Stuff you didn't know and probably don't care about

I feel like I could get by in any Germanic or Romantic country as far as language goes. I don't know any other languages, but I think I could pick those up quickly enough. Anything not using a Latin script would be challenging. Might be able to do Cyrillic. That seems like a fucked up Latin, but I'd have to really try. Not much casual opportunity to practice.

I think so - Eastern Orthodox maybe?

I don't know if they're any good yet, supposedly the translation apps are, sorta functional.

If you happen to frequent online forums like Reddit, you’ll know that modern-day “discussions” now involve at least two parties ignoring each other while attempting to prove their expertise on any given topic. To many, simply posting on the forum is interpreted as the online equivalent of throwing down your jacket and saying, “Let’s take this outside.”


The thought of taking a discussion to an idyllic Scottish isle, and solving matters over whisky, cheese, and oatcakes, couldn’t be more welcome right now.

The threat of getting punched in the face makes people more amenable to listening and compromise.
