dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Learning languages with a non-gendered native language has always been wild, but French was always particularly tricky.

my only experience trying to learn a language with gender was german, and i basically never could take it seriously. who cares. i was fully prepared to just call everything das, and fuck it. they lost me at having to make the adjectives agree with the noun. fuck that noise, this is like fake difficulty!

similarly, my friend's dad apparently spoke russian well but with absolutely random gender until the day he died.
