OP: Check out. The fully-sexual charged cinematic movement design.

Cnetizens: How did the director come up with the idea to have him kneel on a playing card, adding so much aesthetic energy, is that some kind of genius?

it's always crazy to me when some fics or some people try to paint sejanus' struggles as if it's because he's new money in the elite, and not because his situation is a very clear reference to the rise of violence and hatred against immigrants around the time when tbosas got published

but that's just me

Embarrassing: this Canadian's car slid into the curb 20 meters from his apartment and he promptly turned around and went home.

it is 1:30 am on a sunday night/monday morning . you are woken up by a train wagon’s incredibly loud maintenance, so loud that it is literally making your apartment shake . this is the reality of living by the railway tracks

Words can not describe how much I hate it when people randomly set off fireworks in my neighbourhood without any reason. There are two dogs in my house, and every time, even a single one is set off, I have to spend an hour per dog to calm them down. Do people think that dog owners don't have enough to worry about during the firework show driven holidays?

Like actually the concept of approaching a stranger when they're sitting happily alone with headphones on and then after you awkwardly try to talk to them and ask what they're up to and if they'd like to get coffee they tell you that not only are they sick and also having a very bad week whilst mostly avoiding eye contact and being very unreceptive to any further conversation and instead of saying Oh that's too bad, I hope your week gets better and then leaving it at that, you still continue to try to hit on them and get their number and when they don't give it to you, you walk off with a dirty look on your head like ?????????? Are you a fucking idiot?

I dunno why everyone says they hate grooming and hand stripping dogs. I find it so soothing. I would probably go for hours if Arthur didn't let me know he was done with it.

the culture shock when you learn a word in english first (or it's more common in english) and then start using it in your own language is entirely different.

for example. i recently started renting an apartment to live on my own. i told my mother a few days back that i live in a suburb. there is such a word in portuguese (subúrbio. soo-boo-r-bee-oo. with either spanish, carioca or american r, depends on the town). i was thinking like the american suburbs - or just a general suburb, that is, a part of the city where well off families live and where it's usually calm and pleasant (although there are no american style suburbs in brazil and i live near a commercial centre in a building). but she was briefly shocked when i said i live in a suburb, blurted back "suburb?!?!?", and when i confirmed she let it go probably because she understood i didn't mean what she had, well, understood.

but that got me thinking and i knew just from her reaction that suburb in brazil is something else and probably linked to poverty. i had had no contact with the portuguese version of the word before save for maybe dubbed hollywood films. so everything i had to derive meaning from was my mom's reaction to me saying the word.

then i googled it and the actual meaning was the most brazilian thing possible. so suburb was used in contrast to the city centre, where wealthy families usually live. since brazil is famously one of the most unequal countries in wealth distribution on earth, parts of the city that are not the city centre could only mean one thing - where poor people live. because you have rich people in brazil and then poor people. so if you're not rich... you're poor. hence suburbs are poor neighbourhoods.

i don't think that's true anymore. we've become a middle income country in the last decades with considerable progress (that has stalled nonetheless). i don't think i live in the city centre, i live near enough, but not in it. but i also don't live in a poor neighbourhood. the only word left is suburb. a well off neighbourhood that's not the city centre or immediately next to it.

but this was an interesting one. a word with different meanings in english and portuguese whose portuguese meaning is loaded with vital context about brazil. it obviously couldn't be any different and I'm surprised that i failed to intuit that on my own.
