- Comment on im on day 11 of waiting for my up to 10 day delivery package and its maybe getting delivered today 2 days ago:
I had a funny thing with the package tracking where I could see my package being accidentally sent to the wrong city, and having to be sent back to the original warehouse so it could make it to me :3
Anywho, having worked in delivery im pretty familiar with how this kind of stuff happens where a package seemingly stops at one spot for a while, so I try not to get mad at the workers

- Comment on Why are games priced in € (EUR) quoted the same as $ (USD)? 1 week ago:
Taxes are always included in europe, so yes… though im pretty sure even with the sales tax games in the US end up being cheaper :p

Rasa :3 they also make syrups, and water, and fruit water (which I think is what la croix is) and other stuff ^^
- Comment on Mmmm tasty 4 weeks ago:
It’s not something I’ve seen around where I live, but in some parts of europe you can also get something called orangina, which has more orange juice than fanta, and also orange pulp I think :3
- Comment on Mmmm tasty 4 weeks ago:
Honestly it’s even interesting for me to think of the sodas here as more subdued cause to me they’re all quite sweet and strong tasting lol :3 I have heard that from people who have sampled both though.
Also on the note of antifreeze… it made me think of american fanta, which is an orange see-through liquid, and apparently doesn’t even really taste of oranges (?), meanwhile here in europe it’s a more opaque orangy yellow and is made with orange juice :3. I think it’s probably the easiest to see difference between all the sodas we have in both countries
- Comment on Mmmm tasty 4 weeks ago:
I’ve not had the american mountain dew, but I heard it’s pretty different from the european one :3 the one here just tastes like citrusy soda… a bit like orange and lemon mix, if I had to place it I guess
Funny thing is we have a local soda here with the name that would translate as “dew” :3. I do prefer that one; especially the lime & cactus flavour

I saw this asked on reddit at one point and I don’t remember the exact number, but I think it was a couple of dozen times above what would kill a human

As a non-binary person I do appreciate the ability to have non-gendered words in english :3 my native language has everything as male or female which is… Ugh
Also funny thing about the spelling reform - we had one here in like… the 19th century, though it was not because our spelling had gotten vastly inconsistent or anything, the main thing that was changed was that a lot of sounds written with polish inspired digraphs (sz, cz etc.) were replaced by czech inspired š, č, ž etc… and also the letter ł which was also a polish influence was removed… which is fair, we didn’t really have a use for it. We also still have the digraph ch :3
Either way, we used to often have things like old 18th or 17th century papers in our textbooks to read, and they were still perfectly readable with the old spelling if you knew those few changes, so it wasn’t a major change, though I do think it was a good one
- Comment on No one spells "lose" anymore 5 weeks ago:
Neither word is of french origin, im pretty sure :3
Anywho, yeah I know a large part of why english spelling is the way that it is is because of things like the great vowel shift, which came after the spelling standardizations, as well as the mix of germanic, latin, and french (norman) influences all coming with their own spelling rules (as well as one off words borrowing spellings from other languages like spanish), but as someone coming from a language with pretty consistent spelling where loan words are adapted phonetically, the whole mess of having to know the origin of the word to even begin to vaguely grasp at the spelling was an adjustment lol.
I mean, the weirdest spelling related quirk in my native language is that we have letters referred to as “nasal letters” which are not in any way pronounced nasally hah :3 compared to english, it’s a walk in the park
- Comment on No one spells "lose" anymore 5 weeks ago:
I spell lose as lose :3
When I was learning english I used to confuse the spelling though, cause the word lose to me sounds like the same sound as the double o in other words :3. Though once I got used to the weird english spelling rules I fixed that problem. Now if only I could remember which way round desert and dessert are…

I used to always make minecraft skins based on how I looked :3 there’s a few of them that even had my school uniform lol
My current one is a modified version of a skin I found, but I still picked it based on various characteristics of myself

Steve I guess? Unless it’s my own minecraft skin :3 either way if we take the feats the minecraft character is capable at face value…

- Comment on How do you use the "uno reverse card"? 1 month ago:
I’ve not seen anyone play as the meme would imply, I think that entire meme basically just comes from the card being called “reverse” and nothing to do with the actual rules :p

- Comment on What games did you sleep on for too long? 2 months ago:
Undertale/deltarune. I played a demo for one of them (I forget which) and I found it too handholdy with not enough happening. Of course the games get a lot more fun after the tutorial section, but for me at the time it just felt too dragged out, so I didn’t properly play them until a few years later

You forgot to make the mona lisa crash in the last one, and need a 120gb day one patch to be “playable” (it’s not playable, it just doesn’t crash now), and also require a constant internet connection despite being single player. And needing to install some weird launcher that never works even though you bought the game on steam
Yeah :3

- Comment on I prefer mine with the bone 2 months ago:
Fun fact: in my native language the word for a pit (as in a hard central fruit seed) is directly translated as “little bone” so depending on who you ask, avocados indeed do have bones :3
