Shout out to everyone who's chewing on clove oil like a teething Victorian baby.

You pump a man full of clove oil and vulture poison, they're liable to fuck some shit up. That's all I'm saying.

I've got clove oil in my gums and vulture poison in my veins. My belly's full of lemonade and Parkinson's drugs that I'm using off-label. I'm not allowed to use a straw, but I am allowed to use my fists.

And that movie is Shakespeare In Love.

I sometimes succumb to the urge to be a hater of a movie that I saw 20 years ago and nobody talks about anymore.

I am sometimes tempted by the urge to be a hater of a piece of media I haven't even consumed.

Has my Spanish gotten better? Or is everyone just inexplicably speaking easier Spanish around me?

I've lived in Uruguay for 51 weeks now, and while I'm not fluent, I can get around ok in Spanish now.

@evan My city doesn't, but the nation of Uruguay does! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chivito_(sandwich)

@evan I wish I could, but I can't because of the Horrors (PTSD).

@evan I spent a lot of time trying to invent concrete from first principles and mud/rocks I found outside.

@evan Mostly video game blorbos tbh.

@evan Yes, because 1) I might be wrong, and 2) even if I'm right, it's worth knowing why people think the way they do.

PRO TIP: if you want access to an academic paper, but you don't have a subscription to the journal, you can often get the paper for free by emailing one of the authors. There is nothing academics love more than people taking an interest in their nerd shit (affectionate).

Access to scientific journals should be free.

Wait, does "symphony orchestra" just mean "big orchestra"? Is that all that fucking means?

I keep trying to explain to my friends in the US that there are places where strangers are generally kind to each other, and I feel like the first fish to leave the ocean coming back to tell its friends about the stars.

@evan ✋🔺✋?

@evan Uruguay is on about 98% renewable energy, which is great for us! What's less great is that we are not immune to other effects of oil on the global economy.

@evan I mean, I've had top surgery now, but before that, hmmm... If the Pokemon people made binders, there would be a few I'd be tempted by.
