Levels of understanding other slavic languages

oh we also have X and it means the same!

that looks like X but misspelled

that's just the archaic variant of X

this sounds a lot like Y from another slavic language I know which means X in mine so this almost 100% also means X

this word is completely different but I can kinda tell the meaning from the morphology

what

okay right now I'm gonna have to dissect the entirety of this language's history to figure out how the FUCK did y'all get to the point of calling X that and not something more normal

I wanted to ask for X and accidentally called someone a whore

for example

(Polish: are you looking for a squirrel?, Slovak: excuse me, he is doing what to the squirrel?)

(also "hladna pića" means "cold drinks" in Croatian. means "hungry cunt" in Slovak and Czech)

("you're weird" in Czech is the same as "you're amazing" in Croatian, while "you're amazing" in Czech is the same as "you're terrible" in Croatian)

Don't forget this:

And of course pomoć (help) vs pomoč (ordering you to piss on something)

Also remembered this shop from my trip to Croatia (piko means meth in czech and slovak)

This reminds me of that time my (Czech) family went to Poland for my uncle's wedding (because my aunt - his wife - is Polish and they decided to get married in Poland).

The wedding afterparty was in full swing, everyone was drinking and partying.... and an elderly Polish lady approached my two aunts (who were also drinking a lot and partying hard) and commented something along the lines of "jesteście odporne". Which in Polish means "you're resilient" (as in they're handling the alcohol well) but in Czech it means "you're disgusting".

It took my aunts a bit to remember that it means something different in Polish. 😅

I drink two cups of coffee per day not because I have an addiction, but because my body has adapted to the presence of caffeine enough that its absence causes mild but unpleasant side effects.

I dusted the TV stand not because it was dusty but because it was covered in fine particulate matter that settled from the air.

Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” that was written in 1950 is set on the day of August 4th, 2026 (tomorrow)!! Now’s your chance to read it around the time it’s based in!

Audio: A recording of Leonard Nimoy reading it on Internet Archive.

Text: A PDF version.

Graphic Novel: On Internet Archive.

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

regionalpancake

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

Nemoy’s voice is PERFECT in this!

(A content warning if you do listen - the dog dies, though it’s not super graphic)

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

Are we calling women who read shitty harlequin romance novels porn addicts now?

If you read one paragraph of vintage victorian smut you'd hurl.

despazito

God forbid women read a lame book with sex

despazito

people have been writing fucked up erotica for hundreds of years. of all porn consumption habits to label as an addiction i think reading erotica books is like.. one of the least applicable examples and written erotica is one of the least exploitative forms of porn out there. stop pathologizing things that give you ick, you're allowed to just say you dislike something

stormsbourne

again I must stress that ten or more years ago mormon leaders put out a statement that reading romance novels was equivalent to porn addiction and both would send you to hell

you guys are not progressive you're just mormons in disguise

#have y'all ever read the pearl. i have still not recovered from some of that. and i read it like twenty years ago.#pretty sure that flea-pov story was published there #q

long story short i just had my 2nd brain doc visit and i still do not have brain meds due to the pharmacy once again fucking up my insurance, which is literally the entire reason i had to stop taking them years ago in the first place!!!!!!!!!

he said he'd "never seen anything like this" when he checked the system to see the status. and i just laughed because yeah. i tried to warn you. i'm cursed.

v8roadworrier

pharmacy a is close to my house, so it's where the prescription was sent last time. apparently they had the wrong insurance on file, so when the 1st scrip hit them they just auto-rejected it (without telling me or the office or anyone!!!!)

the doc sent a scrip to pharmacy b today, figuring they would have no problem filling it and i'll figure out my preferred pharmacy's deal in the meantime

(i did i went straight there and gave them the insurance card/confirmed my contact info/etc)

so it's been a couple hours i go to check on pharmacy b to see if the scrip is ready for pickup yet or if i'll have to wait until tomorrow

they don't have any record of any prescriptions being sent

please

please i just want meds

v8roadworrier

made sure the pharmacy has my up-to-date insurance. had the doc resend the scrip. still showing rejected/cancelled.

i don't know what the fuck to do!!!!!!!!!! i have insurance, and it includes prescription coverage! i have a diagnosis on my chart that indicates these meds! i have a prescriber willing to let me have them! what the fuck is going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

v8roadworrier

i don't know! i don't fucking know!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i set up an account with a third pharmacy, made sure they have my current up-to-date insurance beforehand, and had the doc send the scrip over.

same exact thing, not a single sign that anything was ever sent over or requested!!!!!!

i logged into the insurance website, they see my active insurance and the two visits to this doc i've made, but zero indications that any prescriptions were ordered! i called them and the agent confirmed that a) all three pharmacies are within network, b) they don't cover the brand name but they do cover the generic, and c) they can't see any denials or pending prior-auth requests

what the fuck is going on!!!!!!! it should not be this fucking hard!!!!!!!!!!!!

i literally ended up sobbing in frustration. i guess i won't have meds. what other option do i have at this point?

v8roadworrier

i sent one last desperate email saturday, after verifying my "should be fine" status on every single website & phone number i have access to. i fully expected the doc to say "sorry" and then i'd have to cancel our next appt and find somewhere else (who would probably want to start over with a re-diagnosis since it's been a couple years and in hindsight i don't think i had any formal evaluation/testing??? the doc at the time was just like "hey you seem adhd as hell to me let's try drugs" ?? idk how any of that works)

and this morning i got a text from the pharmacy - did i want to save this prescription for later or pick it up today?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have meds!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the problem was not me or the insurance or the pharmacies chosen but the doc's system, he tried a secondary portal and for whatever reason that went through successfully when none of the others had??????????? which is what i was suspicious of when the third unrelated pharmacy rejected the scrip without so much as any indication it had ever reached them in the first place

remember to bury the dead with a phone, everyone. these days the ferry terminal at the river styx wants you to download a fucking app

i found what i can only describe as "a ball of flesh" in the back yard yesterday....

the dogs were out for long enough that i was suspicious (maggie will happily stay outside for hours, tucker normally barks to come in within ten minutes), so i went to check on them. sure enough, they're intently nosing & pawing at something on the ground. i call them in and go out to check what it is

and i still don't know?????? i can identify a lot of animals by sight even after they've been roadkilled; this had clearly been at one time an animal of some sort but all distinguishing features were not there. no limbs, no head, no fur or feathers or scales- but the part that really threw me is that the limbs etc didn't seem to be nibbled away, i couldn't see any blood or wounds, they were simply not there. what was there was a more-or-less smooth ball of something fleshy. it was so weird and so disconcerting. i was tempted to grab a stick and poke at it until i'd figured it out, but doing that would upset my mom and also it was starting to rain, so i just bagged it for the trash.

my best guess is some kind of mouse or vole/mole that somehow lost its fur and maybe the wounds from missing limbs were just not noticeable, but idk!!!

Mate, you’ve got a chubby lizard on your dashboard

markscherz

Graced by Geckolepis typica from Madagascar. I love that they’re quite round creatures and then they have these dainty little toes. Also, their scales are full bone and both scale and skin come off when they get grabbed, which is…unpleasant. Consequently, catching these geckos for research without damaging them requires special techniques. 19th century researchers used bundles of cotton wool, but I imagine this wasn’t very effective, because cotton still has a lot of friction and the friction would pull the skin and scales off. In my (quite extensive) experience, the best technique is to carefully and quickly flick the geckos from their tree trunk or branch into an open dry plastic bag using a finger or stick.

Also much more reliable than touchscreen/membrane buttons, which is, incidentally, why the space industry still mostly insists on analog controls.
