You’re An Ancient Greek Man Coming Home From 4 Months Of War To Find Your Wife 3 Months Pregnant. Now

Random Story Time!

In my history class during my senior year of high school my class was assigned a talent show project. We had to pick a country that was important or had a major influence during the Cold War, write a at least a page of two related to the country and said significance. The talent show part was to do a small performance or presentation of sorts related to your country. You could make food, do a skit about an important event or person, sing a song, etc.

I decided to do Hungary for this project and thought that singing would be my best bet since I’m not the most creative person and I thought a skit would be more embarrassing. It would also be easier since I was doing this project alone. I found a song that was sung during the Hungarian Revolution against the Soviets and decided that it was the perfect choice.

There was just one problem…

I do not know ANY Hungarian. This was my first time even ATTEMPTING to speak the language. I couldn’t find any English covers to listen to and while I could find the directly translated lyrics, I was so busy at the time that I did not have the time to format the song in a way that it would sound good with English lyrics. Also I didn’t have the time to memorize the song enough that I would be able to pull up the instrumental version and sing it well. I know that with enough time and effort you can sing a sing in another language perfectly and still not know the language. But like I said I did not have the free time for this.

So eventually when it’s my turn to present I went up with a piece of paper where I wrote down the lyrics and just hoped that I wouldn’t be too off rhythm and with the pronunciation. I was FAR from perfect but I think I did okay. My teacher was mostly grading this project based on doing it anyways, so I wasn’t worried about my grade.

Here’s the funny part.

Once I finished my teacher actually asked if I was Hungarian because apparently my accent sounded a lot like a Hungarian one. I looked straight at him and responded with: “No, I’m Mexican.”

Honestly I found the whole situation hilarious given the context. I hope this story makes someone laugh.

Note: I went to a very diverse school where many kids were first generation Americans meaning the majority of the students’ parents were not born in the US and many of the students were bilingual. We had people from all over the world so honestly having a Hungarian kid would not have been a shock.

Is there a word that’s a mix between angry and sad

I’m not 100% sure that my explanation is accurate, but here it is:

Alya’s and Nino’s ship name was made popular before season 1 even finished, so the fandom had little alternate names to go off of. I’m pretty sure it was popularized before it was revealed that there were going to be more miraculous holders, so that eliminates using the hero names. Obviously Oblivio was also a ways away as well. We didn’t even know if the show was going to have people be akaumatized more than once either. We also wanted to be more creative than smashing their names together. So the villain names were the obvious choice. But honestly Lady Wi-Fi is a much cooler name than Bubbler so it makes sense that only Alya’s villain name stuck. Using DjWifi alludes to the fact that both characters can be very tech savvy (Alya is obvious, but Nino needs to know how to use tech in order to be a dj). It just kinda worked and sounded good. That’s why it’s called DJWifi instead of something else.

Why is it called DJWifi? Like Nino is a DJ but he was never an evil DJ. I mean Bubbler did force people to dance but he has no DJ powers. But Alya isn’t always Lady Wifi. Their unified form is Oblivio but that doesn’t have to do with that either.

I'm not sure why it's called DJWifi, it's been called that since before I entered the fandom during season 3. It does stand out as unique among ship names in the ML fandom, every other one I can think of is a standard portmanteau couple name based on either their civilian or superpowered identities.

Can anyone who's been in the fandom long enough to remember when this term was coined clarify?

today my bf and i were talking about visiting my home for the holidays and i was (sadly) wondering aloud if i should cut my hair and our kid was like "why would you cut your hair??? your hair is cool" and not knowing how to explain it to him i said "my family doesnt think boys should have long hair" to which he went silent, wordlessly pulled out his phone and then swiftly held it out with a picture of keeanu reeves on his phone

I just got out of the shower and I walked into my room to put my stuff away. My roommate was sleeping and I tried to be super quiet so that I don’t wake her up. Then suddenly she sits up super quickly and says “I apologize!” I looked at her with a confused look and said “For sleeping in your own room?” She looked around for a moment before saying “Oh yeah, I am in my room,” and went right back to sleep.

Here’s another one from my archives. It’s the town under a rock, Setenil de las Bodegas, Spain, where around 3,000 inhabitants are living quite literally, under a rock.

The small white washed town has a unique setting along a narrow river gorge eroded by the Rio Trejo river, with many of the houses being built into and under the walls of the gorge itself.

There was a practical reason for living here.  The natural caves are ideal living quarters because they didn’t need to build whole houses to keep out the heat and cold- the cave did that. All they had to build were the façades. 

The bars, restaurants and food shops are ranked as the best in the region.

In summer, the town is vibrant.

The town used to be large store rooms for local produce, b/c of the cool environment in the rock. 

It’s fascinating to think of them building this town. 

Look at this little house.

Even though a lot of the town is under the rock, a lot of it still gets the sun. It’s like going in and out of tunnels.
