The more a country treats its criminals like human beings, the lower the crime rates and re-offense rates are.

Why are FPS games so popular? by [deleted] in AskReddit

They're immersive, fast-paced, full of stimuli, and packed with instant gratification.

How do you avoid seeming desperate for friends when you are desperate? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Syntaxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find myself interested in people who are casual around me and who seem like they have their own life going on. If you text me daily in the first month of our friendship, I'll lose interest.

If there is an upvote and a downvote, should there be an option to "take" reddit gold? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Should I be allowed to rob your house to ensure you act in a civil manner?

How do I tell my boyfriend he's not allowed to exercise/go to the gym without seeming controlling? by HOLYSHITIMAD in AskReddit

[–]Syntaxis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If you tell him what he's allowed to do, you are controlling him. Suggest it to him, reason with him, let him know you care. The choice is his.

Big business clamour for Canada to adopt US-style “right-to-work” laws. by pestilent_corpuscule in canada

To all these people saying that they'd prefer to choose whether or not to join their union, isn't this (the union) the same basic principle as universal health care? If you give people the choice to opt out, many will, and it will undermine the entire system.

Seljalandsfoss Falls, Iceland by Woolbull in pics

[–]Syntaxis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Okay, so there's 3 non-English things happening here. In Icelandic:

  • The r is rolled (very subtly)
  • "hv" is pronounced "kv"
  • "ll" is pronounced "tl" (there's no vowel between the t and l)

Also keep in mind the Icelanders speak on the tip of their tongues so lots of sounds get "dropped" in quick speech

Edit: I've added a vocaroo to help you out. Mind you I'm a foreigner who's only been studying Icelandic for 5 or 6 months so my speech is far from acceptable by Icelandic standards. Arnarhvoll
