hello hello!! welcome to my blog :D ive used this place for over three years and nowadays i just reblog stuff — but still feel absolutely free to drop by :3 not much to say besides i reblog pretty much whatever i like here, but if you ever need something tagged please do not hesitate to ask :D!!
my other blog is @callizinc . i hope you like your stay :]
Technically all you have to do to learn a language is drill flash cards and watch tv but the problem is the amount of flash cards and tv and what they don’t tell you is that your brain will protest the entire time
If you already watch tv in your target language constantly this will be easier for you. Just start doing flash cards instead of candy crush, turn off the English subtitles, and fight through the headaches. But I wanna keep watching stuff in English is my problem. All my favorite stuff is in English :(
Btw if you were looking for a low effort but incredibly time consuming way to learn a language, that’s the whole thing. Download Anki, put together some vocab lists, and switch the language to Italian on Netflix. You won’t understand what’s going on at first but that’s also what babies go through and the advantage you have over babies is the flash cards. Have fun.
Stage? Like section you get to later? No, my friend. With this method, that’s the whole thing. Tv and flash cards from day one. Piece grammar together in your head with your subconscious synapse firing like the baby.
You need to pursue this method with the dedication and fanaticism of a 17 year old weeb who wears cat ears to school.
For everyone mourning the death of mindsnacks you should try Drops. Even the free version has a lot in it and I find it fun at least.
as someone who studies many languages and has tried many different ways to do so and helps other people do so as well, this is one of the stupidest sounding but most efficient ways to do it
genuinely obsessed with the grimace milkshake meme I hope it's got the McDonald's marketing team locked in a board room biting their nails desperately trying to figure out if this is positive press or not
how could they possibly have predicted this
Sound on if you guys wanna know what a little King Vulture sounds like 👀
creachur… 🥺
btw if anyone wants to know what she looks like now. she’s one :)
whats the difference between a viper and python ?
Important question, thank you for asking! Those are two of the major snake families; I know you only asked about two, but I'll discuss the big ones!
Pythons are a family of non-venomous constrictors. They're primitive snakes, meaning they have less stretchy skulls than modern families and they still have the vestigial remnants of a pelvic girdle. Pythons all have heat pits (except for the two members of the genus Aspidites) and those pits are set into the scales on their lips. Ball pythons, Burmese pythons, and rock pythons are all examples of snakes in the python family!
Boas are also non-venomous, primitive constrictors, and are closely related to pythons. They're distinguished, though, by having a couple fewer bones in their skulls and less teeth. When they have heat pits, they're between the scales instead of in them, and they're generally ovoviviparous and give live birth instead of laying eggs. Boa constrictors, anacondas, and rainbow boas are examples of this family!
Vipers are modern, venomous snakes. They have fewer bones in their skulls and less teeth than boas and pythons, and they lack vestigial pelvic girdles. Vipers tend to have primarily hemotoxic venom, and they're often heavy-bodied. When they have heat pits, they're located on their cheeks. Their fangs are hinged and swing out. Rattlesnakes, tree vipers, sand vipers, and copperheads are all members of the viper family!
Elapids are modern, venomous snakes who tend to have primarily neurotoxic venom. They tend to be diurnal and more slender than vipers, and lack heat pits. Their fangs are always set into position. Cobras, mambas, and sea snakes are members of the elapid family!
Colubrids are a large family of modern snakes. Most colubrids are non-venomous, and those who aren't are rear-fanged venomous, with a less sophisticated venom delivery system than elapids and vipers. They're a very diverse family of snakes! Hognose snakes, garter snakes, watersnakes, and ratsnakes are examples of colubrids!
There are other snake families, but those five are the really big ones. Understanding the differences means you also understand a lot of the commonalities and distinctions between common snakes!
when your friend asks if you have any plans like nope just me and the skull lol
reddit is dying twitter is dying tumblr is next as people move over here in response and the corporate side of the company starts drooling at the prospect of EVEN MORE MONEY so they make staff change the website to be shittier and more like the dying websites. whats next? fireside gathering at my house where we pass the posting stick around that indicates youre allowed to make a post with words that come out of your mouth
twitter is going to be shut down. half of reddit is locked or completely unmoderated. the entire first page of google search results are ads. tumblr does not and will never have a functioning search system and their content moderation is 100% automated. youtube only shares ad revenue with people who make snuff films for Youtube Kids. facebook is selling your grandma’s social security number under the table for like $5. web 2.0 is completely dead right
i know 196 is a reddit thing but like. what does it mean. what do those numbers represent
r/196 is (was?) the successor subreddit to r/195.
r/195 was just a place for some roomates to post memes, and it was named after their apartment number. There was only one rule: if you visit the sub, you must make a post before leaving. The sub eventually grew in popularity, the original members couldn't keep up with the demands of moderating it, and they closed it down. Soon after, r/196 was born and eventually far outgrew its progenitor.
r/196 also kind of just organically grew into a left-leaning, LGBTQ+ positive space. This was possibly helped because at the start, the only available user flair (a little phrase or icon that appears by your username on posts and comments) was "trans rights".
oh my god the king of norway from 1046 to 1066 harald iii aka hardrada hi thank you so much welcome to tumblr in the year 2023
Thank you, my thane, for the kind welcome! If only the rest of my subjects were as loyal as lathiat! Truly all that other vikings know today is how to polish their armor and drink mead. They can't even navigate by the stars or raid a monastary!
