  • You’d be surpised at some of the foods which contain gluten. Take a vegetarian pizza, with some seitan on it? That’s pure gluten.

    And the nature of celiacs or non-celiac gluten sensitivity is such — annoyingly, that the symptoms take a while to show up, so it’s unlike say a proper food allergy or lactose intolerance, it’s much harder to actually reason about what you’ve eaten, when the symptoms can show up as late as several days afterwards.

    But yeah, ofc that’s not everyone and if it’s not you it’s not you. It just was for me, and now I’m kinda preachy about people trying exclusion diets just to be sure.





  • “The excess”

    Yeah no such thing.

    Imagine actually asking women if they prefer to have their clitoral hood intact or not.

    It’s biologically analogous, it’s the prepuce. Without it, your most sensitive part is constantly exposed to air and friction. Imagine what an eye would look like in 15 years if you were to cut someone’s eyelid off. It would dry and lose vision and just be overall horrible. The glans penis is mucosal as well, so there’d be similarities like keratinisation.

    Yes, I know. I’m Finnish and we were a bit further in mobile infra than the rest of the world, no offense.

    The joke works, but it works better when you don’t have to rely on actually committing to it.

    Am not as of care about anyone. Am as of care just about a nihilistic friend, and can’t even care as much to actually make it fit,

    What ever and everything heyooooo

    Edith 1 we used to be is as in “we were”,






  • Yeah I tried listening to Hungarian a few times and something in it is similar but I can’t make out even singular words, whereas with German or Spanish I can usually get the gist of what is being said, especially if it’s some simpler thing.

    But someone once showed a comparison text with lots of similar words and then I kinda got it better for just the while I was reading it but then nah, lost it.





  • Oh yeah, when you’re speaking Swedish I definitely notice a shift towards it more sounding like E, just like you said.

    I should visit Hungaria sometime.

    Apparently our native languages are both Finno-Ugric but man is it far. Like I understand pretty much all the PIE based European languages easier than Hungarian. Although sometimes reading it, I can’t make anything out before I use translate and then I can see the resemblance. But theres definitely large differences.

    I would like to visit Budapest someday.


  • cause ä is much closer to enough

    You man in like words like älska or älg? Sure that comes of as an “e” more.

    I’m Finnish so native is Finnish, which doesn’t really do pronunciation. I know a lot of languages say “they speak it as its written” but it genuinely is mostly true for Finnish. We have “phones” (except one, the velar nasal, used either only ng combination).

    If you look at this here wikipedia site

    Or this screenshotcap from it

    You’ll see how we use our vowels. I also do speak Swedish, but much less so as there’s never any need to.

    The example uses father (but shorter a) to showcase a and then cat and mad as examples of ä.

    Okay sure but “å” is actually an “o” sound.

    Using “ä” would be way closer. It’s the a you have in crash, ranch dressing, cat.

    As compared to to like posh British accent, an American would use more a “gräss”, and British posh person would use a low a graaasss.

    And you prolly didn’t even make it and this really doesn’t matter at all, I just spending time
