What I should’ve remembered from my Mesopotamian history class: how the city states developed into big empires, the innovations, how the society worked, why we are indebted to these societies

What I have remembered: building walls to stop people doesn’t work

okay so some anon sent an ask to my main that belongs on this blog so @ anon i’m gonna post it on here (idk if you thought that blog was someone else’s?? talking about @ chituttomove here anyway that’s me as well just so you know)

German is gatekeeping Dutch, our grammar is unnecessarily difficult to the point where we don’t have a fucking clue what we’re doing and it’s absolutely impossible for anyone else to grasp, so what I’m saying is Dutch got rid of the over the top grammar stuff and added some spice to the pronunciation and we’re all just salty because it’s the better language

Zelfkennis is het begin van alle wijsheid 

(terrible translations by me bc it’s fun to do: wisdom starts with knowing yourself/Selbsterkennung ist der Anfang der Weisheit)

This is why y'all need to learn Dutch instead of German 😆😂😂

It’s true!
