(I was asked to repost one of my topics to this page. I was told the readers here are learning English from Steel Under Silk. This can be overwhelming but I hope it will cause a smile or a laugh. I hope this can help you. I did not write this.)
You think English is easy??
I think a retired English teacher was bored.
THIS IS GREAT!
Read all the way to the end.................
This took a lot of work to put together!
1) The bandage was wound around the wound.
2) The farm was used to produce produce.
3) The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
4) We must polish the Polish furniture.
5) He could lead if he would get the lead out.
6) The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
7) Since there is no time like the present, he thought it was time to present the present.
8) A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
9) When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
10) I did not object to the object.
11) The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
12) There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
13) They were too close to the door to close it.
14) The buck does funny things when the does are present.
15) A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
16) To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
17) The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
18) Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
19) I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
20) How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
Let's face it - English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France . Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn't the plural of booth, beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat? Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane. In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital? Ship by truck and send cargo by ship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out and in which, an alarm goes off by going on.
English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race, which, of course, is not a race at all. That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
PS. - Why doesn't 'Buick' rhyme with 'quick'?
You lovers of the English language might enjoy this...
There is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that is 'UP.'
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP and why are the officers UP for election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends.
And we use it to brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver; we warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special.
A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.
We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary.
In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4th of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.
If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used.
It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more. When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out we say it is clearing UP.
When it rains, it wets the earth and often messes things UP.
When it doesn't rain for a while, things dry UP.
One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP,
for now my time is UP, so.......it is time to shut UP!
Now it's UP to you what you do with this email.

Many people believe sexual assault derives from desire. But no, its actually based on violence. Its a distorted desire to dominate and trample on another person. The act of sexual violence can only ever be considered a form of violence enacted to humiliate and destroy someone for a form of gratification (believe it or not rape is usually rooted in nonsexual motives). No amount of change can justify the perpetrators actions nor can it reverse the impact it has on the victim.
The main justification for fictitious rape porn is the fact that it is, fiction. But that only contributes to the big role pornography in general plays in rape culture. Pornography has a very distinct position in RC. Within porn, sex and violence are interconnected which can train people to be aroused by violent sex. This sends the incorrect message to the viewer that this is what ‘normal sex’ looks like. A lot of porn is explicitly ‘rape porn’ which portrays the incorrect message that people enjoy rape and that sexual violence is normal. The media (TV shows, books, art, social media) plays a very important role in rape culture as well. It can desensitise people to the seriousness of sexual violence, sexualises and objectifies victims bodies, and often sympathises with perpetrators instead of survivors. This is not to say reading or watching fictious rape pornography is inherently wrong but it is to say that justifying and supporting it only increases the stigma around rape and often impacts real victims exposed to this sort of media.
Consent is like FRIES.
FREELY GIVEN, meaning no coercion of any form is used.
REVERSIBLE, meaning consent can be taken back at any point.
INFORMED, meaning you can only consent if you know the full story, for example, if someone says they'll use a condom and then they dont, there isn't full consent.
ENTHUSIASTIC, meaning you only do the things you actually want to do, not the things you feel are expected to do, so if you want to have sex but dont want to go down on someone, that is perfectly valid.
SPECIFIC, because a yes to foreplay on a Thursday is not a yes to sex the following Monday. Just because you said yes one time, it does not mean they have consent for any other time. There must be consent every time.
IF YOU EVER FIND YOURSELF STRUGGLING TO DEFINE CONSENT PLEASE WATCH THIS 4 MINUTE VIDEO: https://youtu.be/NLKWEUhOHss?si=GMhcQhv2SJyD54Aq

✦✦✦ IMPORTANT INFO: ✦✦✦
hey everyone. first of all, i apologize for all the unanswered dms. i've been less active these past month/s because i am planning to move to a bigger place because i have adopted new pets. there's a lot of paperworks to do so i am quite busy. also i have to move my business so that's also additional paperwork. aside from that, i have been planning on taking another degree and go back to university. my dream job is to be a vet and some things have happened so i am now considering in taking this course. not yet my final decision since i still have a business to run but on the other hand, i have people who can help me run the business if i ever decide to study again. there's a lot of huge decisions i have to make for my future and i have to properly think it over so my visit on this site will definitely lessen over time. you will see me commenting in mangas but if that is still happening daily, then that's my friend and not me. two of my friends knows this acc and have access to it so there are times they are the ones taking over, rather than me <--- the secret to "why are u always online, bureau?" LMFAOOO. so yeah, that's it. i'm sorry to my friends that i won't be able to reach for a while, i hope y'all have a good day <3
P.S i am still massively inlove with cale, that fact will never change

PS: pls dont be surprise if u dont see me at the top comments anymore, its bc a user is doing that on purpose. they fancy my comments too bc they imitate it, other users told me its not the first time bc apparently takame and kyozana were also victims. they even imitate the "ive alrd bought this" giiirl ur literally 12 what r u talking abt lmao. now that ive put it here, hopefully some of yall can stop dming me abt it lol
PPS: if u have dmed me and i havent responded, pls dont be alarmed. i rarely check my dms now bc i get a lot of dms from bots so my notifs r actually piling up. if i did check the dms then 1) i was doing sth so i was gon reply later 2) i got distracted and forgot ab the dm 3) 84yrs later i suddenly rmbr but now im too awkward and shy to reply bc i forgot 4) i just completely forgot
---
note: if its a troll/distasteful/useless dm then i marked it spam or i blocked u, so dont waste ur time waiting for my response <3
children on my dms getting sillier each year, apparently if ure 30+ ure not allowed to type like this: lowercase, slangs, and little to no punctuations, like how i casually type since my early 20s. Because an adult should always be proper, we have no right to have fun! Since we're on this topic, I should also call out my brother, my two best friends who are 28 and 31, who types just like me. We should change for the better future! #ResponsibleAdults
And apparently, mlm doesn't talk like this. And if you're an mlm, you don't read a lot of BL like me, even though I have a huge reading list of different genres, I still hugely favours BL, thus further confirms their assumption that I am not gay. A child is invalidating my sexuality, because clearly, they know me better than myself, now that's a new one! #BureauIsNotGayPleaseCancel
reminder to self: bish finish ur lists and album smh (actually send help i dont have motivation to finish my lists lmfao and i keep making new empty lists-)
as i was saying: blindfolds, rimming, public sex, dick slaps, and raw fucks. lgbtqia+ event only, go home
fun fact: im not a picky reader, translation: i read anything, interesting or not, so that includes taboo genres: shota, incest, mindbreak, tenta, furry, hypnotism etc etc. dont like it? HIT THAT BLOCK BUTTON and kindly be on ur way. but i bet ure too mad and tihnks ur opinion matters so ofc ure gonna send me a dm wc i will mark as spam so i dont get to see ur ugly ass in my notifs <3
my pronouns are 'he/they' but i do nt mind being addressed in she/her. a lot of ppl have called me she/her (or sis, maam, girl) even on twitter and discord that i got so used to it. (they usually thought im a girl bc of the way i type)
in terms of sexuality, the easy answer is gay, the complicated answer is pansexual, and the specific answer is pansexual panromantic
and im 30+ yrs old. im sorry if yall didnt know and are actually uncomfortable talking w someone older than u ;-;
also get this in ur thick skull:
just bc i have a 4k+ reading list doesnt mean ima moan and bitch if this site gets taken down. u ask me why im here, why not? i get to put a huge reading list w almost every bl that is translated. its like my online library w notification. sometimes i forget to check the official sites and the notif i get here reminds me of it. i get to read in lezhin for example and make a comment here. idk bout yall but i like talking to ppl who shares the same excitement as me while reading a certain story so yea
i read in mangadex, my list there is almost as much w my list here excluding all licensed works since mangadex doesnt allow those in their site. idk man its p dumb i have to spell this out, i aint like some of yall who dont give a shit abt supporting authors. i started reading in mangago and i made a promise to myself that ill get back to the authors by supporting them so yea even if i dont enjoy a story, i still buy their works bc they still deserve the money. so what if im using an illegal site, yall can criticize that but did u even consider going out of ur way to actually buy the official chapters and raws? i dont think so
and to all my secret admirers lurking and putting their efforts on disliking my posts: im shaking and crying from these ppl who r coming @ me ╥﹏╥ my m-my hands are trembling *starts weeping* as i type rn.....
► this is my only acc and this is the only acc w the username bureau of investigaytion. anyone aside from THIS acc is a copycat, esp. those outside mangago. someone dmed me that someone else took my username and is pretending to be me in manga owl ◄

How do yall look at that shower scene and not see rape? I genuinely want to hear someones opinion on this. Mine isnt going to change but thats not the reason im asking, im trying to understand peoples interpretations here.
My opinion cited and edited from womenslaw.org:
When a person says “No,” it means no – it doesn’t matter if s/he is a prostituted person or not. Even if s/he agrees to do one sexual act, if the payer forces him/her to do a different sexual act against his/her will, that is still rape. Prostituted people are much more likely to be raped than non-prostituted people. Using money as a weapon against them after they've clearly expressed they do not want intercourse is rape and sexual exploitation. Dan has been raped by Jaekyung 100% in chapter 8.
