By Punished Go To PostHe's right about things like the etymological variety, economy and even feel of the English language vs Spanish. You can find finesse in simple samples of alliteration that you could never construct in Spanish, and it's hard to beat how broad and succinct you can take it. His point on phrasal verbs that beautifully describe actions is also magnificent, and prepositions (which are so fucking hard to learn) give it a different dimension. On the other hand, his short stories and poetry make the best case for Spanish I've ever read. Aesthetically, he was always chasing anglo ideas, but he also had a knack for argentite gaucho vernacular that felt quite universal.
But, I also grew up on Borges and studied English, so maybe I just implicitly agree with what he taught. One counter argument could be that Spanish has such a rich Arabic cross pollination that enhances its beauty and ring of post Mozarabic influence. Castillan Spanish tends to be coarse and burdened by commands and barks, but Spanish words of Arabic origin are some of the most comfy things to communicate in Spanish.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. β The man who fired first in an October road rage incident in which two children were shot will not be criminally charged. The man who returned fire, however, has been charged with seven counts of attempted murder, aggravated assault and shooting or throwing deadly missiles.
how is the man who returned fire not protected under stand your ground? that dumbass who shot at someone during a road rage accident wasnt charged because the guy threw a water bottle at him which he claimed was gunshots and therefore protected under that dumbass law.
The moon is closer to the earth than the deep ocean and thus more accessible?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?!?! holy fuck in TIL
you could pay me a billion dollars an hour to be a deep sea diver and i'd still have to think hard about it
idk what the fuck is down there and neither does anyone else, and i dont want to be the first one to find out.

The octopi/alien thing isn't new either. Shit, even put that aside - after humans they'd likely have next as the dominant intelligent species on planet.
And anything that manages to have a long life or be an apex predator at the bottom of the ocean has to be categorically built different.
I say all that to say

Far as I recall it's just more difficult to build submersibles that can withstand the water pressure depths than anything distance related.
its definitely harder to get to the moon than the bottom of the ocean otherwise some wealthy explorer or filmmaker would've done it
Nah, what we need is an ocean race with China or somethin'. Or better yet convince a bunch of billionaires the fountain of youth is down there.
Tell them thereβs more rare minerals that can push their wealth into the trillions
But they have to go get it themselves. All at the same time

By Daz Go To PostEarth's circumference is 24k MilesSurely radius would be more appropriate than circumference for this discussion (even though radius = circumference/2*pi)
Earth's distance to the moon is 350k km.

I thought maybe it was something lost in translation from some source they read because the moon is pretty fuckin far and the earth is not that big
Yeah that had to be some weird translation shit because hell nah. I was really just vibing to the story

My old uncle was working as a deep sea welder many many years ago and during one of his assignments encountered something very mysterious deep down there which he described as a human-like creature. As the surroundings were so dark, he wasn't able to see the face of the figure clearly. A few years ago I was totally flabbergasted when he suddenly shouted, "Hey!! I think this was the one I encountered down there!!!" upon seeing Jason Momoa in a magazine.

Gambling is largely based on chance, and there is no guaranteed way to win. It's important to remember that the odds are always in favor of the house, and gambling should only be done for entertainment purposes with a set budget that one can afford to lose. It's best to approach gambling with caution and not rely on it as a means of making money.
