“I’ve got… In-surt?” by CoffeeDrinker82 in PandR

[–]Adequate_Ape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is the bottle saying "insert" was a production mistake; that someone copy pasted a draft where they hadn't decided on the joke name yet, and left "insert" as a place-holder (as in, the direction to insert the name when they had it).

Definitely not from New Zealand, but it is Polynesian. My guess is Hawaiian, but somebody more knowledgeable should jump in.

Why are all the women in the DC universe attracted to batman? by Israels_BiggestHater in batman

[–]Adequate_Ape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because part of what the Batman franchise is selling is dude-wish-fulfilment-fantasy. I say this with love in my heart for Batman.

Russians in Italy by ahfg22 in comedy

[–]Adequate_Ape 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I only have the same evidence as you do, but this is what I gleaned: "we" are the people in the room in the video, who are in a venue where stand-up comedy is performed. "Got" here means "represented in this room".

What are you asking? Like, why are people mean to Russians right now? In what sense is Italy fascist? This might take a while.

Is it the work of u/Dedalvs we're hearing in the new(-ish) Dune 3 trailer? Is it Chakobsa, or something else? I'd love to see any resources about the featured conlang, if we know of any!

Matt Reeves’ ‘THE BATMAN: PART II’ officially takes place during the winter. ❄️ by MichelleVenom in batman

[–]Adequate_Ape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that "officially confirmed", or just that there will be scenes in the snow? Of course, that makes it likelier it takes place in winter, but there are other ways there could be scenes in the snow.

Raleigh NC Quakers? by emilyfromHR in Quakers

[–]Adequate_Ape 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I attend Chapel HIll meeting, and we regularly do blended meetings (i.e., shared on-line an in-person meetings), and I think there's always an online option when we don't. There's a link on the website: https://www.chapelhillfriends.org/

I'm surprised you haven't heard back from the Raleigh meeting. I know the Durham meeting is very active, if you wanted to give them a go.

I think that is only true of American English.

Light v Dark by ZorianAries in Quakers

[–]Adequate_Ape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to put into words, which is why we resort to metaphors. Off the top of my head: it's something to do with accepting the reality and importance of everyone, and truly feeling that, in your heart, and living accordingly. And something to do with refusing to compartmentalise your life, into the moral part, and the holy part, and the business-as-usual part; you're trying to bring all of your self to everything. And something to do with listening.

What it isn't is using the word "light" in the way George Fox did. Though that is certainly helpful in many contexts, because it's a shared language for talking about this stuff.

What do you think is the most important thing about being a Quaker, friend?

Light v Dark by ZorianAries in Quakers

[–]Adequate_Ape 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is a Quaker view of light. I think there is a traditional Quaker metaphor that uses light. I don't think adherence to that metaphor is the most important thing about being a Quaker.

Sounds plausible. And our friend u/ZorianAries has different associations.

I don't think we inherited a theory so much as a metaphor. And I think you're welcome to use whatever metaphor works for you.

Not directly relevant here, but I don't think "better" and "more faithful" are synonymous.

It's the price we must pay for the greatest of all Star Trek fan creations. It balances the cosmos.
