@karen At least their portions are acceptable in size. Almost everywhere else you need two servings to get remotely full.

Really out of it today, wish the topic I have to write on was more interesting

Before bread was invented, what did ducks eat?

@shpufeff @guizzy AFAIK it went all the way to at least eastern europe, and was only not that relevant in the helenic areas of the south. Not sure how deep into finland/ukraine/russia it went though.
-
@shpufeff @guizzy At that point it was still widely spoken. The clergy, diplomats, statesmen, academics, etc all used latin and greek.
Maybe I'm a bit too elitist, but the printing press would have made text readily available anyway, and with it came kinda-universal reading, so I would have demanded people that were interested be taught latin rather than phasing out. It would have been socially pricey but the world wouldn't have gone all tower of babel a second time. -
@shpufeff @guizzy To be honest I concede some of his ideas were right, and was kind of bananaposting earlier. I do disagree with the whole "bibles in the language of the people" thing because it made things more difficult in the long run. Before that, anyone learned in the west knew Latin, so there was a working universal language throughout Europe and all related areas. After bibles started getting translated that progressively died out and we got to the mess of people not being able to understand eachother until not too long ago.
Was it harder for the average joe to learn latin than have bibles translated? yes. Was it a good thing to have latin as a requirement for understanding the bible? also yes, it gave a very compelling argument to learn it and jump up in the social ladder. -

Being from a catholic country, the perception the english diaspora has of catholics seems really surreal to me.

@guizzy GG Luther, mangoed up european unity, gave rise to the ottomans, and made priests marry

@roko The power of GNU/Social. SPC probably saw it there first and saved the url in the DB. Now it just re-uses that URL until the end of time.

@sarcasmkid Generally american drinks are super expensive in the UK. Had a friend there that loved caipirinha (which isn't even expensive to make) but would rarely have any as they charged several £ per serving at bars and it was really hard to get the ingredients.
-
@sarcasmkid AFAIK english diaspora catholics love having many children so I'm sure the priest will marry you anyway

@sarcasmkid It can be a cruiser with a priest

@folk @nepPotato Knishes @ricotta @lev2013 You sure are obsessed with Fluffle Puffes huh

@folk @nepcherry @ricotta @lev2013 Knowing him for two years, he's the opposite. He takes it easy, and anyone who takes it easy just hammers a sticking nail down instead of leaving it there and constantly tripping.
