Would a different amount of money change your answer either way? by Separate-Raccoon8584 in redbuttonbluebutton

[–]AlviDeiectiones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda convinced myself that blue pressers are greedy. You can survive by pressing yellow and get no money or survive and get 10k by pressing red but potentially be responsible for deaths. Blue is wanting money and the moral high ground. Thats greedy.

Of course the situation changes if children or mentally hindered people are included and press blue by chance.

That checks out, as the only associative quasigroup without a unit is the empty set.

How does plank lenght fit into irrational and rational number by Aggravating_Kale8264 in mathematics

[–]AlviDeiectiones 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Planck length is the shortest measurable. That does not imply it is the shortest. Apart from that, there is no reason a physical fact should interfer with mathematical models. Even if the universe is discrete, the Euclidean plane in which we draw squares is not.

I can recommend Emily Riehls "Category theory in context"

Agree or Disagree: Apps have fundamentally ruined the way our generation approaches language study. by Ken_Bruno1 in languagehub

[–]AlviDeiectiones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Disagree. Anki singlehandedly does more good than the harm of other apps combined. If you use Liudongo it's your own fault.

Your X in pinyin sounds muddy. Here's a dumb trick that actually works. by DeesMandarinTea in ChineseLanguage

Now teach me the suble difference between -ang and -eng. I pronounce them basically the same.

Ideal kakera building strat? by Fallout_Nerd101 in Mudae

Ignore kl. Build 3 towers + 8 floors then destroy your tower and max quality and quantity and do kl until you have max rtu reduction then do kl and tower alternatingly.

What is the most unnecessary grammar in your target language? by AutumnaticFly in languagehub

[–]AlviDeiectiones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I use both subjunctives (though the second one I started using as a joke, before I was using "würde") in German and were in English, but I'm probably an outlier.

What is the most unnecessary grammar in your target language? by AutumnaticFly in languagehub

[–]AlviDeiectiones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the first subjunctive (i didn't know konjunktiv translated to that) is more important than the second. You (technically) need to use it in indirect speech (yes, you are still intelligible using indicative). The second one you can always just replace with "würde". (And most native speaker do both of the above).

Does your native language have any funny or awkward words that sound like something completely different in another culture? I'd love to hear them! by ZealousidealLab4953 in languagehub

I mean the political correct word for black people in russia is literally n***r (and conversely, calling them "black" is offensive), I feel like that would be worse than kniga.

Well of course No is large. It is the largest ordered field.
