Anti-feminism has taken a huge hold in SK. it's partially related to the draft, but that's nothing new. women have been getting increased respect over the past decades, esp in sharp contrast to the pre-war era when women didnt even deserve names beyond "X's mom"

I really don't like the addition of cuckoldry into the story line. Twice now it comes up? Fuck that. Why not just name him Jesus? The storyline has about as much to do with Jesus as O'Brien.

Originally the joke was funny because of the thought of having someone in charge of staring at the transporter room all day was an absurd realization about the Trek universe. But he was a beloved character in every way.

Actually that person seemed to have handled this in a remarkably mature, restrained, and polite fashion. They were somewhat open-minded that their neighbor could be a decent person, if not a bit presumptuous and naive at first seeing the Trump sign.

It's a bit bizarre seeing someone talk to a conservative for the first time, but honestly... this kind of approach would make a great model for how leftist should generally approach conservatives. This is in a whole different class of good compared to a lot of the bullshit they (and yall) say online.

Kudos to them, shame on the shamers.

Those instances are terrible for many, many reasons. Transphobia is NOT one of those reasons.

Can you think of a greater blasphemy than to say that some junk written by mortals is the word of the absolute highest creator imaginable?

Korean to English is a mess. It doesn't help that Koreans don't trust native English speakers to do it, unless they're ethnically Korean. The fact that ethnic Korean-Americans get hired to do the job over my white friends who are clearly better at the language, that is the most frustrating.

Please understand it.

that's even worse! especially because the vast majority of self proclaimed "grammar nazis" (really weird fucking title, guys) don't know shit about linguistics as a science

Skyrim sucks too

 
 

살 and 쌀 are the same word

 

Hear me out. There's nothing innate to an object that makes it "food". It's an attribute we give to certain things that meet certain qualities, i.e. being digestible, nutritious, perhaps tasty or satisfying in some way, etc. We could really ingest just about anything, but we call the stuff that's edible "food". Does that make it a social construct?

Help me understand Voice Recognition tech

I am interested in getting an app that would allow me to make notes via voice-to-text. I work in a field with HIPAA protections. I'm having trouble figuring out the nuances of privacy related to these apps.

First off, is this kind of software considered "AI"? How does it even recognize that a sound equals a word? Do they use LLM tech? Does the tech learn to recognize my voice better over time? Does it use my recordings to learn to understand other's voices? Is this all a black box? How can I take precautions such that no one except me hears the things I transcribe?

This is just such confusing tech! It seems like it's fairly old and common but the more I think about it in relation to current age AI, the more creeped out I get! And yet my doctor uses one regularly... I'll be asking her about it too, don't worry.

Thank you!

 

I appreciate all the hard work you do, but this is a hard No for me. I can't use an app that forces me to view landscape gifs in portrait mode. Is a rotation button a feature you'd consider?

 

Someone told me to post this here and that's all I got to say.

My popular opinion is that I don't like this flavor of subcommunity

 
 

Huh! In my speech, the Tr in "tree" or "trigger" is really close to Chr as in "chree". In fact to pronounce "chree" I have to aspirate so hard to distinguish it from /tr/.

Is this common? [ˈt͡ʃɹi:] instead of [ˈtɹi:]? Why does this happen? Is there something about going from a plosive to an approximant that creates an affricate?

 

I'm working on becoming familiar with wings, chains, uniques, and all the sea animals and skyscrapers. Whatcha see here?
