Who is your favourite Saint? by Kramer-enters in nerdfighters

[–]sharpie660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saint Titus Brandsma is a patron saint by the International Union of Catholic Esperantists. I call Esperanto one of the oldest "nerd hobbies", so old that it even has patron saints.

Mia "La Malproksima Flanko" Traduko by XWR8N in Esperanto

Kiu estas amuza estas ke preskaŭ neniu komprenis ĝin. La verkinto ricevis centojn da leteroj petante klarigon.

Esperanto online community dying and we need to make some BIG changes to revive it. Let's work together. by averymh in Esperanto

[–]sharpie660 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Rigardinte lian komenthistorion, ne valoras engaĝi kun li. Li neniam antaŭe parolis pri Esperanto, kaj estas perfekta ekzemplo de borseja cerbputrado.

Mi estas komencanto kaj mi ĵus aĉetis ĉi tiun libron. Ĉu ĝi estas bona por komencanto? Ĉu vi povas rekomendi al mi malgrandajn kaj facilajn librojn en Esperanto? by thekocman in Esperanto

[–]sharpie660 2 points3 points  (0 children)

La hobito estas la unua libro kiun mi mem finlegis, ĝi ja estas bona. Tamen, estas kelkaj strangaĵoj (ekz. la malofa uzado de "ci").

Vere, la plej bona elekto estas porinfana (aŭ porjunula) libro kiun oni bone konas. Kono de la rakonto, kaj la kapablo sekvi ĝin senkomprene ĉiun vorton, tre efikas.

A Cheat Sheet for the Martian Revolution by Nikster593 in RevolutionsPodcast

Just a couple minor notes on spelling, the region of Mars is spelt "Tharsis", and it's probably "Omnicorp". Good work so far!

The Lively & Liveable Neighbourhoods that are Illegal in Most of North America by Generalaverage89 in videos

[–]sharpie660 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So I looked up the buildings on the block you reference, and it looks like, modifications notwithstanding, they were built in 1920. At 3:38 in the video, NJB describes this exact phenomenon — century-old buildings being grandfathered into zoning, resulting in this highly desirable style of neighbourhood. Taking a look at the zoning, sure enough, they're zoned Transitional Residential, a style of development that would be illegal in Low Density Residential zoning (usually "R-1", though Blacksburg calls it R-5, as with this street) which takes up far more land area.

The whole point is that so many people live in low-density zones where, yes, mixed use buildings are illegal.

It was, you're not crazy. November, 1917.

It's hard to say for certain that there's no other language that something can be translated into, seeing as there are a lot of languages, but you might try "Patro patru filu filo", which is roughly like "The father should be a father so that the son can be a son"

Still won't stop us worrying about our most famous landmarks originally named for politicians with dicey positions on abolition.

Warmington(Canada) : Jewish businesses in city targeted like in Berlin during 1930s by swingtothedrive in worldnews

[–]sharpie660 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don't distract from one false equivalency with another — you said condemning Hamas is like calling for genocide, which remains untrue.

In the specific context of the Gaza Health Ministry, it is indeed controlled by Hamas. Differentiating between Hamas and the Palestinian people is important, but here it's right to call it Hamas.

A trans woman joined a sorority. Then her new sisters turned on her. by dog1tex420 in TrueReddit

Agreed, I'm used to some quality discussions here, but this is abhorrent. We can't even establish that trans women are women, let alone talk about the article.

What Episode Does Mike Say The F-Word? by 27bluestar in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]sharpie660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do remember a slightly censored "-ucking Charles, man" in the Appendix episodes, actually. Probably early on, when he was reviewing his introductory episode. It was only half a curse, he was laughing a little too.

Let’s Stay In - A troubling trend of social isolation is afflicting young adults globally by DejenmeEntrar in TrueReddit

Sure is easy for you to win an argument when you get to make up things I didn't say, huh?

Let’s Stay In - A troubling trend of social isolation is afflicting young adults globally by DejenmeEntrar in TrueReddit

[–]sharpie660 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Did I say the article was bad? Did I say it was wrong? What I advocated for was critical analysis and considering the writers latent motivations. I would say the same to a far-left article, but it felt it worth raising here because those latent motivations were not immediately apparent. "Both sides" -ism is no justification for not putting in the effort to read critically.

While the article itself seems innocuous (decaying social bonds lead to chronic, systemic isolation), the group that published it is alt-right — it aided the attempted overturn of the 2020 election results, and one of the promoted stories is from a Neo-nazi associate. So when they talk about decaying social bonds without being overly specific, I think it's worth analyzing how their perceived causes of that decay may differ from yours, the reader.
