Walter White and Gurdurr have opposite character arcs
while copying every photo file on this computer to a USB (im doing one folder at a time for my sanity), i noticed that this graph makes a sinusoidal wave. interesting!
maybe it's because this pc uses a HDD (a literal disc) for storage, so it has to rotate to get to the photos, and circles and sine waves are intrinsically connected?
pretty neat if it's true, but i have my doubts
(Native Spanish speaker, Also learned Greek for 13 years)
In Spanish, "person" is "persona". It ends in -a, so it's feminine. This has nothing to do with the gender of the person in question. Every person is a persona. You don't call men "*persono", because that's not a word.
In Greek, boy (αγόρι) and girl (κορίτσι) are neuter because they end in -ι.
Keys don't change gender if I change language (las llaves (feminine), τα κλειδιά (neuter), the keys (N/A)), the only thing that changes is the word(s) used to refer to them.
saying grammatical gender is about the object itself and not just its word is like saying there's something different between the actions "πάω" and "πηγαίνω" JUST because they're in different verb genders (-άω vs -ω), despite the fact they're literally the same thing. They both mean "I go". No nuanced little differences between the two, they are literally the same.
The word for chair in Spanish (silla) is feminine because it just happened to go into that category. Nothing about the chair itself is feminine.
After all, it's Grammatical gender. Grammar applies to words, not objects.

ok in greek class i had to write a letter (with a weirdly specific prompt of "your friend failed a test and their depressed. they wont answer their phone. make them happy.")
so i wrote:
"Θα πάω στο σπίτι σου και δεν μπορείς να με σταματήσεις. ... Αν η πόρτα σου είναι κλειστή, θα την κλέψω."
"I will go to your house and you can't stop me. ... if your door is closed* i will steal it."
*i meant to say locked, but that's κλειδωμένη, not κλειστή. oops.
honestly i was just really mad that i was the only person in my class who's forced to do this kinda work every day while everyone else gets fill-in-the-blanks, so i decided to just take the piss at it.
the second letter i had to write in class had a prompt of "your came home from vacation and your door was open. write a letter to the police station about what was stolen."
when i saw "stolen", i immediately knew what I had to do.
and so, i wrote that my door was stolen.
why am i writing this
turns out sonic heroes's anniversary is on my birthday, so that's neat the game is dogshit (please remake it, sega) but i decided to translate the main theme into toki pona
2/4 of these blond guys are goku. guess who
so i just 14 seconds ago learned the blonde dude in dragonball is not, in fact, a unique character
I need a rustic map of the PMD world, and the easier way to go about this would just be to slap a bunch of different filters and/or overlays on an existing map to make it look like parchment.
...or I could spend 4 hours re-drawing it and throwing in extraneous details. HM.
Google translator has a maximum of 5000 characters, but character with only one sound like "t" count as much as characters with multiple sounds like "ツ". So what is the longest thing I can make the google transalor text-to-speech say?
probably the string consisting of exactly 4997 9's in a row followed by "兆光年". that's pretty long
uhhh there's a (1) kirby and the forgotten land spoiler, but this is barely KatFL related at all
