@brainwane @mattl

the classic 'scratch your own itch' self-directed development model falls down when the people making stuff aren't representative of the people using/reading/watching/consuming it

sometimes expending effort to help people with different needs is actually good :D and we need to figure out a sustainable way to model that on both large and small projects

@brainwane @mattl

it's interesting because my first reaction to the idea is 'that's awful, i don't want/need that, i'd rather have text' but............. IT'S NOT FOR ME IS IT :D

switch the endings of Friends and Seinfeld

Seinfeld oder nicht Seinfeld: das ist die Frage

our books still had references to east germany

i think by high school german we had slightly newer books, like *right* after unification, but i only took one level of it because the german teacher (same lady as 6th grade) left the school district for a better paying community college job and the only other qualified german teacher in the district didn't want to teach it and was so depressed he would sometimes just slump at his desk and be sad while we did self study

i keep saying some day i'll brush up on my german

in 6th grade we had an introductory language course where over one semester we got a few weeks each of i think french, spanish, and german

the german teacher was a lovely woman from bavaria who had grown up in alabama

so she had a southern southern german accent

[to be fair this was the 90s, it really was only a few years after unification]
