Harry Potter and the Chitter of Chatting

[Lelouch]

O.O is it not normal to skip watching prons everyday..? coz I'm kind of keeping mine like smoking a cigarette..

Part of me thinks I should stop looking at porn since one particularly irritating side effect of it is to remind me how lonely I am. Another part of me says fuck that.

I'm reading about language extinction on Wikipedia. I used to think there were somewhat more important factors than the existence of languages, because I consider mutual intelligibility to be fairly important. On the other hand, the extinction of languages would leave works written in those language completely incomprehensible for posterity. According to Wikipedia, linguists estimate that as many as 90% of the approximately 7,000 languages currently spoken in the world will have become extinct by 2050. Worse still is when you consider the absurdly authoritarian methods that are often used to drive languages out of existence. Languages often reflect completely different ways of thinking about the world; even languages derived from one another often diverge significantly. For instance, the word Geist in German can loosely be translated as spirit, but represents a lot more than that. Works rendered in translation lose a lot of their original meaning, simply because words between languages do not keep the same meaning. Words in one language often have different meanings from even their cognates in other languages.

I don't really know where I'm going with this. I'm tired. Probably heading off to bed.

Aaron's post reminds me of that South Park episode where dudes from the future come to present-day to live a better life because in the future society is completely fucked up and assimilated into one blob of culture and language


There was a whole heap of insightful social commentary and then ofc being South Park the creators like to throw in stupid sex jokes and stuff about being homosexual so that they can show that they're not serious about the whole thing. =/

uuughhh, I am so not a morning person.

Back in high school I used to get into a fight with my mom when she used to try to wake me up. It pissed me off so much. I was always like, "I HAVE A DAMN ALARM. THANK YOU FOR WAKING ME UP 5 MINUTES BEFORE IT GOES OFF. RAWR!"

 

[Tenyoku]

Wow, i wish i lived outside town. I have noisy and uncivil neighbours in the block of flats i live in. I don't love or hate mornings, they're ok for me...

I just learned that you can subdue a cow by sticking your fingers up its nose.

Which is good to know. If I ever come across a cow.

I have seen a cow up close once (well there were a bunch of cows). There was a fence in between otherwise I wouldn't have gone up to them I didn't get to pet them though cause they made me nervous.

My uncle, a cattle farmer, got trampled by a cow once. Ended up with a broken leg and multiple broken ribs. I think I'd rather have the snotty fingers, plzkthx.

 

[Super Mario]

I've raised chickens, dogs, cats, cows and a pony. No joke~ My grandma owns a farm back home~

 

[Tifabelle]

I was around chickens once my entire life with my cousins. Couple days later we got the chicken pox. True story.

I was convinced for a very long time I got it from the chickens.

I'm still a little suspicious

From a comment thread on Lawyers, Guns & Money:

A unionized public employee, a member of the Tea Party and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the tea partier and says, “Look out for that union guy, he wants a piece of your cookie”.

Though to be closer to reality there would need to be 100 cookies and the CEO would take 99.

I have seen a cow up close once (well there were a bunch of cows). There was a fence in between otherwise I wouldn't have gone up to them I didn't get to pet them though cause they made me nervous.

My parents used to take me out to the countryside in lieu of spending a lot of money on me when I was a kid.

I frolicked in the fields with the sheep and the geese and the cows.

But never once thought of sticking my finger in their noses.

 

[Ⓐaron]

lol my cousins had a farm and owned horses in Illinois so when I went to visit we'd hang out and play with the animals.

But those damn chickens were evil.

Incidentally, this reminds me of THE CHICKEN THAT WAS NOT A CHICKEN from Sword of Truth. What a terrible series.

My face after being able to translate a little passage from a Latin textbook:

Then remembering I have a bunch of Spanish exams in about 2 months:

That's not even enough time to go through this Spanish in 3 Months book I've had sitting around for a lot longer than 3 months.

 

[I Am Not Me]

I post here.
