    1. The Esperanto word for “to be” is “esti”. “Estas” means “is”. The Spanish equivalent would be “ser” which is not even close to the same word.
    2. Just because Esperanto shares some vocabulary and phonemes with Spanish doesn’t make it a knockoff. I guarantee if you speak Portuguese to an English person they’ll think it sounds like Spanish but that doesn’t make Portuguese a copy of Spanish.
    3. I don’t speak Spanish but I live around enough Spanish-speakers, and speak enough Brazilian Portuguese that I can tell the difference between Spanish and a conlang made by a Polish man.



  • I’ve been speaking Esperanto for three years so yes. Esperanza, or a word like it, also happens to be the word for hope in most Romance languages (one of the language families that Dr. L.L. Zamenhof was pulling from so that the vocabulary would be familiar to large groups of people).

    If you’re gonna come here and say Esperanto sucks because it’s too similar to Spanish then give me examples of say, grammar that Zamenhof took from Spanish that doesn’t appear in other Romance languages.











  • Since I’m not planning on making it super realistic, I was thinking of adding a jib and spinnaker as potential upgrades to increase the speed of the boat at certain angles. The extra sails would move on their own based on the angles and wind speed.

    With regards to hiking and falling out of the boat, I’m leaning more towards a disembodied camera instead of a first-person character so probably not.

    I’m not sure if I’ll add reading the water as a thing but I’ll keep it in mind!








  • Mentioned in this article is something I’ve been wondering about recently. The author says you should counter “so you want to inject children with chemicals?” with “Is that what you call medicine that saves dysphoric children from suicide?”. I haven’t been able to find it yet so could somebody link the source that they use to say that gender affirming care saves trans youth from suicide? I’ve heard a lot of opinions about it but I’ve never seen the studies.
