They/Them A chaos bean bat/bunny. I do art sometimes
You say you became an atheist recently, so I guess I’ll ask the obvious question: what has changed in your life/thinking to lead to you becoming an atheist, and additionally do you think being an atheist has further changed your mindset in regards to certain aspects of life that before would’ve been dictated by religion?
I think we should translate all the fast food place names to the local language :3 this will help nobody or serve any purpose
Im terrible with names and with dates, but I usually remember some random details no one else does… so it’ll be like “remember that one time we were here and you said so and so, and blah blah” and they’re like “no? When was this?” and I shrug and take my best guess, because it was either a month ago or 10 years ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As a non-binary person I do appreciate the ability to have non-gendered words in english :3 my native language has everything as male or female which is… Ugh
Also funny thing about the spelling reform - we had one here in like… the 19th century, though it was not because our spelling had gotten vastly inconsistent or anything, the main thing that was changed was that a lot of sounds written with polish inspired digraphs (sz, cz etc.) were replaced by czech inspired š, č, ž etc… and also the letter ł which was also a polish influence was removed… which is fair, we didn’t really have a use for it. We also still have the digraph ch :3
Either way, we used to often have things like old 18th or 17th century papers in our textbooks to read, and they were still perfectly readable with the old spelling if you knew those few changes, so it wasn’t a major change, though I do think it was a good one
Neither word is of french origin, im pretty sure :3
Anywho, yeah I know a large part of why english spelling is the way that it is is because of things like the great vowel shift, which came after the spelling standardizations, as well as the mix of germanic, latin, and french (norman) influences all coming with their own spelling rules (as well as one off words borrowing spellings from other languages like spanish), but as someone coming from a language with pretty consistent spelling where loan words are adapted phonetically, the whole mess of having to know the origin of the word to even begin to vaguely grasp at the spelling was an adjustment lol.
I mean, the weirdest spelling related quirk in my native language is that we have letters referred to as “nasal letters” which are not in any way pronounced nasally hah :3 compared to english, it’s a walk in the park
I spell lose as lose :3
When I was learning english I used to confuse the spelling though, cause the word lose to me sounds like the same sound as the double o in other words :3. Though once I got used to the weird english spelling rules I fixed that problem. Now if only I could remember which way round desert and dessert are…
Celebrating someone’s birthday today :3 got cake and fizzy drinks
We? Can’t relate :3
I got pasta :3. And cake. The cake is made from biscuits which is cool ^^
Ah, but now I want to know about your spouse’s malware! Haha :3
I lucked out in that my fiance finds me going off on 8 detours cute :3
But yeah, sometimes I go on such a side tangent, I end up talking about something for 6 hours and forget what the original point I was making was lol
But they need the context of the other 19 stories! Also some of them touch on niche things I find interesting that I now can’t get out of my head so I have to tell them about it
I mean, I think my PC is at around the middle of the bell curve, and I can’t say modern AAA games feel particularly optimized for it, lol
But also AAA sucks these days so, im not too fussed about it anyway :p
That path tracing ray tracing stuff never did anything for me tbh. I will say high fps is nice tho :3
I used to always make minecraft skins based on how I looked :3 there’s a few of them that even had my school uniform lol
My current one is a modified version of a skin I found, but I still picked it based on various characteristics of myself
Steve I guess? Unless it’s my own minecraft skin :3 either way if we take the feats the minecraft character is capable at face value…

Ah yes, the evil easter egg™ hunt, I’ll need to remember that lol
If I fail the host is gonna have some very interesting material
Some places seem to have a cleaning fee as part of the total, but the one we booked doesn’t… there also doesn’t seem to be complaints about cleaning fees in the reviews, so we’ll see I guess :3
I’d say it depends on the restaurant tbh :3 some I think sound nicer in my native language, but some are airing really close to unfortunate naming
