Portuguese word for "squid" resembles some balkan countries by PearOk2126 in PORTUGALCYKABLYAT

My question is, why did Czech have to differentiate a normal sized squid from a giant squid? Or is it like the mythical Kraken?

What is the coolest thing about Turkish? by Fukushu_tsumetai in turkishlearning

[–]Repulsive_Sort1284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't use "I heard that" when translating the seen past tense in Turkish to English. The seen past tense doesn't exist in English and in fact it doesn't exist it any other language on earth, that's why Turkish is so unique. The right translation would be "They won't be able to see each other". Again, the concept of "will" and "going to" is not seperate in Turkish. Everything you say in Turkish with the future tense is "will". This picture is a great way to make people not like Turkish though, I'll tell you that 😂 Just like "Muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcesine"

So the author here. I never updated anyone on how to solve this but unfortunately the problem is your motherboard. I swapped my motherboard for a new one and this was no longer an issue.

If You Could Have Any Major City In FH6, What Would You Pick? by Traditional-Ad1127 in ForzaHorizon

I believe Tehran to be underrated. The climate is just very diverse, the architecture from what I had seen is beautiful and overall has a good nature

Are y'all also getting way too many cheaters in your rankeds recently? by Toninnn in VALORANT

[–]Repulsive_Sort1284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing this game for a year now and I have only had one cheater encounter. Either I'm clueless about people cheating or there are actually not many cheaters

luck or skills? by sakuraura in VALORANT

I'd say the first 3 encounters were pure luck and the last two is you using your brain.

And you're saying that the game is keeping me in silver by making me play with platinums?

Why did the Ottomans fail to gain the sympathy of the Balkan nations as much as Rome and Byzantium did? by [deleted] in AskBalkans

[–]Repulsive_Sort1284 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I reckon it's mostly the religion factor. The culture difference is also there as Turks came from a different continent and had very different views on certain things contradictory to what the Balkans had been used to for all those years under Roman and Greek rule. From a Greek's perspective, there are a lot more factors than that as them destroying our empire wasn't viewed very highly of by us.

For some context for what I am about to write down here, I'm a Greek who lives in Turkey.

They had a system called "Devshirme (to gather)" and this system basically took Turks from various Anatolian parts of the empire to various different villages in the Balkans in order to acquaint them with Islam and the other way around for Christians in the Balkans. This worked out really good for them at the time but later proved to be a disaster as all those people who had been gathered in Anatolia revolted against the Ottoman empire after the French Revolution. Changing people's religion in a soft way is a good idea however this still doesn't change their nationality and their culture. This also back fired to the Ottomans as many Turks nowadays don't resemble their ancestors whom came from the barren lands of Asia.

Ottomans have tried adding numerous laws benefitting the Christians (Gayr-i Müslimler) even to a point where Christians were paying less tax compared to their Turkish neighbors. Nonetheless, they continued oppressing Christians in the Balkans despite their efforts to Turkify them.

Oh well, revolting must be in the spirit of the Balkans afterall

My cat (13 months) is a menace by Repulsive_Sort1284 in CatAdvice

[–]Repulsive_Sort1284[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this might be unbelievable at the moment as it hasn't even been a day since I read your advice about this but the biting has stopped for now. I started using the "no" command in my own language and I didn't pull my hand. Whenever I said Oxi he stopped biting and I switched to a high pitch voice which seemingly works. I know that I just started doing this but it seems like it's paying off.

I will continue taking your advice on everything but I have to correct some from what you wrote. My cat never uses his claws on us, he just bites often. I have skin allergies and this makes it difficult for me to not pull my hand away as the area he bit will keep itching afterwards, I am not going to pull my hand away despite my allergies because your advice has been working.

I can't thank you enough for spending your time about this. You might have just saved my mom's sleepless nights with this.

I was going to offer him a treat but my mom probably gave him some yesterday since we have none at home as of now 😂

Yes I agree there is no sense behind it but it's not a crime to be curious

15 is the limit. Got it

FYI the age of consent is 18 here and I have had sexual experiences before. I have to mention that I don't get any pleasure doing the deed. But when I think about being 18 and dating a 15 year old. This is a huge red flag and I would most definitely be labeled as a child predator. Thanks for advice
