I fondly remember having uniquely good vibrations in two unlikely circumstances of the recent past:<\/p>\n
The word woman<\/i> comes from the Old English term wife-man<\/i>. Indeed, being a loving wife and mother is a woman’s most important role in life.<\/p>\n
Moreover, motherhood is the only biological reason for female existence. The male body is biologically superior to the female one; the latter’s only advantages are its beauty, childbirth-capability, and natural calendar.<\/p>\n
Women should be equal to men in rights, but not in sociëtal roles. The normalisation of women working just like men is a trick to tax both sexes and indoctrinate children in government-run prisons<\/s> schools. Divorce rates in couples where the woman outearns the man tend to be about 30% higher.<\/p>\n
This doesn’t mean that the workforce should consist of only men — a female perspective is insightful when engineering, and where would we be without nurses?<\/p>\n
But women are mostly there to be barefoot and pregnant, weaving spells into the threads of family clothing. Kinder und küche!<\/i><\/p>\n
I accept my role as a man to provide for and protect my woman, so she can freely channel divinity and broadcast joy.<\/p>\n
Happy International Women’s Day!

Despite always being the best at English spelling in class, even amongst true natives, its inconsistencies bug me. That’s why I’m fascinated with the idea of English spelling reform.<\/p>\n
An English spelling reform must not be a mandate, and government’s role in it should be limited to simply recognising and universally adopting the new spellings in its facilities.<\/p>\n
A universal spell-as-you-pronounce reform is not a good idea, as it would designate a certain accent as “the correct one”. It would also lead to words losing their roots: spelling friend<\/i> as frend<\/i> would kill its connection to fiend<\/i>; spelling phlegm<\/i> as flem<\/i> or even just phlem<\/i> would disassociate it from its adjective phlegmatic<\/i>.<\/p>\n
A good spelling reform sticks to rules that already exist, is easy on the eyes, and makes rules more consistent. I already spell the past verbal tense of focus<\/i> as focussed<\/i> and the plural of gas<\/i> as gasses<\/i>, to make it clear that these words do not rhyme with used<\/i> and phases<\/i> respectively. This idea can be expanded to other words: spelling intervocalic<\/i> as intervocallic<\/i>, since it does not rhyme with Gaelic<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The British -our<\/i> spelling of words like colour<\/i> and flavour<\/i> has no reason to be, hence I will now be spelling these and similar words as color<\/i> and flavor<\/i>. This is retroäctive: I updated their spellings in my previous posts to make finding these words easier. I will also now spell the word mould<\/i> as mold<\/i>.<\/p>\n
The perfect English spelling reform would be a grassroots initiative — our society agreeing that it is okay to “misspell” if doing so brings about orderly simplicity. I’m ready to be the first to begin.<\/p>\n
I will now spell the word light<\/i>, as in not heavy<\/i>, as lite<\/i>.<\/s> Updated Nov 20, 2022<\/p>\n
Though<\/i>, although<\/i>, through<\/i>, and through-out<\/i> will become tho<\/i>, altho<\/i>, thru<\/i>, and thru-out<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Small<\/i> will now be smol<\/i>: it’s cuter, and, well, smoller.

I’m entering week three of online school, the best school experience I’ve ever had.<\/p>\n
But it will end once the quarantine ends. Online lessons cancel borders, therefore potentially reducing future tax revenue.

I almost used “Food waste is the world’s dumbest problem” as the title.<\/p>\n
Food is food, after all. Food is organic. Organic stuff rots quicker than other things. My dacha has a compost pile where uneaten food and banana peels go. There is nothing wrong with this, as well as with throwing apple seeds out the window (as long as there’s soil below).<\/p>\n
School forced us to eat the barely decent meal entirely, instead of letting us take as much as we feel like and having the option to bring own food. This applied even if paying the school lunch provider!<\/p>\n
They say food waste is a problem because people don’t finish the food they’re eating, while kids in Africa suffer from hunger. How is overfilling yourself, thus making yourself feel worse, helping kids in Africa? Take as much as you can eat! Unfortunately this is not so much of an option in restaurants, hence stop feeling guilty about not finishing your meal.<\/p>\n
It is also noteworthy to mention Apeel, a company that has developed a way to keep food fresh for longer by using leftovers from other food to keep moisture in and O<\/b>xygen out.<\/p>\n
