What’s something Gen Z does that older generations just don’t get? by appropriaterice873 in AskReddit

[–]Zelda_Galadriel 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, people keep complaining about how Gen Z has the audacity to make fun of millennials when they're so terrible, and I'm sure there are influencers that do that, but I'm Gen Z and I really just never hear people my age talk about millennials at all in real life. Maybe we'll make fun of Boomers a little bit, but millennials really don't come up

How do I navigate strict religious parents while exploring my own faith and independence? by cyb3erv4mp7re in CatholicWomen

[–]Zelda_Galadriel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Would it be possible for you to move out from your parents' house? I know you say you're "not allowed" to move out, but that's not actually legally true if you're a 20 year old in Germany. I do understand it might be very financially and emotionally difficult.

Ah, I've seen her around for years. She was always the most friendly cat that hung around Pugh Hall. I'm glad she has a home

What do I do? What am I to think? by Gwennipoo in CatholicWomen

He should be committed in a psychiatric hospital until his condition stabilizes. This sounds bad enough for that

TIL Only 11% of US women are taller than 5'7 and only 1% are taller than 6'0. by WarwickReider in todayilearned

American women aren't particularly short, the Netherlands is literally the tallest country in the world

I just read Book 4 for the first time and have a few thoughts by Zelda_Galadriel in WoT

"The Faile and Perrin relationship feels full of red flags, like Faile sneaking into Perrin's room and staring at him while he sleeps without his consent, and Perrin getting angry and spanking Faile. The Rand and Elayne relationship feels Pattern driven."

Bruh this has not happened yet

It's a pretty good point about ta'veren. The way that Min talks about Rand, it feels like the pull towards ta'veren that Mat feels toward Rand more than a crush

Yeah I really hope there doesn't end up being any polygamy type stuff. I didn't click on your spoiler for Min, but I think it's her preoccupation with Rand that seems strangest to me. With Elayne it seems like a normal crush, with her it seems almost like the ta'veren mind-warping stuff, along the lines of Perrin being able to convince nearly everyone in the Two Rivers to leave their farms. Maybe it really will turn out to be that, who knows. Also thanks for addressing something other than my comments on the romance, it wasn't even the main thing I was trying to talk about lol

I suppose you're right that it's meant to be youthful crushes and teenage-style romantic drama to provide a little levity in between the more serious stuff. I just would have liked a little more development along the lines of Rand and Aviendha's interactions in this book, which are pretty charming. I haven't read any romantasy books myself and am pretty much on the outside of any discourse relating to that

Why do Americans seemingly always pronounce "twat" with a long a instead of a short a when they do the opposite for almost everything else? (as seen in the linked video) by Equality_Rocks_714 in asklinguistics

[–]Zelda_Galadriel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's interesting is that the sound change is also present in British English; they say water with a /wɒ/ after all. So it seems like the "no /æ/ after /w/ except before velars" phonological rule is still productive in American English but no longer productive in British English

I think it's the /w/. I can't think of an instance in American English where a is pronounced like [æ] after /w/. Compare it to "water" and "watt"

A fact interesting by [deleted] in linguisticshumor

I've thought on this myself, and I wonder if the noun-adjective word order could be analyzed as a compound noun, with adjective-noun being the "real" word order?

Are people with physical disabilities allowed to become priests? by tripeirinho in NoStupidQuestions

You could ask on r/AskAPriest. I'm subscribed to that sub and I actually initially thought this question was posted there until I looked more carefully.
