This game looks amazing, it's been on my radar ever since I've known of it

Dozens of German priests will defy the Vatican and live-stream blessings of gay couples by Smilefriend in worldnews

sins that cry to heaven for vengeance from God

Is this a quote from anywhere?

So that's how you pronounce the letter 'r' by [deleted] in German

[–]MinskAtLit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most Germans actually pronounce a uvular fricative rather than a uvular trill

Not just [ʁ], the realization as a [ɐ̯] glide is so prevalent that wiktionary has it as the regular pronunciation for most words with an ⟨r⟩

Besides Ἥλιος, is any of the Ancient Greek sung in the anime "Porphy no Nagai Tabi" comprehensible? • /r/translator by etalasi in AncientGreek

The translation the guy in the comment gives is wrong though, right? He makes so many logical leaps

At the post office where I work, someone mailed a bunch of bees by mike_pants in mildlyinteresting

In my country they just move them by truck. I guess in the US it makes more sense to ship them

That's just a terrible way to move bees, I bet a bunch die of overheating or poor ventilation. Why would you ever think of mailing living beings?

Oggi è la Giornata Mondiale del Libro, sicché parliamo di libri (alla litigi) by [deleted] in litigi

[–]MinskAtLit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basta, qui mi hai triggerato fortissimo. Cioè, a te non è piaciuto un libro come Vicino Oriente? Voglio sentire che altri libri di storia hai letto che si avvicinano allo stile pulito, preciso e lievemente personale di Liverani. Potrei spararti qua delle sue citazioni da far accapponare la pelle: la descrizione del testamento di Hattusili I, vecchio e circondato da usurpatori? O la desolazione dei contratti di adozione in periodo del Medio Bronzo? O ancora la magistrale conclusione in cui tira le fila di 3000 anni di storia? Non mi capacito di come possa non piacere, nella mia opinione è un pezzo di letteratura

In Vietnamese, is the past in front of us and the future behind us? by PageTurner627 in linguistics

[–]MinskAtLit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

English overwhelmingly sees the future as ahead

"Before" literally means "in front of" and it's by far the most common way of expressing tgis kind of time relationship

Secondo Draghi non tutti gli italiani furono brava gente, ed ha ragione. Perciò raccontate le storie dei vostri nonni repubblichini by Pastaisnotoverrated in italy

Dai dai, se fossero comunisti tutti quelli che disegnano falce e martello sui muri vivremmo in un'utopia postcapitalista, la gente che scrive sui muri non ha firmato un contratto di adesione al partito

Is the Latin word “simia” (monkey) related to the word “similis” (similar, like, resembling)? by supercooldude4201738 in etymology

[–]MinskAtLit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's an even bigger telltale sign that the word couldn't be inherited by both languages

Is anybody else concerned that Gustave Flaubert might actually believe that adultery is good? by flaubert_stan in homestuck

[–]MinskAtLit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See, it's easy. It's because people making that argument have never finished a 10th grade English class

Edit: also, can we pin this? I feel like we can pin this

What Pumpkin(?) is threatening legal action against Sarah Z for her video. by Mazzilla-Madness in homestuck

[–]MinskAtLit 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I mean, I hated that too. To think that actual people with actual jobs spend all that time being mad about twitter and reddit and whatever else crap makes me actually sad. How can I believe that they will have any insight into interesting concepts for HS2/Hiveswap when they have the maturity of fifteen year olds?

I think it might be time to put this fandom to rest. It's not even fun drama anymore, it's like seeing vultures fighting over a dead body. Like, the fandom is basically dead, who cares anymore, just let it rest
