i need to get off tumblr i’m at the aquarium admiring the fish and my brain goes “posts that make you want to get in the water” what are you talking about. these are live fish in the room with you. what post.

The fun thing with finnish is that the most common way of saying "this is none of your business" can also be interpreted as "this is not within the reach of your hearing", as in 'you are too far away from this to hear anything', so if someone's airing out their dirty laundry LOUDLY while also being IN PUBLIC, if you butt in to the conversation and they tell you to mind your own business, you can be pedantic and go "actually I can hear y'all just fine. If it's none of my business then lower your damn voices."

Ooooooooo I've always thought "ei kuulu sulle" is like. "doesn't belong to you" this information does not belong to you, I've never realised literally also... literally "this is not within the reach of your hearing" that's literally also true. incredible

Yeah, it's the former, it's meant to be understood as "this [business] doesn't belong to you" so essentially exactly the same as "none of your business". The latter interpretation is essentially a Fingerpori-level wordplay that's just dumb enough to piss someone off, which is a good tool to have in hand if you were already planning to have a fight to begin with.

think I've been mildly cursed by a witch

for years now my laptop charger has reliably broken every 6 months. admittedly i keep replacing it with the cheapest possible generics, but I've tried differed brands and ALWAYS, 6 months in Death knocks impatiently at my door, its skeletal hand outstretched demanding yet another goddamn power cable. the only feasible explanation is i pissed off a witch. the alternative is that i'm the problem, which seems unikely

the witch is called enshittification

excellent so is this like a rumpelstiltskin situation or
