i like spekaing ofreign languages because - slop slinger - 22-06-2026
It feels like everything I say in them is like a magic spell
Unfamiliar strings of sounds and syllables that produce effects in the world
Like I go to the restaurant and I ask, in Croatian, that I want a sandwich.
I mutter a string of incomprehensible syllables, and as if by magic, my words move the body of the clerk as they give me the sandwich.

Koliko jezika znaš, (The number of languages you know) toliko ljudi vrediš. (that's how many People you is worth).

Maybe you should learn a programming language, it's like speaking in pure mathematical operations with human-language abstractions!

Isn't that played out
"Learn to code!" from 2019 has become "Please, give me Universal Basic Income!" in 2027

Learning any language besides English is much more of a waste of time

yes I do this too, for example when people ask me for directions I sometimes respond by quoting vedic verses in sanskrit. I say what I want to say, do they hear what they want to hear? I'll let the universe decide.

Knowing foreign languages is such a failo tbh
Brb instead of learning something useful like science or math om going to learn how people communicate in a country where I don't live thousands of miles away where and where they probably speak English conversationally anyway
