    Don’t learn Finnish I guess.

    No gendered pronouns and we honestly use “it” (se) as a pronoun. No, I would never use it in English unless I meant to purposefully dehumanise someone, but in Finnish it’s just the normal colloquial version of a personal pronoun, whereas “hän” is a 3rd person pronoun that’s more formal, (but also non-gendered) . Pets usually get to be referred to as “hän” with the more formal personal pronoun, weirdly enough.





  • 1337 also only works in English.

    What are you on about. It’s shortened from “elite.” You think that only works in English?

    Really?

    I’m not gonna format that but as you can see there’s quite a few languages which use essentially the same word, and thus it works quite as well.




  • Because mild but overmedicated cases are completely unheard of?

    Oh wait, no, they’re just not documented, unlike when inpatients misbehave.

    People who are not medicated enough are very easy to spot. People who are overmedicated are not, because they don’t make a fuzz.

    What are your feelings on lobotomy?
