RE: Is There Really an Advantage to Being a Woman on Steemit?
I haven't been a Steemian long but I have noticed that some of the people who post "hot girl" pics here — whether they themselves fit that description or not — are putting obstacles in the way of their own reward success. For instance, they post too many introduceyourself entries (each Steemian is meant to post approximately one), or they otherwise engage in tag spamming (often inadvertently, I believe), or they post photos found elsewhere on the web and thus get deprecated, if not actually flagged, for lack of originality. As far as the perception that they "have it too easy" goes, I'd bet they could have it much easier if they were smarter about how they post.
So much for that. Now, as for what really matters — you can actually read Sumerian?!
I've definitely seen people chewed out for posting too many #introduceyourself articles, or for tag spamming/unoriginal content. I haven't seen much of the hot girl stuff but it's probably because of my NSFW filter.
Yeah, I can! I was a historian specializing in Mesopotamia in my former life (before I decided to come home and change career trajectories), so I studied a couple of ancient languages.
Thank you for stopping by!
OK, I'll bite. Which other ancient language did you study?
I studied Sumerian and Akkadian in grad school, and dabbled in Egyptian for a short time, and Ancient Greek as an undergrad. I know Latin well enough to tutor high school kids in it (so, basically, Cambridge Latin Course Latin... I'm not like an expert in medieval Latin or anything). Sadly, I'm pretty bad at modern languages... would be really cool if I could speak Spanish or something. :/
I once read a rumor that Sumerian and Akkadian are pretty different.
Haha, that they are!
