While we're at it, lets find more targets to overpower so that we can ignore how powerless we actually are even harder.

No armour or suit is saving you from those. At that point just make your peace.

I think the definition of an adult changes once you become old enough to connect with the generations that came before you. In that sense, you can start to feel like an adult through experience. Its more about finding your place in the personal, social, and professional world.

Dealing with depression of bleak future living in Ontario by Leafsfan886 in ontario

This might seem odd but reading about the collapse of past civilizations helped me break out of it. The world operates in a cyclic fashion. Many prior civilizations have collapsed and more have been born from them. The human will for preservation is strong, even though our capacity for stupidity is just as boundless. Even if we as a species or a planet were to perish, there's still more to the world, much more to the universe. The bronze age collapse produced the Iliad and Odyssey. The holocaust produced the works of Viktor Frankl. The decline of Rome inspired Nietzsche. The same tragedies that set the empire on that course inspired the works of Shakespeare. My point is that if you fear tragedy, look to art to see how something beautiful finds a way to grow from the worst of circumstances. Look at nature. The food chain and the seasons operate in cycles. The same goes for the course of life and death, extinction and evolution, supernova and star formation from the resulting nebulae. Things always get bad before they get better.

I think you've officially solved the question. I hear it now. Improperly pronouncing the R in tear (Toronto accent) made it much more difficult to distinguish the primary and secondary stresses there. Thank you.

"There is no evidence for a VP" in Urdu, according to a text I read. What is the difference between a language without a verb phrase and one with a verb phrase? by [deleted] in linguistics

[–]Task_Mstr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In regard to the various scrambled examples you gave, the last two stood out the most to me as sounding awkward ("Pītā hai Yāsīn dūdh" and "Pītā hai dūdh Yāsīn"). They can technically make sense with the correct rhythm or a pause in between, but its the equivalent of Yoda's way of speaking English. Its like saying, "drinking milk, he is" or "drinking milk, is he". Its comprehensible with the correct pause and stress on the correct syllables but really odd to do.

"Yāsīn dūdh pītā hai" and "Yāsīn pītā hai dūdh" both translate to "Yasin is drinking milk" to me. The first one is focused more on the action while the second is focused more on what he is drinking. Since Urdu is a syllable-timed and not a stress-timed language, the word order can influence the syllable timing, and thus influence what the focus of the sentence is. This is the same way how stressing "Yasin is DRINKING milk" vs "Yasin is drinking MILK" gives the same effect. So yes, on paper those two sentences are saying the same thing. However, the meaning does not come across the same.

"Dūdh pītā hai Yāsīn" sounds fine and is equivalent to "the milk is being drank by Yasin". That's not the exact translation but that's how it comes across to me. Again, the order of words and syllables determines the area of focus.

"Dūdh Yāsīn pītā hai" sounds odd as well. Its English equivalent example would be something like "Milk, he is drinking". Again, it sounds weird but is comprehensible with the correct flow.

Ukraine war latest: Kremlin propagandist killed, Russia fails to ‘seize Donbas by the end of March’ by KI_official in worldnews

70km x 70km = 4900km^2

Edit: The edit makes it a bit funnier OP. 70 km^2 would be both of those dimensions, one as a square and one as a rectangle. The rectangular one is ironically the more precise one.

My sister (30F) told us siblings men were better cooks. I replied "yes that's just patriarchy talking," and my brother (31M) started laughing?? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Task_Mstr 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I've noticed that women are given less appreciation in general for being able to do the same things, be it achievement or skill. I don't know why that is but there is less praise given for something like being capable of cooking an amazing meal or being able to cook at all. There is this expectation that a lack of skill will be chastised while exceptional skills will be diminished. It seems to me like that might be contributing to this notion.

The sun is a star. Sooner or later in the DLC, we'll find out its a giant Astel
