My place of happiness @decaffeinatedlandwhispers - Tumblr Blog

the older i get and the closer i am to reaching 30, the more the people around me try to deny me my age. it’s a constant ‘oh you’re just turning 29 again teehee 🤭’ or ‘dont tell your SO that, he’ll leave you for a younger model 😉’ and i just???? hate it?????????

i spent my entire teenaged years fighting for my life. i crawled through the deepest pits of my depression to cling to the promise of a life beyond that pain. i was so convinced that i was going to die young, that i would never see the grace of my age starting with a 2, let alone 3.

so im going to turn 30, and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do to stop me from loving it.

as soon as i figure out whether there’s any practical difference between ‘that’ and ‘which’ in a sentence, you’re all finished

lytefoot

“That” is if the clause specifies which one, “which” is if you’re giving extra information.

“She took the bag that contains the loot” means that she took one of several bags, in particular, the one that happens to contain the loot.

“She took the bag, which contains the loot” means that there’s only one bag you might be referring to, and that the fact that she took it is important because it contains the loot.

Also, there’s a comma before “which” but not before “that.”

Guide to Figuring out the Age of an Undated World Map.

No but take the time to actually read it because I lost like 15 minutes.

I have a friend who is really good at this type of thing. He once found an old globe at a garage sale and he was able to pin the date of it’s making down to like a 6 month window, because it only would’ve been correct during a specific point in WWII.

I was mad impressed, because I have no mind for geography. I can barely remember my own state’s capitol.

I didn’t know anything about the giant lake in California being created by accident?!

I love how it differentiates the maps of Narnia based on which book you’re looking at

I almost scrolled past this

Based on how close they were to the ground there’s no way that body of water was the Baltic Sea. It is absolutely massive you can’t see the whole thing like that from a plane window that low to the ground. That’s a lake at best

I understand that the image chosen was not the actual Baltic Sea, but I think it is still what they were seeking to convey. Red explained to Liz that he chose the location for his operations because he had already seen her scar and then he saw the sea on a map:

Its shape was so clear in my memory. As if I’d seen it before. And then, one day, there it was on a map, not a perfect match, but eerily close. It became the symbol of the most important aspect of my business, an image representing the danger you faced, and the promise to protect you from it. And this is where it all began. Along the banks of the sea it resembles.

That’s the symbol. Shaped liked the Baltic Sea with the different countries, as it would be on a map. And ironically called Baltic's Best Seafood Distributor.

And the dots on the symbol are the cities, no? Riga, and two others whose names escape me.

I found it very artistic how she saw it from the plane window and held up her scar to it. It’s such a cool image. I can understand if tptb bent the rules of reality to make that work.

That was an amazing catch Aly! I hope next season will involve all the intrigue surrounding Red’s spy network! Still wondering how Gina ended up with a box with that symbol

The dots on the map should not be the cities, they are wildly misplaced in that case😉

Watching this logo supposedly made to resemble the Baltic Sea makes me a bit annoyed. They could have made it much more realistic by saying it’s a lake (then they would have gotten away with the view from the plane to).

But on the other hand, I know the reason for my annoyance with the logo is because I live in one of those countries. I get that it’s a front -and fiction- but for me it has a bit too much feeling of “poorly researched because it is something nonAmerican”.
