Lol fug :----D

Anglos confusing me with their dumb words again. Why is it day, but diary? Why is dairy a milk product?

because muh fancy latin words, what are you, a pleb who wants to speak filthy peasant language?

 

Fun fact: the "dai" in "dairy" is also the same as the "dy" in "lady".

I already am, when speaking English.

 

Pls elaborate.

You probably know the word in German as "Teig".

For someone so interested in etymology, you're really bad at explaining it. I'm going to look it up myself.

I'm just teasing you.

 

The English terms "lord" and "lady" are shortenings of Old English "hlæf-ward" and "hlæf-diġe" - so "loaf-ward" and "loaf-kneader" ("diġe" didn't transmit as a verb.)

But for whatever reason "diġe" on its own came to mean a dairymaid (this is shared with Norse - "deigja" is a dairymaid in Icelandic), so by extension, when you add a suffix "-ry" you get what a dairymaid brings. But since "diġe" degenerated when soft ġs get lost (this is why there's a "gh" that lengthens vowels in English) - the word came to be written most commonly "dey", but remained as "-dy" in "lady" and as "dai-" in "dairy".

Where are you looking this up? en.wiktionary.org gives pretty understandable explanations of the semantics of this.

memory lol

I'm happy you're having fun painting figures Deutschlan!

Do you have PTSD which you are trying to overcome? I do. I like to draw because when I'm making pictures I'm too focused to think about anything else, and it makes me happy seeing what I made all by myself.

Not sure if it is PTSD. Mainly depression, social anxiety, etc. I'm having trouble living a normal life because I procrastinate for hours or days on end, avoid doing certain things while at the same time suffering immensely that I'm not getting things done. It's all very complicated and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it and overcome my problems with the help of a therapist.

- Gained 5kg (most obese I've ever been in my life)

- Started gym again (painful)

- Depressed due to life choices.

Worst part is I had a nightmare about my new boss being in my real daily life critizing me and forcing me to get a hold of my shit (my subconscious trying to force me out of the shitty lifestyle)

 

 

That's a symptom not the cause. Laziness and procrastination usually is a sign of some deep-rooted fear, like anxiety about your future, about meeting new people etc.

Interesting.

t. proprocrastinator & failing studies because of it

This is very fascinating. I also procrastinate a lot.

Do you have any suggestions for how to pursue the roots of this fear? I don't know what mine could be, but I do have ADHD and assburger. The last time I wasn't a procrastinator was when I was a child in the 5th or 6th grade. Ever since then it continued to get worse. Now I am 25 and I even procrastinate going to sleep.

Yeah, it's delaying things that feel uncomfortable to do. Anxiety/fear has lot to do with it, but not all.

Also it could develop into a habit.

 

 

No. I'm on KC. I'm a lazy procrastinator as well. I'm just repeating what I heard in some youtube video long time ago.

Maybe if we are all lazy procrastinators, we should help motivate eachother?

I also want to help make all of the Bernds feel better from whatever has happened to them which has resulted in their depression or othersuch mental illness.

You can do it Bernd!
