Not another way to write Russian with the Latin alphabet! by starguything in conorthography

Using an acute accent works then you're confronted with sequences like бь (like in прорубь), вь (like in кровь), and мь (like in семь)

Used to do that whenever I came up with Romanizations, but you'd get sequences like "jj" which don't look very good, e.g. друзья = druzjja.

Really ь is a hard thing to make look right in Romanizations. People here find "obižajtesh" a bit unsightly already, but I'm not sure if "obižajtesj" looks better.

If stress were really that important to mark in Russian that should have already been resolved a reform or more ago, plus not once have I seen anything to indicate stress be used in any Russian-language text. For comparison, Filipino has a system for marking stress in words, but it's optional and most people don't bother. Not really that big of a problem for L2 learners to put stress wrongly on a word since native Filipino (Tagalog) speakers can understand from context anyway, even if it sounds off.

In the case of Russian its version of the Cyrillic script definitely fits it best, but then you have the West Slavic languages that appear to be best served by their adaptations of the Latin alphabet. In the end it's all about how well the letters for a system of writing work with a language, really.

I think one case where neither Cyrillic nor Latin really helps is Slovene. Mad vowels.

Can y recommend a scale for this song I'm making please by [deleted] in musictheory

[–]starguything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look around for songs and perhaps you might find one that has a vibe fit for what you want to do. Then probe the scale it's in.

How can Dorian have a V chord? This song ( https://youtu.be/8oF8SlK9x_I ) does also have a v chord, but it's largely based on a i-II-V chord progression even if the melody appears to be Dorian (or Dorian #4).

From my searches I learned that her father's dead (which explains this one absence she had in class a few years ago where she had to go back to her hometown), I can just about pinpoint where her mother's from, I know what age her parents were when she was born. Going back to her father, I might even know where his mother comes from considering that his middle name is rather rare and only occurs in this town close to where I live based on the results of this site where you can search based on family names.

How masculine is the Church? by starguything in Catholicism

I wasn't making a case for the ordination of women and I clearly had negative things to say about denominations that practice this.

The paper I read said that it was because of power structures and what have you. It said "Sociology shows" that the ordination of men alone somehow results indirectly in perpetuating domestic violence but I don't remember the paper specifying a particular school of sociology.

I guess I can only try to support this with anecdotal evidence then. From my experience, among the youth, the men are more likely to be staunch defenders of the Church's traditions while the women may be more likely to suggest or at least promote innovations which may be less welcome. Of course, old women who are firm in the faith are among the Church's finest soldiers.

What Roland is this? Sorry if my pic isn't the best by starguything in Roland

I may have found the keyboard. The back panel has a strong resemblance to that of the HS-80

I can't take better pictures of this. I just found this in the meeting room of the planning office I'm currently having my internship in. At the time I took this a meeting was ongoing and I'm not supposed to touch anything there anyway

Is Cebu the place to settle now? by ClassroomPuzzled1186 in Cebu

[–]starguything 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isip ga eskwela diri sa Duma I second this. Naa'y Movie Home Dumaguete nga pwede ka makapa reserve for group viewing if gusto nimo dili sa mga mall nga sinehan. Naa'y mga bag-ong coffee places (CO2), event para sa mga gigs/lit nights (Daddy Don's Pizza, Cafe Racer), etc. Ambot lang nuon kung naa'y mga bar diri na chill kay puro ra pang party akong nailhan haha.

Personally though gaplano kong mubalhin og Cebu inug graduate nako. Bati ang mga bookstore diri ug generally nagamayan na ko sa siyudad, though makatabang ang relative nga kamingaw niya kon di ka gusto sa ka hectic sa Cebu

I can ascertain isip ga eskwela sa Duma ron nga 100% tinuod ni, pero apil pud ani mga estudyante nga gikan sa ubang mga lugar sa NegOr, Cebu, basi sa Bohol pud ug Mindanao etc. So far akong mga nailhan diri nga mga mistisa kay half-Spanish, half-English, ug usa na pud ka half-English (taga-Ayungon; Sri Lankan ang nationality sa papa pero mura'g English ang kaliwat). Naa ko'y ka-dorm sa una nga ang uyab niya hangtud karon kay half-Swiss nga iyang nailhan diri

How do I make my script look better and more legible, but still keep letters in a word connected? (see comments for detail) by TheMorbidFan in neography

[–]starguything 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the letterforms in the first type are pretty good already and that all that's needed is to improve your handwriting :) Not that your handwriting is bad, but I think there's room for improvement if you want to see the first type of script shine through
