Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling, but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are with what you have… just start.

in china, it's very common for people to order at restaurants in perfect mandarin, so the waitstaff are always too shocked to get anything done

Due to arguments about how to fansub this line, I have determined this should be a nice middle ground.

[ayeforscotland]

Gaidhlig and Scots become official languages in Scotland today with the Scottish Languages Act coming into force after it was voted on back in June.

Key parts of the legislation includes the right for parents to request Gaelic schools for their local area, and will help with standardisation of language teaching across the board.

Good signs for the future. In the future would be very interested to see parents (and everyone else) getting access to the same learning materials so they can learn alongside their kids.

how to say “i’m not doing your job for you” but in a professional email voice

[heathyr]

thank you for your responses, they are very helpful. the context is the person i am emailing (this is someone outside my workplace) is asking me to remind them to do something a month from now, when it is entirely their job to do the thing i inquired about. this person WORKS IN THE GOVERNMENT and apparently doesnt know how to mark something on their calendar and is trying to offput the mental burden of reminding them to do something on me.

this is a person who has been directly rude to me on the phone and via email before.

it would be easy for me to schedule a reminder email for them, but i’m being petty.

this is a power play and i want to win 🙂

[heathyr]

she ignored my email and asked me to remind her to do the thing in February now

[heathyr]

i won this btw 🙂

Descriptions are a mere boondoggle, but AUTO DUBBING? Upscaling???? Isn't this a violation of IP consent?

#google translate does not capture the tone switch so i have to say. first two sentences are like. normal maybe kind of feminine posting tone #& the last is like. shounen manga protagonist. action movie hero. jojo's bizarre adventure character. #the tone you would use if you were holding a gun with the safety off (– @chadlesbianjasontodd)

[minothtime]

Basically, a translation could be:

I just think it's so interesting that people end up falling in love with their friends' boyfriends! I absolutely despise every single one of them. give me my fucking homie back you goddamn bastard

[liminalweirdo]

translation tags by @minothtime because they are so so good

[uovoc]

brands usually try to choose transliterated names that have nice poetic connotations, like Google (谷歌/guge/"valley song"), but not all brands will bother to come up with a transliteration, so they get auto-assigned one by The Public, which doesn't care about PR and also has a sense of humor, and thus the official unofficial names include:

Trader Joe's - 缺德舅/quede jiu/"rotten uncle"

Whole Foods - 猴父子/hou fuzi/"monkey father and son"

Costco - 抠死抠/kousikou/"stingy as hell"

gotta love little differences like this: the english realization-interjection is "ohh", the german one is "ahhh"
