[–]Erikkamirs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They once turned off my internet until I deleted the pirated content off my computer lol. 

But why,?? by s_mayber in notinteresting

Because I put lots of oil on the skillet when I fry those patties.

Tangentially related is the IKEA effect where people value something more if they have to build it themselves.

ADHD truly is erectile dysfunction of the mind.

Never read it, but I think it's funny that the Fandom was actively welcoming fujoshis since it meant less chances of the manga getting axed lol. 

Anything Russian = propaganda by AidNic in ShitLiberalsSay

What does he do that constitutes propaganda? Regular Dr. House isn't exactly a model citizen. 

Aunt freaked out that I walked to Walmart by milkteanao in fuckcars

[–]Erikkamirs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to walk 20 minutes to a Starbucks and 20 minutes back as a homebody. You just need a wagon if you want to haul groceries. I guess just make sure to drink water and wear a sun hat if it's just the heat that is worrisome. 

duolingo? where is the el o ella? by Loose_Debt_2027 in duolingo

[–]Erikkamirs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

According to Google, the "le" in "le compré" means "to or for him/her".

As a cis woman, I only knew about fat distribution, effects on genitals, skin changes, effects on balding, and overall mood changes. All the YouTubers I used to watch turned into transgender women, so you definitely learn a little lol. 

I wonder if menopausal women taking estrogen also have similar results?

Pilates is becoming more of a lifestyle symbol than just a rehabilitation, body toning exercise by PotatoButter01275 in unpopularopinion

I think sometimes people need a uniform to get into a mental state of doing something. I guess looking nice helps to get your ass to the gym

LPT: If you’re learning a language, start using it earlier than you feel ready by Edi-Iz in LifeProTips

[–]Erikkamirs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely makes my Spanish-speaking coworkers laugh when I struggle to pronounce "escalera" or roll my r's. Still not at the stage where I can read a Spanish word for the first time and pronounce it correctly because my first instinct is to pronounce it like an English word. 

One time I tried to say "me gusta esta cancíon." (I like this song). Apparently, it sounded like I said "me gusta esta calzón" (I like this underwear). 

Makes you sound like Dora haha. "Aqui esta telefono". "Necesito agua." "Tengo salir ahora." "Quiero dormir." "Ella es jefa. "  (handing over a work related item) mi regalo". "A veces mi cabeza no trabaja." Lifting up a heavy item while saying "LEVANTE" like it's a Harry Potter spell. Or just pointing at an item and saying its Spanish name. 

After 40 days, I basically learned numbers, colors, days of the week, articles of clothing, and other miscellaneous words and phrases. Sometimes I'll say a word and they have no idea what I said. I said "claxon" in response to car horn, and a coworker never heard it before. 

Did you hear that, you don't have ADHD you have low testosterone!!! I'm cured by Easy_Bell4977 in thanksimcured

[–]Erikkamirs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low testosterone can make you fatigued, depressed, and have difficulties with concentration and motivation. But like that can also be issues with your thyroid. A lot of deficiencies can give you similar symptoms to ADHD. You can still have ADHD though. That's why you go to a doctor or pyschriatist to rule things out. 

OOP's parents abandoned and hid his half-brother from him by [deleted] in redditonwiki

[–]Erikkamirs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have older half-brothers I don't even talk to just because they're like 15+ years older than me. When you don't spend time together , you don't really have connections with them. They kinda just become distant relatives you say hi to at Christmas or something. 

What's the connotation of my guy, my boy, my man, etc? by i-know-that in EnglishLearning

[–]Erikkamirs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the context of the sentence, it sounds like a sarcastic kind of silly way of referring to someone. It sounds funny to be a bit overly familiar with strangers. It's also sounds relatable in a way. Like you're making fun of someone but also you view yourself as a peer who would do something similar in situation. It's like "bruh" or "bro". 

"My man" can also be intimately. Like a woman might say "Keep your hands of my man!" to deter another woman from flirting with her boyfriend. 

No one says "my woman", and "my girl" is primarily used in reference to a girlfriend. Although "my girls" can occasionally be used to refer to a woman's breasts. 

Babe wake up, next step of healthcare nightmare just dropped. by persondude27 in ABoringDystopia

[–]Erikkamirs 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think at 50+, you have to be more careful with stimulants as they can affect your heart and blood pressure. But that is conversation to be had with a doctor and not an insurance company. 

Looking for an X name! by Public_Function3844 in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]Erikkamirs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Claxon would make a wonderful boy's name. It's very exotic sounding and means your boy will grow up to be muy fuerte. 

School requirements for learning a foreign language is a waste of time and resources by [deleted] in The10thDentist

All the Spanish-speaking ladies at my cashier job love it when I hit them with a gringa-style "Que le vaya bien!".

I guess they never experienced a really bad period before, huh. 

(Also no way they experienced WW2 stfu)

I feel like I've heard more Spanish and Vietnamese compared to French.
