Re: English thread

Why do all non-native English threads sound so uhhh non-native? Idk maybe I spend too much time on reddit

What's English for "приосаниваться"?:)

FFS such a nice inclusive thread for everyone to be able to practice, and there are no chance that there won't be some pretentious fucktard like that.

What is its name?

I think it was The Chosen End, but it was so long ago, I don't actually remember if the part about guns was there or in some other fic.

You know pikabu?

I read something there when yandex give me a link but I don't know how to use it, to start a new topic or to search something interesting.

Re: English thread

reddit

I can't understand how it works. Is it a forum?

It's... kinda forumish. Basically, it functions like communities on diary (and there are "personal" "diaries" too but they're much less used). There is an address like reddit/cats and that's a community about cats. You get the account, you go to r/cats, click "create new post" button and write/attach some shit there. Bam, your post is now on the main page of r/cats and everyone subscribed to it can see it in their dashboard. Or everyone who browses r/cats.

There is also a thing called karma, it's basically likes or dislikes, people can upvote or downvote other people's posts and comments. There are a few ways of sorting content - by upvotes (from most popular to least popular), by date, by "hotness" (when about the same amount of people upvotes and downvotes and does it actively, it means it's about something controversial usually). So you accumulate karma when posting and commenting. It does nothing except inflates your ego and sometimes allows you to post in a subreddit with spam defense if your account is new.

And that's it. You subscribe to some interesting communities (subreddits) and then post and comment there and farm your karma. Happy farming.

Somewhat. You can post and comment on various subreddits and up/downvote posts and comments. Posts sink and get archived but don't disappear. That's all there is to it, really. Lurk moar and you'll get the hang of it eventually.

Re: English thread

I distinctly remember discovering ao3 and devouring English fics like crazy in high school, bumping up my vocabulary tremendously. We someties played Scrabble in my English classes and I usually won every time thinking oh how smart I was and oh how educated through unconventional ways. Surprise, motherfucker, you just had an unhealthy obsession and a superiority complex.

Well, as unhealthy obsessions come this one is at least useful.

Re: English thread

My unhealthy obsession helped me survive stressful job and emotional burn out so I don't mind it let it stay for long

Re: English thread

Is there such a thing as a _healthy_ obsession?

Анон

Re: English thread

Is there such a thing as a _healthy_ obsession?

Obsession with healthy lifestyle maybe?

Анон

Re: English thread

If obsession is a scale, an unhealthy obsession is on its extreme level.

Nope. There is such a thing as orthorexia, for example, and it's definitely not healthy (it's an obsession with eating only healthy food etc).
