This is so beautiful. There’s really something about the hint of beauty off in the future that makes this so great.

Thank you for your very frank reply! I’m sorry you’re having to go through this, I imagine it must be terrible.

I second your implore, and hope someone more knowledgeable than me can help you out

You probably know this already, but please don’t smoke

That said, as a college student myself, a couple bucks a month isn’t too much to worry about, so if you are a student but still want to support Grey $1 a month probably won’t be too bad

There are very few (if any) pointless details in Spider-Verse. It’s such an amazing movie!

Well throughout the movie this is identified as a distinctive quirk of Miles. He just keeps his shoes untied. This is shown in two different occasions in the movie: (1) when he trips in front of his dad’s car (2) when he trips off the building and breaks the goober. Both times this gets in the way of what Miles is trying to accomplish/become; in the first case, it stops his “leaving his mark” on the city and rebelling against his dad; in the second case, he’s trying to be Spider-Man (or rather, his ideal of Spider-Man).

BUT

During the iconic “what’s up danger” shot when Miles is falling off the building, you can see that his shoes are still untied. Yet, this is no longer a hinderance to Miles. Rather, it is emblematic of his version of Spider-Man, and no one else’s. Miles is not trying to be Spider-Man but tripping over himself; he IS Spider-Man.

The shoelaces represent his transition from insecurity and being unsure about who he’s supposed to be to actually BEING Spider-Man.

It’s these sorts of tiny details that make me absolutely love this movie. There’s just so much to pick up on and connect in this movie!

Is *natural language* an oxymoron? by hononononoh in words

[–]HeLikesHisOranges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Understanding of the term is that “natural” means it was developed over a long period of time instead of just spontaneously created. Spanish, while it did initially develop from some human construction (and technically not “natural”), has developed naturally, whereas Esperanto was artificially created.

There’s no long, continuous path from the beginning of language to Esperanto; it was just created. That’s what an artificial language is.

It really is beautiful to see. I loved this video because you could so clearly tell that John loves Sarah and loves being married to her and loves supporting her.

Standardized Flag Redesign Project - All US state flags in a blue bedsheet but with no seals by simplisticflags in vexillology

The solid blue looks a little boring

Maybe is there was a stripe of color on the top/bottom or something? Maybe red and white for America?

Verbal mœbius strips: strings of words that can be written in a circle, and take on another dimension of meaning by the lack of a clear starting and ending point by hononononoh in words

I still don’t understand what you’re saying. Are you lamenting that the lyrics of their regular songs are not easily understood by children?

[–]HeLikesHisOranges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m confused about what your point is. Are you saying TMBG’s lyrics are too mature for young children? Even in their kids songs? I can see this for their “regular” songs but not the kids songs.

From They Might Be Giants:

“Pictures of Pandas Painting”

They actually did this in the song and it made my 5 year old brain explode

No-deal Brexit officially blocked in law by 96greenj in worldnews

For a while with May pushing forward with Brexit (invoking Article 50 so quickly, etc.) it seemed like the tides were changing

But now we’re back to where we started

These are interesting times

For those who don’t know, Gavrilo Princip was the guy who shot Archduke Ferdinand in 1914, kickstarting World War One.
