说实话,我第一次看到电脑里 куча процессов,тач и курсор began to move with Russian words, I was like, what the fudge? It was a total shock in 2018 when I moved from the States to Ukraine. I mean, growing up in the South, I’m used to seeing a lot of preacher guys and1 Gods, but Russian for devices? That's a whole new level of nuance, my dude.
Then, there’s this whole new concept of корень meaning 'root' in Russian. I swear, the first time I saw it, I thought, Wait, isn't that the thing we use to tap dance on? Turns out, no, it's like the Unix version of 'root' – the admin, the big kahuna. But with a Russian twist – они могут быть политически активны.
I know, I know, I sound like a total Russophile now, but let me just say, man, it’s not always a walk in the park. Remember that one time in Kyiv when my wifi decided to be Wi-Fi? You see, это похожий процесс鸠 a telepathic connection to the router. It just didn’t want to play ball.
And let’s talk about the language barrier. I thought I was bilingual, but then I tried to order a pizza and said 'пожалуйста, я хочу пиццу'. And the bartender was like, 'Wait, that was literally 'please, I want pizza' in Russian? You sure you don’t want лосось ассорти instead?'
So, why do all my devices become устройства? Well, it’s probably because I’m not using them in the US anymore, am I? And that's the beauty of living life on the edge, I guess. You change habitats, languages, and even your devices start speaking to you in a different way. It’s like, hey, Devices, welcome to the new chapter in my life.
