  • Many Greek people do, considering if you want to study anything from law to psychology to journalism, you need to learn latin and ancient Greek (though this one is mandatory in highschool) to pass the university entrance exam

  • 👁️ω👁️

  • Meanwhile I'm playing Ultima this year... (outlands ofc)

  • No, but I wonder what the 3/4th is

  • Fo' shizzle my bizzle

  • Honestly, our language is weird. It can sound like any language depending on what you're saying and the words you're using

  • Tell me about it :p

  • Not exactly, it's actually Kolonaki - but close enough!

    -a greek

  • That's awesome, keep up the wood work ;)

  • When the instance admin calls you by your full internet name 😳

  • This is gold, what a poet you are

  • Actually, it depends, and the final form of my username on most social media platforms has a very long story.

    It all began when I found this meme funny.

    And my username became pippipthediddlydo.

    But that honestly became quite a handful, so it got shortened to PipPipTDD. Then shortened even more to PipPip, as people honestly just called me Pip most of the time anyways.

    During this period my friends and I had developed a tradition where on Halloween, just for the day, we would put "spooky" in front of our username. I don't remember how my username evolved in this timeframe, but at some point I decided (because I'm very funny /s) to take it a step further and in a very ironic fashion, add a "not" in front of that spooky, to then remove the "not" on Halloween. So the entire year I'm "not spooky" until the one day that I am. And a few adjustments here and there got me to my current username on most platforms (because pip gets taken literally everywhere): notspookypip.

  • 😏

  • Wait a minute... could this be in protest????

  • I thought this was satire at first, damn why am I so optimistic

  • Yeah the monetization is what brought this downfall in the first place. It's definitely not the same as AI, it's sharing pre-existing work and unlike most platforms, with credit directly to the artist's socials or webstores and was especially good for fashion designers and artist-sellers (though that also started going downhill since it got overtaken by dropshippers). I looked up online and found alternatives already such as cosmos.so which includes user owned media, not just reposting, but my issue came with then protecting said media from being scraped by AI en masse

  • If it's a lost cause for Americans it rly ain't any better anywhere else considering how many companies are owned by them :'))) if you guys can't stop them, there's no way someone from a bumfuck country like myself could do anything about it besides informing myself and rejecting it as much as I can

  • Should I be afraid to ask what slurping is?

  • Please, and I will scream of your work from the rooftops
