Eragon. It was absolute dogshit. I saw it when it came out because my friends and I liked the books (we were young, don’t judge), and while we were expecting trash, it was even worse. Nothing about that movie was good. Total drivel.

to be fair, hydraulic brakes with power steering dead would be a tall order to stop a fucking 3000 kg rust bucket too

I had a tiny ford focus power steering fail on a muddy, but flat road and it was pretty scary

I’m going as a cockroach

Already made the wings and antennas, only missing the extra legs but that will go quick

This reminds me of Ursula Le Guin’s “bag theory”: that the first tool humans developed, was not a weapon which is usually taught, like a spear, but rather, a bag, to carry things: for example for berries we picked. A nice reframe from the violent status quo.

Why tf do ppl care, who even has notifications on for others starting games. You message me about it, I block your ass

The solution is to only join servers with a strict 18+ policy and instant ban if anybody even implies they are underage. Even better, a strict 25+ policy

It does say Kerala though

Yeah, but I am starting to suspect I’m a bad driver

I had once gone into a ditch (spinned out on an icy road) and landed in deep snow, also no injuries. This felt similar, no sudden crash, just a dangerous loss of control. I also kinda liked my car (as much as I can like a car, that is), and it sucks that I need to get a new one now.

The woman whose car I hit said she was in a few as well, also not her fault. Bad luck indeed. I apologized profusely, and she said that she knows it was obviously not on purpose and that shit happens.

If you mean the definite form, then no, Polish doesn’t have it. Learning English as a kid was difficult because no teacher could explain it to me in an understandable way.

I’ve been learning a little Romanian lately though and it is there. Romanian is such a weird language. The vocabulary is like a mixture of five other languages, the grammar has gendered words and conjugations, yet it has a strict word order, unlike Polish that thanks to the complex grammar allows for very free reordering.

From now on I’m calling my girlfriend “my microscopic mite”

I know the exact video you reference and yeah, that was clearly not a healthy way of doing exercise. I felt bad for his friends, and while I personally work out a lot (probably also plenty of unhealthy body image, but at the same time I am finally starting to like what I see in the mirror, and I do feel very good thanks to that), I could not imagine doing what he did without burning out to a complete husk

You’re right on the money there’s already a lot of focus on “poor isolated white swedes”, nothing on the fash narratives soaking every corner of society

My favorite prefix will always be exa. Mostly because of a sci-fi book where one character called himself Exa and there were a few subtle puns with that name (like getting obliterated with a 10^18 W laser)

Ours did too!

I live in sweden and the divide on Greta is hilarious. On one hand you have reactionaries who STILL put stickers like “fuck you greta!” on their shitty cars, on the other you have lib climate activists who seem downright scared of her more based activism and talk about her “having gone too far” in hushed voices. Only ppl I’ve met that like her now are either MLs or hardcore anarchists. Imagine if she would join a marxist org

Semi-agree, the weird pauses were baffling at times, but the voice itself was very cool
