"Měli byste zkusit mluvu polskou v praxi." - all of that words can have completely different meaning used alone, but that sentence translate as "You should try to actively speak polish."
"Ne pepři vepře pepřem, Petře, protože bez pepře vepř je lepší." - aaand that's tongue twister we have in czech language too! Translate to: "Do not use peper to the pig, master Peter, beause the pig is better without it."
I don't speak polish. But yeah, I understand wizzard gibberish.
Also, have you guys ever tried to learn vietnamies from native language that DOES NOT differ between words by different tone pitch? Much fun.

………..I like to torment myself.
So! I’m back to my usual fuckery, trying to make hand made figures instead of buying them like a normal human being. This time I’m making First Aid! Out of some action toy and plastic sheets because apparently rebuilding Gundams wasn’t hard enough
My starter pack is some white and red styrene sheets + the figure I bought off the shelf. I think these are called “Dummy 13”? Anyway
Drift figure left me with a lot of little cuts. Now I have cuts aaand burns. Nice deal~ I’ve never done anything like it before and my hands aren’t happy lmao
This thing is. Like. Super movable:D It’s neck has two joints, also it’s torso can bend in a bunch of places and ways. Even the tippy toes are movable hehe
Basically. I couldn’t paint anything bc. Well. Winter. So I decided to build out of details that are already the right color👍
It will probably need some painting anyway but not the dramatic amount and not enough to poison me
#maccadam#transformers#First aid#tf first aid#I’m….I’m at it again#working with styrene turned out to be pretty easy#but oh my god does it challenge my ability to construct imaginary 3d models#because I of course refuse to plan anything like a sane person would#and keep just constructing things in my mind#I have a#how do you call this thing in English#this 📏#googled.#ruler.#I have a ruler but I only use it to cut things in straight lines#because measuring is the way of the weak apparently#or dumb#mtmte

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.
one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.
i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.
the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.
my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.
i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.
#writeblr#i was doing a lot with high school students. over and over again#other teachers kept asking me what i was doing differently - why the kids listened to me. i am not particularly foreboding#and i have a pretty firm personal policy of never reacting in anger#godhelpme.#i was always kind of taken aback#because in general the kids were pretty easy. i explained i needed to keep everything “PG-13” because this was my workplace#and it was kind of their workplace#too. besides#i love swearing#and since i couldn't swear#neither could they - so if they were going to say “fuck” or become violent#they needed to choose a really specific time#because we only get “the one”.. sure enough - nobody wanted to waste the one very specific “fuck” utterance. kids listened.#i think just because - that rule makes sense. the kids understand that i don't want to be unfair to them#that censorship is stupid#but that i'm under these rules too so like let's ride it out together#also i look young and tbh between me and u nobody wants to make the nice english teacher cry#the way these kids defended me to their friends was really genuinely so heartwarming bc the Grouchy Frat Boy#would be like MISS RAQUEL DOESN'T DESERVE THAT KIND OF AN ATTITUDE BRO DON'T TALK BACK TO HER

this has almost certainly been done before, but i think it's funny so i did it anyway
original:
#dirkjake#dirk strider#jake english#homestuck#my art#i drew this right on top of the meme in an effort to make this quick and easy. which was a complete failure#i spent way too long on this and still failed at anatomy lmao#oh well#anyway. dirkjake#thought about making it jake's ass in the last panel but i decided i didnt wanna try to draw ass lol#also it would've been much harder to convey the inherent dumbass boyfriend energy that was the whole point of this#if jake's smug little face wasn't visible#he is expertly restraining giggles#I also had to rotate dirk in the last panel bc the original angle was just not working no matter how many times I tried to fix it#unfortunately anatomy hates me#bg image is from hs p4221

I've been seeing a lot of AEW fans who aren't sure how to watch the upcoming Wrestle Dynasty show, so here's a brief explanation!
Wrestle Kingdom, Wrestle Dynasty, and NJPW's big "mystery card" show New Year Dash are all included with a NJPW World subscription at no additional charge! All you have to do to watch them is subscribe to NJPW World.
A 30-day NJPW World subscription is $9.99 USD. The subscription will allow you to watch shows as they're streaming live, and watch them in the archive after they've aired. It also gives you access to the rest of the videos in the archive.
You can subscribe whenever you want - you'll get 30 days of membership starting when you subscribe. Just be aware that the subscription renews on Japan-time, so if you only want a month, cancel a day early to make sure the time zone difference doesn't get you.
All three shows will have live English language commentary. To change the commentary language on any match, click the gear button on the bottom left corner of the video and select English audio.
The app should default to English. The website is also available in English - If it doesn't default to English for you, just click the button on the upper right corner to switch it to English.
You can subscribe in the app, but I don't know if the app stores add any additional fees, so I'd suggest subscribing on their website to be safe.
Shows taking place in Japan will of course happen on Japan-time, which tends to be late night or early morning in the US.
Wrestle Dynasty is scheduled early to accommodate American viewers - it starts at 1 PM Japan-time, which is 11 pm EST / 8 pm PST. If you want to watch the livestream, I suggest hitting play about 5 minutes before the show is actually scheduled to begin - sometimes the service gets overwhelmed right as big shows start and everyone starts watching all at once.
The other shows air at more standard times in Japan, which means later at night from the US, so if you want to watch them live from the US you'll have to wake up early or stay up late. But you can also just watch the archived shows later.
Wrestle Kingdom is New Japan's biggest show of the year, and absolutely worth watching. It will air on 1/4, the day before Wrestle Dynasty. Each year of NJPW is structured like a season of a TV show, and Wrestle Kingdom is the climax of the different stories from the previous year. You can think of it as the "season finale" for NJPW's 2024 season.
New Year Dash is New Japan's annual "surprise card" show. It will be on 1/6 this year. New Year Dash functions as the first episode of a "new season" of NJPW, by introducing new storylines for the new year. There are always some big surprising events, and it's likely that at least some wrestlers from AEW will show up for it this year.
#aew#wrestle dynasty#wrestle kingdom#Don't be too intimidated to give NJPW a try#It's an incredibly easy promotion for English language fans to follow

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing "he or she" somewhere, English you have a commonly used, grammatically correct gender neutral pronoun. Fucking use it.
#they is so easy#you have no idea how easy it is to be gender neutral in english#in polish everything has a 'gender' and its so easy to misgender someone#I misgender myself on a daily basis#but in English you have to go out of your way#so I hate that people still do it
