baru cormorant middle class quote i need you now more than ever

[werewolbachia]

“In our grand successes over the past century we have invented a monster called a middle class. Our predecessors pillaged the Ashen Sea, and now the people are accustomed to receiving that pillage. And they are accustomed to their innocence. If they learn what we do on distant shores to secure their safety and prosperity, I am certain they would hang us all. Not for the crime of what we did, mind! But for the crime of allowing them to know.”

The Monster Baru Cormorant, Seth Dickinson

"Oh, not you as well, Brutus!" in that voice is the best translation of 'Et tu, Brute?' I've ever heard.

Okay I support the military industrial complex now because that's sick af

The F-15 and the F-22 have a thrust to weight ratio over 1.0. They are, quite literally, accurately described as air-breathing rockets. They don't need their wings in order to fly.

Hence they can pull off awesome shit like the above, but also awesome shit like this:

get an entire wing shot off, fly back to base, and land safely.

How far back in time can you understand English?

An experiment in language change

Nifty little language game here.

I can read back to 1500 with basically no difficulty

at 1400 I have to read slowly and carefully, but I can understand all of it save a couple words

at 1300 I can still comprehend most of it if I read slowly, but a much larger percentage of the words are unfamiliar to me, even with context

1200 and earlier are almost totally unintelligible

[naamahdarling]

Okay, so 1300 was where it took some real thinking. If I were trying to understand it spoken and not written I probably wouldn't do well at all. But there's enough Latin that I would adjust pretty quickly I think. I could achieve full fluency.

I can't do 1200 or anything past it. It is, as the author says, a wall. It feels like a closely related foreign language. I had Spanish lessons at a very early age so I actually do okay at romance languages and skated through 1300 on thstt, but am totally lost here because I know zero German, and as German roots become more prevalent I lose all footing.

Really cool stuff. I really want to know what we will sound like in 100 years and wonder if anyone has made an educated guess at that.

I badly want to start saying “this is my Swarovski Shrek” to refer to any outrageously expensive yet ridiculous object I start coveting. If anyone says “what the fuck” and asks what I mean, well. It’s their lucky day to learn about Swarovski Shrek

anybody else ever think about "it is certainly remarkable of you to love him so deeply when he hates you mortally" "find it remarkable if you wish but he will never be able to hate me so much that i stop loving him." because i fucking do. my severe arthuriana blackout might be a thing of the past by now but damn.............what a crazy fucking line. from the year of our lord approx. 1230

The Color Game. “Humans can’t reliably recall colors. This is a simple game to see how good (or bad) you are at it. We’ll show you five colors, then you’ll try and recreate them.” I scored 39/50 but got a perfect score on one color.
