If you genuinely enjoy being alone, do you ever wonder if it is an inherent part of your character or if it stems from feeling inescapably lonely in the first place until you taught yourself to enjoy the peace and happiness one can find in solitude? what if the reason you now prefer & choose solitude at every turn is because you were a very lonely child, or teenager, not by your own choice, and that’s how you learnt to thrive and grow, so you no longer know if you can do that around people? There might also be an element of personal pride, an unconscious “you can’t fire me I quit” point when your brain decided to switch your feelings about solitude from distress to relief. I often find myself defending my love of being alone, to people who worry that I can’t possibly be happy to live in an isolated house in the woods; I insist that I do! I really do specifically enjoy the isolated factor and chose to live here because of it, but then I wonder how to differentiate an ingrained love of solitude from an acquired ability to thrive off unchosen loneliness, to learn from it and be nourished by it; to what extent it might be a form of contentment built on a bedrock of resignation.

i’m sorry i’m laughing but this gif set is usually paired with Anakin being a good kind person which makes it sad, but a perspective of Obi Wan telling Luke blatant lies is hilarious

verschlimmern = to make worse

verbessern = to improve

verschlimmbessern = to disimprove

[blabla2024-1-deactivated2024011]

ok wait… what about “kaputtreparieren” ?

[thatswhywelovegermany]

kaputt = broken

reparieren = to repair

kaputtreparieren = to completely destroy something that was only slightly damaged in a failed attempt to fix it

Can confirm - these are words of my German-speaking childhood. Although my fave will forever be the “Backpfeifengesicht”

Backpfeife (also “aka Ohrpfeife”) = face slap (a hit that makes your ears whistle)

Gesicht = face

Backpfeifengesicht = a face just there to be slapped…

[alistrawrites-deactivated202301]

Can confirm.

If you prefer a visual representation of verschlimmbessern, it probably looks like this:

I trust you. If you think this is what we should be doing, then I’m with you. For better or worse.

So I’m at a library in a town I don’t live in to spend time with my nieces and I go to the bathroom and see this sign.

They turned their old card catalog into free supplies people can discretely take on their own.

This is the coolest thing ever, a great way to help people without making them ask, and an amazing reuse of a the card catalog. I’m seriously about to cry I love it so much.

[bananapeppers]

text of sign:

Need a tampon? Struggle to get hygiene products at home?

Visit APL’s

Comfort Cabinet

Located in the card catalog between the Indiana Room and Adult Fiction.

Offering free: Tampons/Pads/Liners Deodorant Toothbrushes/Toothpaste Combs and more!

Whenever someone tries to claim that evolution is a lie, I send them a picture of platybelodon.

1. It’s an excellent example of transitional evolution.

2. It’s a mess who would intentionally do this and why

3. It makes them piss themselves a little.

“Evolution is just a theory-”

I couldn’t help but wonder what this absolute bastard of a skull would look like, and

I was not disappointed. But I was terrified.
