Pleasantly surprised that cultures other than the Ainu are mentioned in Golden Kamuy.

Haven't heard any piece of media talk about the Nivkh people basically ever.

When I spent time in Iceland with extended family, I noticed something that was pretty subtle but noticable.

Dudes tended to use slang contracted forms like erþakki vs er það ekki? (really?) and hvaretta? (What's this?) and generally just speak in a far more relaxed way.

I never really heard (many) girls talk this way, but this was a few years ago, so maybe that's changed

I've also noticed, particularly in Russian but also other languages, men will use the "low colloquial" forms when speaking casually, but not inherently in a degrading or mocking sense. I've mostly seen it used as a "it's just $thing, nothing special/don't make a big deal about it."

Also men will swear a LOT more than women, I don't entirely know the reason for this.

Ща, 'то моя работёнка. (Yeah, it's my job)

It doesn't mean he doesn't like it, but it carries an air of "it's just a job man, I gotta make money."

I've never seen a more brainlet linguistic take than: "men and women don't speak differently in [natural language here]"

Because a vast majority of the time yes they fucking do. It may not be as pronounced like in Japanese, but damn if they speak *exactly the same*.

Something I've noticed over years of looking at different languages.

Men (or extremely tomboyish women)
- often use a lot of truncated/clipped/reduced forms
- drop formalities quicker than women
- in the case of languages like Japanese or Korean, they use the harsh/vulgar register to tease or mock their friends. (おい、やめろよ！）
- don't tend to use tag questions that often

Women (and effeminate men):
- don't typically use reduced/truncated forms unless speaking quickly
- are less quick to drop formalities
- (mostly in asia but other countries as well) try to sound cute
- higher use of tag questions ("right?" "huh?")

I've been meaning to buy a new keyboard anyway, so I guess now's the time.

Well, the spacebar on my mechanical keyboard isn't working properly so, that's just great I guess.

"Max we just made a pot an hour ago, why is all the coffee gone?"
(Me chugging my 5th cup tonight because night shift) "did you make it weak?"

Trauma brain is funny because it's like "hey, we know you're trying to be productive, but it's been a while since you've had a horrifying flashback so let's do that right now."

>hears branches snapping and something sounding like a scream, howl, and metal scraping simultaneously
>nearest shelter besides this tower is all the way across the fucking campsite
>instantly regret life choices

Working at a campsite is fun because I'm like 90% sure I've seen some strange creatures during the night shifts when I have to fix things.

"Hey, we need you to fix the tower cam"

Okay thanks asshole, let me climb several hundred meters up a fucking tower to change the camera for the weather. Fuck you, that's not horrifying enough in daylight but doing it when its the black of night is so much worse.

I'm a bad boy, but I can be good too 😼
