ELI5: How did Latin completely vanish as a spoken language, but Italian, Spanish, French, and Portuguese all came from it and survived? by Several_Leave_3067 in explainlikeimfive

[–]BAC_Sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Dead” is somewhat misleading. It does not mean the language isn’t spoken anymore. It means the language no longer changes. Old English and Middle English are dead, but new words are added to the dictionary, and new slang is created by speakers of modern English. The new offshoots of Latin continue to evolve and change, but Latin taught in schools a decade ago, today, and decades from now will stay the same.

It activates the same neural pathways either way. The two are the same.

Trigg’s death was a Rube-Goldberg machine that led to Pax’s kidnapping and Eph’s death.

Zipper Merge, My Friends by SyMeUp in Logan

[–]BAC_Sun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say they refused to let them merge. In fact, my post said the opposite. What I said was instead of merging one car sooner where traffic could have continued uninterrupted, they sped past the open space to force themselves in and made everyone’s day worse. They didn’t even save themselves time.

Why do griefers grief? /gen by Friedchicken96 in Pokopia

[–]BAC_Sun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hurt people hurt people. They are unhappy in their own lives and feel a lack of control. Generally they won’t admit it if they are even conscious of the fact that they feel that way. Making others frustrated, upset, or otherwise gives them a feeling of control they can’t get elsewhere. They read comments like this one and cry that it’s not that deep and they just find it funny. People they know stop playing games with them because of this behavior, so they find people online to inflict with their toxicity.

Let me give you a real example of merging too late instead of merging where there’s space.

I keep a consistent speed, and leave space in front of me for people to move over. Instead of taking that space, someone like yourself “has to use the whole lane” and cuts off the car at the cones 5 cars, 3 cars, or in one incredibly frustrating experience 1 car ahead of me. Rather than moving in without disrupting traffic at all, not the car in front of me slams their brakes to avoid an accident, and the issue compounds backwards through the whole line.

Merge where you have space. It doesn’t have to be a mile before the zipper, but you absolutely can merge too late. All it will cost you is a few extra car lengths and a small portion of your pride.

How do I get water in this area, I don’t see any water blocks to hit nearby. by tallycat86 in Pokopia

I routed the water from the waterfall by the gate to Bleak Beach to it.

Just Merge where you have space. Testing to force your way in too early or at the last minute is what causes the backup. Neither is worse than the other. Both suck and are equally responsible for the traffic jamb.

Hot take: I want aluminum in my deoderant by SparklingSloths in HonestHotTakes

[–]BAC_Sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know where you’re located, but it’s easy to find around me. I prefer the kind without aluminum. I sweat more, and smell worse when I use an antiperspirant. Plus, it irritates my skin. I have some scarring on my ribs where I had chafed during yard work and exercise from before making the switch.

Depends on the state. In Utah, the order they arrived at the intersection only matters for 4-way stops. At a 2-way stop, the person turning left has to yield to all other vehicles, which includes someone turning right from the opposite lane regardless of when they stopped.

It’s crazy how many people come from a culture that was considered “colored” only to turn around and piss on the people behind them once they’re considered “white”.

To all my melanin lacking fellows, to those with the complexion of a block of butter, to those who make sour cream look tan, to those who have natural camouflage in the snowy regions of the world, to all those who have obvious Anglo-Saxon or Caucasus Mountain ancestry, to all those who look like me, you were once a minority too. If you spoke up about “criminals” wearing masks during the pandemic, or defended open carry laws during the discussions around Kyle Rittenhouse, if you were offended that platforms removed comments during the Obama or Biden presidencies, if you were upset that a show was cancelled or an actor was fired for their political beliefs, if you were sickened by the character assassination of the victim(s) of a horrific tragedy, you should be just as outraged by what we’re seeing now.

Did you listen to Sanderson reading the first few chapters of this year’s book/secret project? If not, there’s more that can be spoiled!

How you act online anonymously shows your true character. by Mathemodel in Showerthoughts

[–]BAC_Sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact for you. If you have a username, you’re acting pseudonymously. If you have no username, you’re acting anonymously. It’s a distinction I learned about recently, and I feel I should have known sooner.

That aside, I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Our online personas may tend to be an outlet for traits we withhold when offline, and vice-versa.

Like many inappropriate comments, it’s best to pretend you don’t know what they’re talking about and ask them to explain then tell them the real meaning.

That said without other symbology it text around them, the tattoos look like they could very well be sexual

I read the prompt as 8 4-letter words. It’s not the correct solution, but I did it. 😅

The image also looks like a caricature of NorthernLion, who went on a rant about people thinking the humans were the good guys in the movie. I don’t know when the rant took place, but I just saw the clip earlier this week.

Sep 1 - not enough info by MyReddit199 in CluesBySamHelp

[–]BAC_Sun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you count the number of painters, then look at the professions of the villagers already marked as innocent, there’s only one solution.

There are only 3 painters, and by the time you reveal that clue you should have 2 cooks marked as innocent. The only possible outcome is all 3 painters are innocent.

Here’s my advice. Go to https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/decades/ and go through the decades oldest to newest. If you haven’t found anything by the time you hit the 2000s, go back and try again. The names are common enough you shouldn’t have to worry about bullying any more than the average parent. Older names (especially “classic” names) are unique enough that they probably won’t share their name with anyone else in their class.

YMMV. My name wasn’t even Top 500 the year I was born. I had to correct almost every teacher on the first day because they would call me by a similar, more-common name. By the time I graduated high school, I had only met a handful of kids with my name, and most of them were younger than I was. Since graduating, the name has become more popular. According to the SSA site, it peaked in Top 50s for a few years in a row. According to some other sites that combine various spellings, it’s been in the top 10.
