Zompist Bboard Again

Some MRA is already rewriting the "4B" article on Wikipedia to discourage the easily-misled ladyfolk of America from pursuing that interest, after it started popping up MSM/social media in the last week. The side of the internet I'm on has been talking about it since earlier in the year a...

I started making a map for my science fantasy human homeworld. Also been working on learning coding and making a website but that's more been the past week and not today. Although I have worked on the website today as well.

Also consider that Trump is 70 and not actually in the best health. Don't you at least want to outlive him? 78, I think. I mean at this point I try to keep as little track of the guy as I'm able but this is just better for my point. Just to clarify, I'm not wishing death on him, especially since an...

Both are acceptable variations to me. If anything, the version with /ɑ:/ sounds less American, but not completely unheard where I'm living in Idaho.

Very oddly, my windows computer shows the monarch in the title, but the blue one in the post itself.

I don't think they even gathered - everything was ornamental. ... you're thinking of the Nox. the threat was a visit from the Goa'uld System Lord Apophis, who was the team's enemy (though Apophis wasn't there in pursuit of them - the planet was a regular place for goa'ulds to explore for advanced t...

I've considered the idea of cultures that intentionally regress, in some ways at least, while keeping high tech for when it's needed. I forget the name, but such a culture was involved in one of the episodes of the original Stargate series. The main crew arrive at a world that looks neolithic at bes...

I will take a look at it when I have time, and leave my thought here once I do.

I hope everything goes well with the surgeries and recovery, but that's certainly rough, Tom.

My experience with Catholics in the USA is that they're Catholics first when it comes to what congregation they'll join, unless a specific church is the only one that has certain masses in specific languages. If you have Hispanic Catholics and English only speaking Catholics, and one church has Span...

Japanese uses と <to> between items of a complete list, and や <ya> between a list of examples. So: "Niku to yasai to gohan o tabemashita." = "I ate meat, vegetables, and rice (only)." "Niku ya yasai ya gohan o tabemashita." = "I ate (things like) meat, vegetables, ...

On the original tumblr poll I was one of the people who answer fairy, despite believing fairies (or some equivalent) exist, because I have anti-fairy measures. I don't have anti-walrus measures. I trust my anti-fairy measures (and the probability they aren't real) more than I trust someone couldn't...

Wait, do you mean "incel" as in "murderous far-right misogynist terrorists and far-right misogynist terrorist sympathizers"? What kind of person seriously uses that as a medical term? Big red flag. Fun(?) fact: Before the term got coopted by misogynistic far right bigots who wan...

Not today but last night. I've been bogolanging some words for planets, months and the like for my story world using proto-Germanic as a base (when available) and rederiving terms using less-than-perfect sound change lists. Then I just figure a good way to write the result for English readers and I ...

Personally I love living "in the future". The problem is there are People Who Use Cool Tech for Bad Shit. The actual tech, in most cases, is pretty cool and most people I personally interact with are actually fairly kind and considerate. I can use a vast network of computers to research ho...

Jlect is super exciting until you realize how little breadth it has -- it's really not usable except as an online user interface for a selection of dictionaries -- standard language, a lot of Ryukyuan langauges, and a very patchy handful of topolects. Unfortunately and obviously, the non-appearance...

That is fantastic! Thank you
