I came up with it when I created my second acc on Reddit; I didn't want to spend time thinking of a username so I just thought of the first two words that described my mood at the time and went with it. It means "melancholic potato", I like how dumb it sounds
that's for sure haha!
3 posts and 68 comments, nothing crazy yet
I forgot Lemmy users can't see who upvoted/downvoted something (votes are still visible in Kbin)
I've noticed there are people who just spam with downvotes for no reason (downvoting a certain community's posts, downvoting all comments under a post, downvoting all posts/comments made by someone they may not like etc), it's pretty weird
My mom was my 1st and 2nd grade teacher (admittedly a great one) and I feel like this helped me understand how my native language works pretty fast, as she'd motivate me to study and thoroughly help me out whenever I needed/wanted to. I was also into reading books so that helped me advance my vocabulary a lot. Now, as an adult, I believe I speak the language better than the average person in my age range but I may be lacking in more advanced vocabulary.
As far as English goes, I started learning at the age of 7 (we typically start learning it in third grade) but it was hideous as I could barely understand or memorize anything. The thing that helped me tremendously was listening to music, reading the lyrics and translating them into Greek. Also, I think the fact my mother tongue is Greek helped me learn English vocab faster/easier to be honest. Moreover, I started talking with a bunch of people whose native language is English during my early teen years which helped me advance a lot. My English is still nowhere near perfect but I'd like to think I'm fairly good at it haha
Reading books, watching movies/series with English subtitles and communicating with native speakers are all great ways to improve your skills in English
same here, sometimes it happens when I'm trying to upvote posts as well

Right and that's why I said she's not innocent and is in the wrong as well. Does that excuse Depp's abusive behavior?
I lurk on my country's subreddit once a day through libreddit or on browser with ads blocked. I used to do that for a couple other small subs but I don't bother doing it as much anymore, I just check what's posted there like 1-2 times a week at this point
ya think? :ρ
Reddit's self-destruction is quite impressive, I'm not going to lie
Η κατασταση ειναι απλα τραγικη. Ακομη θυμαμαι που η πολη δεν ειχε συνελθει ακομη, μηνες μετα τον Ιανο, δεν το πιστευω οτι γινεται ξανα το ιδιο. Τα ιδια στην πολη, τρισχειροτερα στα χωρια, και κυριως στον Παλαμα.
Εσπασαν αρκετα τοπικα ποταμια, λενε στους χωρικους να ανεβουν στις στεγες μεχρι να ερθουν τα ελικοπτερα και οι βαρκες. Προφανως οι περισσοτεροι (ηλικιωμενοι) δεν εχουν τη δυνατοτητα να κανουν κατι τετοιο. Πολλοι εχουν μαζευτει σε μερικα σπιτια που βρισκονται λιγο πιο ψηλα. Ηδη αγνοουνται αρκετα ατομα, δυστυχως δεν τα βλεπω καλα τα πραγματα.
Ειχαμε τις πυρκαγιες, εχουμε τις πλημμυρες...δεν ξερω πώς θα βρει κουραγιο ο κοσμος να αντιμετωπισει αυτες τις καταστασεις και ολες τις συνεπειες που επιφερουν. Ειναι απλα τραγικο.
