✨new introduction :3
pacific rim fucks severely for a lot of reasons but my favorite is that it opens with "the lizard aliens are unionizing so we built robots running on the power of love to fight them you got all that right" and before you have time to really process that concept bam gunshot body on the floor and the movie goes "now consider the vast power of grief in this setup" it never really stops considering

Die Schnitzeljagd ist ein beliebtes Kinderspiel, bei dem Kinder spielerisch leicht auf die Therapieplatzsuche vorbereitet werden.
you ask a student in april how they're doing and they'll say "oh i'm fine" but in reality they are treating themselves in such a way that violates the geneva convention on treatment of prisoners
why are dudes in fanfic always getting hit with freight train orgasms. why not an orient express orgasm, classy and romantic. where are the shinkansen train orgasms? his orgasm hit him like the TGV atlantique breaking the passenger rail speed record. like the shanghai maglev, his orgasm was a feat of engineering but something of a commercial disappointment.
Don’t tell me delayed orgasms aren’t a thing

learning a lot about how to get railed today
It sounds like the Deutsche Bahn is on ssris.

STOP SHOWING ME VIDEOS LIKE THIS OR I'LL GO ON ANOTHER RANT ABOUT WHY LANGUAGE DIFFICULTY CLASSIFICATIONS ARE ANGLOCENTRIC AND FRANKLY OFTEN RACIST BULLSHIT
Okay I'm going to rant a little. no one asked. but I'm going to.
This may be petty but using flags for languages is already problematic at best but mixing words and flags is just confusing. why is Arabic written? Is it because it's officially spoken in multiple countries? So are Mandarin and Korean. Be consistent.
What is your source? What are you basing this on? Why is Mandarin on 1 but other Sinitic languages aren't in the Top 10? What makes Hungarian more difficult than Finnish by two places despite being in the same language family? What exactly makes Polish more difficult than other Slavic languages?
Out of thousands of languages spoken on all continents (except Antarctica I guess) why are the Top 10 European, Asian and then one Native American language? Why is it conveniently languages that an English speaker vaguely interested in language learning would have heard about? Couldn't one of the Top 10 hardest to learn languages be Igala or Coast Tsimshian or Motu (examples randomly chosen)?
Have you ever noticed how these lists are always anglocentric as hell? Most specify "for English speakers" and are at least open about it but I've also seen people just say "hardest to learn" and it's like what if you already speak one of these languages lol
Have you also ever noticed that a lot of the languages popping up on these lists (which vary from source to source) are languages frequently spoken by immigrant populations in anglophone countries? And native English speakers expect them to learn perfect English... Wouldn't you think that if Arabic or Chinese or whatever they put on the list next time is one of the hardest languages for English speakers to learn that it goes both ways? But they're expected to learn it either for immigration reasons or anyway because it's the lingua franca. But if an English speaker (or anyone speaking another widely spoken European language) learns it they're some amazing genius who bravely mastered the world's most difficult language (which is also where my distaste for that one YouTuber comes in, you know the one).
This also absolutely ignores personal preferences in language learning. The languages on the "easiest" to learn lists are commonly Germanic and some Romance languages because of similarities in grammar and vocabulary to English but those similarities can absolutely trip you up. Good luck memorizing all the words and structures that are different and falling for false friends. Maybe you hate conjugation and would rather learn a language that doesn't deal with that. Maybe you have a secret talent for a different writing system. Maybe you really vibe with cases and they're no problem for you. Maybe you have a lot of passion and motivation for a language very different from English and zero interest in one of the "easy" ones and learning one of those would be an absolute chore for you.
TLDR stop with the "hardest" and "easiest" to learn stuff, appreciate anyone who ever learned a second language, learn whatever you vibe with
It's so crazy how "Don't feed the trolls" was like the Motto of the internet & in forum culture of the 00s and early 10s and now you log onto a certain website and it's just an endless sea of people pouring gruel into the troll trough day in day out and no one seems to realize or care that their internet experience being a constant deluge of misery and bad faith discussion might in fact be their own fault
Every protein bar is called something like "double chocolate indulgence caramel cookie dough delight crunch" and tastes like clay and sawdust
As an aroace person I actually never had that feeling of being broken. I thought everyone was the same way and some people were just dramatic 😭
