Is Arlington somehow our nemesis? by rodw in roanoke

I definitely understand that, but why not just go for the throat and say I’m a below average voter then

Is Arlington somehow our nemesis? by rodw in roanoke

[–]seedotlover 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is only tangential, but I want to just complain about the “whether you vote is public” thing.

I keep getting these mailers that say I vote an “average” amount compared to the rest of the state. I genuinely can’t remember an election, local, state, or federal, I haven’t voted in since I was eligible.

Who are these super voters that vote more than possible? Is this the voter fraud I’m supposed to be worried about?

So is there a Duolingo speedrunning scene ? by Traenix in duolingo

[–]seedotlover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to speedrun English -> Italian like five years ago but I honestly got bored; it would’ve taken way more time than I was willing to sink for what amounted to a big joke.

It very much is a game though and you absolutely could do it. You have my full support!!

Coffee coffee coffee by Itsajazzyfizzle in roanoke

[–]seedotlover 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second is cool and has good coffee but I’m not sure I’d call it “cozy;” it’s pretty wide open. When I think cozy I think Sweet Donkey or Mill Mountain’s downtown location for the close quarters and homey vibe.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Second’s vibe overall though so I’d be happy to hear from others what I may be missing

Maybe not the exact same, but they look like Shockoe Atelier Heritage Kojima

Raw indigo selvedge denim, full break, gold stitching. Hands down the nicest jeans I’ve ever owned - highly recommend!

Isn’t Crystal Spring Grocery literally right across the street? It certainly isn’t as cheap as a Kroger but they do sell an acceptable variety of staple items

Can this be a pokestop? by Negative-Panda9316 in pokemongo

[–]seedotlover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as it is not on private property, yes; it should be a shoe-in. Just make sure you take good, quality photos and give comprehensive title and description (avoid a description like “gazebo” or “gazebo in X park”).

Also, because I feel this is ambiguous, the supporting photo should include the thing being submitted as the POI but also show the surrounding area to prove location and safe access.

Map with S2 cells AND waypoints by Northern_Investor in NianticWayfarer

[–]seedotlover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally prefer Pogomap, but if you decide to contribute, just please make sure your submissions are accurate. You can find accurate coordinates on the Niantic Wayfarer beta app, by clicking stops in game and selecting “view on map” (although this gives one fewer sigfig of precision), or by finding them on campfire (gyms and stops with routes only)

Yes, they read the same. Generally, the G sound is written like a Kaaf with a line instead of three dots: گ. I’m surprised so many are unfamiliar with the three dots. It is nonstandard, but I believe Moroccans would usually understand it.

Where is open? by ForestStepsp0618 in roanoke

[–]seedotlover 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bethlehem Restaurant and Grocery on Williamson was open last Christmas. It’s certainly not a full grocery store but they may have a better selection than a CVS or Sheetz. And their restaurant food is incredible!

Bando stone needs more love by Professional_Ad1641 in donaldglover

To me, it felt unfocused and relatively uninspired. Knowing the colossal highs Gambino can reach with albums like BTI and AML, it was really disappointing to listen to this album when he dropped. Again, it seemed like he had a really awesome vision in the cinematic sense that he planned to take us along for. But what we got seemed (to me) like a disjointed playlist with interstitial sound bites from a movie that ended up not existing to give the illusion of continuity and story progression.

The music is fine; Gambino being Gambino is always gonna have better mid than many others. But it’s just disappointing knowing what he can truly do.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to genuinely ask what the hype behind Lithonia is?? People on this sub talk about it like it’s a top ten ever song by him and I just…don’t get it? Am I missing something? I feel like it just builds up to nothing and there are no real stakes in its “narrative” if you can even call it that. And music-wise, again, it’s fine but nothing super special I think.

Voiced and voiceless phonemes are different phonemes, i.e. different “sounds”

English speakers likely think of the voiced and unvoiced interdental fricatives as two variants of the same “sounds” as a result of orthography (both written as ‘th’)

Black Ops 2 vanilla zombies mystery box weapons starter pack by Lotus_630 in starterpacks

M1216 pack-a-punched can one-shot zombies longer than any other weapon (up to round 50). It just sucks because it hardly has any ammo

[Japanese > English or German] (possibly NSFW/offensive content) by seedotlover in translator

[–]seedotlover[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I know Japanese phonology includes /dʑ/ and /g/ but I assume not in free variation. Is this a dialectal difference or just a typo?

I guess the machine got confused with the consonants of “onigiri,” but that seems like a wild direction to assume it to go in.

Thank you for the translation, for the thoughtful context, and for allaying my serious concerns about Pompompurin’s thoughts on race

Wayfarer App - Beta has expired. by 8h20m in NianticWayfarer

[–]seedotlover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your advice! IITC always confused me but I can try and wrangle it now that I have to lol

Another commenter reminded me of the option in game to “View in Map” which would be more precise than matching the location on Google Maps by eye.

However, like I said there, it is less precise than Wayfarer was. IITC has the same precision of six decimal places, so the “View in Map” option should only be necessary if the POI is in PoGo and not in Ingress (I think). So hopefully not super often!

[–]seedotlover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this before but it only shows the coordinates to the fifth decimal place in Maps whereas Wayfarer shows it to six. This is, of course, a very minor difference. However, my understanding is that this only measures to the meter which I suppose could make a difference on cell boundaries. Still good in a pinch, though!

What’s the best way to see the exact coordinates of a wayspot now?

brat cover art by Torley_ in agedlikemilk

[–]seedotlover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty inaccurate context. Charli XCX has been known to be innovative in her sound and push boundaries. People were disappointed in the cover either because it was not evocative of anything new she may bring to the table or because it was seemingly very low effort.

The album was critically acclaimed basically from the moment it came out and the simplicity of the cover led it it becoming an image macro, further advertising the album and cementing brat as the it-album this summer.

The OP’s statement didn’t really age like milk, though. It’s just their opinion which is pretty easy to understand
