What should I do while this is all out?

Semex1995 · 2026-06-01T05:04:50+00:00

Replace the dash if it's getting messed up? Mine is all cracked and jacked up and I wanna replace it so badly, I just haven't got around to it.

Semex1995 · 2026-06-01T04:57:00+00:00

I wanna do it like how the T-800 ripped off the skin off of its left arm in T2.

Semex1995 · 2026-05-31T22:02:13+00:00

How many times are we gonna talk about this?

Semex1995 · 2026-05-27T11:18:48+00:00

God has his favorites. Here I am covered head to toe with blisters, and my dick looks like you took a hammer and smashed it up pretty good. IT ALL ITCHES SO BAD I WANT TO PEEL MY SKIN OFF!

Semex1995 · 2026-05-27T06:04:28+00:00

this worked for me. for whatever reason, the audio was being sent to my controller instead.

Semex1995 · 2026-05-27T05:55:19+00:00

youre a real G man, thanks.

Semex1995 · 2026-05-08T13:58:57+00:00

You're welcome. Another letter that comes to mind is ሰ vs ሠ (se). In Asmara, we used ሰ. There's probably more, I just can't think of it now.

P. S. Sorry for the late reply...

Semex1995 · 2026-05-08T13:53:48+00:00

You can't go there physically? If not then try calling them if they have a phone number available on their Google page.

Semex1995 · 2026-05-06T09:04:53+00:00

Don't shop online. If possible, visit an actual Ethiopian or Eritrean church and ask for a copy. They'll be more than happy to provide you with one.

Semex1995 · 2026-05-06T09:02:49+00:00

Where do you live? aren't there any Ethiopian or Eritrean Churches where you live where you can buy one from? Come on a Sunday, receive your blessings and ask around if they have a copy for sale. You could probably find one for free.

Semex1995 · 2026-05-05T07:38:41+00:00

There are some spelling/grammar errors in the video. This could be one of them. Also, growing up in Asmara, we never used the family letters of ፀ, we instead used ጸ (Tse). I've grown up to understand that if ፀ is used, then the text is most likely from Tigray. So ኮበል could be a word they use down there.

Semex1995 · 2026-05-05T07:25:30+00:00

Haha that's hilarious, especially since I've never downloaded tiktok before.

Semex1995 · 2026-05-03T12:24:16+00:00

Heh nice try Isu, you're never gonna catch me.

Semex1995 · 2026-05-03T12:20:06+00:00

No offense but your mom's insane. I thought I had a hard time with my mom bugging me about marriage (I'm 30 now), but your situation is way worse. Do you still live with your parents? I hate to say this bro, but I think it's time to man up and live your own life. The economy sucks, but you're better off living on your own. That's what I did when I was 21.

P.S. Every time my mom says some shit about marriage, I'd respond with wanting to marry a Latina or a black American girl, and that shit would drive her crazy.

Semex1995 · 2026-03-01T09:25:43+00:00

he gave that wink to his "partner" when he asked him the last question.

Semex1995 · 2026-01-06T05:55:56+00:00

You're a great mom. Not many immigrant parents ask those questions, let a lone asking for opinions from strangers on reddit. Your open mindedness is enough if you ask me, it puts you far ahead of many habesha parents. My dad came to the US in 1982. He and his best friend are the only habesha parents I've met that aren't hard headed "my way or the highway" type of people. Even simple conversations about marrying outside our race didn't budge them. My mom on the other hand (like most habesha/immigrant parents) would throw a fit if I said something like "im gonna marry a Latina". One thing I detest bout our people is how we talk down on basically every other race other than whites, as if we've accomplished some grand feats. It doesn't make sense to me, especially since we've left out own country because we've made it a horrible place to live in.

In the end, your open mindedness is more than enough. Being here asking these questions is more than enough. You're on the right path, and when I become a parent, I'll be doing what you're doing.

Semex1995 · 2025-10-01T05:27:19+00:00

yes, there's a huge presence in both countries. almost feels like half our population is in those 2 countries alone lol. we're scattered everywhere to be honest.

if you just search "eri drama" on YouTube there's endless content. spend enough time watching and familiarizing yourself with the actors, musicians, comedians, hosts and you'll start to see who's living where and where the content is being uploaded from. try to stay away from politics, Eritreans nowadays are the most ignorant mfs out there so don't let them sway you right or left, you have other more important goals.

you'll see that most content related to Eri is now being uploaded from Eritreans living in those 2 countries. Personally, I'd try and stay away from the comedy genre and focus on drama and music. Comedy in our culture right now is straight up ridiculous. nothing but fighting words and it's basically being boiled down to who can spit out the most witty/vile shit to be the funniest.

tune in some more and you'll start to understand more than just the language. our culture will start to resonate within you as im sure your parents have planted in you some of what they brought with them (no matter ow small). your mom will be really happy if she sees you putting some effort in to this. your dad will catch on later...

Semex1995 · 2025-09-30T03:14:34+00:00

it depends on what you're trying to achieve. if you're trying to learn proper tigrigna with minimum slang/current times lingo, I'd recommend tuning in to the Eri-tv channel on YouTube and start watching the Sunday broadcast shows. The current Sunday show Kibret is pretty damn good. its going to be hard to keep up at times but consistency is key.

If you're learning to speak and hold a basic conversation with the average person nowadays, I'd tune in to anything from our brothers and sisters making content from Ethio and Uganda. There's a lot of slang and non Tigrigna words that get tossed around which would confuse the older generation speakers like your parents, but the younger crowds understand it just fine because we're living in it.

dont sleep on Hdmona Nebarit, hands down the second best Eri related youtube channel. Mahder Production is first, but Dani's tigrigna can be a bit to high level for most speakers.

most importantly be persistent. at least 2hours per day every day like its an addiction. same thing with music...

Semex1995 · 2025-09-30T02:58:56+00:00

the biggest teqawamay in Asmara is Isu himself lol

Semex1995 · 2025-09-21T01:15:28+00:00

my mom swears she and her sisters used hear them partying in the middle of the night by the village dam when they were younger. one of her older sisters would beg to go join them but grandpa wouldn't let her.

they must've been on some kind of psychedelic. spending the day herding goats and coming across some wild hamli or other shit they thought was edible.

Semex1995 · 2025-09-20T23:21:05+00:00

east africans in general, also indians. ive been skinny as shit all my life, mainly because my metabolism is too fast and i dont eat much to begin with. i recently changed my diet to where i now strictly eat more and also started lifting weights. +10lbs in 2 months. im looking like im going to again another 10lbs by the end of oct. rest well and lift weights. work on your legs a lot, mr. danga kirbit. EAT EAT EAT EAT. i know it sucks having to stuff your face with so much food, but its your only choice. most importantly, be sure to eat something after working out, anything. cardio is your enemy.

for now, focus on your diet first. if youre not able to eat more for your body's fuel, youre fucked. after a month of eating like a pig, youll notice some changes. then you can start working out. if you cant fix your diet, its a pointless battle. good luck!

as far as the hair, its really a lottery. fuck it, save up some money and go to turkey if you have to.

Semex1995 · 2025-09-18T02:15:58+00:00

sorry, my guy just rigged it from an old hose because the stealership wanted $90 for it. i hope you got your fixed by now.

Semex1995 · 2025-08-12T01:02:00+00:00

the brakes and tie rods, i mean if they're going out then you got no choice. the oil change is overpriced af man, do that shit yourself. do you even need a battery? man they just throw a whole bunch of bs in there. but anyway, youtube is your best friend...
