Some thoughts on Faroese
by LoveUniHateExams ini mentioned using faroese as a basis for a pw in answer to fatfreek's op.. so, i got curious about the language and dug further on youtube, looking at a few faroese language channels*.. here's what i found out .... faroese is kinda between icelandic and nynorsk (one of the two norwegian standard languages) in many ways.
which is neat, considering the islands are geographically between iceland and norway.. the way it's written emphasises its connection to old norse, and makes the language look like icelandic.. icelandic has a letter for the voiced sound 'th', as in this.
the letter is called edh and looks like this: ð. but in faroese, it doesn't have a sound of its own.

Is English a hybrid language?
by LoveUniHateExams inthe short answer is no, it is not.. i have heard one or two proposals that it is, including from langfocus, a usually excellent youtube channel.. but no, english is actually a germanic language which has borrowed many words from other languages.
here are several reasons why english is germanic at its core .... 1. verb forms.
i play - ich spiele.

Despite Hollywood going woke, all is not lost
by LoveUniHateExams inmuch has been made of hollywood pushing woke ideology, typically at the expense of decent plots and characters.. well, all is not lost.. there are still independent directors out there making great movies, and even hollyweird is still capable of making a great movie now and again.. robert eggers - the witch, the lighthouse, the northman.. jennifer kent - the babadook, the nightingale.. ari aster - hereditary, midsommar.. edgar wright - shaun of the dead, hot fuzz, the world's end, last night in soho.. jordan peele - get out, us, nope.
<--- peele is a darling of the left because he pushes the idea of strong black leads in his films, but the reality is he's an independent film-maker who makes the films he wants to make.
personally, i'm not too keen on him and have never seen his films and i don't intend to, but i've heard he's pretty good..

What novels would you recommend?
by LoveUniHateExams ini used to have a large-ish novel collection but my current collection is scaled-down because i was forced to move back to bolton 4 years ago and didn't have enough room for them all in my suitcases.. i currently own just 9 novels.. salem's lot (stephen king).

The worst on-screen kiss?
by LoveUniHateExams inso, i was just thinking about what the worst kiss scene might be.. tbh, i'm not that interested in romance as a genre, but i appreciate a screen romance as much as the next person, as long as it's well done and believable.. i think the kiss between finn and rose in the last jedi must rank as one of the worst.
there was no chemistry between the two characters, and rose's kiss surprised finn as much as the audience, lol.. pure cringe .... https://youtu.be/79cnws71xli.

Shamima Begum's challenge to the stripping of her British citizenship has failed
by LoveUniHateExams inyeah, so shamima begum's challenge has failed.. the ruling body has declared that the home secretary's stripping of her citizenship in 2016 was lawful.. there are some people who say she was somehow 'groomed' but this is complete bullshit.
she was no more groomed by isis than a 15 year-old kid, who sees an advert for chocolate and then goes out and buys a chocolate bar is being groomed by cadbury's, or whatever.. glad to see common sense has won out this time.. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/feb/22/shamima-begum-loses-appeal-removal-british-citizenship.
