  • One memory that kept popping up occasionally over the years is of my mother lending my neighbor my favorite matchbox car. By the time I'd gotten to him, he'd crushed it. I don't think he meant anything by it, and I don't have bad feelings to either one of them, I just know how much that sucked. I do remember that nobody gave a shit, and I never got it replaced.

    Late last year I decided I was gonna get it back, so I've spent a few hours spread over some months when I was bored at my pc looking at matchbox size red Dodge Vipers from the 90s. Most had the wrong color, or extra decals, or the wrong wheels, etc. Eventually I found it, ordered a copy, and it got delivered about a month ago. I don't play with it, but it sits on my desk at home as a sort of fidgeting toy.

    I'm sure it says some bad shit about my psyche but to me it's a nice reminder of a time when I was much happier. Maybe I should get some beyblades.

  • While learning Danish I figured out that's just the arcane incantation for the number. It's language juju, and you just have to know that it be like it do. Yes, it's syv og halvfems, but the reason behind it doesn't matter anymore. The rest of the double digit numbers are a mess as well; 30 is tredive (three tens in old norse) but starting with 50 it's this weird score (20) and half-to-score system.

  • This is an off the cuff example. Yes you can rephrase to get around this. It's just an example.

    The chair and the table don't go together because it's made of wood.

    The chair and the table don't go together because it's made(female version) of wood.

    Since you 'know' tables get female articles and such, you know the speaker is talking about the table and not the chair. This is how Romanian works.

    Yes, I am aware that singular chairs are male and plural chairs are female in Romanian which wouldn't clarify anything if the sentence was "The chairs and the tables don't go together because they're made(female version) of wood."

  • 3.6, not great, not terrible. Bum knee, carpal tunnel, stressed out. But Dune 2 in a couple weeks, vacay 2 weeks after that, and another vacay in a few months that I'm looking forward to.

  • The only time I read books I don't like is when I dislike them so much that I want to be able bitch about em on the internet without someone telling me my opinion is invalid because I didn't finish em.

    Other than that, I just drop 'em.

  • Same here except there's no hr meeting, and I'm just forcing myself to do the things that used to make me happy in my free time instead of screaming into a pillow and drinking enough booze to dissolve me into the next lifetime
