yeah but there's also a higher than average chance that the bard is into it so, might backfire
hi hello it's me, part of the horde, a polish person has been mentioned so we need to do the ritual:
POLSKA MOUNTAIN RAAAAA 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🦅🔥
(also folks, don't forget to include her Polish surname there as well! It's Maria Skłodowska-Curie. when she was alive Poland wasn't recognised as a nation, it wasn't even on the maps for most of her life, so her choice to keep her polish name after marriage is a deliberate action to honour her Polish heritage and keep the national spirit of Poland strong despite there being no official country Poles could call home at the time)
as the old programmer joke goes:
a programmer walks into a bar, he asks for:
-> 2 beers please
-> 9999 beers please
-> -5 beers please
-> π beers please
satisfied with the results he leaves and invites the first normal user. The normal user goes up to the barman and asks:
"sorry where is the bathroom?"
the bar explodes
nah even in Europe being trans friendly makes you at least left leaning
we're not many miles ahead in the societal run towards progress and acceptance, the US is just sprinting the wrong way
hi, i'd like to unread your post please
"apple" used to be a generic term for fruit. So it's actually "fruit of the earth", the French are poetic like that
quick rant
i'm so tired of over the top "intellectual" vocabulary in academia. a lot of concepts could be explained with simple words and would get the point across just as well, or better, and additionally make the conversation more accessible to those outside of a specific field. Why do you need to use big smart words to explain simple things? Is it because it tickles your ego when people need 10 minutes to comprehend one sentence? argh
Bilbo was 111, and Frodo was 33 during the birthday party when Bilbo left the Shire.
Only 17 years later, when he's 50, does Frodo go off on the Quest to destroy the ring.
I'm making my way through the books right now and I haven't seen the films in ages, but if I recall correctly it's much less clear in those that there was a time skip. Which yea if I were adapting a book I'd also skip the bit where JRRT says "and then nothing of importance happened for 17 years, apart from the fact Gandalf was travelling to do research about the ring and kinda went missing recently".
i know you're joking but fuck, sometimes it do be like that.
Obviously nobody should infantalise people suffering from depression by telling them to "just be happy", "go outside" etc. but if you're malnourished, have vitamin deficiencies, don't go out to hang out with the human tribe, and sit in your home the entire day without moving - you're going to feel like shite. Fixing those problems won't cure clinical depression, but the other way round is true too - getting meds for depression won't cure you of feeling like shit if you don't use the chance they give you to try to improve your life yourself.
lack of a conclusion makes it more likely to be true. Fiction usually has a conclusion, life usually doesn't
this is exactly the sort of thing you imagine in the shower to feel good about yourself
cages are expensive and bards are artists (read: broke) the bard absolutely likes it in there
