I have geard this being claimed before but some say it's don't and that it's just mythbuilding by historians
but if there are medieval texts attesting to this then I guess it mist be true
Did you know that people didn't use to read quietly like most of us do today? People used to look at the letters, read them aloud and then hear their own voice and understand their own words. There are texts from the middle ages that talk about people who didn't have to do that to understand and they were considered to have expert reading skills.
It also makes sense if you look at certain writing conventions that lacked all kinds of little helping things we now have to make the silent mode of reading easier. Forexamplespacesbetweenwordsandpunctuation

How do I know if I'm non-binary, genderqueer or something like that?
I never had an issue thinking of myself as a heterosexual man. But recently I've heard non-binary and other "queer" people talk about themselves and I feel like they are just not 100% fitting stereotypical gender ideals and instead of just ignoring the 5% difference they make a huge issue out of it. I feel like I might be able to pass as *something* by their definitions, which would give me great argumentative power in conversation with these people, if I'm not a cis-het white male anymore.
I don't know if any of that made sense. Thoughts?

It is my favourite fictional setting.
It has some pretty unique things like the Skaven or the Chaos gods, which are the main force of evil and are basically created by negative human emotions. It has a vast amount of lore (we're talking probably more than 100 books) and still feels like classic fantasy. It is dark and gritty, but is relatable, because the main protagonists of many stories are ordinary humans.
I'm not aware of any movies, but the Total War games are very popular right now. Here is a recent trailer: YouTube: YaLtE3cCEIs It shows the forces of Chaos, coming from the cursed wastelands in the far east, fighting Kislev, which is a snowy, slav-inspired faction.
Vermintide was also a big hit: YouTube: KxTaQmhztVQ
Almost every single time I get into internet arguments it is because someone thinks I'm implying something, when I just meant what I wrote literally the way I wrote it.
I have no social life and used to go on imageboards to cope. But I honestly can't stand 4kanker or kohl anymore and this board isn't really hitting the spot, either. What am I supposed to do?

well, if kyssing isn't an option, go grab a music instrument, practise hard* for 3-6 months and go meet people at jam sessions.
Picking a small one that is easy to carry around with you is always a good idea.
Also, usually musicians are super chill people and even for some former bullied, antisocial, depressed nerd it wasn't awkward at all around them.
My guitar literally is my portal to social life. Tomorrow evening I will likely hang out alone with 3 grills outsides to sing and strum some cowboy chords.
If this works for me, it will work for you too.
\*Practising hard means at LEAST 1h/day
I just had a stressful social interaction (bydlo groundskeeper) and now I need to calm my nerves for a moment until I can do anything else.

D-g do I ever love bydlo yelling at me.
I was once out walking for cough syrup and a bydlo family yelled at me "There goes the king of <insert former city I lived in> and I laughed while waving back!" Top Canadian midwinter banter.
Or the market bydlo in Laos or Cambodia that would catcall me always brightened me up.
Op needs to harden the fuck up a bit.
