What Are You Doing Right Now? (1,911 Viewers)

must be lovely to be blessed with a mind as yours. just the sheer thought of how hard i work to fathom anything.

let's not forget that you're danish, so you're handicapped with that accent and you have to work hard to overcome it.

also, i've been somewhat fanatical about this in the last 3 years or so. spent a lot of effort on italian and then i went to a bunch of related languages to the ones i knew to try and crack the code. and it can be done.

never understood spoken danish in my entire life, then i listened to an audiobook or two, at first it was just noise, and by the end of it i could follow it quite well. because of how wacky danish is i still have to warm up somewhat before i can follow it properly though (and a simple accent variation could easily defeat me).

Any takers?

im very proud of my non-danish accent when i speak english. My x-girlfriend (merican) thought i was bristish when i met her.

but yeah, danish is one shitty language. sounds like the disgusting sexual relationship between Holland and Germany -funny enough its the mother of all scandinavian languages. hard as hell to get the grasp of since the only rule is: "is just how it sounds".

still impressive tho. i shud spend less time with the mathematics and more time with dem language.

you see? you're one of the few.

but yeah, danish is one $#@!ty language. sounds like the disgusting sexual relationship between Holland and Germany -funny enough its the mother of all scandinavian languages. hard as hell to get the grasp of since the only rule is: "is just how it sounds".

yeah, that's fascinating. how something so messed up can lay the foundation for new languages that sound much more sane. some people call danish a language without consonants cause it's like one long gradient where nothing ever becomes distinct, just one long syllable is a sentence. still, once you get some of it it can sound kinda cool at times. all languages seem to have this (even german).

still impressive tho. i shud spend less time with the mathematics and more time with dem language.

what do you do with math?

Apple joke I overheard today:

Q: "How many Apple users does it take to change a light bulb?"
A: "None—when the bulb goes, they just change the house."

Would it be worth it, though?

Sure, you'd speak heaps of languages and have awesome fashion sense, but you'd be bored by football.

Had a curry and a few beers and now struggling to think of anything other than Aberdeen-Celtic tomorrow.

We go top of the league with a win.

Clearly, to follow Apple's lead, I need to patent the electronic dump.

LOL, I was reading that, thinking, wtf legit or I am reading a disguised The Onion spoof, then read the bit that goes "(This is where readers are probably checking the URL of this article to make sure it’s The New York Times and not The Onion.)"
