book psa: libgen.is is still working

unlike z-library, library genesis doesn't have much in terms of poetry, but it's a very solid resource for fiction, non-fiction and scientific articles

Ill never stop blogging. I could become prime minister and youd still see me on here posting

uhhh what??

do people really love drinking that much? that they celebrate their successes by drinking whiskey (which tastes like rubbing alcohol btw)??

I had a drink last night for the first time in months, a strawberry caipirinha, and by the 3rd sip, I was kinda regretting not having ordered a strawberry soda instead.

do people really enjoy the taste of alcohol that much?

Uh. "knee" is a masculine noun in Portuguese. Idk what your coach was doing. It's "o joelho"...

i love it actually when nonnative speakers make mistakes that reveal how their native languages work.

lots of koreans online say they "eat" drinks which would assume they only have one word which covers the concept of consumption.

arabic immigrants in sweden (my mother included) have a hard time differentiating between "i think/i believe/my opinion is" which suggests that in arabic these different modalities of speaker agency is treated as one or at least interchangeable.

swedish speakers in english will use should/shall/have to/must with much higher nuance precision than native english speakers, to the point where they sound well awkward, because the distinction between these commands in swedish is much clearer than in english. i make mistakes between is/am/are and has/have constantly because swedish only has one pronoun covering all grammatical persons.

i've heard speakers of languages without gendered pronouns (finnish, the chinese dialects, and a tonne more) make he/she mistakes because it's hard(!!) to learn two or more gendered pronouns and when to use them correctly.

how neat is that?! it add a charm to international english usage in particular and make our appreciation of both our native languages and our learnt ones stronger...!!

I'm HAPPY about CLEANING for the FIRST time in my LIFE

because it's MY house!!!!!

I have to say, I am very disappointed that NOBODY gave a single fraction of a fuck about this post. wow.

When it comes to phrases and sayings, I've noticed that a good way to test their validity is to see if they also work in reverse.

"What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger" - If something isn't making you stronger, it's killing you.

"If it looks stupid but it works, it's not stupid" - If something looks smart on paper but doesn't work in practice, it's still stupid.

"Treat others as you would wish to be treated" - Don't treat yourself worse than you would treat a stranger.

"Any job worth doing is worth doing well" - if something's not worth doing, it's not worth half-assing either.

"When there's a will, there's a way" - If you truly do not want to do something, it will be impossible no matter how easy it should be.
