It's a very real issue. The main problem is that Coca Cola basically took over the whole country. In my experience you can't find a dinner table without a liter bottle of coke or processed juice. I've gotten strange reactions

An interesting thought, but you've really just made 3-4 SVO sentences rather than 1 SOV sentence.

If it's not too personal, I'm curious to know how a child that young acquires an interest in languages. Do they have a friend from a different background or something like that?

The fun really starts when they get defensive about it and start accusing you of being passive aggressive :)

My recent handwritten gaming experience was Subnautica, where I kept a piece of paper and jotted down rough locations of the points of interest as a way to keep track of directions and distance (shipwreck 5000 meters south by southeast etc.

I'm fortunate to have a newsstand in my (US) town that goes to the trouble of importing some licorices and similar from europe and australia. It's been fun trying new kinds and finding my favorites. Wish I could check out this sho

It's still the same and I agree it's a splash of cold water to sign up for the platform and immediately be put through the gauntlet. I would say it's worth getting through it as none of the actual course material is like that

I agree with your overall point but I don't think those comparisons are very useful. Regardless of my monthly latte consumption, an extra 50/month is 50/month... the only real comparison imo is how much you'd be saving v

I had no idea this was real! I saw the video earlier and thought it was just faked for social media.

It's difficult for me to express in words how much I do NOT want to be the first to experience Mark.

It's an interesting question. My opinion just from things I've read is that they're seeing chunks of the board, where the chunks get bigger as they gain more experience. A beginner looks at one piece at a time, an intermediat

That reminds me of my introduction to linguistics class, where I promptly learned that no one knows what a word is.

Thanks a lot for posting this, I read the whole thing after. These predictions would have been impressive enough in the 60s; to hear that this is coming from 1909 is astounding.

I've been creating a conlang, it's a rewarding activity even if it's never "used" for anything. I majored in linguistics but there are things about language I've learned from doing this that I never really unde

I was about to say the same thing, the whole thing is just confusing to me. There doesn't appear to be any game.

You do, but others don't, and I can't imagine anyone getting confused by a phrase like "I went on a [plane emoji] yesterday!" so it's not a barrier to communication. So where's the issue?

I'm not sure if this helps further the analogy or not, but I would use an AI if it could help with the annoying first part of the puzzle where you just have to spread out the pieces and flip them all over.

As someone who enjoys lifting weights, I agree with you. However, I can easily imagine an argument based on all of the strange add-on effects you get from being immersed in "gym culture". Working out isn't just working out, i

I'm just gonna say it: unless I had a specific reason to use it, I would cross CockroachDB off my list purely based on the name. I don't want to be thinking of cockroaches every time I use my database. Names do have meaning, and I

Hopefully it's not taken in poor taste to compare the situation to a video game, but I can't help but think of Cyberpunk 2077's Dogtown. This zone that's become a den of all sorts of sad behavior, ruled by martial law. T

Are you all aware that there is an entire text article underneath the toy RPG? Follow-up question, are you aware that the article is the real point of this page, and that the game is simply an illustrative example?

by littlekey 2y ago
Yeah, I had the same impression. Art/entertainment in general presupposes that you approach it with a good faith mindset. It's not a "gotcha" to purposely ignore the intended use and then complain about it not working co

Just to throw in another data point, I've seen Overman used several times. Some people like to keep the native German word, some prefer the translation.

Yes, because how dare someone have a non-conventional hobby. Furthermore, how dare they be encouraged to discuss what makes them happy with other people.

The implication is that this is a bad thing, but I don't really see why. If you're not sure who's playing can't you just look at the score overlay and see? I don't follow sports but when I see a game on at a restaur
