Okay it's almost 2pm so my daily Hockeyshow musings morning must come to an end

culmaer

it's just occurred to me that hockeyshow is probably about ice hockey, since that's default hockey in your part of the world

#sorry. I was trying to be a supportive mutual #but I can't hide it anymore I guess : I don't know anything about hockeyshow

I've reached a 200 day streak of Esperanto on duolingo and... it's not fun. it still doesn't feel like a habit ; it's a chore to do it daily. but I kinda don't want to stop

it is such an intriguing language I do actually want to develop some proficiency in, even though, to be clear, I do not believe in or ideologically agree with the concept of auxlangs. I've seen many conlanger and polyglot critiques of Esperanto on youtube over the past 17 years, but the language sucks in ways none of the reviews prepare one for. and yet there are charming elements in there as well, and I can see why there are so many Esperantidos and even how it influenced Toki pona

@geschiedenis-en-talen : Classic case of know thy enemy

yes ! that's it ! I hadn't even thought of it in that way, but you're absolutely right ! Esperanto is my enemy and I must know it completely

#brilliant analysis. well done

So wild how so many shows on TV has like.... campus police, or a small-town sheriff who runs a tight ship, or cheerleaders and stuff

And how so many of them share the same vocabulary, like "Freshmen" and "Sorority" and "FBI"

Do you think they all take place in the same universe

Rêrig mal hoe daar in so veel TV-programme soos.... kampuspolisie is, of 'n distriksbevelvoerder in 'n klein dorpie wat die teuels styf hou, of rasieleiers en so voorts

En hoe so baie van hulle dieselfde woordeskat gemeen het, soos "Freshmen" en "Sorority" en "FBI"

Dink julle ál die stories vind in dieselfde wêreld plaas

#this would be an ideal post for the Afrikaans translation blog #but what even is a sheriff how would I translate that ?#the people we call sheriffs in ZA (or balju in Afrikaans) are officers of the court. they are not a type of police or law enforcement #which is what the American sheriffs seem to be #also I don't know offhand what a cheerleader is in Afrikaans but there must be a word for that #they even have them at the cricket these days. (and by these days I mean the last decade I have not watched cricket or any sport since 2010)

Curious what is actually normal for bed time. Go for your normal/average time, not your most extreme or what you wish it was.

what time do you go to bed? (local time)

7pm or before

8pm

9pm

10pm

11pm

12am

1am

2am or after

it's never consistent

some other time entirely

Remaining time: 3 days 13 hours

I just don't know what grownups do for bedtime and I want to know!!!

#22h to 23h is ideal #and I am usually in bed by 23h. but more often than not I'll be reading or watching youtube or something #and only actually go to sleep around 01h ~ 01h30

Marjane Satrapi, l'autrice franco-iranienne de (entre autres) Persepolis, est décédée à l’âge de 56 ans. Elle est « morte de tristesse un peu plus d’un an après le décès de Mattias Ripa, son mari et l’amour de sa vie », indique un communiqué de ses proches transmis ce jeudi.

Proposée pour la Légion d'honneur le 3 juillet 2024, elle avait refusé la décoration début 2025 pour s'opposer à ce qu’elle percevait comme une « attitude hypocrite de la France vis-à-vis de l’Iran », notamment en ce qui concerne l'attribution de visas à des enfants d’« oligarques iraniens » plutôt qu'aux « jeunes Iraniens épris de liberté, dissidents, et artistes ».

Sometimes on forums the admins would automatically censor the word "cum" which created such wonderful turns of phrase as "he graduated suma-***-laude"

natalieironside

And sometimes when they censor movies for American television they'll bleep the 'hole' part of "asshole" [ie, "That guy's a real ass****"] and the 'god' part of "goddamn" [ie, "Oh, ***dammit!"] so when I was a small child I thought there were such cusses as "assfuck" [noun; an unpleasant person] and "fuckdamn"

natalieironside

#there was always someone whose name got censored#like C***andra suddenly having a way worse implication#forums#also reminds me of that paleontology conference where “bone” got censored#censorship

Cuntandra is a name of great power

#where's that screenshot of the presumably Arab guy called Nasser whose name was censored in a way which made it seem Much Worse

I hope this doesn't sound pretentious because I mean this very sincerely. but I feel kinda sad or vulnerable, maybe, not quite sure what the emotion is, when I've been to listen to a live orchestra or choir, and it's been the most viscerally beautiful experience, and as the final note ends, the audience immediately bursts into thunderous applause. now just hear me out ! I know we want to thank the performers !

but we've just been touched by magic ! and you're ready to just move on !? let's take a breath, please, literally just one second to breathe out. and with the acoustics in the theatre that final chord will reverberate and echo around us for a moment before it fully dissipates. let's breathe it in. savour it. just for a second. and then, once it's settled,, we applaud long and loudly. cheer, even, if you want to, but just at least wait for the conductor to lower their hands otherwise it's like being woken from the most wonderous dream by an alarm clock

culmaer

there's a change happening in North American English (and I've heard USAans and Canadians speak like this consistently and for a quite a while now so I think it really is an emergent feature in their dialect, not just one or two individuals misspeaking) but it's not happening in South African English and so every time I hear it, it sounds so odd I get distracted for a second and then need to refocus. they're just not using the past participle much anymore

Americans will be like "I should've went to the store earlier" or "yeah, you could've ate the leftovers" and the preterite form there just pokes at my brain

in SAfE that'd be "I should've gone to the shops earlier" and "ja, you could've eaten that"

now idk if this is just in past modal constructions with should/would/could, or if it's in all composed past tenses, like, if someone asks "have you seen Project Hail Mary" I might respond "yes, I've seen it" but "yes, I saw it" is an equally valid response. and I can't quite remember hearing Americans use the form *"yes, I've saw it"... I doubt that's a thing. but "I should've went to see it while it was still in theatres" definitely is

elizabethswitch

Talking this through with another US Virginian, we agree that the construction indicates a finite missed opportunity.

Shoulda went to the store earlier (before it closed). Shoulda ate breakfast (before the shift started).

Should've gone to the grocery store (might make a convience store run). Should've eaten breakfast (fixing to have a snack).

And I may say, it isn't a novel construction in Am. Eng. It's long in the tooth and present in a couple few dialects.

culmaer

oh ! I didn't pick up on that nuance/distinction at all ! pretty interesting

#I've only noticed it for the past year or so #but then I'm not on the ground in the Americas so I'll trust you that it's an older phenomenon #american english #langblr

Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art, Cape Town, South Africa

culmaer

the Zeitz MOCAA is the largest museum of contemporary African Art in the world and the interior architecture is truly incredible. the reason it looks like that, is because the building used to be a complex of grain silos and they've just carved out bits of it, exposing cross-sections of the old silo chambers and shafts and chutes and tunnels.

#I love that building so much it's genuinely one of my favourite places in the city #they also genuinely do good work for the art sector #but apparently they have a really toxic institutional culture behind the scenes #I've met a few former employees who hated their time there #again they do good work and it looks great on your cv. but the ends don't justify the means that's just unnecessary #oh hang on the director died last year #maybe things have changed since then. let me not gossip and spread mistruths #I don't know whether she was responsible for the toxic culture. it may well have predated her tenure #but there has been a leadership change Nd one would assume that could lead to a change in culture
