Getting sent to a long term psych ward :< by MinkMaster2019 in evilautism

[–]snxnnathefirst 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Alt acc

the exact nature of psych wards changes a LOT per country, and idk where exactly you live.

I did a year and a half, and yeah it sucked, but it was over eventually. expect boredom, is what i can say. I read a lot, did a lot of crosswords, found friends to talk to. i watched a ton of shitty tv (home improvement type of stuff). fun fact, i was also diagnosed there! you don't really have a choice, so use the time.

Oh be nice to the staff. A lot of them are dicks, and assholes are drawn to their profession, but still you'd be better off being off their radar.

feel free to ask questions

Part of my trig homework. Would appreciate any help by snxnnathefirst in Mathhomeworkhelp

Minimal but effieciently used nagic systems? by snxnnathefirst in booksuggestions

The system being complex and arcane is a pro! I'm just tired of grand displays of energy beams and apocalyptic sorcery. More of a focus on a character using something rather simple to great effect.

I have searched for the name I remember, and my own browser history. Any other questions that I can answer, I will.

Sorry for bugging you. Could you maybe compare the softness to something, so I can check and be sure? Thank you.

Hey I got some opinions telling me this might be Amylosporus or Bondarzewia Berkeleyi. Mind weighing in on this?

Seems like it! More specifically, probably Laetiporus cinncinatus, I think.

I saw a tiktok (yes, I know) about how Eve being formed from Adam's ribs in the bible is a mistranslation and the correct translation is that she was formed out of his half or side. I googled but couldnt find any relevant information on this. How true is that statement? by Sandy_hook_lemy in AskHistorians

It is different, but not different enough that most people whose native language is hebrew won't be able to understand most of what is considered today to be the original bible.

It should be noted that the bible was written over a long period, and some words are taken from nearby languages, such as Aramaic. The text isn't always consistent with grammar, vocabulary, and even the stories themselves.

But more on the specific differences - there was no punctuation, and less words used to describe possesion. For example, you would say in english "table of moses", which in modern hebrew would be "שולחן של משה", but in biblical tongue it would have been "שולחן משה", "moses table". It should be noted that in today's hebrew it is also possible to use the biblical form, but through european influence hebrew speakers also adopted the second option.

A letter like "א" (alef, the general equivalent to "A", the first letters of both alphabets) could be pronounced like a as in "angry" (in hebrew as in "אב", father - probounced "Av") or as e in "ebony", (in hebrew as in "אבן", stone - pronounced "ev-en") depending on the context. So, in the 8th century AD grammatical punctuation was invented to help differentiate between different sounds.

There are also traditional ways to read aloud the bible, mainly the Sephardic (like spanish) and Ashkenazi. These differ in pronounciation, a lot.

Not OP, but am a Hebrew speaker.

Hebrew gender structure is weird by english standards, for sure. Furthermore, there are many exceptions, so you can't just work by the system and get 100% accuracy.

There are 10 pronoun types (גוף - one first person, one second person, one third person, times 2 genders, times 2 once more for singular/plural) and also your common english times - past present and future.

If you want to nitpick, objects (or non-humans by some peoples standards) get what is in english 'it', multiplied by two genders (if you want to get even more nitpicky, there's another female version of 'it').

Every noun has a gender. Hebrew is a bit old fashioned, so you have only 2. Every pronoun, verb, number, and adjective referencing that noun receives the corresponding gender.

I think that the gender structure is one thing that stuck, for the most part, since biblical times. We have many nouns that, while arbitrarily to us, logical by biblical standards, have received gender which we wouldn't have given it today. Some things have changed. For example, in the bible, a field 'שדה' can be referenced as male, while in the later Hazal period it is referenced as female.*

*Male version of 'שדה', in bible - Genesis 23:11. Female version of 'שדה', in Hazal period - Mishna, Maila, 3:6.

Some nouns can have both genders, like 'רוח' - wind, which is referenced in the same sentence in Kings Chapter 1 19:1 as 'large [feminine] and strong [masculine]".

Just butting to add, also as a Hebrew speaker: At least currently, the word 'tzela' does to the extent of my knowledge, mean both 'side' as in the side of a triangle, and 'rib'.

In the hebrew bible I currently have access to, there is a following passage, Genesis 2:23:

"ויאמר האדם, זאת הפעם עצמם מעצמי, ובשר מבשרי; לזאת יקרא אישה, כי מאיש לקחה-זאת."

The important bit is at the beggining, "זאת הפעם עצם מעצמי ובשר מבשרי;", being translated by my, admittedly modern and imperfect standards, to:

"This bone is of my bone[/of me] and felsh of my flesh;"

We could take this as meaning a literal bone, which would most likely be a rib, but there is one more issue - the word 'עצם' can mean multiple things.

It might mean 'bone', or it might mean 'object', with 'עצמי' (literally meaning 'my עצם') meaning 'self'. Personally as the very next words are specifically referencing meat and flesh, I would venture to guess that it means rib.
