Co-official and non-official languages of the Spanish state.

I was, what? WTF is that little island of Basque language in Segovia??

And I was today years old when I learnt about gacería or briquero, a language spoken by ~500 people as a first language, and ~5000 passive speakers (they can understand it but can't speak it).

Gacería was born around the 12th-13th centuries among cattle merchants as a code language for their businesses, and though it follows the Spanish pronunciation and grammar, it has influences of literally everyone in the Iberian peninsula at that time: - Old Spanish - French - Arabic - Caló (Iberian Roma people's language) - Galician and Basque, due to Galician and Navarrese people leaving their homelands to repopulate the area after the Reconquista.

Some examples of Basque words in gacería: artón = arto = bread gazo = gaizto = bad motillón = mutil, motel = young man muy = mihi = tongue ura = ura = water urdaya = urdaia = pork, meat

I just watched Sharper, and can I just say??? HOLY FUCK??? It was so fucking good???? I know Seb talked it up over and over in the press stuff, but wow. Just. Wow. It both was and wasn't what I thought it would be, in so many ways. Pretty much every ten minutes was a new plot twist that jackknifed back on the one before it until basically the plot was a tangled bowl of spaghetti that still somehow made sense. And if you followed that analogy, you'll follow the movie perfectly. God, it was so good. One of my all-time favorite con movies, hands down. It's right up there with Knives Out, ngl.

Yeah your actual ideas were scary and confusing so they started writing a script for you to protect their assumptions it's amazing and it's all right there in black and white oh my god what a pair of morons.

The way I see it, how you treat the Russian invasion of Ukraine is how you would have treated Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland.

"Just some concessions, I promise the Nazis will keep their word."

"Hi--" She took another breath, giggling. "My name's Niffty. You look like a bad boy. I like bad boys~" Whoever he was-- whatever he was, he was going to be hers. He had to be! She was ideal spouse material. She could keep him safe now that she had the power that came with being an Overlord.

Her murder of Adam certainly upped her 'street cred' by demonic standards. x

For a few moments, all Rick did was staring at the creature who had chosen to attach themselves to him. He was mildly impressed by her choice, especially considering that he had just ripped the organs out of one of her kind.

She had to be a demon too, he was fairly sure of it. Not only she fitted the general aesthetic of that Hell dimension, but it was rare to find other beings who were capable of interdimensional travel.

The scientist cocked his head on one side. What a curious little thing she was. He wouldn't have minded studying her behavioural patterns.

"H-Hello, Niffty. I'm Rick," he eventually spoke up, slightly puzzled by the tone she had used.

Did he classify as a "bad boy"? The moniker his other selves had picked for him, Evil Rick, seemed to suggest that he did. And, from a socially biased point of view, so did his actions.

"I-If merciless murder, torture and unethical experiments fit in your definition of 'bad boy', t-then I supposed I am one," he muses, with the same flat tone he always used. "I-Is there something you need from me?"

Okay, just finished ep3 of Exandria Unlimited... and it just made me tear up. Not because there was anything too emotional or nostalgia for anything (being a new enjoyer), but everyone was just so good, Aabria was so damn good, the players were flowing and toying with the story tools. It just made me cry to be falling for yet another cr story.
