hello i see a thing doing the rounds so maybe i can interest you in the original source :koboldblush: twitter.com/catboots/status/98

food, fruit 

our boss puts out little snacks in the break area from time to time at work, and the most recent one was a punnet of tiny apples, like the size of clementines

we had one, and they were very disappointing apples. almost no flavor to them and very little juice. i know it's about as out of season as apples get right now but still, those were disappointing

re: youtube video thumbnail, ukraine current events 

i noted in the image description that we can't really identify the people pictured in the background due to having some degree of face-blindness; if anyone can tell us who they are that'd be appreciated

i suspect the bald one is putin but am not certain enough to say for sure

youtube video thumbnail, ukraine current events 

i'm going to say "probably not" on this one

wars generally are not legal, but also i don't feel like the aggressor in a war is going to pay much attention to legality, particularly not when it's putin

elden ring question 

how do ashes of war work? do you only get to use each one one time? is it possible to remove ashes of war from a weapon? if both of those are yes, do you get the ash back to reuse on something else?

thinking about how dark souls had "horse" as a message word you could use, without actually having any horses in it

also it was categorized under "body parts". you know, the horse, a part of everyone's body

we also learned that there is a word fremd that means "weird", "strange", or as a noun, "stranger" in the sense of "someone you don't know"

so fremd could be called the opposite of friend

today we learned: the reason that went is the past tense of go is because it's not the past tense of go, it's the past tense of wend, an archaic word synonymous with go, a word which apparently just didn't have a past tense? so even though wend fell out of use (except for the rare poetic use), went is still perfectly current

this is a linguistic phenomenon called "suppletion" if you want to look up more about it

other examples in english are person/people, cow/cattle, be/is/was

-F

we remember some particularly egregious examples of this from Latin class, but can't remember what the actual examples were.
