I don’t get what you’re saying. We have strong thunderstorms but nothing on the order of hurricanes or cyclones. The city I live in is called the city of eternal spring because the weather is always spring like. Sunny and mild.

Seasonal depression comes from the lack of light in winter at higher latitudes. My days are 12 hours of sun (+- 30 minutes) every day all year round.

I used to have seasonal depression. Then I moved to a tropical country on the equator.

Now I just have regular depression.

Peter Stormare has been playing Russian villains for decades and he’s Swedish.

Really any eastern european will work. It’s not like we americans usually know what foreign language is being spoken.

Plex used to not be that way. Then they enshittified.

In front of my house is a mango tree. My house is white. Also there are lots of bats in the neighborhood.

Needless to say, I wish I had an Alfred.

That’s my birthday!

According to the international phonetic alphabet they’re the same sound.

Sit close to me vs close the door

Even the second one isn’t pronounced the same. Some accents drop the th sound in clothes which is why they can sound similar.

Having to explain to my spanish speaking friends why an english word is spelled one way but pronounced another entirely different way gave me the same experience. So many times i have to tell them: “i don’t know english is just weird.”

spend all that money in a lifetime

In thousands of lifetimes. 1,000,000 per year is a stupid amount of money to live on. If you “only” spent $1,000,000 a year you could live on 250billion for 250,000 years. That isn’t including any interest accrued.

People constantly underestimate how large a billion actually is.

My best friend is Victor Frankenstein is how I read it.

So are chickpeas or edamame meat to you? Because they have like 5 times as much protein by weight than mushrooms.

One of Pablo Escobar’s lieutenants was nicknamed Popeye. When i first heard it pronounced in spanish I was so confused. To make it even funnier, here in Medellin y’s are pronounced like j’s so here his name is Poh-pay-jay.
