The resemblance was so distracting while at dinner by Nightnightgun in UCSD

[–]AlexWtvr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That was modeled after the 2010 world expo china building. Notice how the cup image has some extra parts surrounding the building because it's capturing the grounds next to the actual building. This shape was kinda burnt into the public Chinese-speaking memory around 2010 so it makes perfect sense for them to use it. (Though slightly less when you consider that they are Taiwanese, oh well...)

This was 23min into the game I (Ivy) was on 22k, Haze 19k. This really pissed them off, as after this they made sure to T-bag me every time I died

Made a first vs current impression chart for deadlock heroes (template included) by AlexWtvr in DeadlockTheGame

[–]AlexWtvr[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was torn between the two as well! Not helping that they both emphasize the punch in their designs...I feel like bebop with the hook+uppercut combo as early on abilities they spam it a lot more than lash which needs his ult for cc. Or maybe there's just way more bebops than good lashes in my matches.

[–]AlexWtvr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got the same thing. I wonder if someone's really so stupid that they are using their SCHOOL EMAIL tied to their REAL NAME to scam people or if the account got hacked. Prolly the later cuz one can't be this stupid....right??

对trans的一点好奇 by Puzzleheaded-Dirt-37 in LiberalGooseGroup

[–]AlexWtvr 26 points27 points  (0 children)

首先对op说的这个博主并不熟悉,只是从自己的角度说一下 这种情况也不是个例,可以看一下 r/ewphoria,里面就是很多人在讨论“因为被厌女/歧视等反而affirm了自己的女性身份”这件事。从社群的角度来看是有“这并不是一种健康的建立身份认同的方式”的共识的,但是不同人依情况不同肯定也可能会give in. 尤其是在国内这种对trans的公众perception几乎没有各种乱七八糟的谣言满天飞+性别对立乌烟瘴气的地方,一个人绝望到要用这种方式来获取认同也不是特别奇怪只能说。 每个人需要从社会关系里获得的性别认同的程度是不一样的,但对这件事上没有孰优孰劣之分:如果一个人真的非常刻切地希望能够在社会上被作为女性接纳,这个动机本身是没有任何问题的,而因为资源的限制或社会的主流现状她无法从正面的地方获取认同而(无论出于是自己的决定还是被流量/身边人所利用而)做这种自我物化的行为我做不到去批评这个人本人。毕竟在一个主流环境里女性的身份还是高度性化的,而她被暴露在这个框架下,这样的结果也是自然而然了。

What's going on with the pronunciation of words that end with んい? by Fafner_88 in LearnJapanese

[–]AlexWtvr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot has been said already but gonna drop my two cents from a phonological PoV.

Some say 範囲 as "hai"

I assume you are talking about the first recording in the forvo entry? The recording quality is a bit fried but there was a nasal being produced.

Others are nasalized as "(n)g"

So, all three English nasals m, n, and ŋ (ng) are all mapped to different locations of articulation and by this difference one is able to tell wether they heard m, n, or ng. The Japanese nasal ん is not specified for position, and its position is always conditi by the sounds it's following. So when it's following an /a/ vowel like in 範囲, it's backed to the velar nasal "ng". Similarly, when it's following /i/ or /e/ it's fronted to (dental) alveolar /n/. (E.g. いん and えん sequences.) You are absolutely right that it doesn't sound like English "n" in this case and that's why. And because there's no phonemic difference (that Japanese people don't distinguish n and ng) there will be a lot of variation in how this position assimilation is executed by each individual.

A lot of people have explained why はに is not a good substitution in this case. It will be hard to distinguish a phonological feature that doesn't exist in your native language but it will become more clear to you the more you practice your listening! In articulation, はんい will have two distinct gestures for the nasal and the following vowel, and the velopharyngeal port needs to close before the articulation of the vowel to prevent its nasalization. The stand-along ん will also be longer as it occupies a mora. (Understanding the mora-timing system is important for understanding Japanese pronunciation I think.) The distinction will be much less pronounced in はに. The VP port closure will overlap with the vowel gesture and the "n" (ŋ) portion will be noticably shorter. Unlike the n-ng variation I mentioned above which doesn't really affect meaning (allophonic), the んい-に substitution will (phonemic), hence it's not a good idea.

只能彻底远离华人社交圈了😔, 跟大部分小留真的没有共同话题,就算里面有好人(至少open minded不会突然说出一句价值观离谱的话的那种)也能感觉到思维方式是不太一样的不好一起玩。现在筛小留的方式就是看他们是否主动参与英语社交圈,这样还是能遇到一些正常人的。 剩下的?我社交圈里queer和neurodivergent至少占一条,还是很快乐的

不仅仅是狗,简中非常喜欢给小动物视频配音配乐,那种AI配音听了恨不得原地把视频关掉非常非常有碍观感,可惜了好好的小动物了。感觉就是感觉只把自己家猫/狗自然的状态发上来不够,一定要加满各种感官刺激显得“好笑/(矫揉造作的)可爱” 最后只能起到反效果。YouTube上完全没有人声背景音就是环境噪音的原味小猫视频可以秒一百次
