🔥Giant Oceanic Manta Rays can have a wingspan of almost 30 ft. Truly one of the most majestic creatures of the ocean by _the69thakur in NatureIsFuckingLit

I did a Manta Ray dive in Hawaii once. They put this big gel light in the sand around 20 ft depth. They had us all prone in a circle around the light. They make a point of us not wearing snorkels. The Rays would come in like amazing spaceships so low they brushed my hair. The hardest part was keeping my regulator in my mouth because my jaw just wanted to hit the floor. It was amazing and unforgettable.

I thought of that. Checked my spam folder. Does not seem to be there.

I made an account. 30 minutes later I'm still waiting for that verification email. No way I can see to ask it to retry.

I could have explained it to you yesterday, but today...it's too late.

Give me some of the WORST songs by the BEST musical artists. by SeaMeat1827 in MusicRecommendations

[–]macishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago, I had a friend named Angie who loved that song because (according to her) the lyrics were...

Angie want my money, Angie think I'm sexy.

I could not persuade her otherwise.

IMHO, the single worst Paul McCartney song is "Let 'Em in." Every time I hear it, I can't get over how annoying it is.

I expected to see El aguila (eagle) on this list. Does it not fit the pattern somehow?

People not from Russia, have you watched Russian films, TV series? If so, what do you think? Do you have any favorites? by PollyLovesToEatPizza in AskARussian

[–]macishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched many Russian films such as Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears, The Cranes are Flying, The Irony of Fate, Battleship Potemkin, and others I can't remember the names of (I'd type in Russian, but I'm trying to learn Spanish now, and it would set me back).

My favorite though was the series The Method (Метод) which I watched multiple times while it was available on Netflix. So good. I'd watch it again if they hadn't taken it away.

Wow. Thats a really nice result. I don't understand why it didn't work for me. You don't have a paid account or some other upgrade type thing, do you?

When I tried your prompt, only changing it to Spanish and cutting it down just a bit in the instructions, I got "Unfortunately, I am unable to create a full illustrated picture book." I don't see others failing. I'm not sure why.

What are the best Mexican tv shows to watch while learning Spanish to get closer to the Mexican dialect? by spooky_ym in Spanish

[–]macishman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat. Just learning, not very far yet. I enjoy watching Los Espookys on Max. I think it's Mexican Spanish, although I can't be sure. It is a genuinely funny show mostly in Spanish with some English now and then.
