You got it. I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too lazy to do it right!

The "right one" is to stop treating it as a "single issue" matter and dismissing literally decades of education research.

Maybe go read a modern textbook on education and see what issues there are, what the research on the subject says, and derive from that some conclusions about any "single issue" approach to education (whether it's "TEHY JUST NEED MORE JEEBUS!" or "we should throw everything out and replace it with reading").

So the "right one" is to shut the fuck up if you think there's a one-size-fits-all approach to education. Kind of like if you think there's a one-size-fits-all approach to anything. Even carpentry.

It has no declensions (tenses, aspects, moods, voices, grammatical number), no word forms and a purely-positional grammar.

So, no. It's not even slightly close to German grammar.

Chinese languages are dirt simple ... unless you want to read or write them. 🤣

Spellynge and gramere ben of greet importaunce.

At the leeste, assayeth to doon it wel.

Save speche with folk, it is the manere whereby we commune with othere. It may be in craft (that is, professional wise), or in lightnesse (casually), or with felawes and frendes. With frendes, men mowe be ful unceremonious, and yif it be thy wone, thou mightest strowe thy writ with signes and ymages (emojis). Natheless, in casual wise, eek in writen wordes upon the net, folk oughten first to usen more formal stile, til they han y-espied the mood of the compaignye.

In matters of craft and office, ther is noon excusacioun; I care nat how “brighte” a man is holden, ne sholde he have licence for what-so-ever slouthe cometh doun the email weye (save his wit be y-joined with som sothfast diversitee of wit, as neurodivergence or swich). The vile writ that I have seen y-come from “professionals” is naught but shameful.

I mean if you're using modern English you're using hundreds of years of accumulated error.

(Be glad I only reached back to Middle English. Nobody wants to see what Old English looks like for this. What's that? You do?)

Stæfcræft and stæfgewritnes sind swiðe mære.

Mid frēondum mæg man beon untrum and spedig, and gif hit is þīn gewuna, þu miht asettan hīehte-tācn (emojis) swā hit þē licað.

Ah. My apologies. I've heard so many people using that line about the cabal to explain why I should be using Linux that I mistakenly attached you to that. 🤣

One of many reasons I don't trust "EVERYTHING MUST BE COMPUTERIZED!"

I have quite a few friends who are former lovers.

The things that make good friends don't always make for the best lovers. It's almost like we have two different words there for a reason.

For OP, your problem isn't friends/lovers. It's that when you broke up you weren't sufficiently firm on post-breakup boundaries.

我总是嘲笑那些觉得英语拼写很难的人。中文加入了聊天。

[–] ZDL@ttrpg.network 1 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

These, while all probably true (I lack the technical chops to evaluate), don't matter for most people.

What matters to most people is having a computer that doesn't actively interfere with their ability to do their work. And that's where Linux fails, regardless of the reason.

Nobody cares that their machine doesn't do X on Linux because of some cabal behind the scenes arranging it. They care they can't do X on Linux, but they can on Windows.

What trilogy? There were only ever two Star Wars movies: Star Wars, and The Empire Strikes Back.

Everything else is an unfunny Internet conspiracy theory.

 

Technically this doesn't really count as an obscure instrument where I live, but I suspect there are very few people outside of here who know it. These are stone chimes that date back to "scary-antiquity" times (at least 2500 years and likely more). The set being played is a reproduction of the set found in the tomb of the Marquis Yi of Zeng currently sitting on display in the Hubei Provincial Museum.

As is usual when describing some of the odder musical instruments here, I use the "it's like … but" formulation.

It's like a xylophone, but arranged sideways, and also suspended on wires or thin ropes (depending on which era), oh, yeah, and the sounding plates are made of stone.

 

When he struggles to reach across the board to move his chariot, I lose the plot.

 

 

… that everybody who confuses correlation with causation winds up dying.

 

This is what happens if you get an American djent drummer working together with a Chinese jazz bassist and a Chinese jazz guitarist creating polyrhythmic nigh-cacophony that gets tied together into a coherent whole by an Immortal come down from the moon after a Friday night bender singing.

 

 

I'm not joking …

… but he is.

 

…but we can do better!

 

So when they return to port they can just Scandinavian.
