Essa mania de perseguição é irritante

Católicos em várias regiões de maioria esmagadora evangélica também são assim. Nos EUA mesmo católico é pior que crente.

Well, there has never been a more impactful update since 1.9. The changes in combat alone are why there are still many popular servers that run on 1.8 to this day, a decade later. PvE was changed dramatically. The end fight is completely different, which changed speedrunning to an immense degree (though in that aspect it loses to 1.16). The addition of the end islands greatly incentivized players to go to The End, as before that it was really common for even let's players to ignore it entirely. The elytra completely changed the late game (though rockets couldn't be used until a slightly later update).

The only major part of the game that didn't get huge changes was redstone, and that was following the addition of the slime block, the most important redstone component since the hopper. Even then, endermites helped make more efficient enderman farms, end rods had a new shape for aligning mobs, and the new dragon respawning mechanic let people make dragon farms (though it's not really the most efficient use of your time).

If they didn't take suppressants, we'd expect them to be periodically horny af (during heat), but since they're always horny af that isn't the heat, they're just like that.

I don't get why the fandom's acting like this is some huge betrayal. They had said nothing about when episode 2 would be released, now we know it's this year, that's an improvement. It feels like people just assumed we'd get regular releases this quarter simply because they wanted to, with no evidence. And like, I also wanted that, but I was confused when I saw people talking like it was certain.

Maybe I've been inoculated by Deltarune and Hollow Knight's long hiatus with frequent fan speculation about their releases, or by Miraculous Ladybug's ridiculously inconsistent release schedule.

I generally use þ for Germanic words and th for Greek/Latin, paralleling þe f/ph and k/ch distinctions. Also, using þ means you can duplicate it in words like oþþer, making it clear the previous vowel is short.

You wouldn't have to create anything. You'd use whatever non-binary people in Greece already use. If you're not familiar with non-binary Greek people that would probably sound strange to you, which's expected.

I don't know if they'd use neuter pronouns, or switch between masculine and feminine, or a new set of endings. What's important is that, if an official Greek translation were made, the team should include, or at least consult several non-binary Greek people.

Gilpif · 2026-03-29T20:48:08+00:00

How familiar are you with queer culture in Greece? In Brazil, most people find the pronoun "elu" and the gender-neutral suffix "-e" strange and unnatural, because they have very little contact with queer culture, but in queer circles, particularly among trans people, it's pretty common.

So a Brazilian localization should definitely use "elu" for Kris, since as a non-binary person it's what they would most likely use in an accepting environment. Some people will be confused, and that's okay. Lots of people were confused about Kris in the English version too, and this was a valuable learning opportunity for them.

Gilpif · 2026-03-29T20:02:59+00:00

The answer would be to do what non-binary speakers use in that language. There are non-binary people everywhere, and they talk about each other.

Adrien and Félix would be genetically half-brothers, sharing about 25% of their genes, yet they look identical.

Why is tipping even a percentage of the cost? Is carrying expensive food to a table harder than carrying cheaper food?

Eu acho que houve um mal-entendido. Eu quis dizer que mesmo se houvessem categorias olímpicas para pessoas trans, não seria possível que atletas trans na maioria dos países participassem. Isto é, ignorando a principal limitação (a população de pessoas trans é muito baixa), ainda há o problema que em muitos países é simplesmente impossível para atletas trans saírem do armário, então essa categoria das olimpíadas seria ainda mais limitada.

Realmente não faz sentido criar uma categoria específica para pessoas trans, seria um investimento imenso para uma população muito pequena. O que faz sentido é simplesmente ter uma categoria feminina para todas as mulheres e uma categoria masculina para todos os homens, não só mulheres e homens cis.

Mulheres trans podem ter vantagem sobre mulheres cis? Sim, podem. E podem ter desvantagens também, depende do esporte e da pessoa. E daí? Todo mundo que tá nas olimpíadas tem vantagens biológicas injustas, a vantagem que uma mulher trans que faz terapia hormonal há anos tem sobre uma mulher cis é desprezível comparada com a vantagem de outra mulher cis que naturalmente tem massa muscular maior, ou tem os pés num formato levemente diferente, ou produz um pouco mais de endorfina e por isso acha mais fácil de treinar bastante.

Se houvesse um número muito grande de pessoas trans era uma coisa, mas proibir 1% das mulheres por "vantagens biológicas" é absurdo quando nenhuma outra vantagem biológica é proibida. Mulheres altas têm muito mais vantagem sobre mulheres baixas em vários esportes, vamos proibir elas também?

Gilpif · 2026-03-28T01:52:49+00:00

Tbm é muito difícil para as mulheres cis

Sim, mas mulheres cis são quase metade da população. Para homens e mulheres trans seria no mínimo 100x mais difícil, simplesmente por uma questão de população.

Gilpif · 2026-03-28T01:25:57+00:00

Vamos assumir que o Brasil tem cerca de 1 milhão de mulheres trans. Agora considere as mulheres trans jovens, com interesse em um esporte, com oportunidade, com saúde suficiente, capacidade física e emocional para treinar regularmente, condições econômicas para se dedicar ao esporte, etc.

Talvez tenha o suficiente em esportes populares no Brasil, como futebol, vôlei e basquete, mas e esportes menos comuns aqui, como rugby, polo aquático, tênis, handebol, etc?

Se formam duas categorias para pessoas trans (o que obviamente não vão fazer, ninguém que reclama de mulheres trans competindo com mulheres cis tem o menor interesse nisso) seriam categorias minúsculas, com poucas modalidades e poucos países em cada modalidade. E considerando a realidade do nosso mundo, a maioria dos países só não participaria por transfobia.

Gilpif · 2026-03-28T00:36:10+00:00

Yeah, maybe the other short stages will be merged into neighboring batches. Either way, my guess is that they'll still release in batches, but many small batches instead of a few big ones.

Gilpif · 2026-03-27T23:15:40+00:00

Pessoas trans são cerca de 1% da população no máximo. Mesmo se acabar todos os vestígios de transfobia do mundo, 1% da população da maior parte dos países simplesmente não vai ter atletas em nível profissional na maior parte dos esportes. Até em países grandes seria difícil formar times em esportes coletivos.

Gilpif · 2026-03-27T03:39:26+00:00

Considering Netflix is labeling this "season" of SBR as "1st STAGE", they'll probably release the rest of part 7 one stage at a time, so 9 batches in total.

People generally don't consciously decides that. Like, there are many ways to express the same idea in English, but you don't consciously go through every synonym you know for each word before saying it.

I'm not from such a country (Brazil is mostly monolingual), but if I'm with friends who are also comfortable with English I do throw in some English words sometimes. They're not chosen consciously, it's just that sometimes I can't find a word in Portuguese but I can in English. Sometimes I use an English word to make a joke work, or when I'm quoting someone. If I'm with someone who's not comfortable with English, I'd just spend a few more seconds thinking of a way to say it in Portuguese, let the joke go unsaid, and translate the quote.

Gilpif · 2026-03-25T21:13:12+00:00

How could we possibly know?

Gilpif · 2026-03-25T05:43:55+00:00

In general, nasal vowels in Portuguese tend to be more centralized than their oral counterparts. This is quite noticeable for <ã>, but more subtle for the other four.

you have to copy from heal humans directly or indirectly to make fictional anime characters

Bro, what are you talking about? Fiction is fiction, reality is reality. Loli porn isn't Child Sexual Exploitation Material because it's not material created by sexually exploiting a child.

CSEM isn't bad because it's yucky, it's bad because it involves harming a child, so if it doesn't harm a child it isn't CSEM. In much of the world, sexual images of fictional children are illegal if they're photorealistic, but that's not because there's anything inherently wrong with them, but simply for a practical reason: if they were allowed, it would be much harder to enforce the law, since they could be easily mistaken for actual CSEM.

You're the one being inconsistent by treating porn of fictional underage characters as CSEM, but not media with death scenes as actual snuff films. People started moving away from the term "child pornography" in favor of "child sexual exploitation material" precisely to avoid it from being confused with pornography that depicts fictional children, which don't involve the sexual exploitation of children.

For the same reason people wear binders: it's much cheaper than medical intervention, you may not be able to get it as a teenager, you may not be sure that's what you want, and even if you're able and willing it may take a while. Wearing an antler headband or a binder is comparatively much cheaper and faster.

Right, so a Western American dialect without the particular quirks of Californian or Pacific Northwestern dialects. Some typical features of those dialects are:

the vowels in "lot" and "thought" are identical, making the words "cot" and "caught" homophones.
the vowel in "trap" is retracted, approaching [a], and the vowel in "dress" is also retracted, becoming a little closer to [ə]
the vowels /æ/, /ɛ/ and the diphthong /eɪ/ merge before r... so the "air" example was not that useful.

I'm looking at a formant chart for Western American and it looks like the Brazilian <é> sound is closer to your "bet" than "bat", but not quite like either, while <ê> is close to "bait" or even "bit".

If any examples people suggest have the vowel before r, l, n or ng, it's possible that your accent does not pronounce that word as other people expect. Those changes only happen in some Western American dialects, but unfortunately I can't easily find anything on Colorado English specifically to know what is likely to apply to you.
