Chug Jug with Who? The Linguistics of Fortnite

[cryptotheism]

The hoes are unimpressed with your sarcastic detachment, and are enchanted with my sincere wonder. Writhe like the worm you are.

Here’s the link to all of the free online classes offered by Harvard:

https://www.edx.org/school/harvardx

But TBH I prefer the MIT Open Coursewear approach. Feel like taking a class on the policy and economics of nuclear engineering? MIT’s got you covered:

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/find-by-topic/#cat=engineering&subcat=nuclearengineering&spec=nuclearsystemspolicyandeconomics

In fact they’ve got  you covered with A LOT of their courses, everything from fine arts to immunology.

Have fun :)

WHERE HAS THIS BEEN THE LAST TWO YEARS

[moss-sprout]

I'm starting a collection

[chongoblog]

A group of teens have just started their high school careers at a prestigious institution. But one day, they wake up, the whole school in lockdown, and none of them know how they got there. Suddenly, a screen turns on... "Get ready for a Game Changer!"

Visit Original Link

that audio perfectly manifested Samokuma in my head. and now he's free.

This is lovely advice.

Did any of y'all even watch the show or are you just repeating some Youtube Funnyman's opinions? It's not that bad - pretty standard Star Wars stuff. If we're gonna go this ballistic over something weird and silly in Star Wars, I'm sorry but literally all of Star Wars is on the chopping block

[robin-hood-for-freedom]

At this point 'pretty standard star wars stuff' is 'objectively god-aweful'

[benravioli]

All the SW fans I've talked to who have actually *watched* the show have enjoyed it so far

[robin-hood-for-freedom]

Good for them I guess.

[benravioli]

I mean if you don't want to watch it that's whatever. It's just very odd to have such strong feelings on a show one hasn't seen

[silverscreeny]

It's odd to go this far out of your way to defend a show about lesbian space witches getting pregnant through space magic.

[benravioli]

Well, that's not what the show is about, but even if it was it's really not that much sillier than the movies about the farm boy fighting his evil magic robot dad. Witches have been doing crazy stuff with the Force since they appeared in TCW

>star wars is on the chopping block

You see why that's a good thing don't you? I'd also argue the moment Disney bought it was actually the moment that the guillotine dropped and we've just been watching a corpse fade away, twitching now and then but ultimately over.

Good news is that maybe it'll lose so much money that Disney will either sell it outright or maybe someone will come along WHO ACTUALLY ENJOYS THE SOURCE MATERIAL and they will give them free reign to make something truly great.

But you have writers and actors who admit to never really seeing it or even liking it and you wonder if it's the fans who are wrong? Something might be wrong with you.

[benravioli]

There are 9 writers on The Acolyte, and they brought on 1 who hadn't seen Star Wars before to get an outside perspective. That seems like a perfectly reasonable creative decision to me. You're whining a lot about "Disney" here and not any actual problems you have with the show

[howl224tgeundying]

first episode has a fire in space that acts like a regular fire, no thought whatsoever put into how a fire in space would act. The acting is pretty shite, the choreography is pretty lame and the premise is stupid "an acolyte kills without a weapon". I like the visuals and costumes to a degree but it's overall just pretty bad and only star wars in name.

Disney is just the cancer that's destroying it by half assing stuff despite being a multi billion dollar company and ruining a beloved franchise with people that literally don't even give a shit about said franchise. Like the hyper drive ship missile in TLJ, complete retardation that only a moron that didn't understand the source material would do. They're also trying to shove real world politics and agendas for seemingly no other reason than to please people that don't even like the franchise, in the process shitting all over the fans.

Shill.

[benravioli]

Sorry but if space physics being realistic is a critical concern I'm afraid Star Wars has never been the franchise for you. It's just as easy to hand wave that and say "ah, I suppose it's burning whatever is coming out of that pipe" as it is to say "ah, that shield there that lets ships pass through it also keeps all the oxygen in"

[cynosurus]

Spotted a 是。。。的 construction in the wild:

- 你到底是怎么认出我的？ - How did you recognise me?

New words / 生词 ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

认出 rènchū recognition / to recognize

到底 dào​dǐ​ finally / in the end / when all is said and done / after all / to the end / to the last

[bngrc]

I always think of 到底 serving the same function in a sentence as the expression "the hell" in English. "How the hell did you recognize me?" It's an intensifier.

Set of Esperanto postcards by C. Sheehan, 1922

[fipindustries]

I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

[amber-averlong]

🎶 This is the very model of a modern major parody.

It's quite well done as well. Huzzah! A veritable rarity.

OP has skills that linger on and well into posterity.

I wish them all the best of luck and all the great prosperity.

With continuous success in making modern major parody! 🎶
