"Poor Lula: when it's not that Eastern Europe beggar pestering him to Venmo some cash, it is the ass-kissers of the United Devastates busting his balls."
"'Ha ha' and 'he he' signify laughter in Latin and in English, because they are cried out when laughing."
Wonderful evidence here in Ælfric's Grammar that 'ha ha' has been the sound and spelling of laughter in English since at least the 11th century and the Old English period.

there are so many beautiful men of different sizes I really don't understand this obsession with height. yeah a tall man is hot but but there are other things that are hot too
to all those oomfies saying an AI would never translate it well, I thank you for your kindness
unfortunately it appears that we, the quick, in our mortal, flawed joy, cannot but instruct the robots
it's so over

lembrando que quase matei minha prof de tradução de rir quando tínhamos que traduzir a descrição de um óculos de natação com borrachinha de "cushion sealing type". brainstorm de várias traduções/sinônimos pra "type" "cushion" etc até que sugeri "almofada em formato de foca".

gente nao consigo parar de rir. que coisa aleatória. fala "goto de bincá de casinha" depois vem um monte de subjuntivo perfeito.
mas adorei o nome "coisa".

This is a great story but the word "unused" now gave me the mental image of someone trying to donate used make-up, like rubbing their lipstick onto a napkin and giving it to someone

But when you say "imagine" it sounds like something very farfetched and counterfactual when Dutch colonialism was a thing so we don't need to imagine much

When are they going to set an upper limit of hormones dor cis men? When is a men so different from other men that he's too powerful to compete fairly?
I's almost like these people think being female is some sort of disability and maleness is just unlimited power...
@HollywoodHandle
Wait what happened between these?
And the way this is shot, with her on the left of the frame looking right and then we see her on the right of the frame, looks like she got into the car to find herself!
@KatyMontgomerie
@meganniathomas
This framing clearly reveals that these people think of female and male as beings on a scale of power/testosterone, where male begins at a certain point at the scale but never ends, but female is defined as lower than X.

Either that or write clear headings and have the point of each paragraph in the topic sentence, as we teach students to read abstract + headings + conclusion + topic sentences first.
Yes, there is an account who starts a new thread every year summarising each day's main discourse on Brazilian twitter, written in weird headlinese and treacherously oblique references, so of course I take up the challenge to translate those into something approaching coherence

Wait, the D-Day landing was adventurous and exciting? Is that why they did it?
I don't know, I don't wear dresses, but I'd imagine it's more exciting than being shot in the head on a beach.
What we are witnessing today is a result of a period of 40 years of managed decline. Deteriorating social conditions, public services, no affordable homes being built, crime rates going through the roof, justice system overwhelmed, prisons overcrowded, effluent being pumped 1/5

The Soviet Union doesn't exist so it would be hard.
But Brazil, technically a third world country, and part of the BRICS with Russia and China, ranks as one of the highest countries in the world in LGBT rights, especially trans rights.
@DefraGovUK
Can we get a pronunciation guide for this new name? If you're going to do these woke politically motivated changes you can at least help people?!
Is CHA pronounced TCHA as in CHANGE or as KA as in CHARACTER?
What about stress? Is it CHAR-les or char-LES?
Is III "eye eye eye"?
thats why I don't feel sorry for this incel who nuts vegan cum. serves him well when he's bullied for being no better than watery spunk. his crumble testicles dont miss a chance to pile hate on others but always plays the victim hes the ultimate water supplement, pussy sanitizer
por isso eu não tenho pena desse incel de porra vegana e acho mais que justo quando tocam na ferida dele pelo fato de ser um gala rala, esse testículo de paçoca não perde uma chance de atrair hate pros outros mas vive se vitimizando, eterno vitamina de água anti séptico de xota

thread with all my translations of tweets by the amanuensis of the shadow realm (aka twitter)
woman snaps back by saying "gays think that a party that smells like sweaty buttholes and poppers can frighten a woman forged by violence from the first" and is asked if there are any brocialist dicks needing to be sucked, in another edition of Good Morning Misogyny

It looks terrifying, like those Handmaid's Tale that always put me on edge. But Ron Swanson's voice saying "God Bless America" like he just got a huge breakfast meal is probably gonna give me some good laughs
Since having deemed this untranslatable, I have been translating it as "Psych Ward Ultras" (not punny, but it works), but it could always be something more obscure like "the Millwall Bush-wackos", "the Goners", or "Service Crewckos" or just "a Loonygan Firm"
"I want him to fuck me like I am a French trade union, he can take out on me all the anger collective bargaining has stirred in him. I look back and say "let's take another 10 hours off the workweek" and his thrusts get so hard they trigger the Paris earthquake alert."
@joolsd
I find it quintessentially 20th century. The sort of things existentialists dealt with but has gone out of fashion. Half of post-war art cinema is about this

Here's your answer. Older bisexual people repressed the full range of their attraction, got married to the opposite sex, and are not comfortable identifying as bi for a myriad of personal reasons.
Most of this thread is laughing at the fact that French titles add the word SEX almost every time. Brazil does that with LOVE.
For ex, how would you know that THE HOLIDAY is a rom com just from that title?
So: LOVE DOESN'T TAKE HOLIDAYS
there's more 🧵
for some *ridiculous* reason the french love to translate movie titles from english to... english
here's a thread with my all-time favorites, starting with "the hangover"

So perhaps the gap here will be closed by both sides meeting in the middle. That would be very good! Almost certainly better for solution cohesion than one side doing all the legwork.
Time will tell.

It's funny because I just checked Wikipedia and it says one of the criteria is "the influence of foreign powers on government". I wonder if it adds or subtracts points...

Não é um detalhe. Essa é a principal realidade que os gringos não entendem. Provavelmente acham que nem existiam alemães antes da segunda guerra; que eles brotaram do chão em 39 junto com o nazismo.
It's the weirdest thing, but it totally reveals their misunderstanding of what "human rights" are. Homophobes are still human and have rights. The right not to be murdered, for example. Human rights have NO exceptions, that's why it's called that!
lula's cock is no longer splayed on the table; he of course has already put it away, but the dent formed there by the heft of the massive phallic instrument flaunting such capacious corpora cavernosa still lingers and will echo on for ages.
a pomba de lula não esta mais sobre a mesa claro ele já guardou mas o amassado que ficou com o peso do instrumento fálico gigantesco de calibrosos corpos cavernosos quando caiu ainda está lá e reverberará por décadas
