Ask me about:
I’m not knowledgeable about most other things
The Chinese language doesn’t quite work that way as it is based almost solely on distinct characters…
I guess you can just keep compounding characters together. Just as a quick example, “[the] People’s Republic of China” is a 7-character word in Chinese with no breaks… it can go much, much longer as necessary, but I’m not sure if that counts, since it’s essentially just three words joined together (“China”, “People”, “Republic”)
Otherwise, the closest thing might be some of the longer Chinese idioms (“Chengyu”), although most Chengyus are only 4 characters long
Learning a language where you need to know how to write thousands of differently squiggles (with almost no rules whatsoever) to even communicate is difficult in its own way though
Two cats. Some of these are translated from my first language (I use it interchangeably with English with these two…)
The calico: Mew
The void: Tommy
Both:
Tommy is on a diet I promise
🐈⬛ 🐈⬛ 🐈⬛
My main social media app is Mastodon (technically Firefish which I will soon migrate to Iceshrimp… but those details are less relevant)
I consider Lemmy less so of a “social media” and more of a link aggregator/discussion forum… but yeah otherwise I try to use Lemmy a bit too. I still browse Reddit quite a lot, but only for individual communities that don’t have equivalents on Lemmy, and I no longer post there
I never used much social media to begin with tbh… I feel pretty decent about the Fediverse. Despite all the drawbacks (blocklists, fedi drama, etc), I think people collectively managed to make an objectively better social media platforms compared to the previous corporation-dominated ones (at least by my personal metrics)
Jokes on me, my cats can somehow recognize me from the sound of me walking up to the front door (and only me, not when anyone else is visiting)… No idea if anything can make them not recognize me
Oh god I also do this… See the comment below, I ran history|cut -d " " -f 5|sort|uniq -c|sort -nr|less
on my personal laptop, my third most commonly used command (behind ls
and cd
) is just typing in nothing…
clear
because apparently I am too scatterbrained to comprehend more than one full page of text in the terminal
Tommy does have yellow and green/blue eyes; the exact color seems to depend on lighting and the person
