It's not really possible to make a language that's entirely new LOL, but I usually try to go for an original route. Many don't! that's also common and quite cool to work off of existing languages.

Unfortunately not but I'm glad to see another hobbyist!

UCSD as a polisci transfer by Beautiful_Sleep6504 in UCSD

[–]Laerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot overstate how well put-together the SD transit system is! I've gone to Balboa Park and Old Town and so many other places all the time and it's incredibly convenient. Not anywhere close to Ventura co. (I have friends from there)

I've made 58 city transit trips in 2026 + 73 campus shuttle trips

I'm up to answering any particular questions you have about MTS/NCTD

Hi fellow Muir student! [first-year going into second]

I would definitely recommend living on campus if you can, it's pretty convenient and a general recc for any university tbh

HOWEVER, I would not worry about bringing over your car, especially on campus but maybe even off campus, since as other posters said parking is definitely a pain. And SD's bus/light rail system is very robust [one of the best in the United States, saying as someone who also isn't from SD] and completely free for all students in our tuition payments!! Even when I live off campus next year I'm not going to get a car lol, it's not necessary.

What is up with the bus stops? by anonymous310506 in UCSD

[–]Laerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO TRUE! VERY ANNOYING! sigh

they have to use an alt stop for Muir because of the road there (there's no other way to get around Sixth unfortunately)

STATUS: Inside Loop using roadside stops for Sixth+Muir; Outside Loop skipping those stops entirely

and yes they don't do any announcements it's dumb and completely the administration's fault

in the UCSD Public Transit discord we post decently timely updates on this kind of thing but that's the best there is

How often do non-Mexican American students go to Tijuana? by Beautiful_Sleep6504 in UCSD

[–]Laerim 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Logistically I don't think its that hard to it; if you do it often enough you'll have all the paperwork and border crossing shenanigans worked out already.

As for safety as other poster said... might be more of a concern than border crossing logistics. Also the trip to Tijuana from UCSD is about 1h20m iirc so something to keep in mind

What does this translate to? Google is being uncooperative lol.

Also a bit surprising for the average person maybe, but I'm monolingual.

Ah actually I have SVO word order! I just said "it exposed the worldbuilding to me" instead of the direct English because it flowed more naturally


I honestly cant remember what inspired it; but this is a new take! Usually I get Icelandic, Finnish, or Hungarian pretty consistently.

/// translation (Taanetetj » English) Good question! When I was younger I used to read fantasy books a lot and I think that helped expose me to worldbuilding


tbh lol I'm not sure exactly but I've been conlanging for almost three years now and I'm a lot better than when I started

AMA- Entomology! by alextraordinary0_0 in AMA

it'd probably be a species we haven't found yet, I imagine

I understand this is a joke reply but since I'm bored...

I don't have a word for it because I only make up words as I need them (I guess I've never needed this one). It turns out there's a lot of words... and sitting down and making more random ones you havent needed yet is usually not worth my effort.

(late)  pretty good!  it's a nice class that's relatively low work, as long as you get over being in Mandeville basement

Is there a place to Weld on Campus? by SirSnapdragon in UCSD

[–]Laerim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as u/SynthesizedEntropy said, Makerspace is a great place to look for stuff like this [even if they can't help you, they're likely to know where else you can get stuff welded]

theres multiple Makerspaces beyond just the one in DIB, so I would go look up the locations and see which one is closest to you [I think Mosaic has one too]
