[boyslit]

[doberbutts]

I started HRT at approximately 30 and top surgery at 32 just 4.5 months prior to this photo. It's never too late.

i feel like we've completely killed the ability to just gently tell someone when they're wrong or that their opinions don't pass the vibe check. we have to accommodate every single type of person and all their dogshit opinions OR we have to drive them off the internet, no in between

they used to let kids have real fun

[afriendofblahaj]

There's an xkcd for that :3

Side note: polonium-210 is a very dangerous isotope, however it "does not pose a radiation hazard when kept outside the body", as the alpha particle it emits have very little penetration power and cannot pierce even the outer layers of dead skin. It has still killed countless people, though, not because of children's rings, but because of tobacco. Polonium latches onto and concentrates in tobacco leaves, leading to heavy smokers being exposed to more radiation than survivors of the Chernobyl disaster.

It's always wild to me seeing comments about different toxins like this on information about random things in the past, but it's never discussed when it comes to cigarettes.

Not to be rhe ten millionth person to say “USAmerican President Donald Trump Is An Incoherent Public Speaker Whose Train Of Thought Can Be Best Described As Scat Jazz” but I just remembered that when he talks at international events it is several dozen people’s job to translate what he’s saying and what he intends to say to world leaders in real time

And I desperately wish to hear how they do it

[teaboot]

If anyone reading this isn’t fluent enough in English to understand the sentences that man says, please know that he has essentially mixed a number of adjectives and topics together in a hat and is pulling them out at random like a horrible children’s game

[teaboot]

Like that waxy jaundiced bitch will straight up be like “J'étais sur internet l'autre jour – internet, la plus grande invention américaine. Et la Chine a “internet aussi. Pas un bon internet, pas comme le mien, j'ai un internet formidable. Les gens me disent : « Donald, ton internet est génial ! » On adore l'internet de Donald. Mais la Chine… Chine, Chine, Chine… Vous savez qu'ils mangent des oiseaux ? C'est terrible. J'adore les oiseaux. La Chine mange des oiseaux. Pas comme nous. Pas comme mes oiseaux. Mais vous savez, c'est comme ça, et c'est terrible. Mais voilà ce que je vais faire : je vais sauver les oiseaux. Je vais sauver internet et sauver les oiseaux. Tous ces magnifiques oiseaux. Pour l'Amérique. Et la Chine va nous détester pour ça. Ils vont nous détester parce qu'on est les meilleurs sur oiseaux”. And people will lose their minds

International translators have had this problem for A While - if they *don't* clean up what he says to sound coherent, they look like they're doing a bad job.

oh my god

[freckles-a-constellation]

There was a scandal in Poland because one translator decided to translate him accurately, tone, vocabulary level and word salad tangents and all. Polish conservatives who don't speak English and previously only heard smoothed out translations that sounded coherent and used big words were up in arms about how the translator was "inserting her political agenda", "mocking him", "exaggerating", "purposefully trying to make him look bad" and "incredibly unprofessional". I listened to the translation in question. It was literally just accurate.

5. Sensitive and Controversial Language Trump’s speeches occasionally contain misogynistic, sexist, or inflammatory language. Japanese interpreter Tsuruta, for example, faced challenges when translating sexualized remarks, ultimately opting for standard terminology to maintain professionalism. Similarly, Chinese translator Kumiko Torikai found certain lewd expressions ethically challenging, ultimately leading to her retirement. Navigating these situations requires skillful balancing of accuracy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity, ensuring that the translation is appropriate without distorting the original intent.

I don't know why the authors of PoliLingua act as if Trump's verbal misogyny and racism wasn't very much part of his "original intent".

it only now dawns on me that millions of people on this planet think Trump is way smarter than he is because translators have neglected to relate his violent speech accurately out of misunderstood politeness. Make the ape sound like a ape

[cosmogyros]

We had a mini-scandal in the German translation/interpretation community last year about exactly this – the interpreter for the inauguration got sick of Trump's incoherence and made a remark into his mic that was not intended to be heard (here's my post on it).

[uncooked-glass]

Mumbo's new video has a bunch of little easter eggs on his title cards and the Grumbot one caught my eye

I popped it into a binary translator and guys this says "I miss my dads" 😭😭

all that trouble

They know each other's coffee orders by heart I can feel it

[blackcharacterpolls]

I absolutely adore Blue, i was so happy one of my favorite things actually has a Black character in it, a soft, whimsical Black character with a canon partner who would do anything for him (which we don't get to see often at all), but i just knew immediately people were going to be werid about him 😭 and were only a few days into chapter 5 being out and im already seeing people say things about him that scream "if he wasn't Black you wouldn't be saying this"

It sucks that whenever we get new Black characters\representation, its always questioned, must have some kind of "reason" to be there, or perceived as the worst or least likable aspect of said media, it happens every single time.

Prism got a lot misogynoir against her, Coupé is barley represented in Dispatch fanart, Jabber's Black identity was frequently questioned, Mel is frequently subjected to some of the worst mischaraciztion and misogynoir ive ever seen in a fandom so much so her VA was shocked at the response to her character, Jacinthe's soft demeanor and style were constantly questioned beacuse shes a dark-skinned Black woman, Nessa being drawn as a monkey and whitewashed to filth, Wyll is deeply hated in the bg3 fandom despite being the nicest character in the main cast, the reaction to Sam (The falcon) becoming the new Captain America, characters like Darwin, Jazz, Marina and even Aisha are constantly having their Black identity and coding questioned despite it being extremely obvious or even outright confirmed, I could go on, there are so many examples.

digital ads arent just annoying, intrusive and privacy invading but they burn a significant amount of global energy usage. the exact numbers are hard to find because they get buried but estimates i saw when i researched this a few years ago (and was not subjected to a flood of ai generated articles) put it around 1% of yearly global energy usage
