eww, having to shop at REWE with the doctors and lawyers yuck

@lanodan@queer.hacktivis.me @cell@pl.ebin.zone I honestly don't know what would be a major linguistic impediment for lithuanian speakers learning another language, we even have tonality-lite here (part of accentuation, long accents have either a rising or falling tone, I checked some examples of chinese tonality and that doesn't seem that bad).

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.ie/@niamhgarvey" class="u-url mention">@<span>niamhgarvey</span></a></span> It tangentially reminds me how my classmate loved the feel of my clarinet in the hands, even though she&#39;s a violin player. She especially liked to stick her hand inside the bell.<br />My own sense of touch (or its processing by the brain) is probably underdeveloped because to me the feeling itself is always secondary to something else: e.g., I love how Steinway pianos at CSM _respond_ to the touch, but I&#39;m quite indifferent to the tactile sensation of the keys.<br />Recently my friend briefly held my hand: her hand felt nice and warm, but even then I wonder if the act of human connection was more important to me than the sensory part of it.</p>
