well

2018-12-21 08:02:51 UTC  

it probably depends on your reading level

2018-12-21 08:03:23 UTC  

I got lazy with reading as a teenager

2018-12-21 08:03:58 UTC  

being part of this movement inspired me to start reading full books because I want to not because I have to

2018-12-21 08:04:06 UTC  

I never did that when I was younger

2018-12-21 08:04:19 UTC  

I did go on Wikipedia tangents though

2018-12-21 08:12:03 UTC  

Along the lines of most books needing to be read twice, I'd say the authors failed

2018-12-21 08:14:08 UTC  

I know that I *can* read a book twice and gain more, but for an author to expect anyone to read their book twice (luckily they did the first time), is bad strategy

2018-12-21 08:14:49 UTC  

I just forget stuff

2018-12-21 08:15:00 UTC  

and my reading comprehension isn't where it should be

2018-12-21 08:15:12 UTC  

probably higher than then average person

2018-12-21 08:15:36 UTC  

but lower than 🅱ig 🅱rained IE members

2018-12-21 08:16:18 UTC  

lol, to be fair my reading comp is sky high--but not my math score

2018-12-21 08:17:16 UTC

2018-12-21 08:29:05 UTC  

ahahaha the conversation I just witnessed in the train station

2018-12-21 08:29:20 UTC  

> where are you from, Russia?

2018-12-21 08:29:26 UTC  

*nods*

2018-12-21 08:29:37 UTC  

> where at in Russia?

2018-12-21 08:29:42 UTC  

> Ukraine

2018-12-21 08:30:49 UTC  

baste

I did some more digging on Trump's bump stock ban, this is apparently something he started promising he would do back in February. That makes me feel a bit better about it I guess. I sometimes wonder if him giving bones to the lefties like Crim. Justice reform + bump stock ban give him cover for things like withdrawing troops from Syria.

2018-12-21 11:57:45 UTC  

I'm literally in Odessa right now

2018-12-21 11:57:57 UTC  

just got a bit of internet connection

2018-12-21 12:00:59 UTC  

@Jacob nice! My dad went there a few times, he said it was beautiful. Are you with family?

2018-12-21 12:02:38 UTC  

oh, it's the Odessa in Washington, so probably not as exciting

2018-12-21 12:02:49 UTC  

though visiting Ukraine one day sounds fun

2018-12-21 12:36:15 UTC  

@Jacob LOL yeah very different

2018-12-21 12:51:51 UTC  

the girl sitting next to me was speaking Russian though

2018-12-21 12:52:03 UTC  

who knows, maybe she's from the original Odessa!

2018-12-21 13:05:39 UTC  

Ukrainian is an eastern Slavic language and sounds very similar to Russian.

2018-12-21 13:07:51 UTC  

My girlfriend is Serbian, and speaks it fluently. Sounds Russian, too

2018-12-21 13:08:10 UTC  

A lot of Slav languages are like that tbh

2018-12-21 13:08:16 UTC  

Mhm

2018-12-21 13:08:30 UTC  

Same with the Romance languages

2018-12-21 13:11:31 UTC  

Even if Trump gets the Wall, he will be sued out the ass for it

2018-12-21 13:12:00 UTC  

Peak 2019: a Trump appointed judge rules border wall unconstitutional

2018-12-21 13:15:24 UTC  

You can tell that women created Romance languages

2018-12-21 13:15:43 UTC  

The fact of the matter is if it does its out of his hands. He becomes a martyr to the people. Now he's just a betrayer. At this point it's not even about the wall it's just a pissing match to see who's gonna back off first. If the nuclear opition is called the dial is just turned up by a lot.

2018-12-21 13:21:23 UTC  

@Phillip Wiglesworth - FL Ukrainian sounds really weird to me

2018-12-21 13:22:00 UTC  

oh you probably didn't know that I speak Russian

2018-12-21 13:22:27 UTC  

so your message makes sense
