See...I'm conflicted about this. Because every language has nuances that other languages don't - words which are very good at describing an emotion or thought.

The Russians have words that describe love differently than English. The Chinese have words that express sadness better than English does. But English feels very precise, and serves the purpose of expressing a very specific thought without verbosity. Granted, verbosity is what we're good at, very often without good reason, but I feel the extra words help hone in on the precise idea.

But then again, I circle back to Russian, where I can express a feeling or vibe that English words cannot hone in on in the same amount of words.

Its....weird...

What's the Russian expression for "Language is weird." And does it translate the idea in as few words? Genuine question, I'm still studying.

I'm curious, was death a direct correlation between chip insertion and time of death? Or is it like Covid reporting, where if someone dies that happens to have the virus, it's deemed a covid death?

If a monkey dies as a result of environmental factors, stress, diet, etc, do they still count it as death brought on by chip insertion?

I think the general idea ppl refer to when they say millionaire is $1m/year, which is certainly not a low bar - rather than just a total savings of $1m. This can either be $250k/yr for 4 yrs, or $100k/yr for 10 yrs, or $50k/yr for 20 years. These are all very decent amounts until the 50k/yr. That wage for 20 years is indeed abysmal, at least in most first world countries.

This is really weird to read. Here in America there is a huge interest in Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand...As major retirement/tourist/vacation destinations. Myself included, I've always wanted to "vacation" there and perhaps live there indefinitely.

But it seems no matter where you go, life can still suck.

A 12 foot fall likely wouldn't phase an animal that spends half it's life mid-air swinging from trees hundreds of feet taller, and that has enough bone density and strength in its legs and arms to tear a human apart.

Homie is fine, the way he fell was just comical as hell lol

I moved from GA to MA and I miss seeing houses like these in scenic areas like this back in GA. Houses like this were always so warm and inviting inside. Something I didn't realize I took for granted until seeing this pic. Now all I see is old antique homes from the 1800s surrounded by factories, stoves in the basement for central heat lol.

Sorry, Unrelated, just hit my childhood in the feels.

There's footage on youtube of a woman climbing down from an attic to steal shit from a guy's fridge every night after he'd gone to sleep. She'd creep down real silent like, frail as hell, and just drink his shit. Then snake her way back up the countertops and into the ceiling. Dude was wondering why his stuff kept moving or depleting faster than usual and set up a cam in the kitchen.

It wasn't scary to watch, kind of funny actually, but just the idea of someone hiding in your house is unsettling as fuck.
