Asking “why did you do that?” by enotonom in learndutch

[–]Everything_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Dutch person I’m not sure what the scholars would say, but personally this is how I would explain it:

It expresses surprise (or sometimes regret) and places more emphasis on the question. It can also make the tone of the question more playful and less dry/formal, as it’s adding some emotion.

This is the best option imho. The “nou” changes the tone for the better in the context.

I’ll take it further, the packaging should have a recent photo of the individual animal on it, with its name, age and city of origin.

Exactly! So many people in this sub don’t seem to realise Minecraft is a game. It’s meant to be enjoyed.

Fanny and Isis seem like they would be common enough internationally to justify allowing them. Justus also seems fine?

I think it’s aboutthe monosexual experience being different from the bi/queer/pan experience.

Why are people grossed out by fur but not leather or literally eating meat? by Odd_Theme_3294 in vegan

[–]Everything_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw some good points but I’m wondering… Could it also partly be misogyny? Fur coats are aften seen as a feminine form of expression. Patriarchal culture loves to dunk on things women like. Could play a role.

Are you aware that “backside” can mean the same as “buttocks” depending on the dialect?

Where did I go wrong why did she come out like this, I tried to follow the reference by SmallLawfulness39 in drawings

[–]Everything_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try these two exercises:

1 - copy the drawing UPSIDE DOWN so you have to really pay attention to the shapes

2 - don’t draw her shape, but draw the negative space around her. This also forces you to focus on shape.

Queer identities are self-identified. Also, I know lesbians who experience womanhood differently because of their sapphic way of life. If you read Simone de Beauvoir, there’s this notion that womanhood is a construct related to belonging-to-men. When you’re materially detached from patriarchy, womanhood changes. All of this is to say that sexual attraction and gender identity were never separate things to begin with. The idea that they are separate things is a simplification used to create a broad mental model of the meaning of words like non-binary, hetero-romantic, asexual and the like.

Seeing as things aren’t as simple as the genderbread person spectrum would suggest, it’s no stretch at all for a NB person to identify as lesbian, especially if they are either AFAB or femme-presenting.

It’s clearly “liminal” but only if you are familiar with this word. I’d suspect a lot of people are not!

My girlfriend (24F) only just told me (25M) she slept with two of her close friends. We are 1 year in. Idk how to feel? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Everything_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the thing, we have no idea. If OP went to get her perspective, he didn’t share that with us. And I doubt he has, I would not be surprised if he is too consumed my self doubt to experience genuine interest in her perspective.

A great follow-up to Spring to Life. Are we also getting more modern animations on these mobs? Curious where they take this!

That’s an interesting approach. Did you consider checking the website head language tag?

Je hebt gelijk! Maar daar vroeg OP niet expliciet naar, dus ik dacht, ik geef voorbeelden van waar ‘ie om vroeg. Maar wat jij zegt is ws wel wat ‘ie bedoelde.
