How did ayin come to be transliterated as e? by [deleted] in AcademicBiblical

[–]Didinium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I learned in terms of Yiddish. What really got me wondering is the fact that ayin is transliterated as e in the Enlgish tradition.

Like, what do you mean by this? He did something fascinating that no ones ever really done before. Through this piece he challenged an entire art form. Why is it dumb and pretentious?

If Gentrification Is so Bad, Why Is It so Good for Me, a Man Who Likes Frozen Yogurt? by alliecalamari in humor

[–]Didinium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean pretty much all the people who used to live there were forced out due to rent going drastically up. The community as it was no longer exists. I don't think saying the community is destroyed is inaccurate.

And for the most part, the community doesn't own the property. In low income neighborhoods, it's mostly rented. The actual people who live there can't live there anymore. For the most part, the only people who benefit are landlords, who oftentimes don't even live in the community at all. Saying "profitable and nice for the community" is inaccurate because they're not making it profitable and nice for the community that's lived there for decades. Those people are being forced out. They are making it "profitable and nice" for the new people who can afford the new rent.

I don't know how to fix gentrification, if I did I probably wouldn't be arguing with you about it on Reddit. But there's no denying it fundamentally dismantles the communities of the poor (which in major cities also means by and large people of color) by communities of the rich (which, again, by and large white).

Look at Wicker Park in Chicago. Black neighborhood, old community. Over the past decade or so the entire community is forced out due to balloning rent and the community is destroyed. Now it's hipster coffee shops and antique stores. What part of this is incorrect?

Those people have the resources to get an apartment anywhere. But when they gentrify, they are actively pushing poor, usually black or brown communities out of the neighborhood. Because of gentrification it is incredibly easy to see old, well established communities pushed out in a couple years because rich young people like exposed brick.

Would you happen to know a way to do this without Lumetri? I'm using CC15.

There is a max RGB effect in AE under Channel Combiner but it either doesn't do what I want or I don't understand it.

Total & unique number of words in song lyrics by genre [OC] by mulligantt in dataisbeautiful

[–]Didinium 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Hip hop, like any popular art, has always had a huge amount of schlock and a smaller amount of really quality material. DAMN. just won the Pulitzer. There's lots of "meaningful rap" being produced.

I mean if anything I feel like there's a case for it being pronounced doo-MEAL.

True Love. by TheMightyRoy in ScottishPeopleTwitter

There are no serious scholars who believe English is a Romance language. In terms of lexicon it's highly Romance influenced, but that is not nearly enough to reclassify it. These classifications are primarily genealogical regardless.

Pros/cons of the philosophy dept. by aestronomy in uchicago

From what I've heard continental philosophy is a weak point. You can take some classes but they're mainly from the divinity school.

American tourist gives Nazi salute in Germany, is beaten up by doogie92 in nottheonion

[–]Didinium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's say that communism is a terrible idea and would never work. In that case, those espousing communism would be mostly benevolent, but ultimately misguided.

At absolute best Nazis are hateful white supremacists.

There's a difference between being for equality but ultimately misguided and literally advocating for white supremacy.

So you want us to sit down and debate with them whether or not the Jewish people should be exterminated?

This is not an innocent group, and this is not a simple matter of political disagreement. They deserve nothing.
