English is weird but can be beautiful.
"'You are kind' he told me" somehow hits differently to "He told me 'You are kind'". It's weird but so cool!

Sweden: What the fuck did you say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and have been involved in numerous secret raids in 'l-Q'd', and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm th top sniper in the entire 'S armed forces. You are nothing to me but jist another target. I will wipe you the fuck it with precision the likes of whkch has never been seen before in this earth, mark mu fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the 'S' and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, any time, and can kill you in over 700 ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in armed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal if the United States Marine Corps and will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little ahit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tounge. But you couldnt, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shoot fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo
Please tell me any mistakes or what I missed.
Now... Its 3am imma sleep

I’m really tired of seeing people broken up into labels of absolutes.
People are not just “good” or “bad”.
People are not a list of labels.
People are complex, situations are complex.
I know, that makes it a lot harder when you want to just write off everything someone’s ever done as bad – but that’s not how people actually are, and it would do everyone good to stop pretending they are.
I am tired of hearing about the fear people have in putting themselves out there. And it is a scary thing! Putting yourself out there means subjecting yourself to people who want a really good reason to tear you down, who will jump at the first chance to feel “good” by labeling someone else as “bad”.
I reject this. I reject the idea that there should be fear in speaking up and talking about experiences and trying to reach an understanding of a situation.
I’m unhappy to see people spitefully urging others to cut off ties with their friends under the guise of “well, that person’s just inherently bad, so if you talk to them you’re bad too.” That is fucked up. You definitely have the right to let the friend know you don’t want to hear about whoever troubles you, but you do not at all have the right to decide who their friends should be. This includes guilt trips.
Anyway, just try to be more aware of others. Everyone else is a person like you. They might not have the same experiences as you. They might not understand how their words are harmful, or how what they’re doing is wrong. They certainly won’t if you never tell them.
Most people are trying to be good, but they’re going to mess it up sometimes. Try to keep that in mind. Even when people do really fucked up shit, sometimes they are trying to do good. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” and all that.
Nothing gets solved, no growth happens when you put people into a box from which you’ll never let them escape.
Yes, you absolutely must be careful about people who have tendencies and patterns that are harmful to you. Sometimes people try to overcome those patterns and they fail, and you have to distance yourself from them: that is the sad reality of life. Sometimes though, they can overcome it. But they certainly won’t if the first thing you do is write them off after a fuck up.
Be sincere. Use your best judgment.
I don't usually get to use my tagalog or even show people that I CAN speak it but I've heard many things about racism in the United States and I am TERIFFIED because of how much I hear about it. I have plans to work in the medical field and my mama said that I should study and work in America because you get paid more. Not very excited...
I think the racism happens because the country allows it to, learning new languages allows you to appreciate how different the world is and get used to the diverse sounds of languages. Since there is a great limit and not much support going into having people be fluent in foreign languages this doesn't happen.
Not only that, without the experience of trying to be fluent in one language there is a lack of appreciation for people who HAVE to become fluent in English inorder to better the lives of themselves, family and their descendants.
My parents come from the philippines and immigrated to the UK, my mom speaks to people because my dad tends to struggle with things like "he or she" because there is just "sya" for both genders and can't remember singular words for ideas which are seen as basic to English speakers but is still considered fluent because you could hardly tell unless you've known him a long time.
Here's the real kicker, they're trilingual. Both my parents speak their local language (I can only understand a word or two per sentence 😅) , Tagalog AND English plus a good deal of Spanish (not enough to be fluent but could hold a conversation).
If the US just gave people more motivation to study languages then I feel like the racism would die down. Seriously, cutting down the foreign language studies is letting racism continue.
I'm not sure if it's died down at all or if it's increased since I'm not there to see it but considering the president's history... Uh...
I'm not so sure... (If I'm wrong I'm sorry, I've been immersing in work, books and duolingo)
Edit: I've gotta add this but, one time my family were walking to wagamama and we were conversing in tagalog when some dudes rode by saying "A ching Chong ching", excuse me? First off, just because we look Asian and speak a different language doesn't mean we're Chinese, I've had that before, I hate it. Second, I have and have had Chinese friends, if they heard you!!! I don't understand why you felt it necessary to do that, you're not going to achieve anything...
I just can't...
Just learned that lalaki doesn't only mean "man", but also translates to "will grow bigger/taller". The only difference is the pronunciation:
Lalaki - man
Lalaki - will grow bigger/taller

American: I want to live in the UK.
Asian: I want to live in the UK.
Indian: I want to live in the UK.
African: I want to live in the UK.
Hispanic: I want to live in the UK.
Canadian: I want to live in the UK.
Filipino: I want to live in the UK.
French: I want to live in the UK.
Brazilian: I want to live in the UK.
British: wat
Irish: feckin’ English bastards
An easier way to tell the difference is through the literal meanings of "kita" and "sa'yo"
"Kita" means 'you' and "sa'yo" means something like 'to you'
This means that "Isinusampa kita" means "I curse you" and "I sinusampa sa'yo" means "I gravely promise to you"
But don't completely take my word, I didn't ask my parents (they're the native speakers)
Edit: DANG WROTE IT WRONG
SUMPA can have two meanings depending on moral purpose.
It can mean CURSE or GRAVE PROMISE.
"Isinusumpa ko" can mean "I curse" or "I gravely promise". It depends on the context, but putting different nouns can distinguish them.
Isinusumpa kita - means I curse you.
Isinusumpa ko sa'yo - means I gravely promise you.
Why would I say 'gravely promise' instead of just 'promise'?
The things is, using SUMPA for promise means you are definitely taking this promise seriously that you are willing to die for it.
There's a lighter and more casual way to say promise: Pangako.

dr. maheswaran: did anything particularly bad or traumatic happen to you during your childhood?
steven:
Well, the deer survived the initial arrow to the chest which explains the bone that grew around it, it probably died of something else like old age or, more likely, was eaten by another animal/human and for a pretty long while after since the arrow is almost completely covered by bone.
You're seeing its ribcage because it was already dead when found or the person who caught the deer was like "Metal" and kept it.
Shenanigans might have happened which meant it got handed around and is now displayed in this fancy as glass case in a museum or something
He’s got a point
Remember the episode where the gems had to play baseball to beat the Rubies and Lapis' name was Bob?
I think that nickname came from the episode where she stole the ocean to get back to homeworld.
When Steven fixed her gem and she thanked him he went "No prob Bob"
Not important but why not?
Beautiful

Nordictalia: “And I came to tell you....”
“...that you are not your past. The person you were doesn’t get a say to define who you are right now. Where you came from, what lead you here, what you did, who you used to be... they all don’t matter. You are growing and becoming better, leading a road to redemption and improvement. You deserve happiness; you are worth forgiving.”
“...that you are not broken, and you don’t need fixing; you’re beautiful and perfect and enough just the way you are. You’re allowed to have flaws and you’re allowed to have strength. You’re allowed to discover who you are and see the world for yourself. You’re allowed because you don’t need that permission from anyone but yourself. Allow yourself to be human, to be beautiful, to be perfectly imperfect. Allow yourself to be alive.”
“...that you are loved, so loved. You are not alone, and never forgotten. You are not less than anyone else. You’re just as valid, just as worthy, and just as amazing and wonderful— arguably more. You’re so beautiful and amazing, so strong and brave. You are smart and capable and great, and there’s more in the world for you to see and do, and you have to be here to find them.”
“...your progress is still progress. A small task done or a few minutes out of the house is progress. Backtracking, slumps, and bad days are part of the journey to recovery; no one said it would be easy. You’re here and you’re alive, and that’s enough of a sign that you are strong enough to make it to the end, that there is more for you at the end of the line. For now, all you have to do is take care of yourself, to love yourself, to keep breathing and keep trying. You’re doing great. Keep it up.”
“...you are needed alive. You have value and worth just for being yourself. There are things in this world that are thought of, seen, made, and felt, in the way that only you can do. You have so many places to see, things to do, people to meet, things to feel. Adventure awaits you, comfort awaits, love and recovery... it’s all waiting for you.Your life is worth living, in a way that you get to decide. There’s so much more in this great universe for you; please be there to see it.”
