  • Hahaha I had the same experience learning Russian. It’s so hard to find simple stuff like dick and Jane, but in another language.

    Interestingly, comic books, especially those which have been translated into multiple languages (marvel, dc, etc) are almost easier. They usually have short, less-complicated sentences, and the context is pictorial. Plus it’s not boring af to read, which is ultra-helpful. Maybe that’s why people like manga and anime so much…? Idk.



  • I went to the cannabis fair,

    The cops and hippies were there,

    The guy I was with, started spouting a myth,

    But I really couldn’t care.

    He tried to tell me some junk,

    How it would give me a funk,

    But I blew it off, with a powerful scoff,

    ‘Cuz I don’t care for the bunk, the bunk, the bunk.

    (Sang to a particular recording of an intensely old song “animal fair”, in which “and what became of the monk, the monk, the monk-ey” was the end of the first verse, so this is a very very specific joke)

    Edit- Also, as I’ve been playing with it for a bit now, if someone can tell me how to format this so the line breaks carry through but the extra space line doesn’t, I’d love you forever.

    When I was a kid and would send very stuffed letters, we just left a dollar paper clipped to it, they would leave the change the next day for heavier stuff.

    When I was even younger I used to leave flowers in the mailbox for the mail person, and they got me a little flower statue for xmas and left it in the mailbox for me. That’s a memory I haven’t thought of in a long time so that was pleasant :)



  • It would take a lot longer than two months for people run out of not-yet-confiscated firearms or ammo, though (decades, probably), so effectively it doesn’t matter that much if they suddenly ban them, and I’d be thrilled with that outcome.

    I mean what difference does it make if you murder someone or murder them with a banned weapon? The result of getting caught is being totally fucked either way.
