Please Satan bring me a German tutor.
I’ve tried the Goethe A1 Deutsch app, Anki, actual German grammar primers. Self-directed learning is one of my weaknesses. Ive taken many other steps towards finding work there but learning the language has me stymied.
Thank You for inspiring my most wholesome application of user tagging!
Elementallis has the same art style as well. Just came out, also incorporates some Golden Sun-like elemental puzzle solving. Havent played it but keeping my eye on it.
My first weekend on Vyvanse I spent 6 hours organizing my (digital) music library. Does that count?
Pelagic by Covet
Absolutely recommend, very chill instrumental math rock.
I am a metalhead and you will pry “Out of the hall, normie” from my cold, dead hands.
The period-accurate rifle+bayonet combos is a cool touch!
Does that price include the Pepsi cans?
Lorna Shore and APC next to Peter Gabriel and Santigold; respect mixed with concern.
This weekend was heavy in the Black Metal.
White Ward (False Light) and Labyrinthus Stellarum (Vortex of the Worlds) are both excellent Ukrainian BM bands.
Wolves in the Throne Room (Black Cascade), Wayfarer (American Gothic) and Vukari (Divinations) for some American BM representation.
Austria’s Summoning (Minas Morgul) to top it all off. Their music contributed heavily to the invention of Dungeon Synth as a genre. They’re also an exemplar of (if not the progenitors of) “Black Metal fans are all Tolkien nerds.”
Shoutout to Caladan Brood (Caladan Brood) for their Summoning worship and introducing me to a story worthy of naming a band after; Steven Erikson’s Malazan Book of the Fallen.
Is it “ICE detainment camps” or “American concentration camps”?
The Repair Shop is SUPER cool. BBC Production with highly skilled individuals repairing and restoring a wide variety of objects in various states of disrepair. There are plenty of emotional moments but they’re all relatively genuine. Its hard to fake/manufacture sentimentality rooted in decades of memories.
Hell yeah
You’re absolutely correct! Roasting your turkey at 11242217175 Cm/s will have you drooling in just 0.000000000000001764889392582815 seconds per meter of turkey! That’s a savings of 2.855703037924800e17%!
I’m doing no such thing. You have misunderstood me; I am not denying the differences in culture or worship between the two.
The extent of my knowledge of Orthodox Christianity is Byzantine empire involvement in the schism and Batushka’s usage of their liturgical chanting within the context of a black metal album sounds cool as fuck.
I am glad to hear the modern iteration of the relevant sect is largely supporting Ukraine. i support Ukraine as well.
I am simply facetiously taking a religion as seriously as religions traditionally take themselves.
Ever hear of autofellatio?
A. You’ve taken this far too seriously
B. No
I was raised in a region that leaned heavily into it’s German heritage. Americanized and bastardized yes, but for example my tiny high school only offered Spanish and German for foreign languages. I looked into citizenry by ancestry and found I didnt qualify because my most recent ‘German’ ancestor emigrated from Prussia in the mid-1800s. Said ancestor is buried in the cemetery of the village church I attended for kindergarten. Of course, none of that provides me any familiarity with modern Germany. I have a slight advantage with pronunciation and not much else.
I investigated Sweden first actually, and I’d be happy to end up there. I think Scandinavia fits my political and societal opinions better than Germany (plus has WAY better metal 🤘). I have a BSc in engineering and was looking into Master’s programs; University of Göthenburg has the faculty and research I’d like to pursue. The language barrier there was considerably more intimidating despite the reputation for accommodation you mentioned. Germany also has better resources for skilled foreigners looking for work.
I want out of the States. Wherever I end up I intend to pursue fluency and integration. Germany just seemed like the simplest route to me other than joining Ukraine’s foreign legion as an engineer.
