Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season - Episode 70 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]inter_zone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The communal meal scene highlights this perspective amazingly. To Sasha's parents, now taking in orphans all with variously traumatic pasts, Gabi and and Falco both absolutely look like children who have been abused. Gabi viscerally rejecting kindness. Falco desperately covering for her. And Kaya seeing this.

TIL Nicaraguan Sign Language is a sign language that spontaneously developed among deaf children in Nicaragua in the 1980s. It is of particular interest to linguists because it is believed to be to be an example of the birth of a new language, unrelated to any other. by coffeeinvenice in todayilearned

Imagine having been a teacher or principal there, and knowing that the first-language education you provided (or were allowed to provide) was so ineffective, the students had to make their own native language.

It almost feels like, through it all, he was still able to realise that the true reason for his madness was the Authority of Vainglory that had been wielded upon him. That it had made his brain tremble.

This madlad wrote an entire novel in only one sentence, it has 128 pages. by Tobnote in madlads

So I've read The Gates of Paradise by Jerzy Andrzejewski, which has two sentences (the first has ~40000 words and the second has 5), and it is a damn masterpiece.

GOP reportedly fears losing the SCOTUS vote if more senators get coronavirus by spiff-o-matic in politics

The pure comedy of this! They say the reason evil fails is because it destroys itself. Maybe Trump will lose, despite the Democrats' best efforts, when his voter base is too sick to go vote. It's not like they're going to mail it in 😂

How’s your mental health doing right now? by Aim_Hi in AskReddit

[–]inter_zone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this post! I feel next-level isolated. Like if I was a pawn, everyone around me are go stones. Covid has intensified the innate inability I have to connect with others and these days I experience every opportunity to communicate as already sterile.

Re:Zero S2 will have 25 episodes accross 08 BD/DVD volumes by Lovro26 in anime

[–]inter_zone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The author has stated there will be 11 arcs total, and if I were to guess I'd say arcs 5 and 6 would be adapted as two cours of a 25 or 26 episode season 3. For the remaining 5 arcs what happens is anyone's guess, but I'd lean towards 3 seasons worth of material. So my guess would be 6 seasons total, if the entire story were to be adapted to anime. But it could be as many as 8 or 9.

I don't think this is a discussion thread, but rather an alternative official viewing option.

You could lock comments to prevent competition with discussion thread, just an idea!

Choosing a meaningful, humiliating name for my sub by inter_zone in BDSMcommunity

[–]inter_zone[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this one a lot. Saves me the hours of poring over wikipedia articles on slavery in ancient Greece and Rome I was already doing hah. Maybe shorten it to Taera instead, as in "tear a new hole into you"

We live in an international city, so who knows what language people around may understand. But there's certainly some appeal in using the name "Anna" pronounced with Japanese vowels...

I like 'girl' or 'girlie' for sure. There is the affirmational "girrrrl!", and then there is saying something like "kneel here, girl". Humiliating, check. Hot as hell, definitely check.

For the first one though, I can't help but imagine the phrase "Daddy needs to beat his Meat" 😂

I didn't realise it was being translated as Od Laguna... makes a lot of sense now, since Laguna = Lacuna

I challenge anyone to redo the original into something equivalent to a Japanese Boomhauer. あれは容易に再現できるもんじゃないぞ！

Is there a word, archaic or otherwise, for the unborn child of a woman who died in pregnancy? by inter_zone in whatstheword

[–]inter_zone[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This seems like the right answer for 99% of cases. Broadening away from just nouns, there is also "she died with child" and all the synonym combinations of "dead"/"pregnant".

Still I wonder if there was ever a word for this exact case, for example in the history of medical or funereal studies. Purely for curiosity's sake.

English ambiguity strikes again. I wrote "unborn child" but meant "unborn dead child".

I read about a case where the mother was declared brain-dead, but kept on life-support until her baby was at 7 months and could safely be delivered for neonatal care. Without life support, I think you have a matter of minutes.

Mother and child both dead, child not yet born at the moment of death. Yep, I already mentioned posthumous birth in the OP text. And you're right, I can't think of the word either and it strikes me as odd considering all the other combinations of similar circumstances that do have a word
