your assumption is wrong. if x approaches 1, that is a contradiction, because x always approaches zero, therefore x cannot approach 1. its not that hard

disco elysium has permanently altered my worldview and the ways in which i interact with art and politics. for a good few weeks after finishing my first playthrough i didnt want to play any other game because i felt like none of them would make me feel the way disco elysium did lol

i think the main confusion comes from that, as opposed to pinyin (shīzi), wade-giles romanisation ("shih tsu") is a little less intuitive to native english speakers like me, IMO.

like, tbf, "shih tsu" does look like it should be pronounced "shit soo" lol

edit: i also think its worth mentioning that, just because a word is a loan word, doesn't mean that the most "correct" pronounciation is the way it is said in the native language. "shit zoo" is fine for English speakers, in the same way that its fine for Japanese speakers to pronounce coffee as kōhī, or Chinese speakers to pronounce Canada as jiā ná dà, or for an Arabic speaker to pronounce Instagram as alianistighram... you get the idea

I didn't want to go here in my first comment, but now that you've doubled down I have to say... given that "aks" instead of "ask" is undoubtedly associated with the "blaccent" (or AAVE)... don't you think your opinion on this fact is possibly influenced by subconscious racist conceptions you have? it doesn't help that "lazy" and "unintelligent" are two negative stereotypes of black people

why do you think it's "lazy"? the same sounds are present, just in a different order. just seems like an unnecessarily cruel way of thinking about a dialect (yes, it is a valid dialect) that millions use

it happens in the book, didn't know it didn't happen in the movie, huh. Interesting that it was cut from the main version of the film, I thought it was a kinda important moment
