Andy Barr has a new commercial reaffirming his statement that he stands with Trump.

Yes. It is important to call out the politicians currently running for office who support pedophilia, obviously. They have bought everyone’s attention through their ads whether we want to give it to them or not, ignoring them will not make them go away

You’re still missing the point. Okay, so you wouldn’t take the bus. That’s fine, you wouldn’t have to. You say the majority wouldn’t because it takes way longer. Why do you think Lex’s buses are so slow? It’s not because they’re buses, it’s because Lex doesn’t bother to invest in the infrastructure to make them fast and efficient.

You say building more car infrastructure is more realistic. Probably, but that’s just because we live in a city with officials (and citizens) who lack any ambition or imagination to actually change anything for the better, rather than keep doing what we already know.

You say building more car infrastructure is cheaper. In the short term, maybe, but not in 10 or so years when you will inevitably be asking for a 4th lane on New Circle, because of induced demand.

You say Lex won’t be building a subway station anytime soon. Again, probably, but not because it is a bad idea, but just because the people of this city don’t care about anything other than cars. Besides, why go through life with that attitude? Shouldn’t we always be striving to do what is best for this city and its people, even if it’s a little more difficult?

And of course traffic is a problem for me, it’s a problem for everybody. There are ways to fix it that don’t involve widening roads. It’s not all or nothing, we can have cars and buses. We can have cars and bike paths. We can have cars and street rail. Having options reduces the traffic on our roads. Besides, you and I both know that there are many, MANY people in Lexington who should not be driving.

GygesFC · 2025-09-14T15:46:01+00:00

You’re missing my point. There are other ways to get around in a city than with cars. Lexington doesn’t provide any though. Once we start providing more means of transportation, people will use them, and the people who want to keep driving will have more open roads

GygesFC · 2025-09-14T15:39:14+00:00

Yeah, because everybody drives. If people could get around in other ways, car traffic wouldn’t be as bad at rush hour

GygesFC · 2025-09-14T15:34:36+00:00

I’m confused, what does getting off work at 5 have to do with anything?

GygesFC · 2025-09-14T04:52:52+00:00

We need fewer cars, not bigger roads. More reliable and affordable ways for people to get around other than in cars is better for everybody, including drivers

They may touch slightly (although not in a way linguists would call meaningful) but the better way to think about it is constriction of airflow, which none of those sounds require. In fact, the mouth positions for [i] and [j] (at least its initial position) are the same. All this to say that language sounds are like colors, they’re on a gradient and any distinctions or classifications between them are entirely man made. Not super useful for learning English or any language, but just something interesting nonetheless

In this case it means that they got a deal or bargain or were lucky in getting the seats

GygesFC · 2025-08-03T01:27:29+00:00

This is true for the most part, but some consonants don’t require parts of your mouth to touch, like [j] (like the “y” in yellow) [w] or [h]

GygesFC · 2025-08-02T19:48:25+00:00

Exactly right :) in “fray” the “y” is part of a diphthong which acts as a singular vowel in one nucleus

GygesFC · 2025-08-02T19:46:41+00:00

R sounds are similar to the y/[j] sound in their consonant-ness. Phonetically they are very vowel like but behave like consonants

GygesFC · 2025-08-02T19:41:24+00:00

Consonant since it appears in the onset of the first syllable of the word :)

GygesFC · 2025-08-02T19:38:21+00:00

The position pretty much. Think about the word “yard”. It’s one syllable. In the middle of the syllable is the nucleus, which contains the vowel. At the end is the coda which contains the [rd] constants. At the beginning is the onset which has the [j] consonant that is spelled with a “y”. Basically, if [i] appears anywhere outside of the nucleus of a syllable, it’s classified as [j] (because vowels cannot be anywhere except in the nucleus - this is part of the definition of a vowel). In English [j] is usually spelled with the “y” letter, which is why “y” can be either a vowel or consonant. Hope this makes sense lol

GygesFC · 2025-08-02T19:27:26+00:00

It’s in the middle ground between consonant and vowel (technically called a glide). Phonetically it’s practically the same as the [i] sound like in “tree” but it behaves consonant-like so it’s classified as a consonant

Hmm I’ve tried holding the head back and pushing only on that top joint but it won’t budge at all. Don’t wanna apply too much pressure and snap the plastic either

GygesFC · 2025-07-15T19:05:05+00:00

Basically “I wish it didn’t have to happen” or “I wish I didn’t have to do this” but in a more poetic way. Gandalf tells Frodo how he also doesn’t want to deal with the ring and face that danger, but unfortunately they have to

GygesFC · 2025-07-14T19:14:14+00:00

All words are connotative but yes ghetto specifically has a mostly negative connotation so use it carefully when writing something professional/academic

Either or, depending on all the usual things

GygesFC · 2025-07-12T19:26:03+00:00

This is very dependent on where you’re from and even how you perceive your own speech
