what if instead of german it was germ man

i know every order is weird when i get a perfect fresh arrangement order (designer’s choice, good price, i could walk to deliver it) and i immediately get suspicious

is the one you keep coming back to the filler or is everyone else?

yes i know language changes and if i know what you mean it doesn’t really matter but say the right word dammit!! native english speaker phonetic mistakes will be the death of me

i should start each post with “dear diary” shouldn’t i

when people ask me whether i’ve watched death note i always say “yeah” even though i stopped watching it after the episode where (spoilers) L dies, and light winning just seemed like an appropriate ending to me. i’ve been told how it actually ends but i can’t be arsed to remember, and i internally glorify it as one of the only stories i can think of where the bad guy wins.

once in 4th grade i completely forgot how to spell “of” and spent an entire day stressing over the fact that “ove” didn’t look right

online roleplaying communities that mandate a minimum length of each text action bother me to no end. i understand that it’s troublesome and can be enabling of low-effort posts to leave message length to the roleplayer’s discretion, but the best roleplayer i know will oftentimes cough out a 2-sentence action of pure art, and that’s because he doesn’t feel the inclination to pack his messages with meaningless filler, dialogue, and narration.

sometimes i’m sitting in the car and my visual perspective changes, so it looks like i’m sitting in a dome with two pillars instead of a metal box with three windows. it’s really freaky

leslie nielsen is a treasure in the world of comedy film. i don’t believe there’s a single person in this universe more capable of realistically playing, no, actually becoming the part he plays. no one will ever be able to surpass his poker face of absolute ass-backwards ridiculousness.

i find bad etymology amusing - for example, while walking a dog yesterday i came to the realization that “doff” (as in taking off armor, commonly-thought to be the opposite of don) is actually the combination of the prefix “de-” and the middle-low german word for farmstead (hof). The armor works as a farmstead for the body, holding and protecting it as an actual farmstead houses and protects its livestock. The armor protects its livestock, the body (both a living animal and as a knight, lambs for the slaughter in war), and so de-hof shortens to doff.
