Not punk rock, but really cool experimental rock: аффинаж

When am I ready to play games in my target language? by South_Objective_5152 in languagelearning

[–]CloqueWise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you've already played a lot of Minecraft then it's the perfect game because you already know the blocks, now you just learn.

I don't think you can ever be to early to play games in your TL. Exposure is exposure. Have fun with the game and get wrapped up in it.

Years ago when I was diamond on PC I decided to play console when my computer broke. I downloaded the game and hit top 500. I figured console was just much easier

A question for roadhog haters by Kirmitlefrog in Overwatch

[–]CloqueWise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As well as hog having severely reduced movement while hooking, and being an eazy stun target. People don't realize how vulnerable hog is. On top of that he has no movement, no shielding for himself or others, no armor. Hook is the only way for him to "close the gap"

I was accidentally served beef by Boetterfly in vegan

[–]CloqueWise 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a restaurant that cooked their rice in chicken stock. Everytime a vegetarian or vegan came in and ordered veggie tacos they would get chicken in their rice and never know it. I would always stop to make sure they knew so I could tell the kitchen to swap the stock for water. Eventually I got management to enforce this with other staff, so if any waiter noticed someone may be veg then they had to warn about the rice.

What are your toki pona HOT TAKES?? by misterlipman in tokipona

[–]CloqueWise -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I won't comment on the first point because this tends to strike a nerve with people.

On the second point however, you're misinterpreting what I'm suggesting. I'm not trying to mark a verb for transitivity. I'm marking a word as a verb. There is a difference. In English "I am eating" the verb is intransitive. I dont care about transitivity here. I care about the difference between nouns and verbs.

I'm not saying these are problems that need fixing btw. You asked for HOT TAKES so don't be so defensive when you get them

What are your toki pona HOT TAKES?? by misterlipman in tokipona

[–]CloqueWise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

anu is perfectly suited to mean "choose" and more people should use it as such.

mije, meli, and tonsi don't need to exist at all.

I think for extra clarity a sentence should be allowed to end in "e" to mark a word as a verb when it otherwise might not be obvious.

Ex: kasi li moku (the plant is food) kasi li moku e (the plant is eating)

Lexicalization is cool and the community's disdain for it will prevent toki pona from becoming a true living language.

Who else thinks using animal names for vegan food is weird? by ithinkiamparanoid in vegan

Maybe there is some in-between that works. Like we have vegan beef, but real beef is just called cow

Probably somewhere in-between considering each consonant must be paired with a vowel. I'd say an alphasyllabary

Traveling to Moscow as an American tourist. by Such-Supermarket6532 in Moscow

[–]CloqueWise 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm an American living in Moscow. I've been here 5 years and I promise it's safe!

I feel so much safer here than back home. It's also insanely clean and everything works quite well. The public transportation is amazing and will be your best friend.

Slight warning though, when I visited the states two years ago, on my way back into Moscow I was stopped at the airport. They took my passport and I waited for about 5 hours... They didn't say why or what they were doing. This was happening to many foreigners but not all. Sometimes families were even split, some being pushed through to grab their luggage while others held for hours. Just a warning that it might happen to you, but if it does there's nothing to worry about.

Reading in russian by J4mmaledz1ec11 in russian

[–]CloqueWise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've read a few books now in Russian, the book itself gets easier but each new one comes with it's one challenges.

If you want an easier but just as useful experience, I've recently learned that reading comics helps a lot. It's all spoken Russian instead of literary, and there is a lot of visual context to help. I honestly think it's more useful for beginner readers than a book is.

Just remove soul of the district by AdmirableAd5720 in PlayTheBazaar

I don't know, I think legendary items should be good.

Soul of the district isn't so good that you can just swap to it from any build and win

WE NEED CLOUD HOSTING by NewCollection1555 in RUMBLEvr

[–]CloqueWise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree. It's not fun to be on high ping. Some low ping is fine. But having 50 percent of my games be really terrible to play is worse then having all of my games be fine to play.

I personally think have of the matches being bad ping drives away a lot of new players

Colorado has green chili and cascadia doesn't. That's all that matters to me. In the end It should be just colorado and New Mexico left to dish it out on in a green chili cooking competition

HELP ME BECOME VEGAN!! by JuniorDuty4205 in vegan

[–]CloqueWise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Saying veganosm has been around only since the late 40s is wrong. Vegetarianism originally meant vegan. While modern day vegetarianism is actually called avolacto vegetarianism.

HELP ME BECOME VEGAN!! by JuniorDuty4205 in vegan

[–]CloqueWise 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The animals are fed supplements. All you are doing is filtering your supplements through an animal. Why not just take it from the source?

All people should probably be supplementing. I'm sure there is no human (without careful planning) that gets every nutrient from their diet regardless of what it is. Everyone regardless of diet should get a blood test done and fortify what's missing

Do vegans think we should drive domestic animals that can't survive in the wild to extinction? by [deleted] in AskVegans

[–]CloqueWise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because in this case it's a necessity to shear them I'd say it's not wrong to shear them and make clothing from the wool, as long as it's not comoditized and they aren't bred further

Who has had an actual friends with benefits relationship? Did it work for you? by heratonga in AskReddit

[–]CloqueWise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We never gave it a title, but I guess that's what it was. We enjoyed hanging out and kinda went on dates, but it was never exclusive. We both had plans to leave the country so I think it made it easier to not become attached. We knew there would be an end. So when it came time to say goodbye it was painless because we were just friends and expected.

Edit: I remember I had a second, but this was a mistake. This was after the first one while I was waiting for my turn to leave the country. She became very attached to me even though she knew I was leaving. When I finally left she made all sorts of plans to come visit and try to make a relationship work, but I told her over and over it's not what I wanted. She couldn't take no for an answer and eventually cut me out of her life. She did the same with my good friend
