but think about this, the names of christian denominations are fucking absurd. "eastern orthodoxy" and "oriental orthodoxy" are the same name. but also, doesn't orthodox church think of itself as catholic or don't catholics think their dogmas are orthodox? also protestants. girls, against whom still protesting?

The key to it is, the only denominations that matter are the ones that came before you (evil people using God for personal gain who don't understand the bible) and you (objective correct interpretation of the Bible). Any denomination that come after you are little crybabies who can't appreciate the truth.

For example, to Roman Catholics there are two denominations: Catholics (the cool OGs who Jesus loves) and Protestents (little crybabies who keep splitting into more sects that no one fucking cares about)

It's so funny to me when people post about how "the horrors" is their favourite Tumblr Phrase™ that tumblr came up with. they don't know that that was one of father of Irish republicanism Theobald Wolfe Tone's favourite ways to describe his general situation from 1795 - 1798

RIP Theobald Wolfe Tone you would have loved being a tumblrina

love writing. writing is awesome. it’s a shame that it involves writing though

santa clarita diet is so fucking criminally underrated. not only is plot a Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant killing nazis rapists and misogynists so drew Barrymore can eat them, plot b is about their daughter becoming an ecoterrorist. like. you can't beat this

there's a weird chunk of post war azula fics where she's chained like an animal and have to pay for the war acts of fire nation by herself and i guess being a fire lord and stopping the war washed all sins on zuko's hands and iroh gets to roam the earth kingdom freely and basically putting all those responsibilities on a sixteen year old boy who doesn't know how to run a country

20-30 years of not only active military participation but leadership sieging the EK: Washed away by a last minute turn around

3 months(?) And like one mission in the earth kingdom: eternal torture

Apologies to @sleepycrowhours for stealing the tags but i want to make a point about learning irish (and I think it applies to language learning as a whole) Duolingo (especially the app, the website is better to be fair but not by much) shouldn't be your primary, or even secondary resource for language learning, it should be a supplement, like flash cards because that's basically what duolingo (Esp. the app) is. It's electronic flash cards, it's nice for vocabulary but horrible for learning grammar, it's yes or no, right or wrong, and language is more fluid than that.

In colloquial speak, if you get it more or less right, the speaker will probably get it, (especially with something as minor as séimhiú and urú which is the english equivalent to switching his/her/their, while duolingo will tell you a sentence is a complete bust if you replace gcat with chait with cat which contexually, speakers will fix themselves and probably won't even mention it to you. Not to mention language is fluid, speakers won't talk like a text book, they'll use conjunctions and phrases you dont know, they'll invent words on the fly.

You should always be learning from books, movies (Yu Ming is ainm dom or cáca milis for irish aimed at young children, an cailín ciúin for more general cinema), poetry (géibheann, an gnáthrud, etc.), music (Teir abhaile riú, oró sé do bheatha 'bhaile, an dreolín, etc.), tv (all of TG4, they have spongebob), RTE player is available for free online.

Buying an irish enlish dictionary, using focloir and teanglann, and reading grammar books will help, writing irish helps too because it makes you look up words you dont know. I had no idea how to use the subjunctive and imperative before, now i do.

All of the info i wrote about séimhiú's and urú's can be found with google, and all of my words of the day are on focloir and teanglann.

tl;dr, using only duolingo is going to give you more robotic speak that even textbook, your vocab will be kind of weird and hyper-specific (kinda like how only learning in a classroom only teaches you to speak about yourself and your family and nothing else). Read irish, write irish, live irish. Remember, you weren't taught your native tongue formally, 80% of what you learn comes from just picking up and talking to people, family, friends, teachers, and maybe 20% was taught in the first few years of school (and a lot of that is written/spelling anyway not actually communicating)

You can watch a lot of Irish TV for free! Aifric is a personal favourite, Ros na Rún, Saor Ella have similar structures, TG4 has 29 pahes full of Irish Language TV from kids cartoons to dramas to.

Ros na Rún alone has 416 episodes available to stream right now!!!!
