I know it’s an unpopular opinion given current circumstances, but I’ve always been a huge nerd about Russia. The history, the geography, the music, etc. And as an American, I’ve always found it fascinating how U.S.-Russian relations have fluctuated over time. We’ve gone from allies, to enemies, to frenemies. This doesn’t mean I support Z or Putin, of course. What are you a nerd about?
Preaching the use of GNU/Linux & GPG. Only had one or two takers. Both I built and maintained for. I’m married to one and the other lives an hour drive away and I don’t drive.
No one listens. No one ever listens bar my wife. I’m offering free computers in exchange for practicing the art of preaching. No one has even accepted it bar my wife. facepalm We’re all gonna die very very soon now.
We’re all gonna die very very soon now.
On a cosmic scale, that’s been true for all of human history.
I’m a bit of a grammar/language nerd-- I think it’s interesting to see the different structures of languages and the various ways concepts get communicated. Also by looking at what’s on the level of single words you can get an idea about what’s important culturally.
For example in Japanese, there’s not really a word for brother or sister, you always have to say olderbrother or youngerbrother. That’s because the hierarchy of ages was important enough culturally to get codified into the language.
