I have a ton of different Nintendo consoles and lots of gameboy color cartridges for that reason. Good thing I collected them like 8 years ago because they are stupid expensive now

You sound odd, like a child or someone not fluent if you don’t use our misuse the genders of words.

That being said, as native Spanish that lived in the UK for a while, I noticed that genders and verb forms are useful for providing more context when talking.

Cannot think of specific examples now, but in general in a phrase if you don’t hear a word or don’t know the meaning, it is easier to guess it because the rest of the phrase is constructed around the gender and more complex verbal forms.

I did read the first one and liked it a lot, I wanted to continue the series but other stuff gets in the way and recently I’ve been more into gaming than reading 😭

Aside from the accurate list you posted, I felt similarities as well with hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy.

Sleeping with some light (the blinds not shut completely) was a cause for me, along with stress. No light, not able to see anything waking up, no eldritch horrors in the room and I probably fall asleep again.

where I live there are shops for laptop, console and phone repairs. I’d keep it simple and go to one of those

“coger” means fuck in latin america, but not in Spain where we use it as “grab/pick” normally. It causes fun reactions to latinamericans visiting or living in Spain for sure as it’s used a lot.

“correr” is also “run” in Spanish, we share a lot of words with Portuguese . 🇵🇹

slang but not new slang as it’s widely used and it’s even in the RAE dictionary (31 point).

Seemingly used in central america, Argentina, Bolivia, México, Uruguay, Venezuela and Dominican Republic.

I’m not sure if it’s your style, but search for Extremoduro or Estopa. I’ll link something later if I remember

yep, people blinded by rage invest more time to flood places with their message. Sometimes with bots or multi accounts, which… well, speaks for itself how sad it is.

And also that making up facts for discussion takes less time to do than a proper argumentation

I have a folder of very random pictures on my phone just to add as WhatsApp group images when I’m invited to one 👌

Not all birds are dumb, you have parrots there, so a bit of a bad comparison

When I was younger, I also though I’d be cool to work in America, but once you learn a bit about their conditions, it’s a big nope. Much better lifestyle in small cities with an average salary in EU and the 23 days vacation + 13 - 14 bank holidays. Mental health checks out. 😄

About the Prod on calls, even if you “volunteer”, depending on the country and kind of job, they have to paid those “on call” hours even if there’s no calls at the end, and if there’s work required, the pay is higher.

I’m like you, I wouldn’t exchange my free time no matter what. 🤘
