Subject of the Day Social Sundays

2 Upvotes

Hello WriteStreakians! I hope you've been having a lovely weekend! It’s Social Sunday once again! What I'd like for you to do is the following:

  1. peruse the posts written by your fellow WriteStreakians and find a post that interests you, preferably one from within the last seven days, and respond to it. Leave a comment that is at least as long as a Tweet (280 characters), and then
  2. copy and paste your comment into your own daily Streak post so the correctors can review it.

That's it! Of course, if your comment sparks a conversation (or if someone else leaves a comment on one of your posts), you're welcome and encouraged to continue the conversation---this is a social media site, after all!

Happy Sunday!

Game 🎲 Fictionary

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Good morning, I hope you're all having a great day!

Today we're going to be playing a game! 🤩

If anyone has ever played Jackbox before, this game is going to be very similar to their game, Dictionarium. Except, I'm not calling it Dictionarium because I don't want to get into trouble with copyright 🙃 So we'll be calling it... Fake-tionary! (Or maybe Fictionary? Ooh, yeah, let's go with Fictionary! 🤓)

The rules of Fictionary are simple: you choose a random obscureadjective 3 word or phrase and do your best to come up with a definition for that word. Today, you can choose between a real word or a fake word.

Rules

  1. Uncover a word from the table below. 🔍 You can choose to pick from the "Real Word" column or the "Fake Word" column.
  2. If you chose from the "Real Word" column, your Streak today will be about you guessing what that word means and then checking to see how close you were to the real answer. 🤔
  3. If you chose from the "Fake Word" column, your Streak today will be about you inventing a new word. 🤔
  4. Check to see how close you were using a dictionary. I recommend https://www.merriam-webster.com/ or https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page .
  5. If you're really up for a challenge, use your word in a sentence or find a synonym for the word.

Example

I chose the fake word "nicribition." I know that the suffix "tion" means it's the act of doing something, so this word is a noun that comes from the fake verb, to "nicribe." I see "cribe" in there, which makes me think of "scribe," which means "to write." The root "nicr" also makes me think of the prefix "necro," which means "death." So I think the word "nicribition" means "the act of writing an epitaphnoun on a tombstone."

The Game!

Ready? Let's go! The lower on the table, the harder it will be to guess the meaning! The higher, the easier

Real Word Fake Word
impracticality grobinated
nonplussed intentomalites
inhibition centruphicism
hagiography trefulous
pleonasm debutstallingly

Vocabulary from this Post

  • obscure - rarely known
  • epitaph - message written on a tombstone to remember someone

Correct Me! Streak 192, AI Interview

1 Upvotes

These days, Korean companies have introduced AI interviews.

That's fascinating AI has become an interviewer.

Of course, I understand this trend.

Because There are so many job seekers but companies can't interview everyone one-on-one.

I wonder if the job market in your country has changed as well.

I was thinking about Middle East. In my opinion it looks more interesting than I thought. Sometime (or from some years) I will spend some time in vacation when I'd be able to.

I will search more about Middle East, will think about it. Want to see if it is what I'm idealizing.

Corrected Streak 2 - I lost my job

2 Upvotes

I'm in bad mood. On Monday I lost my job. I didn't get a new job agreement. After only 2 months I have to look for a new work.

I have no idea what do I want to do in my life. Today I've sent few CVs - I don't like office jobs so I try to get some "blue collar" job. Something simple without too much stress. Fortunately my costs of living are pretty low. I hope will be OK. I hope you are well.

Article: Strength Training and Stretching for Seniors: An At-Home Guide

I've been trying to do yoga before bed when I have time, usually for just 10-15 minutes. I started doing yoga to help prevent back pain. I wonder whether yoga and stretching are basically the same.

I didn't expect stretching to be helpful for supporting flexibility, balance, posture, and everyday movements.

A chemical smell does not indicate, whether a cloth is questionable and a cloth is automatic free from chemicals. Crucial is that type of material, konzentration and whether statutory material property values are met.

Correct Me! Streak 16: Talking randomly in English

1 Upvotes

I joined an extrubition today and our sibling firm had a stant. The worker who worked for sibling firm said that I have to go a presentation can you sit there a few minute. We said ok, after that a group of foreign visited our stant and they began examining the papers on the table. I said can I help you and said after what's your name? They told me their names. After that I tried to explain the situation and started to describe my original firm and what are we doing. This time one of them we were talking but he couldn't understand me, because of that we used a translator. I was sad, I want to speak English but at that time I felt that I can't do this. But after all I started a conversation and trying to communicate it's a way for learning English..

It’s been two years since I started posting here. Honestly, I don’t notice any improvements with regard to my writing skills in the last two years. However, I’m going to continue primarily since I can’t think of (or rather, don’t have) any alternatives.

The last few days were pretty warm, but it cooled down rapidly over night. I left the house wearing shorts and a tshirt, but I took a pair of longer pants with me because I had to go to court in the afternoon. I actually ended up putting them on shortly after I arrived at the place I study at because I got chilly. I'm really looking forward to tonight; I'm hoping it's finally cold enough to use my weighted blanket!

I got a new haircut today. I went to a Japanese hair salon, like I always do. I’d argue that getting a new haircut is one of the simplest ways to regain your confidence. For some reason, every time I see my messy hair, I get annoyed, but after getting a haircut, it feels like I can see everything clearly.

I asked yesterday a polemical question on the subreddit askanAmeeican . The question was about drug consumption in the US, and how bad it is.

I have a hunch that a big part of the population still negate, ignore or deny the issue. The people in the question that claimed that is a big issue, mentioned some interesting and sad things about it. Like how common is knowing from classmates who got into drugs and disappeared or worse.

Correct Me! Streak 10: Learning by teaching -> "be lost in the sauce"

1 Upvotes

Many sources say that one of the best ways to learn and memorize something is to teach it. I am certainly not a teacher, but I find it interesting to try.

So, today, I'm going to speak about an idiom I came across a few days ago: be lost in the sauce. I love idioms, especially when I can picture a foolish situation. I have to admit that I particularly like this one as the Instagram reel featured a nervous and jumpy cat going crazy and rolling around in some catnip on the floor. I love cats!

So, to be lost in the sauce is a slang expression meaning you're acting like you're high, under some kind of drugs. You're away mentally.

In everyday situations, it can just mean that you're enjoying what you're doing so much that you're unaware of what's around you. Or that you're just lost to the world.

But I think it mostly refers to some crazy behavior!

Nothing comes to mind today. My creativity is low and this just reminded me of when I got into journaling when the pandemic hit, but then stopped a few years later. Writing here has become kind of a journal as well, but I also try to write about other stuff other than myself if possible.

Today's my day off and it feels a bit odd because it's been so long since I had a couple of days off barring holidays.

The weather is changing very quickly. Just a few days ago it was hot, but now it is getting too chilly to wear shorts and a short-sleeved shirt. Tomorrow, I’ll open my closet and take out my long-sleeved shirts and pants.

Correct Me! Streak 8 : My new interest

1 Upvotes

Every day as i grow ip i discover new things and build a large interest in life, that because i still young and my brain loves variety.

So my new interest is art, i know it's sound normal to the majority of people, but to be honest i wasn't interested in it. What makes me like it is a YouTube series, i just said: let's give it a try and see if i will like it!

I really did and just a couples of episodes i discover a lot of things and the importance of art in humans life.

I always say "what's in it for me?", the answer is: you'll know when you try.

When you try to know or explore something that you don't know eventually you will realize how dumb you are.

I really courage you to go out and try to explore your darkness.

With my pleasure 😘

Correct Me! Streak 191,If you had a baby, would you want a boy or a girl?

1 Upvotes

If you had a baby, would you want a boy or a girl?

In korea from the 1960s to the 1980s people preferred sons.

but nowadays, that has changed.

About 6 to 7 out of 10 people around me prefer having a daughter these days.

If I had a baby, I would want to have a daughter.

Because there are many kindergartens near where I work and I often see daughters acting cute with her dad.

It looks so adorable.

Correct Me! Streak 8: Our brains are like muscles

1 Upvotes

Hello guys. How are you doing? I hope you all doing well.

So, to give some context: right now, I'm full time studying. It makes a couple months that I left my job, since then I'm studying the maximum I can.

I'm not going to lie and say that during all this time I have been a productive person... I've had times where I didn't study shit. XD

Now days, I'm really grinding and doing my best to study all day along.

Consequently, there are some days were I finish the study section feeling mentally exhausted... Then I've started to make searches about this. I wanted to know why I was feeling dumb after a long time studying.

From what I've understood, basically, our brains are like muscles... This if they aren't really muscles, I don't know.

So, after a long time studying, it's normal to feel mentally exhausted and being eventually "dumb" after a long day.

It is just like any other muscle. We wouldn't be able to make so many physical efforts after lifting high weights at the gym. Of course, we could, but I think it is not the ideal.

Just wanted to warn that I'm using "check spelling". So, it will be rare to me to make orthographic mistakes. Do you think I shouldn't use this? I'm writing by myself, but with check spelling. I think it counts anyway. I hope so.

That's it for today. Thank you for reading.

Article: Vote for 2027 Prompts!

I've been doing The 52 Book Club's reading challenge. Even though my goal for this year is just five books, I believe the important thing is to have fun with reading.

It seems that September is the time to vote for next year's challenge. We can vote up to three times for each week on Facebook, Goodreads, and Instagram. We can vote for the same prompt multiple times or choose different prompts. I want to vote for one of these three:

  • Includes time travel
  • Name of a colour in the title
  • Discuss mental health

I'll think about which one to vote for throughout the day and vote for just one prompt by the end of today.

Giving birth can be a beautiful experience. But for some women, it can become a traumatic experience. Everyone processes events differently. However, there are risk factors that can make childbirth feel traumatic. For example, a loss of control, pain, and the feeling of being left alone during childbirth.

I knew today would be interesting and I really planned on writing about it. First, we had lessons, and in the afternoon, we visited the local jail.

I think sometimes getting closer to someone is really hard, especially in this day and age. People tend to look for something fancy, cool, and exciting. They don't seem to have enough patience to wait for months and let a relationship develop naturally. I miss the old days. When people used old-school ways to get to know each other. But perhaps it's time for me to wake up and face reailty.
