I knew I wasn’t going to have to link this.

“‘Wales’…? Really, sir?”

“Oh, yes. Don’t you think?”

“What, the vast terra incognito with fauna and flora hitherto undreamt of by sights puts you in mind nothing so much as… Rhyl…?”

“No, of course not. Not North Wales. That’s ridiculous, it’s nothing like North Wales.”

Also they named Turku just Åbo.

Åbo.

Swedish “å” is an entire word meaning;

a river, a creek, a big stream

“Bo”

bo n

**a dwelling** (of an animal), especially a bird's nest

    fågelbo

        bird’s nest

    att bygga bo

        to build a nest / to nest ("build nest" – idiomatic phrasing)

(poetic, extended from sense 1) **a home**

sätta bo

    settle down

So it’s a three letter word basically saying river-dwelling

I think rather than ask Finns what a place was named they just named them themselves. Perhaps because they were tired of the locals calling everything shit and piss. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That would actually be pretty amazing for a beach holiday.

the whole world knows this language

That would be super dangerous.

It’s prolly more accurate to say “reality obeys this language”

I feel like the execution is going to be on this level:

No, they don’t convey the sense of danger, I agree.

But “light-emitter” would be worse than “it radiates death/evil”, imho

Lots of “stops” everywhere and and skulls in red triangles, yeah, that should be somewhat clear toa lot of people. But not everyone

They have “ray of frost”. They can understand “radiation”. Not necessarily what is radiating but the word itself is old.

radiation(n.)

mid-15c., radiacion, “act or process of emitting light,” from Latin radiationem (nominative radiatio) “a shining, radiation,” noun of action from past-participle stem of radiare “to beam, shine, gleam; make beaming,” from radius “beam of light; spoke of a wheel” (see radius).

Tldr “radiate” is like 1500’s whereas “emitter” is a fairly modern word, from the 1880’s.

Time for a rewatch of Chernobyl.

Now I’m imagining all dragons just home-aloneing it deep inside a mountain.

I read that and then imagined it was a lecture by some sort of an insect, likely an ant-type, wearing a monocle and a top hat.

Imagine having that smart-arse teenager be that annoying for like, a few decades.

Or just… the emotionality that comes with hormones. Although one would imagine since elves do end up being more wise and whatnot, that they sort of start gathering more wisdom even though it’s slower to start with. As in, they’d be horny like a teenager for a decade or two, but they’d learn to somewhat manage it after the first five years.

I have like a huge pile of letters from some twat lawyers sending threatening letters about copyright.

The sad thing is most people I asked say “I would pay”. This was like more than 10 years ago when I first got some of them.

The Pirate Party in Finland tried informing people of them being just threats, but Finns are really complicit people and afraid of breaking any rules, so I’m sure these twat lawyers made thousand, tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands. With Finland’s tiny 5m population.

Basically what happens is some company in Germany which owns the rights to some B-class show or just a porn film even, then they upload it to an open torrent site. Wait for people to download it (remember the didn’t give permission to download it), look at the IP’s, then send the respective country in EU a request for the ISP to get that IP owner’s information and then hire a local lawyer to send them a threatening letter; “you’ve illegally downloaded a porn movie, pay us 800€ or we’ll take you to court and you’ll have to pay tens of thousands.”

And if that goes to someone married or someone who downloaded fetish porn or something, they’ll be even more likely to pay.

I never replied or did jack shit. Nothing has happened.

edit I can’t get the line formattin right but you get the gist

Well, I guess, but… you could argue that Zionists are mostly seen to be purely Jewish due to the nature of the movement.

You’re entirely right.

But see if the political view is only held by members or a certain religious group (even if not all members of said religion accept said political thought), it’s easy to conflate it, so that you can ban anyone opposing said political thought based on “they’re discriminating against me because of my religion”.

Fuck twitch.

Well, why is he floating in a barrel?

It should be “I’m not a squire, not yet a knight”, as it’s, “I’m not a girl, not yet a woman”, going from the smaller to the bigger.

I imagine he worked something like this

any normal person would consider this steam. This isn’t a chemistry or physics class.

Just because you didn’t pay attention in physics in basic education doesn’t mean no-one did.

When is the last time you heard someone refer to someone’s vape productions as “steam” in real life? “Goddamn vapers steaming all over”?

Vapour and steam are different, because you don’t need 100c for water vapour. Ever heard of clouds? Mist? Fog? None of those are steam, none of those are 100 degrees Celsius, but they are all water vapour.

That’s what vaporisers produce.
