2022-01-21 at 7:13 PM UTC in Tiocfaidh ár láThe funniest one I’ve heard is about a murderous fairy violinist whom would put everyone to sleep with its music then set fire to the place.

I’m a bit obsessed with them but wouldn’t know about fairies from other cultures. It’s childish but a nice escape. Apparently, they were the original settlers in Ireland, from the river Danube, they had supernatural powers and when they came to Ireland they had to fight the fomorians, a mutated people from the sea. Structures like Stonehenge were already there when they arrived and they thought these were portals to the otherworld, where they ended up having to go after losing the battle with the fomorians. -

Originally posted by Sophie Dutch, German, English, pretty good at Latin and from Latin the romance languages open up so i can read Italian, French is a little funky, but i'm alright at Spanish. I'm also learning Old Norse, which is hard af, because the original Old Norse alphabet is Elder Futhark, but you write it when you want to communicate in Icelandic characters. Speaking of which Icelandic is very similar to Old Norse so it makes sense. But meh…
I got too many hobbies.
That’s a lot. Why did you choose Latin? I’m trying to learn German because I’d like to move there. It’s nice starting to think differently and putting on accents. -

Originally posted by Sophie My native language is Dutch, so Gaelic is very foreign to me. Even though i am naturally talented when it comes to language. I speak a couple of them, although when it comes to Gaelic that might be an impediment. Or it would just seem that way because i have never made a serious effort to learn it. It'd be cool to know though.
Which languages do you speak? -
2022-01-21 at 4:55 PM UTC in Tiocfaidh ár láRn the second language in Ireland is Polish.

Originally posted by Sophie I've heard it before by another Irish band of which i have forgotten the name unfortunately.
Anyway, i think it's pretty cool The Irish kept their own language.
It’s dying tbh, even in Gaeltacht areas they speak English and there’s different types of it being taught in schools so parents can’t understand their children. I used to be near fluent but have forgotten most of it since I’ve had no one to talk with in it. -

Originally posted by Bradley I don't, they keep a bitch in they place and uphold a 1500 year religion that advocates expansion.
Can't hate that if that's what their book "TaLkiNg oN dA pHonE wIt AlLaH" says.
It's our fault for not making another crusade or at the very least putting up a front. Trump tried it, makes me wonder why it didn't go through.
This is why I blocked you. -
2022-01-21 at 7:22 AM UTC in What do normal people do all day??I think I need to make some change tbh because my daily planner has every hour and I don’t like seeing that I’ve been doing some of the same things for years and it’s boring. I used to go to ballet irl but don’t feel up for it anymore. I’m thinking I’ll go to the library more often or build a garden shed/coffee shop so I have somewhere to go at night.

2022-01-21 at 6:52 AM UTC in What do normal people do all day??I have either indoor days or outdoor days I can’t do both. An indoor day would be remote learning, spamming people on discord, a quick walk to the shop for food/monster, house chores, ballet with ENB at home, 7-10pm watch a movie with someone online/talk with people, bedtime listen to an audiobook or hypnotherapy.
During lockdown a normal day would be going for a hike or to the beach, studying, reading, picnic in the back garden in the evenings and some creative stuff like making my own jigsaw puzzles. You can just print off pictures and glue them to cardboard like that from a cereal box. -

2022-01-20 at 11:09 PM UTC in $Phhsics metamaterials bob lazar 9holes black starbitarsI’ve been wondering what it means that music can move us, if we are just kinetic energy vibrating/moving. I’m confused about what an observer is and what all depends on it.

2022-01-20 at 6:34 PM UTC in Create a superheroI think mine would be someone who could be in two places at once.
I used to have these dreams I was an enchanter and could go to these parallel worlds through underground tunnels. A witch was after my soul/codes and I ended up selling it to her, she said I would be alive but no longer an enchanter. Sometimes I like to think it was real and this is just one of the parallel worlds. -

Originally posted by Solstice Nah, I honestly don't get much sleep-related fatigue, mine has always been caused by depression. When I'm depressed enough I can sleep like 12+ hours in a day and end up feeling like I only got a few hours.
Kafka, have you ever tried krattom? It's really cheap, and helps a lot of people with energy and fatigue problems. Definitely not everyone's thing, but it works well for me.
No but I’ll look it up thanks. -

Originally posted by Tyrant I don't get it.
Duck was watching from the edge of the room, with Kingfisher who was idly writing in a notebook with a bored expression upon her face.
Which part? She said without moving her eyes or attention.
Tunas being mammals. I don't follow. Of course they're not.
Of course, she said. She began to doodle on the bottom right corner of her notebook. But you kind of just say that don't you?
Again, I don't follow. Duck leaned back in his seat. I know what a mammal is. I know what a Tuna is. I know the two are not the same.
Have you thought that you might just be strongly convinced of it?
Well the best we can ever do is be very convinced that something is true, yeah? Duck scratched his chin. But I'm very, very convinced that a mammal is one type of thing and a Tuna, a fish, is another.
Right. She had begun to sketch a small image of a sort of peaked domed shape. What would it take for you to be convinced otherwise?
Something would have to be very wrong with our knowledge of tune, I suppose. He scooted his chair away, then angled it towards her.
Let's say it's not: Tuna work the way we think they do. She had begun to repeat the shape beside itself at a slightly offset angle. What would it take for you to be convinced that a Tuna and a mammal might be the same thing in some way?
I don't know, he said with a resigned tone. I don't even know if that's possible but clearly… He gestured vaguely at the room and then laughed.
Read the transcript, said Kingfisher. The shapes had been repeated into a circle, forming the petals of a flower.
I was there for the debriefing, I heard it all, Duck said.
Read the transcript. She had begun to draw the top of the shape between the gaps of the first layer. Think about it a couple times, read it all.
And what am I supposed to find at the end? What's the revelation? Duck looked away as he began losing interest in the fruitless conversation.
Kingfisher had filled in more petals. She gave the flower a winding stem and leaves.
Well, Duck… She began to shade it with parallel lines, implying a light from below. You know when people sometimes say "you had to be there"?
Yeah? He checked his wristwatch and began to gather up his briefcase.
Well you were there. She put down her pen and closed her notebook. The gun wasn't discharged and Tuna aren't mammals. Right?
Yeah, he said glancing back at her as he stood up to leave. The gun not being discharged, Tuna being mammals… he was convinced not to destroy the Germinal. I get that part. But a Tuna being a mammal…
How have you experienced the opposite in your life, generally? She said, with her elbow on the back of her chair. You know, a Tuna not being a mammal.
I don't generally experience Tuna very much in my life, he said and then with a smile: they don't really taste like a mammal.
What does "a mammal" taste like? She asked.
Like chicken, he chuckled.
It’s good. What are you writing about what genre is it?
