People want to doomscroll though

You really pulled the extendo grip out, huh?

How will small artists get to make themselves known, though? Not everyone has the option to play live.

There have been some theories on this phenomenon, with the most prevalent being the tendency for Wikipedia pages to move up a “classification chain”. According to this theory, the Wikipedia Manual of Style guidelines on how to write the lead section of an article recommend that articles begin by defining the topic of the article. A consequence of this style is that the first sentence of an article is almost always a definitional statement, a direct answer to the question “what is [the subject]?”

That’s cheating! I can take medicine with honey as well and even if it stops tasting horrible it’s still the honey doing the heavy lifting. We can agree on a compromise and put honey in the D tier though.

Piss water

I recommend reading this section of the “Spanish colonization of the Americas” Wikipedia article, which has plenty of sources. Obviously they weren’t saints, but, at the time, they were “the dawn of human rights” (cited in the article) and took Christian values very seriously, which is also why they converted all the population forcefully. There’s no denying that, but, as a silver lining, education and religion were almost one and the same, and they did build many universities, schools, etc.

When I visited the United States, they always tried to paint it as “they were all equally bad” when it came to colonizers in the museums I went to. However, I feel like that is because the “situation” with natives was way worse in North America than it was in South America.

In the Spanish empire IIRC they were all given citicenship, so yes it could have been handled better, even in that era. In fact, the latino ethnicity is the result of the mix between the natives and the colonizers, which happened because they were integrated.

I thought it was going to learn from the pages you visit or something. Like this it is kind of useless.

You ate the onion

You don’t see it?

Father and mother are probably the two worst examples. Mother is “mamá” in Spanish, and “mama” in Japanese, not because they’re related, but because babies make that sound a lot.

That said, I agree with you completely. It’s just that that specific example bugged me.

I have so many “tumblr thoughts” throughout the day but since I haven’t got an account there I can’t post them anywhere else, they wouldn’t be accepted unless they were a screencap.

I don’t know about you specifically, but I think the problem might be that it’s too meta. It subverts your expectations really hard but, of course, it will fail if you don’t have any.

I really like this guy’s videos so I’ll take the opportunity to link him. TLDW: it knows it’s a game and that fucks with our brains’ way of experiencing fiction.

I want to say overregularization.

Ironically Plato takes this into account in his allegory. There are lots of levels to “knowledge” (which he equated with goodness); we could be in the same spot just with our heads turned, or right behind the wall, or outside the cave but looking at the reflections in the water. And in each stage everyone believes they’re right and that they know the truth (except maybe in the last one). Honestly I think with fedi we just managed to turn our heads.

Which is why it doesn’t make sense that it’s colored green

Ironically for many commenters here, Tony Zaret must be one of the most apolitical youtubers out there.

It’s an adjective so it must match the gender of the noun before it. So if you want to say non-binary person, since person is femenine, you’d say “persona no binaria”. Unfortunately, however, most nouns change gender depending on the gender of the person referred to. So you can’t say non-binary gardener without resorting to “made up” grammar.
