As Someone Who Has Actually Studied The English Language There's A Common Phrase About English That Kinda

As someone who has actually studied the English language there's a common phrase about English that kinda annoys me because while it makes for a funny haha line it's such a gross oversimplification that it actually ceases to be funny. It's the one that goes "The English language is just three languages stacked on top of each other wearing a trenchcoat" or something to that effect.

I'm not going to go into detail as to why that sentence is inaccurate, just take my word for it as a person with a master's in English. I suggest we withdraw this expression from usage and replace it with the much more accurate "The English language is a dirty little slut that loves it when other languages cum big loads in it"

Using tumblr is like living in a low class apartment building. You just get used to the landlord not fixing things, and then someone new moves in and you’re helpfully like “oh yeah don’t drink the tap water, it’s got stuff in it that makes you sick” and then your neighbor you’ve had forever goes “oh they took the stuff out actually” and you’re like “what? when was this?”

“like two years ago”

“you mean i could’ve been drinking the tap water all this time?”

“yeah. they gave us individual mailboxes too finally, you don’t have to dig through the communal bin anymore”

“are you for real right now?? i just redirected my mail, i didnt know”

and the new tennant is like “why did you guys even live here if it was so bad”

“we like it.”

“I kinda miss the communal mail bin tho”

No One Wants To Leave The Country They Grew Up In, But News Like This Shows How Difficult It Is To Live

No one wants to leave the country they grew up in, but news like this shows how difficult it is to live in Gaza with homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.

So I hope you can help me evacuate my family from Gaza so that my father can get treatment abroad. I beg everyone who sees this to either donate or participate so that we can get out of this nightmare.

Joliebean's Double Trouble Outfit Converted To The Sims 3 For AM

joliebean's Double Trouble outfit converted to The Sims 3 for AM

Original found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/summer-break-set-70890770

Stumbled upon this while browsing around the world wide web and converting this went pretty quickly, considering how long it's been

This conversion really isn't perfect but it's recolorable and is up to my standards as far as conversions. No shadows, no missing normals, a blank specular and plenty of recolorable presets :)

It includes 5 belt overlays that appear in the presets above. One brown, one dark brown, another white and two black variants. Tried to recreate the presets Joliebean made but I didn't want to clutter the menu too much, so it's not all of them.

Details:

AM full body outfit. 7 presets.

Please adhere to my TOU and the original creator’s!!

Notes/Known Issues:

The collar is rotated counter clockwise in the UV map, beware when using patterns on the shirt.

As always there might be clipping and stretching with poses, animations, and certain sliders.

people who argue for the utility of lolcow gangstalking forums are insane. do you realize how you sound going "there is an unwell person on the internet who could potentially benefit from some form of intervention. for everyone's safety, we are gathering an elite taskforce of nazi pedophiles to turn their life into 24/7 online entertainment for socially maladjusted preteens and adults who dont leave the house enough to realize how banal half the shit this person does really is."
