One of the security cameras caught on fire, and no, the footage clarified nothing.

Excuse me WHAT?

I have been doing some research on Elen Page, and I've realized one ridiculous fact.

If she starts passing, it will be the worst day in her life.

Why? It's quite simple. Small girls are cute.

But she will be such a manlet :omegalul:

Controversial fucking opinion but I don't necessarily have an issue with pedos who can control their urges and don't touch kids.

When you start to diddle kids now we have a fucking problem.

The only times I ever got strange looks is for the fact that physically I was very much not the norm. I'm a very tall man (thank you icelandic mom, very awesome) with long braided black hair (something I've retained from the native wide) in many places I stand out for better or worse.

I get asked a lot "why do you want to go strange places for holiday instead of somewhere like Mexico or Florida."

The answer is pretty simple: it's something different, I could go do the typical winter vacation in Florida or I could do some basic research, plan carefully and go visit Uzbekistan for two weeks and have an entirely different experience that you can't have really anywhere else and for less money.

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 :peepoShrug:

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."
