What did you buy today ???

It's taken me a while but I pick something here and there when I can afford it.

.  Absolutely wasted on him, apparently he sold it for a song as he was trying to get his IT business off the ground.probably swapped it for a PC fan or something....

It's a very unjust world.

I was just telling my wife, I knew a cop who got found guilty of something that was pretty low, never got punished harshly. He bought a raffle ticket and won a very nice brand new motorbike.

Karma has a way of catching up with people like that...

that form is called late capitalism.
understanding it or not will only affect subsequent generations.... it is a matter of satisfying oneself by looking at our navel or aspiring to be citizens of such a different century that forces many to think and accept worlds different from ours or in the worst case accept to be mere spectators...... democratic, of course.
In late 18th century Spain there was a Bourbon king Fernando VII with two "great proclamations":
--far be it from us the fatal mania of thinking.
--Long live the chains.
save our GSXs at most.............. And the reason.
please cacique trump.... or by the force of knowledge

And no Anglo-Saxon is created outside.

Apologies for my lousy English as a translator.
Sometimes what I think in Spanish differs from what I translate but thanks to this tool I can go out into the world.
I"m very curious, I marvel -for example- observing a single-lever tap sometimes because in my youth they all leaked 24H

No. Spanish, Celtic.

Ahhh, the penny is dropping.  So basically every post you put up is a translation of what you said (in Spanish) and because it's now written in English, you can't really tell what it's saying or how your post sounds to those reading it.
It'd be like me having to convert every post I make into Spanish & of course once that's done, I have no idea of what it says to a Spaniard or how it comes across.  You're doing great at getting out into the world using this method of Translator, but be aware the translator groups words we see in 'strange' ways, not obvious to you, but very obvious to native speakers, just the same as it would be if I were translating to another language. It can come across as if you have more than tobacco in your cigarettes . . .

 

[Barbastro K6]

Yes, of course, but I"m older to study languages.
I am aware that phrases are constructed differently
The other solution is to simply disappear

like someone said......

[Dwain Dibley]

Don't disappear mate, Iv'e just got used to you.     

D.D.

Just put yourself -gentlemen- in my dilemma when the internet did not exist.
Do we close our minds to only like-minded people or do we open ourselves to the thinking (or semi) universe??
You are already an island but... at what level do you want it?
I too sometimes and in moments of 'high intellect' look at my navel, perhaps as the last refuge of thinking.
Get used to the idea that universalizing english today is just a push of strength with other majority languages ��but at the same level with which we will soon normalize eating insects versus scientifically admitted high-quality proteins.
Maybe we will end up speaking in Watusi or another noble language without a bloody colonial past and this is said by a Spaniard aware of his past.
As always and taking into account the quality of the translator.....good luck who understands me.

Always apologizing for the quality of the final language, always at the expense of the chosen translator.
