Re: COVID-19 thread
Ya I had heard of this. Adapt or go extinct i guess. Distilleries in Chicago don't really need to worry about this, as liquor stores have officially been designated "essential services" under the terms of the State of Illinois' stay-at-home order. But as far as I know, only one--CH Distil...

Re: Daily Creativity Thread
No, no, I hadn't even noticed those tbh. That's a cool touch tho. The ones I mean are those geometrical, black-and-white blocky patterns that aren't representational and that have rotational symmetry: the ones the little birdie with the palm crown is looking at.

Re: Daily Creativity Thread
Well, I've been playing around at the piano for something like three years, whereas I've only had my cello for one and a bit: the unfortunate consequence of this is that I _can_ produce nice-sounding things at the piano, and not at the cello. Not only that, but it's a remarkably hard instrument to l...

Re: Daily Creativity Thread
Those sound very professional to my untrained ears, Torco, nice work! But I think I speak for everyone when I say... step away from the piano and write some cello-based conworld music! Thanks! the good thing about the cello is that you get to play around with odd tunings and microtonal stuff, just ...

Hey, Ars ! still feels like home here. I'm perfectly safe this far, Chile is a lot earlier in its curve. 4) And poor people living in trailer homes and apartments will be the least able to handle this thing.

Here's a page of Peter Rabbit in Saava's native script. https://i.imgur.com/XSU26HW.png Imma pull a serali here and say that is one pretty scriptie. I have this feeling that a lot of conscripts that are rich in twirlies and loopdiloops (technical terms, mind you) are also overly complicated, but th...

Not to mention the transition is gonna ruin or end plenty of lives: not that late stage capitalism doesn't but hey. I trust it'll be worth it for the end of absurd copyright law alone.

Re: Elections in various countries
No Bolsonaro discussion yet? I mean, granted, it's yet another right wing fascistoid populist amongst a bit of a tidal wave of right wing populists, but Brazil is a pretty big deal.

Re: Why do you avoid passive voice?
If always the passive voice was used, and the active voice was rarely ever used, the thought that this would have implications as to how we describe our grammar occurs to me.

Re: How to describe morphosyntax?
I'm not as good at linguistics as a great many here, but for my two cents I'd think there's good reason to describe some languages with paradigmata laid out in complete tables, and others with just the rules: if there's 95 different rules going into it and all are super regular, then no, please don'...
