#planning on deleting this app

Another thing y’all are collectively forgetting: how hot Oj Haywood is. Yeah Angel is our babygirl pathetic little man crust who canonically mines cryptocurrency and we love him for that but Oj is badass to the point where it’s extremely attractive. Like we have cowboy horse daddy right here and y’all are literally ignoring it. Blessings and peace.

anyway im probably gonna hold off on the job search until i finish my thesis. firstable priorities (duh) and secondable... its not exactly helpful to engage in the single most depressing activity known to humankind when i really need to be in a mindset of inspiration not desperation

sorry if you’ve already posted something like this but with the shitty news about duolingo I was wondering if you knew of any other resources for studying Brazilian Portuguese? thank you!

i know of a few options! first thing, if you want a pretty close replacement for duolingo, i downloaded busuu from some posts recommending it today and it's pretty similar but better structured imo, and there seems to be some social features that allow you to communicate with native speakers, which is pretty neat!

otherwise, there are various programs out there that i haven't myself used-- i know babbel exists, but i think it involves paying for most of the services. this video from languagejones covers some good things to do alongside duolingo, so you could seek those out as well. and there's various ways of doing directed self-study without an app or anything, which takes a lot of dedication to keep yourself accountable but if you're able to do so that's a really solid options-- you want to probably find some resources to help you know how to progress and maintain an amount of structure.

on that point, for more traditional resources, @/salvadorbonaparte has a megafolder of languages resources with some great stuff for portuguese, including a textbook on learning portuguese as a spanish speaker that's written in english (incredibly helpful for a few of us on here lmao) as well as a few other textbooks and guides (folder from this post), and i'm sure there are plenty of ways to find other textbooks and guides for free in various places. if you're in college or anything like that, taking a class is also a good option if you can, especially if your school has a good portuguese program.

personally i'm planning to use busuu for the time being alongside poking through textbooks above and my usual watching/listening/reading cultural stuff, which seems to be working pretty well. i think the daily prompting aspect is what's most important for me personally, and because busuu has that that'll be most helpful for me as a replacement. hope that helps!

happy new year, my loves 💖 I'm doing my little new year's ritual of cleaning everything, cleaning some bad energy in the house, and journalling. Hope you all had a good new year's eve!

good evening lesbians reporting from grindr again. so one thing about this app is i think ghosting probably feels less personal than other platforms bc the dms come at such a rate that it is genuinely hard to keep track of them all and u have to be like extra extra selective. which is kind of nice and also kind of crazy

[janiedean]

will get to all your lovely replies asap but for now let me get down the mood with my usual

fuck but i really do hate this month and everything it represents or better the fact that each single year it gets just more miserable

It's just so riotously funny that this rumour about Daniel Ricciardo having two races to prove himself was started by the NZ Herald of all publications.

For starters, the Aotearoa NZ media in general has zero in-depth understanding of how F1 works at all. We don't send journalists to races from any of our outlets. We only care about F1 because there's a chance a kiwi might have a permanent seat in the near future and is like... probably gonna be pretty good if he does. It's highly unlikely that any journalist here has contacts within the paddock beyond Lawson and his family.

Like to understand exactly how much this country does not care about F1 from a media perspective, they didn't even talk about it when Brendon Hartley was driving. Probably would have been different if he was doing well, but he wasn't. Motorsport news in general doesn't even have its own section on the sports page of our most well known news site, despite Supercars being pretty big in this part of the world.

Every time I read an article about F1, or see a short segment on TV (which will always mention Liam Lawson in some way, I am not kidding, they will find a way to work him in there), it's almost always laughable the lack of in depth understanding the reporter has on the matters, particularly the intra and inter-team politics, the impact of money and sponsorship, and even just basic stuff like strategy being a major part of the outcome of a race. Or how a driver can have value beyond their race result.

Then, you have the Herald specifically, which absolutely loves a clickbait article to drive traffic. In fairness, this is very much a product of the state of our media at the moment, which is currently undergoing an absolute gutting. Personally, I find the Herald to be riddled with minor factual errors, constant and egregious spelling and grammatical mistakes, and spin. Keep in mind that this is in the context of the NZ media, which is generally considered very factual and accurate on a global scale. They're not like... the Daily Mail, they're a reputable outlet that isn't tabloid journalism, but they're not exactly afraid of wild speculation when it suits.

So yeah. I saw someone post a screenshot of the article, and had to hold in my laughter.

love going on the “hi yeah I haven’t even looked at my inbox/messages for months sorry sorry sorry it’s nothing personal my life’s just been in shambles and I’m starting to pick it back up even though I know I’m gonna drop all the pieces at least 3 more times before the year’s over” shame tour I’mma make t-shirts later for it

*turns on computer and uses the cable to connect the device to the computer*

You plug APP into the computer, and then press the button to turn it on. The green light next to the power flickers on.

“Oh, you found the charger! That’s good!”

Next to them, the computer’s screen lights up…
