Two boys talked on the playground about who was stronger: a kitten or a puppy. "For the sake of fairness, let's say they're both the size of a pea," one boy said. "Agreed," said the other boy. "It's only fair."
god i never told you guys but a couple weeks ago at work i heard a guy say, and i closely paraphrase, "So I was out with my partner--republicans hate it when i say that. My heterosexual partner Jessica--" and i was straight up crying before he finished his sentence. fully diegetic convergent linguistic evolution live in the workplace
It really depends on what language you're learning, but I personally for learning Japanese use actual physical books to learn grammar and all that jazz, and I use an anki deck (the wanikani deck) for learning kanji/vocab. Anki is a flashcard program, it's very popular for learning languages, and most common languages have multiple decks available to download. It's kind of annoying to get set up bc the standard settings are wacky, but once you get that done you won't have to look at it ever again. If you need any help just shoot me a message!
Also physical books are awesome bc you can annotate on the page and that really helps me, but you can also find pdfs and online lesson plans for most books fairly easily.
Been wanting to learn a new language for a while now . I know Duolingo is trash since they fired most of their staff and replaced them with shitty AI and it seems like that's most language apps nowadays. Does anybody know of one that doesn't use AI, or if not an app then an online course?
I love how this scene parallels and contrast Maomao's being furious for the first time when she slapped Lady Lihua's maid ?
It is an introduction to a new side of both of them in the exact same way. The big similarity is that both them are righteously angry at a maid doing something to someone else that is bad for theirs well-beingn physical or mental whether due to ignorance and/or denial (Maomao with Lihua's maid) or just straight up maliciousness (Jinshi with Lishu's maid).
The big difference is that Maomao just straight up go for the slap and is so much more physical than him, she drags her by her hair aand is physically intimadating while also being a teeny tiny 17/18 years old, while Jinshi who is physically tall and intimidating just his height isn't physically agressive in his anger at all and doesn't really drops the mask at all. It's an anger that is bit more...cold I guess ? He doesn't even raise his voice.
And the reason for that difference is the way they are raised and the amount of power they have but both of them are very effective in theirs own way. And they are definitely complementary with each other too.
internet politics and real-world politics have gotten so separated, and pretty soon all this internet weirdness is gonna come crashing into real life and politicians are gonna start throwing around words like “SJW” and “anime communist” and “dark enlightenment” and it’s just gonna be the most ridiculous fucking thing
alright so Pangur got her claw stuck while rolling over in bed, and then just GAVE UP, which led to her being horizontally flattened in a way that gives her impossible girth and...... I'll share, but just know that it's an optical illusion. please. I swear to god she's a healthy weight. I mean, a little chubby, but not like this.
using a big pot to cook a fuckton of food is awesome until you need to wash the pot and then its the worst thing ever

maomao: let's get this bitch drunk
When it comes to the Roseate Spoonbill, bald is beautiful! Though little teaspoons start out life with a hood of soft pale feathers over their face, they will slowly shed these feathers once they reach sexual maturity at around three years old.
Here’s a progression of spoonbills from hatchling to a mature adult so you can see what growing up looks like when you’re a roseate spoonbill
