Year 11 iGCSE student who's interested in tech, music, linguistics, mythology, literature, crochet, art and Taylor Swift. I usually post whatever catches my interest, plus tons of boosts. Also vents from time to time. Learning French for school. I tend to max out character limits and end up threading. Don't say I didn't warn you.

I wax poetic a lot.

Bro this show on Netflix, The Trust: a Game of Greed, really picked (mostly) the wrong women.

Like ok girl you guys celebrate being girls and are against misogyny but uh... there's a difference between misogyny and you being an a-hole, being randomly picked last because someone had other thoughts in their head (not just you) and being pissed off about it to the point you hold a grudge.

Rn I'm just so frickin annoyed at these players migosh. Chill you guys.

And I wanna side with you girls but damn I would NEVER hang out with the likes of you. Total red flags.

Okay... random thought processes once again but -

TIL many things about language

  1. colère means 'anger' in French
  2. sortie means 'exit' in French
  3. I have no idea what a 'reseignement' is even after google-translating it
  4. 'todo' means 'to the max' in Tagalog, but seems to be used as 'all' in Spanish 'todos', much like French 'tout/tous'
  5. Despite my French lessons and Tagalog knowledge of certain Spanish words, I cannot understand Spanish at all

Bonus: Tagalog is based off Malay, but a lot of the vocabulary is Spanish spelt in an American-ish way, and many speakers use Taglish because straight Tagalog leads to very deep Shakespeare-like words.

Tagalog is one hell of a language. I'm guessing the structure is similar to Malay, but I can't understand Malay at all. Spanish makes 0 sense to me but I can tell you pick out random words with 0 context nor sense.

I always like to compare it to English. Did you know English is a Germanic language? The most common English words are Germanic, but we probably can't understand Germanic because only the structure is Germanic - other words might come from Greek, Old French or Latin. Ig it helps us pick out random words from a romance language like French but not understand the structure.

Oh and yes I just swallowed this from some Insta account but I love this fun fact.

IIRC, Germanic is like languages like Swedish and the like. Google it. Not bothered rn.

@jikodesu okay, maybe a waaay older language before Spanish colonialisation? From which both languages stemmed from?

I kinda hope to get an account on the waitlist of alpha.polymaths.social, but polyglot.city seems nice enough. I am in no way either a polymath nor a polyglot (well unless you count Filipino and English and class-smart French) but they seem best suited to my interests.

Hey I like FOSS and what it stands for, but I'm not super into it soooo. I searched up 'linguistics' and saw polyglot.city and it looked cool enough.

@writeblankspace@fosstodon.org avatar

@HisFavBrunie what u mean 'for once' 😭

writeblankspace,
@writeblankspace@fosstodon.org avatar

@HisFavBrunie naahh I would disagree

at the very VERY least you still have white genes and some people would kill for that lol

writeblankspace,
@writeblankspace@fosstodon.org avatar

@HisFavBrunie nah ur pretty

but I was just saying if you weren't pretty there are still tons of people who would still be very jealous

and oh sorry for assuming lol

@HisFavBrunie oooh

@writeblankspace@fosstodon.org avatar

Heeey #Masto folk! Wondering if you guys can recommend me a good instance I can move to (must support Mastodon and run in Mastodon clients, but doesn't have to be Mastodon).

I find that fosstodon doesn't exactly suit my needs anymore, and I'm also thinking of moving to a much much smaller instance, especially:

  • with generally techy people
  • for many interests, eg linguistics crochet etc
  • has rules similar to fosstodon's
  • good moderation and fediblocking choices

@jerry ooh, might check that out

out of curiosity though, are there any differences between this and infosec.exchange, which I hear about more often?

writeblankspace, (edited ) to random
@writeblankspace@fosstodon.org avatar

Hypothesis: queers make up roughly or more than 50% of the active people on Fedi.

Boost for science!

I think everyone sees the exact same end results, just different comments, boosts and faves
