I don’t feel like I’m having fun here…

Yeah but you try saying ‘ununderstandable’ after a couple of drinks
How about carpet beetles and clothes moths?
charlytune@mander.xyzto World News@lemmy.ml•A 'Christian' family moved to Russia to escape 'LGBTQ, trans,' but now they're 'ready' to 'get out'51·1 year agoFrom my time lurking in r/AskARussian I remember quite a lot of these types, convinced that Russia was a paradise of freedom and conservatism, and that moving there would be a piece of cake. What’s horrible about this couple is that they’ve quite possibly fucked up their children’s lives, especially once they get to military age.

I once used prestidigitation to create a fart near some goblins to distract them when we unexpectedly walked into a room full of them. They started arguing and fighting about who did it and we ran away.

Short story is I’m probably fucked. But I’m legit getting a bad feeling about where we are heading.
I see Orion as a jaunty little disco dancer in this. Arms up in the air, legs apart, hip stick out to one side.
charlytune@mander.xyzto Map Enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz•Second most taught foreign language in European secondary schools14·1 year agoI think people are missing that this is the 2nd most taught foreign language, not the 2nd most taught language. So there’s the native language, then the most taught foreign language, and then the 2nd most taught foreign language. I’d imagine for quite a few countries that English is the most taught foreign language, particularly ones that heavily rely on tourism.
Edit: just noticed it even says that in the text on the right.
I probably didn’t have as good an education as the highest educated classes in most ancient Egyptian dynasties.
charlytune@mander.xyzto Technology@beehaw.org•Spotify made £56m profit, but has decided not to pay smaller artists like me. We need you to make some noise | Damon Krukowski4·2 years agoI use Bandcamp instead of Spotify now, because that’s what most of my musician friends use to sell their music and recommend as the best way of supporting artists directly, and some of my favourite current artists are active on there. Yeah I can’t just stream and make playlists of whatever I want, and it’s more for new music than older stuff, but I can scroll through and play the suggested tracks which are far more interesting and diverse than anything Spotify would suggest to me, and then I can buy the stuff I really like. I’m slowly building up enough stuff that way to have an interesting collection on my phone to listen to, and it’s also introduced me to some really cool music that I wouldn’t have heard about from Spotify.

(See body for part 2)English4·2 years agoMy late partner studied English as an undergrad and when he applied for his MA his email said “Please find attached my application for the MA in Creative Writning” and it makes me sad he’s no longer around for me to relentlessly mock him about it.

Yours works for you, great, other people have different needs though.
I trod on a slug recently while wearing socks. The slime didn’t come out in the wash. Bleeuuurrgghhhh.
