@lemmy.worldDue to pop culture (movies, shows, games, etc.) I learned English. I also picked up two other languages due to school and influences from vacations.
So I’m fluent in three languages (Dutch, German and English) and can speak enough French to manage on vacations.
I read most of my books in English because I like to read books in their original language. I read a lot of hard scifi, this is a pretty specific genre and there’s little books in Dutch hard scifi books.
In Dutch I read general novels with no specific genre.
In the past I was very absolute in many ways and I’ve changed this in other aspects in my life.
I’m wondering if I can do the same with alcohol.
It just feels like I have something special by not drinking for this many years.
Thanks for the information. This is putting me off on Lemmy a bit, feels like I got to keep up with the latest instance drama to ensure I have a good experience.
Guess that’s the trade of with a decentralized system for now.
I also only read English for a long time instead of my own language.
I picked up some books in my native language and was pleasantly surprised.
The language in itself doesn’t matter but I could notice the writer was from my culture. There’re slight cultural references in books written by people from my culture.
In books from American writers theres also these cultural references which I understand because I grew up on the internet but still it’s not my culture.
I would recommend to check if you’re country/culture has some literature award prizes and check out some of the top books. Make sure to try a couple as a well reviewed book might not mean it’s a good fit for you.
So this would mean I wouldn’t see some piracy related content? Because I’m subscribed to some piracy communities and I think I can see the content.
I’m not really up to date with how the links between the different Lemmy instances work
Don’t think so, it’s just that I see people around me drinking a few and calling it a night these festive holidays.
Thanks man, hit the nail on the head.
When I stopped drinking I didn’t really considered I had a drinking issue.
On the other hand I also knew that people without a drinking issue would be looking at sober communities online.
Pentax ME SLR camera, bought by my uncle in the 70s. Got some dents and scratches but it’s still taking beautiful pics.
There is something better than a robot, it’s the supermarket. Never ever am I making puff pastry again.
