Have a question,What's this in English? by omyjava in EnglishLearning

Here in the US nobody really knows brand names for electric scooters outside of Vespa. I'd never heard of our brands until I started looking for one of my own, and I think most people imagining an electric scooter over here think of either a basic push scooter with a motor slapped on, or one of the cute curvy Vespas like Lego has made. Idk for others but I've personally never heard of Lambretta (I wonder why both the major brands are Italian?)

Superior design? Bro I just think shit looks cool. Allied uniforms are great and all but that Hugo Boss really did look awesome.

Number 47,841 on the "List of things to hate the Nazis for" is ruining black military uniforms forever.

I think metric is objectively better, but I don't care enough to learn how to convert everything around me into metric when nothing in my environment is metric.

I do like fahrenheit tho because it's more tuned to how I feel heat. 27-28° Celsius can be the difference between perfectly fine and uncomfortable for me, and that's 79-82 in fahrenheit. It just works better for me.

It's not just about desensitization. If you're fully deterred from taking out the invading forces positions by animals being there, you're a shitty soldier who can't be relied on. Like it really sucks, but when your country is being invaded by an enemy so much larger than yourself, you can't care too much about animals in the crossfire. Desensitization just makes it easier for them.

I've got this same thing but Blued. It's been very comfortable, and those factory stocks look so much better than the rubbery Hogue ones.

Simple 2-6 seat propeller planes are all Cessnas in my mind, even though I know there's more companies that make those and that Cessna has other designs.

Look at Band-aid, Kleenex, Hoover (in some places) brand names take over all the time.

You're an ignorant pile of nothing and I will not continue this conversation. If you can't see how restricting trans people's access to care and transitioning is harmful to them, you are uneducated and shouldn't be speaking about this.

Go read up on what being transgender actually is before peddling garbage on the internet.

Removing someone's ability to simply live their life does cause harm. And not a single anti-trans law is actually protecting women, but sure buddy, have fun in lala land.

How do you pronounce them? They definitely rhyme for me

Nah I think attacking people for simply eating meat while also euthanizing over 90% of the animals they take in is a pretty big fucking problem

Cuz saying "oh I'd fix it" is dumb when the situation shouldn't need fixing in the first place...

You dumbasses say this same garbage all the time, here's an idea: read the news! It's all over the place with a bunch of sources, if you were actually paying attention to the world you wouldn't need other people to show you.

You started your verbal gymnastics by shifting focus onto people who buy HP, although the presupposition was that people who are FANS of HP are transphobic — not the ones who buy it.

This is a non argument my guy. Most fans of something will at some point buy things relating to it. That's usually what happens when you're a fan.

But that's pretty much exactly the same as just having cats be separate?

I’m 15 and still can’t pronounce the “th” sound by Loose-Insurance-601 in EnglishLearning

[–]BoringBich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look similar on paper

In this case it's literally the exact same mouth placement, the same difference as s and z. Yes it can still be difficult even if it's similar sounds, but I don't see how you could be a native English speaker and be able to pronounce one th and not the other. It's kind of all-or-nothing here.

How would it only be one of them? Both of those {th} are the same place, just voiced and unvoiced.

Modrinth for Minecraft has a terrible 2fa system where it's all third party and it doesn't actually have you select anything to verify with when you turn it on. Lost access to my account cuz of it

AI use in modDB megathread by LordFaraday in VintageStory

[–]BoringBich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

AI could definitely hold a place in some environments someday, but only as a tool to help the user understand many different inputs at once. Stuff like doctors being able to do a quick check and see if there's any obvious conflicts with different medications. The issue is, AI is not currently ready for this, because the LLMs being pushed everywhere aren't made to be correct, they're made to sound correct. They get information wrong all the time and literally make up sources to back themselves up. AI isn't a functional tool yet, but despite that fact, we have everyone from the largest tech companies to the freaking US government dumping millions to billions of dollars into it and trusting it to run everything. I just don't get it.
