blackcat79: @Emmaloves Haha I get that- my Duolingo streak is only alive because the Mandarin lessons are pretty simple and the aid of too many streak freezes to count 😅

Selah_Ross: Hi guys!

Emmaloves: @blackcat79 Oh wow that's fantastic! I used to be really into French but about 2 years ago now lost the motivation. But I keep my Duolingo streak alive by doing chess lessons, which has actually gotten me pretty interested in chess lol

blackcat79: @Emmaloves I quite enjoy learning languages! I speak Czech (albeit not very well) and have been learning Mandarin in school for nearly 8 years. Doesn’t mean I’m any good, but I’m proud of where I’ve gotten so far lol

Emmaloves: @GiuseppeK Haha! True!

GiuseppeK: @MidnightTH I'm going with the theory that those patterns were rock stars who suffered a tragic, untimely fate, and in the manner of a sports team, their jersey numbers are permanently retired.

Emmaloves: @blackcat79 About school work and burn out, I really believe taking breaks is the key. You may do 5-6 hours work straight, but small breaks (e.g: 10 minute break for every 50 minutes of work) can definitely help! Also allow yourself days off- go out with friends, spend time dedicated to your hobbies or even switching off your brain and doing a little doom scrolling (but not too much because it can just make you feel more tired lol) can all help you re-energise. Finally, sleep is so, so important! Sleep deprivation can make you seriously, chronically ill, so it's really important you try to get 8 hours each night and also make sure to eat well and stay hydrated

GiuseppeK: Something I'd meant to say earlier: If you were a '90s kid and lucky enough to make it to the final round of WHERE IN THE WORLD IS CARMEN SANDIEGO?, the last thing you wanted to hear was "Look for her in Africa."

1 day, 22 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @blackcat79 And I know precisely why that reminds me of my favorite octopus joke, but it's probably too spicy for a venue such as this. 😭

1 day, 22 hours ago

blackcat79: @GiuseppeK [Re: the Australia argument] I don’t know why, but that reminds me of this one time I was standing next to two people at an aquarium, looking at a majestic Great Pacific Octopus. One of them went “Omg that’s such a cute jellyfish!” and the other confidently responded “No you idiot, it’s a squid” lol

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK Hey I guess it was a series topic okay?

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit And now I'm thinking back to a hilarious moment at university, when I witnessed a surprisingly heated argument over the capital of Australia occur not ten paces from an old school set of encyclopedias (for the record, they were both wrong).

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK ooooooo I need to know some of these African countries were called! Care to enlighten me?

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Last time I visited such a place, I found a '70s almanac, and I had a surprisingly grand time remembering what the countries in Africa USED to be called.

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK LOL NO I DESPISE THOSE PEOPLE! I go to secondhand stores and find my own treasures.

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I'm not so sure about that. I've got a theory that the Apocalypse actually already happened, and no one noticed.

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK People tend to see only the good parts in things they no longer have. Whether that is a person or a time period.

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit PLEASE promise me you won't ever become one of those insufferable hipsters who prances into the secondhand store and makes a huge production out of taking ALL the vinyl and spreading it on the floor around them. 😤

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK hey! It was a miracle the world didn’t end man.

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK love that quote. But it is not a crime to like the good parts of different times.

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Meh. I can certainly do without reliving the '00s.

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK now that may be a very true fact your mother stated. Probably is true from what the 60s is known for

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK exactly. 20 years ago everyone loved what was 20 years before that.

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Then again, my own mom once confided that anyone who claims to remember the '60s probably wasn't REALLY there.

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK I agree CDs are the best regardless…HAHAH that’s actually hilarious. Thou must learn French the car said.

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I remember the '50s were all the rage among the retro types of the '80s, and the '60s were big among '90s kids, or at least what we *thought* the '60s were (the '60s weren't THE SIXTIES™ until the decade was nearly over).

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK I do enjoy going to the malls in my aria. Even tho one of them is dead. But it’s fun to walk around with friends. I’ve always liked rollerblading and do that quite often too

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I'd go so far as to call cassettes overrated (I think it peaked with CDs). Of course, I may be biased, owing to my first car having a tape deck with the cassette permanently stuck in there (Learn French, Lesson 2: Letters and Numbers 🤮 ).

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK my family has always been into CDs and vinyls. But they are becoming big again. It is also true that in the 90s kids wanted to be in the 70s and that’s I guess how it is?

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Malls could be alive and fun, or quite the contrary (nothing in between). One of the all-time classic zombie movies dealt with a huddle of survivors trying to shelter in place in a shopping mall.

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK Cassette tapes are fascinating to me. I personally love CDs and vinyls. But don’t have a way to play cassette tapes otherwise I’d have those too

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit I admit, I'm a bit concerned with the '90s suddenly becoming hip to relive. Maybe I'm a worrywart, but maybe it's time we heeded the warnings of the Department of Retro and start conserving: we're running out of past...

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit Or a song on the radio that wasn't out for another couple years.

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit That's a bit of a paradoxical query. As a genuine '80s kids, there are things I probably never would've thought about were it not for the decade suddenly being so hot in pop culture. I'll see a story is supposed to be taking place in a certain year, yet they're (for instance) playing an arcade game that wasn't out yet.

2 days, 3 hours ago

GiuseppeK: @karyn-smit At the risk of getting too far into the weeds for polite company, I'm in a part of the world that uses a hose with a nozzle ("bum gun") to do 99% of the job. Once you get the hang of it, it makes SO much more sense.

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK EXACTLY!! if it had been advertised that socks were going to be scarce then I believe people would have listened and bout an infinite amount of socks. Honestly may have been a great marketing tactic in those times.

2 days, 3 hours ago

karyn-smit: @GiuseppeK it’s also expensive! If people are so worried about not being able to go to grocery stores, why not stalk up on FOOD??
