Overcoming differences as a Black American dating a Venezuelan

2024.05.14 10:32 FlowProfessional100 Overcoming differences as a Black American dating a Venezuelan

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a bit about my journey into interracial dating, and I want to preface it by saying that there's no hostility here, just a genuine desire to connect and understand each other's worlds.
This romance I made a move to a Latin territory transferring for work.
Fate seemed to have a plan as our paths crossed quite literally - with a coffee spill and a shared moment of cleaning up the mess. It led to a conversation sparked by the books I was reading about Simon Bolivar and the history of Venezuela, which had helped improve my spanish. That same day, we decided to talk over lunch spontaneously. (I'm not one to turn down a chance encounter). From there, came more dates, then a kiss on the beachside front, and us making things official.
However, like any relationship, we've encountered our share of challenges. It's not that we're fighting, but rather navigating the complexities of blending our two worlds. Her family, in particular, has been a significant aspect of this journey. They're extremely close-knit, and I've never experienced anything quite like it. My family life was quite volatile.
Because of this, I've kept a small distance from others except my three closest friends back home.
Recently, her mother expressed concern to me about my guarded nature when we had a chance to talk one on one during small walk in the park, particularly regarding topics like past relationships or my childhood.
I should also mention, after last breakup in the states, I hadn't had a girlfriend in some years due to the sting of it, and I became even more careful about who I open up to and what I share.
That said, I'd love to hear from all of you. Have you experienced similar challenges or triumphs in interracial relationships? How did you navigate cultural differences and family dynamics? Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Overall, our relationship has been incredibly rewarding, challenging me to step out of my comfort zone and embrace vulnerability in ways I never imagined. It's a journey of growth, understanding, and love, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Please tell me you're point of view. I'll be as engaging as I can.

2024.05.14 09:40 NerfPup Friend with autism (all of my friends have autism) told me I probably have autism siting my love for Latin and tendency to blurt out during class... I always feel I annoy people with my special interests of My Little Pony and Latin.

We were talking about our ADHD and he talked about how he feels his autism is more important than his ADHD to who he is. He then stated I probably do have it... Someone earlier told me to shut up because we were all playing Duolingo (everyone else was doing Japanese but I really don't care for that language) and I got a little too loud. It's not my fault ok, I figured out that Male was the same as Malum. I don't know Latin RN but I'm learning on my own time. Everyone says it's fine and that they're interested but I still feel bad when every conversation with me goes either to an MLP, a dub of MLP or the Roman empire

2024.05.14 09:19 MozillaKitsune why do Latin men shave their body??

as the title says, I'm really curious to hear your opinion on why Latin men shave their body parts. I find Latinos so attractive but it really throws me off when they have shaved pubes/armpits etc..
I heard that it is a cultural thing for them but are there any other reasons why they hate body hair?

2024.05.14 08:40 HistAnsweredBot What language(s) did Romance-speaking peasants say/thought they spoke? How far along were they referring to it as 'Latin' or 'Roman'; did they have more parochial terms ('the language we speak here') or regional ones? What about the pre-humanism ruling classes? Did they always distinguish them?

2024.05.14 08:36 Independent-Month626 Sad as an author and as a person of words

I view writing as a gift, not as a trait. It's so hard for me especially since I know two languages, wanting to focus on my English as it is wonderful to write in. My second language, Latin, is just as wonderful, even though barely anyone reads it although I wish people did. I feel dehumanized for people wanting AI to automate my mother tongue, it's incredibly tragic. All in the name of profit and material worth. People never wrote things in history to sell, only to prove a point, build trust with somebody or to tell a story/philosophical/spiritual view. Selling writings merely for material worth i.e Money is a very recent thing they say and is the cause of all this calamity. Thankfully Latin is safe from so much of this crap, though it suffers from lack of readership (a problem unique to the language as a whole). Some of my writings contain Neoplatonist views on monadic interpretations of Reward vs Punishment among some of my Orphist/Hellenist spiritual views, the work in question is a book I have been writing lately. To think AI could copy this, even through a human hand making the AI do this to make a quick buck, is dehumanizing and, to be clear, hurts the very idea of writing in the first place. We do this to communicate things to others, not to make money, that is how it always has been throughout history and in my opinion will never change.
Any thoughts on this?

2024.05.14 06:26 Quartersharp Glory be or all glory be?

Why do mostly college-aged and FOCUS Catholics say “ALL glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit…” instead of just “glory be…”? I learned just “glory be,” which is what’s on Wikipedia and most websites, and seems to sync up with the Latin.
I have a guess… maybe they saw it written in a prayer book or the LotH or something, formatted like this:
All: Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Any other theories where that came from?

2024.05.14 05:36 feast_on_yeast What happens after turnabout samurai?

Hello! this is my first time playing through any of the Phoenix Wright games, and I just completed Turnabout Samurai, really enjoyed it >!even if the fetch quests like bringing Dee her script or bringing Cody the urp card were a bit tedious Sure, >! once its proven that Vasquez killed Hammer in self defense, Will Powers is found not guilty for Hammer's death. But as far as I'm aware, even in the goofy law world of AA, self defense isn't really a crime, which makes everything look much weirder in retrospect. Sure, she could've been trying to hide ties to the mafia and or having blackmailed Hammer, but at that point why not just say that you did it and it was in self defense??? I guess what I'm trying to get at is, does she go to jail? Does she receive punishment at all??!<

2024.05.14 05:11 Titotypes My travels

What’s up guys! Gonna share some insights, especially for the younger guys.
Stats: 20y- 6’0 - Handsome/Cute (6-7/10) - Nice Build Mediterranean looking + Mixes (🇻🇪 fam)
Context: Well travelled since youth, not rich but was a family thing to do. By default became a passport bro haha. Difficult kid, intelligent odd ball, not bad with girls but bad with girls lmao. Good but weird upbringing. Chaotic and a bit of a demon, impulsive, low self control. (Much more mature now)
Mexico 🇲🇽 Ok let’s get into it. My first real experience and love was at 19. I was in a bad place for many years prior and didn’t let people in. Anyways so yeah I met a 🇲🇽 girl who I found really cute through mutuals in the capital. I rarely found any Mexicans cute, so she was special in that point of view. We also had many similarities and I loved how feminine she was compared to girls back home. Beautiful country and culture I thoroughly recommend CDMX as a beginner location. I quickly began solo traveling to 🇲🇽 to see my “friend” and it quickly got out of hand and ended abruptly in a moment of my immaturity. I learned many things though: Long distance is not my style- too complicated and heart wrenching- I quickly made a mental note to not take any relationships serious. Also noted to be weary of girls who approach you haha. Here is where I noticed how insane I pulled outside of the country. I live in a city which has the most hyper-competitive sexual market in the United States (world) and I still do surprisingly well (especially at night lol). But nothing compares. Also I’m a Latino by blood so the dating culture just feels better.
Venezuela 🇻🇪 Anyways after the Mexico era I went on a family trip to Venezuela which I basically haven’t been there since my balls dropped. Wow. The natural beauty of Venezuelans is striking. Beautiful girls everywhere. The country itself is a mess. Everything is slow, expensive, and inconvenient. Had some fun there with a local girl but was not able to enjoy as much as I wanted to as I was with family the entire time. I don’t use tinder- all IRL into instagram as a funnel. Maybe I’ll explore more with dating apps as I get many matches especially overseas but the quality seems shitty and it can be a waste of time also a lame way to meet people. Never got to go out or party solo-dolo so that was a bummer. Will be back soon enough though so I’ll update you guys on Venezuela Nightlife experience. All I can say is it’s the second most beautiful place when it comes women I’ve been to. The country itself is by far the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Terrible government- felt surprisingly safe though.
Europe 🇪🇺 Ok here’s were it gets weird haha. So Europe is definitely a place with more nuance. With that said I went to both western and eastern locations. It’s much easier to have casual sex in Western Europe due to the culture. Many American and European solo traveling girls as well… they are rather promiscuous. Eastern Europe was by far a beauty haven. From Romania to Russia you will find some of the most beautiful women on earth just walking on the street. The culture shock is large though and dating becomes a bit more “serious” which for me doesn’t work. I would recommend Europe as a traveling destination if you think you’re up for it. I did well and met, partied with, and traveled with girls but I felt like it the more east I went it just wasn’t the right vibe for that. Which is a bummer because Western European girls don’t compare to for example Ukrainians and Moldova. The farthest east I went was Turkey and the girl I was with had to sneak out everyday out of fear of being basically ostracized. Turkish people are very nice though. Spain was the most degenerate place I was in, if I wanted to party everyday I pretty much could. Great food, pricing varies widely based on economy, girls get hotter the more you go east but also more tricky. Great location to party hard, techno, etc.
So when it comes to Europe results may vary on many things. Your relative attractiveness, your ability to adapt and be outgoing even in “colder” nations, and how you carry yourself + where you stay. Staying in good locations is key. As an American you either get a buff or a de-buff and “wealth” is the main factor. European girls are very direct. Which I found off putting. Latin culture can be hyper sexual but I find it more classy.
Pro tips 🧠: - Don’t drink too much- you’ll get robbed or worse - Don’t get attached to anyone if you’re solo traveling it’s “solo” for a reason. Explore man. - Have travel cards with 0 international/atm fees - Learn how to say “hi” “nice to meet you” “my name is” “you’re gorgeous” in whatever language it shows you’re somewhat cultured. - If you’re young fuck the clubs! Go to raves, underground events, concerts, festivals. The young person and pretty girl ratio is 100x better. - Party hostels are a great way to meet “fun” people - Be careful with drug use, have been fine but honestly most of it is just unnecessary lmao. - Pub crawls are the easiest way to get laid in Europe lmao. Everyone is there for a reason. Just don’t do it if the ratio is completely busted as it’s not good for meeting local girls and stay away from the girl guides- trust.
Future travels 🌎 Peru 🇵🇪 - Machu Pichu + Lima Brazil 🇧🇷 - 🤤 nuff said Colombia 🇨🇴 - Venezuela lite more dangerous imo Argentina 🇦🇷 - seems fun
Asia as well- China 🇨🇳 would be crazy. Rarely find Asians cute but some are gorgeous.
Please share your thoughts / tips on these locations as I will be there shortly.

2024.05.14 04:42 Jierdan_Firkraag Recommendations for Spanish language anarchist news about Latin America (not necessarily exclusively) to read to practice my Spanish

Title says it all. I’m looking for good, leftist, anarchist or social-libertarian Spanish language news sources to both brush up on what’s happening in Latin America and to practice my Spanish. Any recommendations? Thanks!

2024.05.14 03:50 schattencaelum HISTORY CLASS GRADE: INC

One of my pet peeves when it comes to fundamentalists and restorationist Christian cultic groups like the Iglesia ni Cristo ni Manalo is their virtue-signaling, woke-like attitude against holidays, feasts, or celebrations like Christmas, Easter Sunday, Valentine's Day, and allegedly, if not yet officially, Mother's Day (probably Father's Day too because I heard EVM has daddy issues) and others.
Like kung hindi ang argumento nila is hindi Catholic-origin daw, Christianized or Catholicized na pagan holiday ang pakunchaba nitong mga charlatans na ito. Ang lagi kong counter-argument sa kanila, then don't use the whole fudging Gregorian Calendar that we are currently using right now, since it retains most of the names of the days of the week and months of the year from paganism, specifically from the Roman pagan religion since it's only a revised version of the Julian Calendar.
For example:
January - Janus, the Roman pagan god of doors, gates, and transitions. Kahit i-Tagalized mo pa yan sige, Enero, from Old Spanish, "Jenero" or in Latin "Ianvarivs" or "Januarius", pagkilala sa Romanong diyos ng simula at wakas na si Janus)
Monday - from Latin, "dies Lunae" or the day of Luna, the Roman goddess of the moon. Kaya nga in Filipino, tawag natin "Lunes")
This only proves the poor mental gymnastics that fundamentalists and restorationists like the INC have. Overspiritualizing things for them to show that they are distinctive, divine-inspired, and as one of their favorite verses sprinkled with their narcissistic approach says, "hindi nakiki-ayon sa sanlibutan" (Roma 12:2).
Merong isang play safe na kulto na apo ng INC na ngayon di umano nalalanta na simula nung namatay yung founder nila at pumalit yung biblically illiterate niyang pamangkin, na kesho Gregorian Calendar daw ginagamit nila, Hebrew calendar daw like as if alam ng mga miyembro na bumasa nun lmao.

2024.05.14 02:51 CinnamonIsntAllowed Played Dead Space (Remake) for the first time, here's my thoughts.

Graphics are insane. I had just previously played fallout 4 and the intro was jaw dropping gorgeous. The facial animations alone made me stop and stare for moments at at time. The atmosphere of the game is phenomenal and is only helped by the graphical fidelity as well as the spectacular audio suite. Gunner Wright looks great, sounds great, and acts great. He really made me like Isaac and wish the best for him. The same goes for Daniel's actress and writing. I straight up said I hope she doesn't die before finding everything out. The writing, immaculate. The acting, stellar. The graphics and audio detail, mind blowing. The gameplay, perfection. Having played resident evil Prior to this, I have to say with just this first game alone, I enjoy Dead space more. The Sci-fi cosmic horror, the uniqueness of the necromorphs and their different archetypes, and the dismemberment system is just so much more engaging than zombies that you can kneecap in some games. I love that you can use necromorphs own bodies against them and some fights you never have to fire a single shot due to environmental weapons. It breathes so much life into the survival horror genre that up until now has more or less been the same thing for me, shoot or run. Dead Space has opened so much creativity with its gameplay, deciding when to use what and how I can be an efficient necroslayer. Should I force gun and one tap with the line gun? Should I black hole and flamethrow? Should I stasis a group of enemies and throw a fire canister at them? Should I search the room for pipes and sharp objects to conserve ammo? If I know a fight is coming Should I set up trip mines? Does the area have a environment insta kill that I can use? There's so much thought that can go into every scenario and I love it. To backtrack, the story is mwah. Horror perfection. We have great characters. Multiple interesting twists. Reasonable explanations for objectives. Characters aren't super stupid (We all collectively don't look at Hammond as I say this). The intrigue and wish to explore everything exists. It's everything a person could want and more. I wish I would have played this game (the remake) sooner and didn't brush it off at release because EA produced it, because motive have made a remake on par with Resident Evil 1 Remake. I fully intend to 100% this game. I've already started NG+ and am excited for the test that is impossible mode. Quickly before I go, HOW IS THIS LESS THAN 40 GB?! WHO KNEW DEVS STILL KNEW HOW TO OPTIMIZE GAME STORAGE! I could talk about this game forever, easily a new hyperfixation. I'm sure I'll gush about 2 when I play it.

2024.05.14 02:12 EmeraldOptic [TOMT][Music][Early 2000s] Probably the hardest song to find…

So, I was born in the last 90s so I grew up in the early 2000s in Canada. Watching a lot of tv I had my usual programs, like treehouse and the family channel. I’m not sure what channel it was on but I feel like it was on a kids channel, or I’m not sure how I would’ve seen this music video. I didn’t watch muchmusic unless my sister put it on.
However, there was this music video with brightly coloured clothes and I think a Spanish/Latin American vibe though, I think they were singing in English. Everyone had bright clothes and there was a group of people but there was a main male and female singer. I don’t think they were singing to each other like a love song cause they were looking at the camera a lot. But there was a shed they were dancing in and around and singing. I remember my mom walking in and saying that I was inappropriate and she thought I should change the channel. But I don’t know why it wasn’t appropriate. It seemed like just some happy dancing and singing.
If I had to guess an approximate year I’d say around 2004-2005 ish
(In all honestly I’m sorry I don’t have a lot of details, it’s been so long it might be a dream lol)

Like Joshua and Caleb and the Apostle Paul, we see with faith what He sees in each person (to help each reach fullness), group (many streams and backgrounds in unity) and nations (sheep vs. goat nations).

The Uncompromising Blissful Extravagance of His Presence! Inbox
By CMM.World CMMTheology.org - November 10, 2022
Dear Mighty One,
I see the Lord's eye upon us we discover by revelation the 'new thing' He is doing in our lives and of those of us who, beyond the present darkness, gaze into His eyes. The 'tuning fork' of Yahweh is orchestrating the sons and daughters of our living God in growing holy remnant unity to withstand as we stand with Him fearlessly in the boldness of the faith of God in this hour. Egypt is behind us, and the covenantal promises and prophetic words we have received (1 Tim. 1:18) empower us by His Holy Spirit to advance in warfare, humbly growing in the spirit of wisdom and revelation.

Yesterday as I encouraged some friends, I said, 'stay in the blissful extravagance of His presence.' Today I saw in Psalm 34 His eyes are upon us in vs. 8 & 9 and v:15 about the 'uncompromisingly righteous.' We are to be holy as He is holy. That leaves no room for any more compromise or seeking to please man or the traditions of men, being free of the fear of man, the religious spirit, and any demonic activity. We are seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Lord, help us understand by revelation to walk in all the authority we have been given by Jesus Christ.
Psalm 34:8-9 'O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him. O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.'
v. 15 'The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry.'
Chuck Pierce shared this amazing word from Penny Jackson that is right on for this season: https://christsmandate.blogspot.com/2022/11/chuck-pierce-shares-powerful-word-from.html

Prophetic Encouragement for 2022 by Jorge Parrott
By CMM.World CMMTheology.org - January 02, 2022

Prophetic Encouragement for 2022 By Jorge Parrott (all scriptures NKJV) (Graphic art by Nancy G. Daniel) Despite the impending wars, division, chaos, calamity, and deceptive controls we hear the voice of our Lord at times speaking, or roaring, or whispering, and breathing on the sons of God. Are we listening yet? Heaven’s roar is clear to those with an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Living God is saying. This year holds untold opportunities, many answered prayers, and the cries of many hearts if we arise to walk obediently in His fullness, not growing weary in well-doing, nor fainting in the heat of this fiery battle. Deut. 6:4 ‘ The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.’ Jesus was asked many questions. What should you ask

Highlights Of Our Amazing Trip To The Holy Land With Chris Reed And Bart Peacher

Highlights Of Our Amazing Trip To The Holy Land With Chris Reed And Bart Peacher Prov. 16:9 ' A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.' We are continually blessed and in awe of how the Lord breathes and moves in our lives. As we press into the high calling of Jesus Christ and we grow in intimacy and trust by faith, His love, grace, and mercy unfold in surprising ways. I had not been to Israel since 2017. So much has changed in the world since then as we see the tremendous acceleration of the times and seasons. Chaos, control, and corruption are increasing at an alarming rate. Our only hope is in Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Divine Encounters Abound As We Are Led By Holy Spirit And Make Ourselves Available Many churches are led by their pursuit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil instead of the knowledge of the Tree of Life. As we surrender fully to the Holy Spirit, we learn to walk in deep humility and attenti

2024.05.14 01:25 ajamal_00 Life with a TWW Fan: work edition

So I had my yearly review at work today, over teleconference.. picking up the dialogue at me recalling some events from a project earlier in the year...
Me: so yeah, XX hasn't shown up to any of the meetings since that disagreement happened... it could be unrelated or post hoc ergo propter hoc..
awkward silence for a few sec
Boss: what was that?
Me: it's latin saying for "after something, therefore because of it"... that may hold true here but then again it may not... I am not sure..
Boss: yes yes of course, I know... just had a bad connection there for a sec.. OK then.
Call continued as normal...
Outcome: secured the highest possible performance grade..

2024.05.14 01:20 TechSavvySqumy I am homeschooled, what is the best online school I can use for AP classes?

I'm considering Bio, Latin, Comp Sci 1, CSP, Calc AB, Calc BC, Precalc, Human Geo, US History, US Gov, Psych, Chem, and Lit. (I'll probably be picking out of that list is what I'm saying for the rest of high school, I'm just finishing freshman year now.)
Any program/online school suggestions?

2024.05.14 01:14 G4lact1cz i'm having a huge typology crisis so please type me thx

(this isn't my first typing attempt but that's the best flair there was for this)
• How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself. 14F i'm just a girl who hates her life... also this psychologist/doctor lady said i have inattentive adhd based on a random questionnaire, i kinda don't think you can decide that off of a bunch of questions that could apply to a lot of people but anyways
• Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow? i already mentioned that above
• Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it? i don't feel particularly comfortable answering this question but i'll at least say that i'm home schooled, i do dance classes and that i have a single mother who is very strict, very cheep... and doesn't really follow through with her promises to me, and tends to make annoying comments about how i act and how everything i do is rude and how i don't do enough productive stuff, like school work and house chores.. and i hate my life
• What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not? well i'm 14 so i don't have one, but i can tell you what i would like to do, i wanna be a voice actress, who also dose animation, who also dose music, who also wrights stories, all kinda in the same field, basically i wanna do indie animation, games to maybe but mostly shows
• If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed? it depends am i doing anything? am i just chilling? what? like if i was going out shopping by myself for example i would find that genuinely fun i get to buy cool things, i get to eat out and get tasty food, i get to maybe explore places i've never been before, but if i'm at home alone, then i would find a way to keep myself entertained on my computer like i always do, but i'd prefer the first option tbh...
• What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities? Dance is a sport. nobody can change my mind, but ya i do dance competition and i really do enjoy that, i also like shopping, listening to really hype music, researching things i find interesting, tho if it takes to long to research and i don't understand everything right away most of the time i will give up
• How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate? i am a very curious person i'd say, sometimes you'll see me coming up with a question that literally nobody cares about that i really really need the satisfaction of an answer to or it will keep me up at night, speaking of witch if anything in the day (that i care about that genuinely wanted to finish) is unresolved it will keep me up at night bc i'll be thinking of all the ways i can finish it, but ya i have a lot of ideas, but then when i want to come up with an idea that will work for something i really want, i can't come up with an idea for it, like for example when i tried to make myself a new sona and a new username.... it took forever just to figure out half a user name and i still don't know what the full thing is gonna be, but when its not limited to only things that will work really good for some very particular criteria, i'll come up with a lot of ideas that will never happen, i'm mostly curious about how things work, and how people work, and most of my ideas are career ideas and character ideas, idk what the last bit is supposed to mean
• Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be? i do in fact wanna be in control, i would love a leadership possession if people actually listened to me, witch they don't.... people are annoying....... i feel like i could be good at it if people took me seriously, meaning i'd need to find an entire group of people that don't know me.... as for leadership style, if you give me an idea i will listen to it, but if i already have something that i pre decided i find the best, nothing changes, if i decide something i know what i want it's it's pretty much impossible to change my mind, but for the things i'm ok will being flexible about than sure give me your ideas
• Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity? i don't exactly know what this means
• Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer. i make songs some times, mostly songs about things i'm to scared to say out loud, and i would do more art, if i could draw..... tho i'm amazing at minecraft skins, that's always fun
• What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them? i normally dwell on the past a lot, like "OMG WHY THE FUCK DID I DO THAT THING THAT ONE TIME" kinda thing, and sometimes i look at the past and say, wow my life was kinda fun at that one point, now it sucks, as for the present i'm writing this in the present? well it'll be the past by the time i post it, but anyways i don't have much comment on the present... as for the future i'm always waiting for the future and planning it, i'm always thinking that maybe in the future my life won't suck, and i'm always planning my career and stuff, and when i say my career, i'm honestly thinking more about what i really wanna achieve than making money, tho i do really wanna be rich like any other normal person but ya
• How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so? so if you ask me to clean sm or do the dishes or whatever, you asked the wrong person bc i'm to lazy for that, but if you ask me to help you come up with ideas for a project, you also asked the wrong person bc i will not stop annoying you about it, i will come up with ideas every 5 seconds, and yes this probobly could be helpful, i'm also aware that some may view it as annoying bc if i come up with any idea that could work, amazing or a very small detail, i have to tell you, my brain requires me to tell you if i wish to sleep at night, tho if the project is sm i couldn't care less about that's a different story... but sometimes i find myself almost talking over peoples things, there for i try to be carful with my words so they know i'm not stealing there project and it's still their thing
• Do you need logical consistency in your life? i don't know what this means exactly, but ya things need to make sense if that's what it means
• How important is efficiency and productivity to you? as important as water, only in small doses and never to often.... ya i should probobly drink water shouldn't i... but ya i'm not productive unless i really force myself to be, and even then, if i'm not in the mood for it i will be there for 5 second and be like, ah i can do the rest later
• Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that? i mean i have a tendency to take over other peoples projects, but i try not to do so... ya i think i might be somewhat controlling ig... some what manipulative..... so ya i am aware that i can be a little bossy, and i do tend to try and keep people in line in a sense, but the way i mean that isn't really the way most people would think of, like idc if people are disorganized, or if people are rude every once in awhile, or if people arn't working hard at stuff, i couldn't care less, but when there are some things i want people to know, or things that i want from people, i will try and hold them to that, for example i want people to study a certain thing bc i think they should know it, i will do everything in my power to get them to do that, and sometimes i might try and offer sm in return for people to do the things that i want them to do, like if theirs something they really want me to do i probobly won't do it, and kind of hold it hostage until they do the thing i want them to do, so in a way i try to keep people to the standards that satisfy me is that makes any sense? and i'm a very deal oriented person, so i'll a lot of the time ask sm for return for a lot of things, and i'll also try and offer things to get people to convince people to do my bidding, even if that person happens to be a really close friend
• What are your hobbies? Why do you like them? well, for one i really like music for starters, i tend to try and right songs, mostly only little pieces of songs that never get finished, but some get finished, like one or 2 out of a billion get finished, but anyways that's besides the point, i really like just listening to well put together beats and stuff, and music is just really enjoyable so it would be nice to wright a song and say hey i made this, this is my amazing work of art, but also i like music bc it give me a way to express my emotions without having to directly talk about them, bc i never like talking about emotions, if somebody asks me about them, i probobly will either say sm like "I don't have to answer that" or i'll actually try but leave out a lot of important details that i'm defiantly not telling anyone, but i generally don't like to feel venerable like that, anyways as for my other hobbies, ever now and then i like to draw sm... i kinda suck at it but i wanna get better bc i really like art, like i see a lot of really pretty artwork on pinterest and stuff all the time and i really wanna be able to do that, i really want that level of creative freedom, besides art can have a lot of different uses to and it's a genuinely good skill to have, tho i'm not the best at it yet... i also really like indie animation, and i've actually gotten really into the voice casts of certain shows, and i honestly plan to do voice acting eventually, bc that to me dosn't really sound like work, and you'd also kinda get to be a character without really showing your face, but can it really be considered a hobby if you haven't REALLY gotten into it yet? who knows but still sm i'd love to do eventually, on the topic of indie animation i really like crafting stories and stuff and fictional worlds, when i was about like 11 to 13 i think? i spend that entire time developing an entire universe that i kinda escaped to, tho recently i've kinda abandoned all my ocs from that tho i still reference to them some times, mostly bc i'm not really into high fantasy as much anymore and i made that world when i was, but i'm still into creating characters and universes and stuff, just kinda abandoned the old thing, i'm semi into chess, i feel like i'd be more into it if it was easier to learn as i kinda got into it more recently, but it's something i wanna get good at mostly as a flex so i can be like "Ha i'm smarter than you" and all that shit, but it's also fun to play a couple games, annoying when i make a stupid move and only realize the second after i play it... but still fun, also something i haven't started but want to when i have a computer that can handle it is 3D animation and 3D modelling, it's something i differentially have an interest in but haven't been able to do bc my computer is a piece of shit and my mother is very cheep, but again can you really call it a hobby if you haven't done it yet? well i still thought i should mention it, but you can't talk about my interests without mentioning... TYPOLOGY, even tho i still don't fully understand it i'm still very interested in it and have been for quite awhile, it's kinda sm that i understand but i can't explain to other people, but i'm trying to get to the point where i can explain it to other people, but anyways recently i've had a major typology crisis and have been rethinking like literally every part of my typology, like every system everything, i use to be very confidant in what i was for all systems, now i'm not sure for any system... witch is why i'm posting here, but i'm not gonna say what i use to think i was bc i don't wanna give anyone any basises when trying to type me, just now realizing how huge this section is... anyways...
• What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses? well idk exactly what to put here or how to explain my learning style, so ima put examples instead, anyways so i really like the idea of learning languages, bc i just like languages ig, but i kinda only know the 2 languages i had since i was little my first language, english, and french witch i learned at like 5.. kinda rusty at it now tho, any ways lemme get to the point, it's really hard for me to learn any more languages even tho i want to bc i need a base on things before i can try to go into the details, with languages you HAVE to start small, that's not how i work, i like to get then general idea of stuff first before i get into specifics, i like to have a general understanding first and then get into the sub categories (if anyone knows how to learn languages like that pls say sm) but ya that's generally how i tend to learn stuff, i have to be placed into it first i can't just slowly work my way up to the knowledge, i get board fast so if i try and learn stuff like that i will give up quickly
• How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go? what the questionnaire means and how i see the word strategizing are 2 different things.. when i think of the verb "To Strategize" i think of it as a game term, weather that game is just that, a game to have fun with, or sm actually important that i treat as a game with moving pieces that i'm a lot less likely to take risks with but anyways enough of that ima actually answer the question now with 3 words... it really depends... i might try and plan things out when i need to be strategic with things, but when it doesn't matter i might just wing it, tho even if i do plan it out, maybe later i'll decide, "Screw this i'm not going by this anymore" or sm like that, but if somebody else tries to plan sm for me, that is the most painful shit, like i'm probobly not gonna go through with it unless i actually have to
• What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally? well... voice acting, 3d animation, 3d modelling, show writhing and directing and basically everything in that field and uh.. song writhing (and singing), yes i plan to do all this simultaneously, and yes i know it's a lot, and yes it's probobly unrealistic, but my mind is set and there's no going back that's what i'm gonna do with my life in the future, besides it's all kinda in the same area so like it's not crazy, oh and probobly game developing as well, as for personal goals, i wanna get my own house some how, and live the city life that i never got to have, get a cat bc uh... cat, and uh, ya, i think i'll just make it up as i go mostly idk..
• What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why? my main fear is that my life is hopeless and that i will never have any freedom and just be stuck in a cage all my life so to speak.... but that's very mixed with the fear that i will always continue being a little bit of a coward bc i'm very afraid of the consequences that could come with any and all actions i do or don't take, and also i'm afraid to lose so sometimes that means i just won't play, and i'm kinda afraid that i'll always be like that cuz i really hate that about myself.. i feel like the reason i'm like that is bc 2 reasons one when my mom is angry with me or just when she wants me to do something she'll take my computer away, and i know it's unhealthy to be on it all the time but it's kinda all the entertainment i have and there fore i'm always afraid of the consequences to things cuz i don't wanna lose my only life line, and second i don't wanna be perceived as less than i always have to be better than everyone in everything tho i will act like i don't care so that if i do lose people will think it doesn't matter to me even tho it dose... anyways what makes me uncomfortable are uh, emotions, like for example lets say my friend is crying, i'ma just ignore that friend, bc idk how to deal with emotions and i'll probably just make it worse since i probobly caused it knowing me, even tho the crying part was normally uncalled for, and it's normally one friend in particular that starts crying.... it's always her.. that makes me very uncomfortable, also anything that makes me feel venerable in any way... mostly emotionally... that's very uncomfortable... witch is why i don't open up to anyone and not even the people who know me really know me even if they think they do, ya that's totally healthy but anyways, also not wearing socks is very uncomfortable, ya that has nothing to do with any of this, but you know i'm right, anyways.... i really hate trying to explain something to somebody and even after dumbing it down a billion times, they still don't get it, ya again i'm mostly talking about that one friend but this happens with other people a lot to, like uh can you just stop being an idiot and try to understand something for once? i also hate when i'm trying to argue sm, and i know why i'm right, but i can't for the life of me explain it... ya... also one thing i really really hate about myself.... is that i'm such a shy person even tho i really do wanna talk to people, i have no courage to go up to somebody and say hi if i don't know them well, like besties kinda well.. well actually that was kinda misleading bc i don't have to like the person i just need to be close to them if ya know what i mean? but i'll kinda just watch people from a distance as if it where some kinda tv show and even tho i really wanna talk to these people, even tho i really wanna interact with them... i just don't, i just can't, but anwyays.. ya
What do the "highs" in your life look like? the highs in my life are whenever my mom isn't there... also whenever i'm not at home... like when i actually have some sense of freedom, and like i kinda hate being at home tbh
• What do the "lows" in your life look like? the lows are when i fall out of this empty state and start realizing how much my life sucks and how hopeless my life is and how stuck i really am, ya the thought kinda pops up every once in awhile and then i'm really sad and angry at everyone for a few days and then after that passes i go back to being completely empty and numb inside... ya it's kinda like a loop that i'm forever trapped in
• How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so? well i'm mostly on my computer all the time even tho half the pixels are broken since it's all i have to keep myself occupied and i'm not really able to go out or really do anything else, i do day dream sometimes, imagine myself killing somebody (police this is just a day dream i would never actually do this don't come for me), imagine being able to socialize, imagine doing sm heroic, imagine being a character in one of my favourite shows, ya know the usual, i also use character ai a lot.. and i don't really pay attention to my surroundings, my desk is kinda filled with trash, people say i should take care of it but honestly the clutter kinda makes it feel more cozy if i'm being honest, but ya idk what more to put here
• Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about? i'd think about an escape plan for this empty room, also why am i in a mental facility, did i go crazy? or do people just think i'm crazy.. if i killed that one person that one time instead of being a good person would my life go better (again police this is just thoughts i would never actually kill anyone don't come for me) i'd probably make an oc and an entire cast of characters and day dream about being a part of that fictional world, i'd probably come up with a bunch of cool ideas and theories that in practice will never be useful/won't mean anything... so ya, also i'd try and break the wall of that empty room to break out, hopefully not breaking my hand in the process....
• How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it? the thing is i always know what i want but until i've decided ya i'm going through with this option all the way, i'll always try and find ways that the other options could be better, then get mad when one of the other options are better than my preferred option, but once i've made up my mind for sure, i normally don't like to change it even if i want to bc it feels like that decision became part of my identity or sm along those lines
• How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life? uhh.... so i do understand my own emotions very well most of the time, but at the same time... emotions can go kill themselves, i wish they didn't exist, and my life would be so much better if i didn't feel anything, and i also find other peoples emotions annoying, all and all.. emotions suck that's all i have to so
• Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why? well most of the time if i think somebody is wrong i'll tell them that their wrong, and well with most things i'll explain why their wrong, tho if their making a statement about me or sm, i might explain why their wrong but i might also just be like "your wrong and i don't have to explain anything", but sometimes when it's a subject i don't really wanna say anything about i will just agree, if it's sm i don't really want anyone to know any of my real opinions or thoughts on... but ya
• Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why? i'll break any rules i think i can get away with, tho if i don't believe i can or there's a possibility of consequences i'm normally pretty cautious of it... and ya i think authority isn't always right, and not all rules should be followed, some are stupid and some are plan wrong, and i will break rules if i think i know better, i think the rule is stupid, or a genuinely don't care about said rule, tho i know how far i can go there's some lines i won't cross bc i know their's gonna be bad consequences
anyways thank you for listening to my rant i know i did a lot of yapping and i didn't go back to see if it was written nicely, if you where able to read all dat your a legend bc i know i would give up after the first 2 paragraphs, and if you have any questions that you need me to elaborate on before you can type me go ahead

2024.05.14 00:54 LeArquebusier The europoors are not the noble savages I envisioned

They are just as screen addicted and clueless about sharing public space as the worst Americans. Seems they eat like shit too and never drink water. The popular music is derivative of anglo rock or Latin styles. Michael Jordan jerseys are still everywhere in Barcelona even though the Olympics were 32 years ago.
I will say that the children love to play outside and college kids seem way less anxious (could be selection bias though).

2024.05.13 23:32 RestlessAmbitions With the COPA Case Lost for CSW, is there any Future for BSV?

Title says it all.
BSV is nice for the instant transactions and I would consider myself to be pro rule-of-law so the court ordered reassignments aspect is not particularly off-putting to me. I don't do illegal things. I do have some questions as to how that will play out in reality, however.
Is there any successful future for this?
CSW legally being determined as a fraud is damning to the case for BSV. I don't see much coming out of this ecosystem for as much as people like to talk about building. CraigWright.net has transitioned to a splash screen that simply says

“There’s more work to do on Enterprise Blockchain”

- Dr. Craig S. Wright

Uh... yeah, a ton more work to do from the look of things.
What will they even discuss at the coingeek conference next week?
Been losing the fight for recognition completely for 6+ years now.
It's exhausting to have placed any amount of faith in this project. Clearly the crypto space is majority fraud, but just because people are decrying fraud doesn't mean they are honest.

2024.05.13 23:02 SanderSo47 Weekend Actuals for May 10-12 – 'Apes' Conquer the Box Office

Weekend Actuals for May 10-12 – 'Apes' Conquer the Box Office
https://preview.redd.it/3fbcmrfpc90d1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=035c1ef66f3334c34425df0cc438efa1473a9f07
The audience was more than ready to return to the Planet of the Apes.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes topped the box office and showed there's still life in the reboot franchise even with the death of its lead character. And while it wasn't the film to kick off the summer season, it sure felt like it. There were two other newcomers, Not Another Church Movie and Poolman, and both had awful debuts.

The Top 10 earned a combined $89.5 million this weekend. That's off 5.9% from last year, when Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 stayed at #1.

Debuting on first place, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes opened with $58.4 million in 4,075 theaters. That marks the second highest debut in the reboot franchise, just behind Dawn ($72.6 million). It's also beneath Tim Burton's reviled version ($68.5 million), but that's not really a downside.

The fact that it opened higher than War ($56.2 million) is impressive, considering that film opened in the lucrative July month where people had more free time. Even more impressive is the fact that it could achieve it without its lead character Caesar. But credit has to go to Disney and 20th Century Studios for offering something worth watching in theaters.

To differentiate it from the previous films, Kingdom chose to jump 200-300 years from the previous film, which allowed for some creative freedom. The audience could now see a Planet of the Apes film where the apes are the ruling species, which deviated from the previous films establishing that humans could still fight apes. This in turn could also lead to new audiences; the massive time jump meant that people could watch the film without having to watch the previous films. With pretty good reviews, it was a sign that the franchise was worth continuing.

According to 20th Century Studios, 64% of the audience was male and 57% of the audience was in the 18-34 demographic. Critics liked the film, but there's a twist with the audience's reception. The film received a "B" on CinemaScore, far below the previous film and suggesting lukewarm word-of-mouth. Deadline said that 85% of the CinemaScore audience gave the film an A or a B, while the rest went as low as C and D. It's tough to predict its legs, so we'll have to wait until the second weekend drop to see how much effect it has. As long as the film does not drop higher than War (62.9%), that should be considered a win.

Last week's champ The Fall Guy dropped to second place with a $13.6 million weekend. That 51% drop is fine, but it's still not enough to offset disappointment. Through ten days, the film has earned a meager $49.6 million, and it's guaranteed to finish below $100 million, which makes it even more disappointing considering this opened the summer season.

In third place, Challengers eased 43% and earned $4.3 million. That takes its domestic total to $37.7 million, and with the competitive summer season coming up, it looks like $50 million is out of reach by this point.

Sony's horror film Tarot earned $3.4 million. That represents a 48% drop, which is good considering its putrid reaction, although that's not saying much considering how low it opened last week. Through ten days, the film has made $11.9 million, and it will face The Strangers: Chapter 1 next week.

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire dropped 42% and added $2.6 million. Its domestic total is now $191.9 million, but this pretty much confirms the film will finish below the $200 million milestone. Looks like Godzilla will still be the MonsterVerse's highest grossing film 10 years later.

After its awful drop last week, Unsung Hero recovered this weekend, easing 15% and grossing $2.5 million. Its Sunday was boosted by Mother's Day, as the film jumped 36% from its previous Sunday. The film has made $17 million so far.

Kung Fu Panda was in seventh place, easing 27% and adding $1.8 million. Its domestic total is $191 million, and it will certainly be impacted with the arrival of IF and The Garfield Movie now.

A24's Civil War dipped 49% and earned $1.8 million. That takes its domestic total to $65.2 million.

Unsurprisingly, the re-release of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace lost so much interest after its first weekend. The film made $1.4 million this weekend, marking a colossal 84% second weekend drop, one of the biggest in history. With this, the film's lifetime gross is now $486 million.

Rounding up the Top Ten is Universal's Abigail, which continues bleeding audience. The film dropped 51% for a $1.1 million weekend. Its domestic total is now $24.7 million, and it's now officially losing to Radio Silence's Ready or Not ($28.7 million).

There was another release, Briarcliff's spoof movie Not Another Church Movie. And it was pretty much ignored, as the film earned just $360,000 in 1,100 theaters (a disastrous $325 per-theater average). This will fall like a rock quickly.

Another disastrous release was Chris Pine's directorial debut Poolman. It opened in 162 theaters, but it made an awful $131,000 ($809 per-theater average). That shouldn't come as a surprise; it had a terrible premiere at TIFF last year, where it got widely panned. Will Chris give it another go at the director's chair?

OVERSEAS

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes also conquered the box office overseas. It debuted with $72.5 million in 52 markets, for a $130.9 million worldwide debut. Its best debuts were in China ($11.4M), France ($7.1M), Mexico ($6.4M), UK ($4.8M), Korea ($3.2M), Australia ($2.7M), Brazil ($2.6M), Germany ($2.2M), Spain ($2.2M) and Indonesia ($1.9M). The China numbers were underwhelming, but it performed strongly in Latin America. Let's see how it goes in the following weeks.

In a notable milestone, A24's Civil War has hit $100 million worldwide, becoming the studio's second film to hit that mark. It's currently sitting at $107 million so far.

The Garfield Movie added $11.2 million this week, taking its overseas total to $36 million. Mexico remains its best market at $12.5 million, while the film had an okay $2.1 million start in Germany. It continues expanding this week, before hitting North America.

The Fall Guy fell to $9.4 million overseas (a 54% drop), taking its worldwide total to just $103.7 million after two weeks. Its best markets are the UK ($8.3M), Australia ($6.6M), Mexico ($3.6M), Germany ($3.4M) and France ($3.4M). It still has China and Japan left, but don't expect those markets to save it.

IF had early premieres in a few markets, earning $3.2 million. It debuted in France with $3.3 million, but it had a soft start in Belgium ($300K). Its international run expands this week.

MOVIES THAT ENDED THEIR RUN THIS WEEK

None.

THIS WEEKEND

We've got three wide releases.

The first is Paramount's IF, which marks John Krasinski's directorial follow-up to A Quiet Place. It stars Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds, Krasinski, Fiona Shaw, along with the voices of Steve Carell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, Maya Rudolph, Jon Stewart, Sam Rockwell, Sebastian Maniscalco, Christopher Meloni, Richard Jenkins, Awkwafina, John Krasinski, Blake Lively, George Clooney, Matthew Rhys, Bradley Cooper, Amy Schumer, Keegan-Michael Key and Vince Vaughn. Its plot follows a young girl and her neighbor who find themselves able to see imaginary friends. Reynolds is one of the world's most popular actors today, and there hasn't been a remarkable family film since Kung Fu Panda 4, so maybe this could surprise. Although it will compete the following week with The Garfield Movie for the family demo.

The second is Lionsgate's The Strangers: Chapter 1, and is the first part of a trilogy (all directed by Renny Harlin). Horror could take a win, considering the genre has been performing very badly this year. But is The Strangers the answer to that?

And the last one is Focus Features' Back to Black, a biopic focused on Amy Winehouse's life. The film has attracted controversy since its announcement, especially because Winehouse's father was involved (if you know her life, you'll understand why this is not well received). It already opened in a few markets, including the UK, and it has amassed $32 million so far. With this kind of bad buzz and weak reviews, don't be surprised if the film is front-loaded.

Hiya folks.
I'm finishing up my librarian masters programme, and my coursemate and I thought it would be fun to get some commemorative placards for a desk with a couple of languages words for librarian (or their equivalent words).
Some are easy, if they're in Latin script, but a few other we want to try to get ensure a level of accuracy (Chinese, Arabic, etc). Anyway, we thought it'd be fun to add in Old Norse OR any runic variety. In my searching I can deduce that the modern Icelandic word used is Bókavörður. We're unsure whether it'd be better to seek out the Icelandic Runes, or some Younger Futhark (which my friend says they THINK is this ᛒᚢᚴᛅᚢᛅᚱᚦᚱ)
Any advice or guidance before we commit to this plan would be appreciated!
