wolfe but sad @wolfgang@awoo.space

radical leftists sure love to overestimate how much twitter users care about elon musk buying it

i was TIL years old when today i learned that, fun fact, :

i just realized that the hebrew term for "aged cheese" (גבינה מיושנת) could in fact also be understood to mean "outdated cheese"

"these iron age people had a temple 60 km (38 mi) from where you live today, where they would sacrifice livestock to appease their weird local god"

me: yaaaaaaawn

"also they spoke an earlier form of your native language"

me: TELL ME ALL ABOUT THE GOAT MURDERERS

ahahahaha the only reason i was able to make my vaccine appointment this morning is that the (european) dst switch made me sleep until 11 instead of 12 lmao

i know i like to shit on (my own native!) Modern Hebrew for being a semitic-inspired conlang with european syntax,,,,

but i'm actually reading a book from 800 years ago right now and understanding it almost perfectly so uh,,,,, i'll go find a foot to put in my mouth or whatever they say 😳😳😳

Where In The World Is Wolfe Telavivjaffa's Sleep Schedule

tempted to start spelling place names in israel so they'll sound like americans trying to speak hebrew for the first time

Telluveev, Butt Yum, Re-shone and Who-lawn are mostly pro subway, but Hair-say-Leeah, ca-Far Subba, and *especially* raw-Nawnaw are more hostile towards the project

it's so weird to me that some people still need to be convinced that [insert any one of my opinions here]

(........maybe i've been kinda sheltering myself lately)

things i managed to do today rather easily: going on a 25 km (16? mi) bike ride, then sitting for 2.5 hours straight in front of the computer to add a billion corrections to openstreetmap following that bike ride

things i didn't manage to do: eat, buy groceries

old-new special interest unlocked: bike transportation in the Goosh Done ("tel aviv metropolitan area") suburbs

gonna vote for the emotional labor party

ASL: "can't"
Israeli: "mistake"

Israeli: "which one of those?"
ASL: "are they the same?"

note: yes/no questions and wh questions have two distinct facial expressions/"tones of voice" (and it's the same two in both Israeli and ASL, as far as i can tell) but i can personally say from experience, that when i accidentally use the wrong one, i'm still mostly understood

also in the post where @else he/himmed their car; i, for some inexplicable reason, immediately thought "oh ok so now i should refer to him as אוטו (/oto/ 'car' or 'auto-') because it's in the grammatical masculine instead of מכונית (/mexonit/ 'car', literally 'machine' + '-ette') which is in the grammatical feminine" DESPITE there being literally NO context in my life in which i would be using gosh dang HEBREW to communicate about him!

for the rest of my life, some part of my brain is going to be exclusively dedicated to the assignment of and compliance with (grammatical?) genders of not only every person but also every inanimate object

growing up with a language with grammatical gender is so fucked up sometimes; like for my previous post i almost typed in "prime ministress" because i'm used to thinking about politics in israeli/hebrew terms

best i can tell from my bird site feed is: taylor swift organized a furry sleepover event on discord and now she's been sworn in as britains new prime minister

"how i'm protecting my job against ai" -- im not; if the robots want it they can fucking take it

i don't know why i listened to a podcast episode titled "ai art will make marionettes of us all before it destroys the world" and unsurprisingly it did NOT make me feel better to listen to it

purposely creating an autoimmune reaction as part of a universally* administered vaccine (i.e the vast majority of covid vaccines these past x years), will probably be seen in the far future as One Of History's Most Terrible Ideas

they don't offer any non-mrna covid vaccines here, and so the trade off, even for me with crohn's disease, still comes down to: it's better to take the nebulous possible chance of long term damage from the vaccine, than to take the certain short AND long term damage from an unmitigated covid infection

but still, i can't help but wonder what kind of weird autoimmune issues will arise if i keep getting this kind of vaccine regularly. i wish they had the bivalent omicron booster shot vaccine injection as a non-mrna thing; (but they don't, for many different reasons, all of them out of my control)
