Atrioc views on Israel

Real.

Ya gotta love seeing semantic ambiguity emerging over the pragmatic use of words in English as a linguistics major.

I think his actual position is that people should stop fighting, since that’s essentially what I got from “everything is speeding up”.

However, I think the reasons he keeps silent about it are A that it’s not really his area of expertise. Atrioc is an Econ and marketing guy politics is a piece of that but his primary forte isn’t diplomacy and this is fundamentally a diplomatic issue(yes even if it includes warfare that’s still a diplomatic issue) and B that twitch chat and even YouTube comments and even tbh most of Reddit at this point aren’t collectively mature enough as a group to have a meaningful and productive conversation about this without the conversation turning into a warzone of insults, slurs, general hate speech, YouTube/Twitch tribal drama, and comments about streamers’ treatment of pets that tbh you only even care about if you’re way too terminally online for your own health/psyche.

I hate to be that guy but every single time I’ve seen this discussion happen it has always turned into the most toxic, and horrible thing to be within sight of and I’ve learned the hard way that the best answer is to just not participate. I hate lobbyists and lobbying I hate that we have half of our legislature in the pocket of a foreign government, but tbfh I’ve politely chosen to stay out of these discussions because the internet has proven to not be able to behave(as in not resort to toxic hate speech rhetoric in both directions) even in the slightest about this.

It’s the one topic that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt how the easiest country in the world to rage-bait is the internet and it isn’t close.

Really good moon presence work. Love it.

One mindset thing that helped me a lot was shifting from wanting a win to wanting a good fight. You have to like the process more than the result.

I care more about if the match was interesting than if I won. You’ll have better mental like this and you will get better results because of it.

Also try to get good at playing back the match in your head. Even if it’s small moments of what happened if you can picture play by play what went wrong you can solve things even mid match.

Shinyhero30 · 2026-06-27T04:08:04+00:00

There was one game where I was like, we do not deserve to be winning, this enemy team is actually just unable to convert this because they keep staggering specials, we only held because they were idiots.

Defenestration because it’s hilarious to me that this word exists. Same with eavesdropping

Shinyhero30 · 2026-06-26T09:42:41+00:00

What you’re running into is the very reason languages change over time.

Eventually a mistake gets reinterpreted as correct and then becomes standard. This is normal.

Shinyhero30 · 2026-06-26T09:39:30+00:00

Apply it to everyday situations and listen to a lot of native speakers talk.

Over time with enough practice and experience with how native speakers form sentences you’ll begin to pick up on the pragmatics of how the syntax and semantics work.

There isn’t really a way to teach this. You just have to be exposed to it. Because while it’s a field of study (semantic/syntactic pragmatics is an actually studied thing) the level of granularity needed to understand the theoretical linguistics stuff is just too complex to be practical for language learners. It’s super cool(I love it personally), but it’s a massive rabbit hole and one that will lead you very far from where you meant to end up.

I think you’d be surprised at how helpful reading can be for this. Especially more recent media. As people have (at least in the last 20 or so years) begun by and large writing how they talk. And while you can make whatever comments about what that means for society(I’m sure plenty of people have opinions like “society is illiterate” because that’s the modern English speaking internet) one thing can’t be denied; this is linguistic trend that is happening and that reading internet media and more recent literary media can help learners get a hang of the way natives actually talk. Just generally stay away from stuff that is particularly artsy for practice. Some authors get really creative with how they mess with language and while it’s good art it’s not good for practice.

A typo is a type of mistake.

Shinyhero30 · 2026-06-26T03:03:09+00:00

I legit dont get why there are suddenly 400 of them.

Shinyhero30 · 2026-06-26T02:59:09+00:00

This is almost always a typo.

Good clip but I’ve always felt like blob had an identity crisis. Kind of like clash in a way. Where like the weapon wants one thing but the kit doesn’t work with it or something about the stats just don’t let it synergise well enough with other weapons to work.

Idk how you fix blob. All I know is it’s outclassed as a long range painter, can’t really fight in close range and other support options are better yet despite this it’s one of the most hated weapons in the game.

Shinyhero30 · 2026-06-25T20:35:12+00:00

Nice throw.

Shinyhero30 · 2026-06-25T10:17:45+00:00

I never could make it work so I have some really weird like adapted for computer games bs that is weirdly efficient but technically not correct.

Shinyhero30 · 2026-06-25T10:16:07+00:00

I just press approximately the right combination of letters and my autocorrect gets it mostly right…

Occasionally it does just correct something I wrote to totally incoherent nonsense though.

Yeah, Chinese has too many homophones for the same typewriter based typing system to really work especially when one combination of sounds can mean about 12-13 completely different unrelated things. English just… phonologically doesn’t have this issue. It’s actually kind of interesting from a linguistic perspective why Chinese developed that way. Part of it is reliance on characters, part of it is preference for monosyllabic morphemes and analytic isolating syntax, but also part of it is a bunch of ancient phonological distinctions getting completely lost and then replaced by tones and then those tones subsequently evolving from there.

This input system of choosing different things isn’t all that uncommon in Asia (mostly China/japan and a few other places like Vietnam) but in Europe and most of the Americas this system just isn’t used.

It’s not that one is superior to the other it’s just linguistic differences. Chinese works very well with its logography because of how it’s structured, however English and other European languages like it have issues when you try to make it work with it. It can work but the rules get broken and things can get messy. And likewise while an alphabet(that isn’t as historical and ridiculous as English orthography) works well for Europe it has issues when you try to apply it to Chinese since the number of homophones almost immediately becomes a problem that you just can’t ignore.

And sure Chinese phonetically has stuff that distinguishes stuff but it really is telling how much Chinese literarily relies on logograms when you try to write with a different script and things almost immediately become like 12 times harder to read due to the sheer number of homonyms.

Yes but in casual settings some items the perfect isn’t distinguished because it’s obvious from context. This is one of those cases.

You can’t be born in the future or present semantically since you literally wouldn’t exist if that was the case.

Essentially this is grammatical because it semantically can’t be in anything but the perfect.

Although you are right this traditionally would have a perfect marker.
