol 1k used to be my norm but I'm moving towards more 500s
partly because the thrift stores near me are having a drought of good 1ks
oof how long did that take?
weeks
idek how many hours in total, we worked on it probably like 2 or 3 hours every day?
and it took probaby 5-6 weeks
maybe longer, im not sure
but it was very exhausting
yeah there were a few pieces missing at the end but we found them under the table and in the couch cushions lol

Just finished my driver's permit test now for my license
breakfast for me is a bowl of porridge (nice!) with... truffle honey (🤔)
truffle honey smells pungent but doesn't taste bad
What does truffle smell like?
extremely unique. fruity, mushroom-y, floral, earthy, even a little meaty... for me, in a fishy kinda way
这个季节里,最珍贵鲜美的就是被誉为“菌中之王”的松茸了,生长在海拔3000米的温带,一般需要5-6年的生长周期。
7月份的时候去了一趟香格里拉,和我的藏族朋友一起走了3个小时的山路,找了接近4个小时,最后只找到了6朵松茸 ,采起来真的有点费时间…… 回去做了一桌菜,松茸刺身、烤松茸、松茸炖乌鸡、云腿山珍酱,配合米饭,面条和饵块一起吃,这一顿的鲜美也值得~

honestly
aw that's cute
it's a real mix of scents. it's incredibly distinct. a scent I possibly missed is 'cheesy'- but not in a cheddary way. like a blue cheese
hihi
honestly supergiant is so cool
also I have somewhere I can constantly talk about my love for hades and the music darren korb makes
IT IS 😭
yep. whats weird is that despite the powerful and really distinct smell, it doesnt really taste like much lol
reminds me of coffee in that way except coffee smells better
man i havent had coffee in a longgg time
id probably like the taste now tbh
the problem is that bc i have adhd, large doses of stimulants make me sleepy lol

This is a VERY important question
Which is the right way to arrange Neapolitan ice cream
chocolate, vanilla, strawberry
Or
strawberry, chocolate, vanilla
I have never heard of Neapolitan ice cream before but I'd say the second one
first
i've had a neapolitan ice cream flavoured hot chocolate before and unfortunately did not enjoy it
who cares about the arrangement when you're gonna scoop all of them at the same time

that... sounds like a sweet galore
NONE because chocolate ice cream sucks
lol i am also not a fan of chocolate ice cream
at least not compared to vanilla, which is much better
its funny because i do like chocolate a lot
so like, ill eat it, but ill think about how there are better ice cream flavors while im eating it
it had a wonderful fragrance but tasted very flat. it could have also been the quality of the hot chocolate mix itself tbh
i once got to ask a hollywood producer what his fave ice-cream flavour was lmao. he said anything nutty- pistachio especially
Nay
Chocolate ice cream is awesome
On it's own
pistachio ice cream is one of my faves as well, its nostalgic for me
being part-filipino, ube ice cream tends to come up a lot. it tastes good but is intensely sweet, sweeter than white chocolate i'd argue. i think black sesame may be my favourite
the thing is that store bought chocolate ice cream is usually not so good (maybe depending on the brand?) but if you go to like, an actual ice cream place, those are good
gelaterias are expensive but typically their quality of ice-cream is best. i was fortunate to go visit several in rome when i went to rome... but i often ordered nutella flavour 😮💨 10 year old me wasn't adventurous. i did order milk (latte) flavour once on my way out the airport and it tasted good
ooh
yeah i usually stuck to the chocolate flavors as well actually lol im sorry for slighting them earlier
Isn't that accurate then? once you mix a neopolitan ice cream together, you can barely tell what it taste 
😔 but at least the ice-cream has a flavour profile 😔
i recently tried lemon-lavender and peach flavors and that was really good... ice cream is the best
the hot chocolate's flavour profile was sugar with notes of sugar and a sugary base
violet flavoured ice-cream is the flavour that eludes me to this day
pineapple gelato/sorbet (i dont remember which it is) slaps
put it in a milkshake its delicious
sorbet is sans dairy
they've begun selling acai sorbet at the shops here now, which sounds promising
ive been to dole many many times in my life ive had so much pineapple ice cream
acai is delicious
acai is a real treat these days. i have several blocks of it in the fridge waiting to be utilised
all this makes me want red bean ice cream 
then again, I'd take red bean in any form
a taiyaki ice-cream would be nice right about now
I have a weird penchant for low quality chocolate ice cream
The fake flavor just agrees with me, like fake watermelon flavor
un worter melone
Lol ice cream is the only medium where I eat red beans
and green beans too
my parents have conditioned me to like red beans and green beans 
my mother tried desperately to do that and completely failed 
along with just about every conceivable traditional Chinese dessert and breakfast food
I also got de-conditioned from sweet potato, corn and cow's milk and can't recall why
cows milk is weird bc I can take it in just about any form apart from drinking it straight
red beans and green beans are prob the only part of traditional chinese dessert I like. I prefer sweet potatoes over normal potatoes nowadays. Grilled corn is bomb.
so... what about other milks?
say goat
Ive never had straight goats milk but did like goat milk yogurt and cheese
yeah I used to eat steamed corn on the cob as a kid and then just, suddenly started hating it
weird 
and it's not from eating it too much bc I've definitely had them less than canned tuna, which I still like a lot
that is a nice arrangement from the original
They look so cute
stinky
I love them
That said, craving coffee when it 10 pm over here is...an experience lmao
Decaf is a thing, though they are a bit bland compared to the real one
Yeah, I don't like decaf! Doesn't help that I am super sensitive to caffeine to begin with!
You prob haven't built enough tolerance. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Coffee rabbithole is deep 
if I have any caffeine after 5:00PM I wont get to sleep until like, 3.
its so interesting to see people who get hyper from caffiene
it has the opposite effect on me
Coffee makes me sleepy too
You say that, and I used to be a barista. My caffeine sensitivity has persisted over my years of consumption. I understand it's more of a good thing than not, but it does produce hilarious results. Like that time I accidentally had three shots of espresso instead of two. And that made all the difference.
I don't get hyper, I just don't sleep
fair
lmao, it's a good thing really. You prob experience little to no caffeine withdrawals. Withdrawals is hell. One time I got a long shift, set up beans in the morning and afternoon, then a friend came along to cup with us and I couldn't refuse... cause he wanted to cup geshas 
needless to say, I was wrecked
Jesus Christ!
H I

as someone who knows nothing about coffee, nothing after sentence 3 made sense
well... what does it mean?
Glad you asked.
Coffee beans degrade over time. How they taste in the morning and in the evening can change. So it's barista's job to keep their taste the same/better by changing one or two variable in the recipe and tasting the result. Basically on that day, I had to drink 3 - 6 espressos.
Cupping is a method for roasters and baristas to find out how specific bag of beans taste. It gets rid of trial and error when making an espresso or filter coffee. Usually, a cupping session can take at least 3 types of coffee beans to taste. On that day, my friend brought 4 types of coffee to taste.
Gesha is one of the best origin of coffee in the world, and if you're wondering about luwak coffee, not only that is animal abuse, none of them taste good. On that day, I couldn't refuse my friend's cupping invitation.
I tried to be concise cause don't want to flood the chat with my nerdiness

hm, interesting
i think ill stick to tea for my caffeinated beverages
i found this mangosteen tea at an asian grocery store, i still need to try it
If you want to flood my dms with nerdiness go right ahead this is so interesting
👀 hello
I wanna be born at coruscant and go to jedi temple and do cool stuff with the force not all this boring terra life
Hello, I want to patch the Hades game in Turkish. My English is not good. Can you show the exact location where should I install the patch?
Can you help please
if you mis-ping me I don't mind but I prefer it left there instead of ghost-pings, unless ofc it's got something like private info or something
sorry i was going to ping supergiant but it came to you sorry man. Can you put it on the tag "SUPERGIANT" for me
Hi, it's best to ask in Hades modding discord for that: https://discord.gg/KuMbyrN
I would be very grateful if you could help 🙂
okey, thank you
ah I see what happened
hello
Hello
Is that the guy from black clover on your pfp but with tanjiro face
howdy howdy
four times a week for a while
thirty minutes dedicated to steady state cardio twice a week
I don't time my weightlifting because it can be unpredictable how long I rest between each movement. I also don't time my stretching because there's no need to
Will I be alright if I do two workouts twenty-thirty minutes each every day for next week and hopefully continue to do that
I wanna lose weight
two days a week is a perfect starting point
the guides I follow are supposed to be designed to help make a body look more feminine but I modify it so that it has equal focus on both the lower and upper body
I also more so focus on strength these days than how my body looks
Oh can you recommend these guides please I need exactly that
when it's not 4:30 in the morning I'll dm them to you because they're all in pdf files
But I feel that if I do it only twice a week my brain will lose focus I'll just forget about it
I can also offer loads of advice regarding working out these days so I'm always a dm away
Sure, thanks
for cardio: two to three times a week for thirty minutes at a time is recommended if you're doing a lot of strength training. however, my country's scientific agency recommends 30 minutes a week 5 times a week for longevity
I used to do 5 times a week and it was personally fun for me
I'm not used to dm people to ask something is that really all right to do
Working out is quite amusing tbh
if you want to, I can dm you initially
That would be great, I would feel more confident that way
there‘s also r/bodyweightfitness with a ton of resources, but that makes it take longer to get into
calisthenics are pretty damn cool
until it's calisthenics program
Such hard labor
Rip roe vs wade
Yeah im not happy with america right now.
Everyone is free. Some more free than others.
corpses and guns are more free then women at this point 
And a fetus is more protected than an actual child
If you do the abortion you'll be charged with murder but after it's born police won't save it from a shooter
people who suffer from a miscarriage are at increased risk, too
i hate that i cant do anything about this and that makes me even more mad at the people who can do help and who can vote and who can say this isnt okay and actually be heard
if you are able to protest safely, that's an option
I saw a video on reddit of cops in riot gear arriving to supreme court
that's true
well, i'll just say this: without any form of protest and action whatsoever, this trajectory will continue and giving up will quicken this path
not everyone can protest, and protests are often unsafe. and if the police are protecting your protect, it's not that much of a protest. but donating money and food (and GOOD food like nut butters and canned meats), volunteering at all kinds of places, education, stuff like, those are also important. then there's more complicated and long term mutual aid projects.
wait
so like if you get yknow they can use it against you in court?
pregnant i mean
im pretty sure yeah
this country is awful
they can subpeona for the data if they have cause to suspect you of seeking an abortion

BREAKING: Abortion is now illegal in Alabama, with providers facing a maximum sentence of life in prison

ugh
okay and when the baby dies because the mother can’t take care of it correctly does the government get life in prison for killing a child
I just
jesus christ
or when the woman dies from getting an unsafe one
oh yeah none of these people actually care about the children once they're born, fetuses are simply convenient political pawns that cant disagree with them. if the children actually mattered we wouldnt be traumatizing them in their own schools, first and foremost
we're still experiencing a formula shortage
women with young children dont get adequate care
but tell me again how much that unborn baby actually matters
the foster care system is still in shambles
i thiiiink they finally extended it just very recently? but they let the bill that gave kids free lunches at schools through the summer lapse too
how about we force men to get vasectomies instead
but no that’s controlling people’s body and dystopian
a corpse literally has more bodily autonomy than anyone with a uterus in america. your organs cannot be taken from you after death even to save another life, without your very explicit and written permission
exactly
i wish i had something to say but im genuinely just so appalled at the state of this country right now that i physically cannot think of anything to say
make sure to take time to de-stress
I, for one, am not coping well =\
Cant wait to be illegal
Im in a state which probably wouldnt but that doesnt mattwr at this point we’re moving BACKWARDS
I know it’s probably just part of the panic but i just
this is honestly so absurd
Do you think I can bill my inevitable hypertension meds to the heritage foundation?
Where's this from? Since it looks like there're more images
Theyre all just general info i think but lemme see if i can find the source
When you’re done processing and ready to fight—Remember we are all in this together. We must be a strong coalition. End infighting and work together.

They aren’t just aiming at AFABs, but the entire LGBTQ+ community’s rights are on much shakier ground than they were before this ruling.

I cried a lot and drew this comic and it helped so I hop...

Awesome, thank you!
Hi

Yeah this honestly incredibly terrifying too
Knowing this won't stop and could lead to gay/interracial marriages also becoming illegal in many more states
I feel like i eant to throw up and i cant tell if its because of this or the copious amount of sprite ive had
As well as just being gay, quite literally bringing the entire nation back more than half a millena
yeah its just
christ ive always imagined marrying someone i love and at the rate this is going that wont happen in america
yeah
Its genuine insanity
What I don't understand is why the right to abortion wasnt codified into law in those 50 years
I guess it wouldn't have made that much of a difference? I'm not into the US legal system but I'd assume they would just declare a possible abortion law unconstitutional
I would say take one fight at a time.
What the SCOTUS decided is that abortion law is not for the SCOTUS to decide. They basically pass the ball back to the Legislature. Law makers need to step up their games instead of relying on judges to decide what rights people should have (beyond Constitutional ones).
Which is to say email/call your representatives, protest, etc. because it is a good time to pass laws that makes sense instead of relying on a controversial case.
Why does an extremely small group of people decide what should happen to bodies of over 300 million other people
Gm everyone!
I know where you‘re coming from, but that‘s just representative democracy and it‘s got upsides and downsides. And different implementations as well
in a great twist of irony, they decided that they are not going to decide what right beyond constitutional rights people are going to enjoy.
they are relinquishing part of their interpretive power by overturning Roe v Wade.
you are not wrong though, but the people who need to get their shit together now is the president and congress.
tbh a lot of the reason the case was overturned was because it was easily overturnable
having to change legislature would have made it a lot harder
but there was no legislature
that court decision was the only thing there
it was a band aid, but there is no good time to rip said band aid off
I'd say government in the form it is today is not a great thing
Especially with skin
late reply but well.. I'm pretty sure they couldn't deem it unconstitutional because of the fact that abortion not being relevant to the constitution was the very grounds with which they justified overturning Roe v. Wade
Combining representative democracy and republicanism dilutes the democratic essence of both so much that it's laughable to claim we even have a say in our nation anymore. They claim this is about states rights and yet there is no state with a pro-life majority lol
Obama's failure to codify roe with his super-majority, RBG not retiring on time despite being begged to, trump managing to win and therefore being able to pack the court... millions of women now endangered 
Yeah. This is one step closer from becoming real
Open a border abortion clinic and rake in cash 😎
I hate the way laws are written
They're written like if people who wrote them were trying to conceal what they mean
yeah, its considered "good style" to use as little punctuation as possible in laws
which is really absurd
they are
Also!
Ah thanks, yeah that makes sense then.
If you‘re interested, you could check out the laws of other countries and how they do it - again I‘m not too familiar with US law, but maybe other countries have a style you like more and could advocate for
At risk of damping enthusiasm, part of the reason the protests need to happen is that the courts have abandoned reason and exist solely as a partisan instrument. Know your rights but expect them to be ignored.
i wouldn't go as far tbh
your rights will likely be ignored but it's important to know them. at the very least everyone should know "don't say anything without a lawyer."
yeah
invoke the fifth
Also im convinced lilikoi butter/jelly is literally the real life nectar
Its very sweet and pretty overwhelming but it is delicious
yeah i can imagine it's probably pretty sweet
i always imagine nectar and ambrosia to be this incredibly overpowering thing tbh
nectar of the gods and all
We went over to this place today and tried chocolate and coffee and the lilikoi products and then walked around the farm
Really fun, would recommend
I also got the butter which i think tastes better but doesnt look as much like the game as the jelly does
Also they let me taste all the chocolate so 12/10 place
living the life!
ooh i know this one
english used to be like french: "thou" was used as an informal, singular second person pronoun and "you" was used as formal, singular second person pronoun or a plural second person pronoun
then all the meanings got merged into one word because who knows why
yes
"vous"
works as both formal singular second person pronoun and a plural second person pronoun
you differentiate between the use cases by context
So English chucked the formal second person word too
but now it sounds weird to use "you" as plural in english so how you do that is based on the dialect
yeah pretty much
nows theres a singular second person pronoun and thats it
no formal/informal distinction
but yeah now generally second person plural is "you guys" or "y'all"
there are others but theyre much more regional and antiquated since the existence of the internet
Coming to think of it, iirc German uses plural you as formal too
but capitalized for formal and conjugated differently
German conjugation 
weird af
english verb conjugations are so nice
plus english doesnt use a ton of weird ass tenses
thats the only saving grace about english as a language imo
munches popcorn in Chinese grammar
No tenses, no conjugation, everything is context
interesting
I think the most grammar-ey thing is that perfect tense impliers are slotted inside the verb
omg such grammar
i dont know english grammar very well because im a native speaker but french grammar has all sorts of exceptions to the exceptions to the exceptions
so "I'm done swimming" is "I sw finished im already"
weird
It's less awkward in practice bc most words are 2 or more characters
ah ok
yeah that's me with Chinese grammar
I don't realize certain rules until I help Chinese learners
the other famous Chinese thing is counting words, like in English a group of fish is a shoal, a group of birds is like a flock?
english legit doesnt have any rules unless you know the roots of words
Chinese has those for all singular nouns
oh wow
english grammar as not as bad as people make it out to be, it's about as bad as most other languages. it's really pronunciation that's terrible. it's just so inconsistent.
thats interesting
And which one you use is usually dependent on the thing's physical attribute
pronunciation and spelling in english is really bad
so since I spoke chinese growing up I like "just know" all of them
it helps a lot if you can look at the spelling of a word and know where it came from but thats not a common ability
also english sounds?
Yeah it's why spelling bees exist (and also "writing bee"s in China bc pronunciation rules are even more nonexistent)
dental fricatives are considered one of the hardest sounds to make in english for non native speakers and it makes sense why
like the only guide for Chinese is "take an educated guess"
is that like the "th" sound
like imagine trying to describe to someone: "you curve your tongue into a slight u shape and then put it right in between you teeth while sticking just a bit if it out but dont rest it on your teeth. you should also put your cheeks in just the right position in your mouth otherwise its completely wrong"
yeah
its legit impossible to describe how to make the sound
th is such a bad sound
and its really bad because its literally one of the most common sounds in the language
so many kids go to speech therapy for it
why does your only definite article have one of the hardest sounds to pronounce in it???
old english is really cool grammatically. because it had a really in depth case system, and because of that you could put words in whatever order you wanted, because the case ending always told what it meant in the context of the sentence.
it's very very cool, very very hard to learn. a lack of set sentence structure is pretty brutal actually. but there's some great old english texts.
I always blank out on grammar terms bc Chinese has like no grammar
You just chuck words in a reasonable order and the sentence will just work
very funny naughty riddles also
clearly you haven't been to Southern USA
hebrew also has a word for "you all"
i have to basically learn hebrew all over again in the fall 
i was learning for my bat mitzah and then i got really sick and by the time i was feeling better it was the pandemic so i really never got one and basically forgot everything i learned
it doesnt have a "th" sound though pretty much, i had to learn that one for english lol
bat mitzvah: bar mitzvah but in a cave
LMAO
i believe in you 💪
apparently in chinese 1 syllable can have several meanings depending on what tone you say it with
chrcks out
I spent like 5 years there and still blink at people implying yall is a southern USA word bc I've used that in Asia all the time
Depending on the intonation And how it's actually written
It's exploited in puns all the time
learning japanese and im glad isn't tonal
the kanji though...
Japanese doesn't have strict tonal stuff but it still shows up in conversation ish
since we were talking second person pronoun
japanese has like 7 of that. and people are reluctant to use any of them lmao
unless the relationship between speakers is already established
I know there's kimi and anata and kisama is the one that used to be super formal but got sarcastically used so much it's looped around to being rude now
returning home at 2 AM is the ultimate espionage action experience
