There are some, but they are unlikely to catch on.

hexed hollow
#

they has been used a singular pronoun since the late 1300's though

queen blaze
#

Yeah, it predates singular “you”.

Hmm, wasn't aware

Ty Tatz klinkCozy

hasty kernel
#

Yeah using pronouns that originally were plural for singular is a very old and hardly unusual thing

forest basalt
#

i see they and them as singular and plural like "They are really good at volleyball" that can refer to a girl who plays vollyball and a whole team.

hushed gorge
#

Yeah, I was referring to the grammar of it

#

For example, you wouldn't say "they is"

forest basalt
#

say "they are"

tranquil bay
#

im not sure why this is an issue people bring up, these are grammar rules i learned as a child, they havent changed just because more people are using they/them as pronouns

#

"they are" was always the correct form, not "they is"

hasty kernel
#

Aye

#

I mean I can see why it can be unintuitive, but the thing with languages is

#

Theyre not intuitive

queen blaze
#

This is the same language has three different words “they’re”, “their”, and “there” all pronounced the same way with totally different meanings. Nobody designed this mess.

hasty kernel
#

No part of Leicestershire is pronounced the way it should be

tranquil bay
#

lmao yeah

#

language and grammar is always constantly changing, too

hasty kernel
#

And don't get me started on Worceistershire

queen blaze
#

Teaching a child to read will destroy any faith you had in the order of English.

hasty kernel
#

As they say

queen blaze
#

“Mommy, why does the “e” do that?”

hasty kernel
#

"English is a difficult language. But it can be understood through tough, thorough thought though"

queen blaze
#

“Mommy, why does it have a “k” there?”

hexed hollow
hasty kernel
#

I mean tbh its easy to pronounce if you know how

queen blaze
#

If you only hear the name, sure.

proud flicker
hexed hollow
#

yes 😂

hasty kernel
#

It's just Wooster-sher basically

#

Good luck knowing that's how its pronounced though

forest basalt
#

I still don't understand "Laughter and Daughter"

dry stratus

the Quakers used "thee" as a pronoun in their everyday vernacular

Yeah but that one is originally a joke name iirc

i remember something in russia, maybe volus can confirm, that you could name your child sara but not sarah. or it's the other way around.

faint panther
#

@hexed hollow It's actually "Rea." I'm so sorry.

#

Wait, I should grab the original message.

faint panther
#

Honestly, I'm just a little curious he didn't do what I do and copy Alton Brown's pronunciation.

#

He's cited his influence several times before.

hexed hollow
#

ahh, I always forget the specific spelling of his last name, so always default to "Ray"

#

the only way I can pronounce it with some sembnlence of correctness is
'woosh-ta-shear'

faint panther
#

"wur-ster-shur" or "wer-ster-sher" Probably closer to the second.

Man, that's part of what was nice about Japanese, kanji is a pain but at least the pronunciations don't fluctuate wildly.

Shout out to the time I asked if there was specific kanji for the term "kanji" and Sensei erased the English to replace it with the character.

opinions on fish sauce?

forest basalt
#

what kind?

proud flicker
#

there is one kind of fish sauce brother

forest basalt
#

i had some made out of trout in boston.

#

or sauce you put on fish?

proud flicker
#

fish sauce is tea color, very fishy smell (duh) with salty/umami taste.

forest basalt
#

never had it

mild pelican
#

tbh smell of the fish is the thing that keeps me from that kind of food since childhood

#

i can't understand somebody would like to ruin their meal with it on purpose

sinful hedge
#

there are different mixes of fish sauce

#

but I love it its a normal part of our cuisine

mild pelican
#

not saying they shouldn't exist or something, just don't get it

sinful hedge
#

its a preservative if that helps

#

I grew up using it and eating something with it

#

its salty

mild pelican
#

guess, it has natural amount of salt in it

#

salty sauces are cool though

sinful hedge
#

yea its a normal part of our food especially when it comes to our soup/sauce dishes

#

its a condiment that you use if the dish needs more salt for you

hexed hollow

faint panther
#

Fish sauce on its own is disgusting, but properly layered it wonderfully enhances flavors and can really expand the depth of a dish.

forest basalt

just squish it down together then turn it 90 degrees (i think) and swallow it whole like a tiktoker trying to get famous by swallowing hot dogs.

that's not the US-exclusive issue tbh

forest basalt
dry stratus

absolutely not, no. like the assumptions they make about where you live, volus! that stuff is also stinky

faint panther

Absolutely, but we were definitely the biggest example of what can go wrong if you don't have the right leaders in the right place.

forest basalt

i won't get into those stereotypes but the bottom line is that care shouldn't be such an exclusive thing

its almost like the south suffers from voter disenfranchisement and being gerrymandered to hell and back. most of the large cities frequently vote blue lmao

# forest basalt WHAT THE FFFFFFFF---- proxyword IS GERRYMANDERING?

google is your friend, friend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering

Gerrymandering () is a practice intended to establish an unfair political advantage for a particular party or group by manipulating district boundaries, which is most commonly used in first-past-the-post electoral systems.
Two principal tactics are used in gerrymandering: "cracking" (i.e. diluting the voting power of the opposing party's support...

it's whose more right compared to the other.

#

Oh, easy.

#

Vote for whoever funds public education.

forest basalt
#

I vote for whoever lowers taxes

mild pelican
#

that's two major issues with politics, most of them are there since forever, and nobody deserves much preference

faint panther
#

That's a bad idea, honestly.

#

Because if you did that in 2016, your taxes were cut in early 2017!

forest basalt
#

Like Murray Goldberg said: "It's only about the taxes, kids are smart enough to not do drugs and crap."

faint panther
#

And now they're scheduled to go up again and past what they were during the Obama administration unless you make more than $75k per year.

mild pelican
#

they all say they will lower taxes and raise salaries, and there we still are

proud flicker
#

What are we talking about?

faint panther
#

I make well under $30k, so now my tax burden, which I am only barely shouldering right now, is going to get worse while all the Americans who can handle it will be fine.

If you think that, you should review the 2017 tax cut text.

It was scheduled to go up in 2021.

forest basalt

biden literally said the first thing he would do was raise taxes

faint panther

how can you be intimidating online?

hm

kay

as you demonstrated in #bot-commands

why you read mind?

maybe it's because I no longer use Gamepads as a way to play SGGames, and not cuz I saw a message in here?

what is the plural of possum, "possi," "possy," or "possums?"

Possums

You would only do option A if the singular is "us" specifically

Cacti, rhombi, etc.

idk i kinda like possy

Sriracha for breakfast. Man of culture I see.

yall have breakfast? dang

forest basalt
#

i just eat my dinner for breakfast

tranquil bay
#

i dont eat actual meals til closer to noon or after because eating too early in the morning only makes me more sluggish rofl so i have a light snack to hold me over, if anything

loud garden
#

im the exact opposite, not having breakfast makes me sluggish lol

forest basalt

just suck your thumb. it tastes just as good!

I actually need food to keep myself awake in the morning. Coffee don’t help me stay awake.

I have to eat breakfast. Working hazard and all that jazz.

they give me too much energy.

then i have to sleep it off

or just pass out because my heart is beating so fast

forest basalt
tranquil bay

yes well energy drinks are pretty unhealthy all around, how often you indulge them matters too

quiet briar
#

I never drank any energy drink. Some of the drinks have questionable contents.

tranquil bay
#

i like coffee but i can only really drink it if im prepared to immediately lay down for a bit, esp when i have some strong espresso shots i indulge like twice a year or so lmao the sleepiness punches me in the face three sips in

ive really only done energy drinks at the tail end of overnight jobs, just to make sure i can feel tired out enough to sleep by the time i get home

alright so who wants to invest in dogecoin with me?

proud flicker
#

I looked at the Dogecoin subreddit and it reeks pump and dump to me.

#

So I'll pass. I also don't know much about crypto so there is that, too.

dawn gust
#

I never got stuff like bitcoin

twilit quiver
#

truthfully all crypto is negative since it is soooo destructive to the environment

simple owl
#

speaking of destructive

#

I was confused when I saw this at first

forest basalt
#

cyptocurrency is so weird. they just convinced a bunch of people that a bit of computer code had value then it started selling for 50k

simple owl
#

ever since mid 2017, the world of crypto have never been the same

twilit quiver
#

after a google search it sounds like cryptoart is art made from the code that is crypto?

#

and like

forest basalt
#

i don't think we're on the same page.

simple owl
#

it's like if people pay a huge amounts of irl arts, but instead of you having it in your house, you get a rare version of it online

twilit quiver
#

probs not, it was a very quick google search

hasty kernel
#

Pretty sure its just regular artwork but associated with a token for the sake of artificial scarcity

simple owl
#

^^^

proud flicker
#

I read somewhere that crypto mining spent more electricity last year than the nation of Argentina

#

possibly Reddit

hasty kernel
#

And Cryptocurrency is less weird when you consider that that is how currency as a whole works

#

Currency has value only because we agree that it does

#

Its entirely arbitrary

proud flicker
#

Fiat money, it's also called.

forest basalt
#

but there is value behind for example USD

#

they don't just print money

proud flicker
#

The value is simply what you deem it is.

twilit quiver
forest basalt
#

they have to have for example 15 dollars of gold

proud flicker
#

As in, what you and the person who you are doing business with agree upon.

forest basalt
#

now there is 15 dollars

hasty kernel
#

And why does gold have value?

forest basalt
#

anne marie

hasty kernel
#

Besides, the majority of US currency isnt backed

#

Most money is "empty" as it were

forest basalt
#

bitcoin is under that concept

proud flicker
#

Yeah I was about to say, USD is not backed by gold, not since forever.

forest basalt
#

example*

twilit quiver
#

like if everyone withdrew their whole bank account from the banks, the banks couldnt give everyone their money cause in truth there is no value. It is just number that we say work that way

proud flicker
#

what you are saying is

forest basalt
#

most money is a number on an atm~~ atm~~ at the moment

proud flicker
#

If I can convince Bill Gates his money is worthless, he will give it to me

twilit quiver
#

likely but you wont convince him nor will he truely have anything to give

#

since he's at that level of rich where the imaginary numbers mean even less

forest basalt
#

what if rich people gave at least 30% of their equity to buy things that actually help.

twilit quiver
#

like money is just so dumb honestly, go back to the trade and barter days i say

forest basalt
#

that's also inefficient though. as most people want more than what they gave. there will still be a societal discrepancy in equity

proud flicker
#

just go full soviet bro, no one has anything.

forest basalt
#

i an't turning into a commie

twilit quiver
#

i already am

twilit quiver
#

in reality the real answer of what it should be is that good and services people need to survive food, housing, healthcare,electricity,clothing shouldn't be bought nor sold it should be given to people so they live while extra stuff like stuff to decorate your home should be the stuff bought

forest basalt
#

but then people have to work to provide these services

#

they need benefits

twilit quiver
#

yeah they should get paid

forest basalt
#

what would you buy?

sinful hedge
#

oh cryptocurrency initially became popular because it is untrackable iirc

#

so its really good if you're buying something sketchy

twilit quiver
#

video games is an example that comes to mind

forest basalt
#

ok

#

i'll work

#

just cause i want to play hades

#

and possibly hades 2

sinful hedge
#

nah we need currency to have order

#

trade is still legal

#

but we need something that EVERY people can agree the standard value of every object

proud flicker
#

I have a bit of social anxiety so I hope we don't go back to bartering. I can't haggle xD

sinful hedge
#

otherwise it would cause a lot of dispute and unregulated prices

twilit quiver
#

standard value is a good point and lines up with my thought on things necessary for life being free

proud flicker
#

Also Attack on Titan new ep @simple owl

simple owl

yup

i started watching aot today actually

simple owl

I just watched it yesterday

twilit quiver

ah aot talk, im out lol

proud flicker

no no stay

#

we can move

#

we should before tatz yells at us

mild pelican
#

with modern trading system idk how to reach standard value for everything

forest basalt
#

why can't kam or peach yell at you?

twilit quiver
#

or wight

mild pelican
#

when someone buys for 30k and sells for 50k

proud flicker
#

oh they do

#

they did lol

forest basalt
#

heh

mild pelican
#

also isn't it ironic

#

how we have a huge reactor million times larger than earth pumping lots of energy into the void

#

but we have to burn chunks of a rock we're living on to get some energy

forest basalt
#

solar panels are expensive

#

i think

twilit quiver
forest basalt
#

don't quote me on that

sinful hedge
#

and there's currently research on making a dyson sphere

twilit quiver
#

im pretty sure they arent expensive but also dont quote me on that

forest basalt
dry stratus
#

dyson? like the vacuum?

sinful hedge
#

its the idea of making a generator that will orbit/cover the sun

forest basalt
#

the moon?

#

no

sinful hedge
#

A Dyson sphere is a hypothetical megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its power output. The concept is a thought experiment that attempts to explain how a spacefaring civilization would meet its energy requirements once those requirements exceed what can be generated from the home planet's resources...

forest basalt
#

earth.

#

yeah that's impossible

sinful hedge
#

its theoretically possible

forest basalt
#

mmmm

#

i don't think so

sinful hedge
#

yes it is

#

the fundamental concept is possible

#

we simply do not have the materials

twilit quiver
#

oh look at that beauty!

sinful hedge
#

maybe if we can do astronomical mining

#

mathematically possible

forest basalt
#

we'd have to deconstruct mars to build that

mild pelican
#

Theoretically if you can get somucn matter somewhete

twilit quiver
#

dont listen to the haters miss dyson sphere! work it!

sinful hedge
#

there are thousands of asteroids out there

mild pelican
#

And enough time and will

sinful hedge
#

but yea with our current civilization its impossible to build

dry stratus
#

well there's a will right here

twilit quiver
#

get to it will

dry stratus
#

tbh the dyson sphere reminds me of a biblical angel

twilit quiver

build the duson spere

hundreds of years made pyramids possible with thousands of slaves

in fact, i think, even one single earth-sized panel can feed so many cryptofarms countries that it won't be nessesary to build that much

but that would be a great way to hide the system from aliens

mild pelican

some of our satirists in the last century suggested some ideas like that

#

like, in theatres people applaud for no reason, let them instead clap the small dynamos

sinful hedge
#

someone in our school made a research on making mats that can convert kinetic energy to electrical energy

#

so we had a mat on our pedestrian crossing for a while to test it out though idk what happened to it since

mild pelican

all the school researches either gets forgotten or used later suggested by the institute with another names on them, usually of the major academics

it restored my interest in anime and now I'm supposed to be watching devilman crybaby but am putting it off for the moment in favor of cobra kai

anyway that's all i'll say here bc off topic in off topic

bronze lintel

Jujutsu Kaisen and Beastars S2 are my fav this season

#

Beastars gave me nightmares >:D

loud garden

an old one, but Durarara is great

dry stratus

I wanna watch beastars so bad

#

the philippines recently came out with an adult furry animated film and i'm so happy gilmanlove

bronze lintel

also an old one, "C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control" is criminally underrated

sinful hedge

Hinamatsuri is also good

bronze lintel

I should watch that again

do you guys know how to turn on static IP?

simple owl
#

do you need to for port forwarding?

flat moat
#

y e s

simple owl
#

first off, test the ip that you want to put by opening cmd and pinging it

#

if it pings and gives you packets this means that it's already used

flat moat
#

how do i ping the ip?

simple owl
#

type ping followed with the ip address that you want

flat moat
#

it gave me packets

#

:0

simple owl
#

the ip that you've entered is currently used

#

type another ip that isn't used

flat moat
#

so put a random number in the last place?

#

and keep pinging

simple owl
#

a random number between 1 and 255

#

for example 192.168.1.29

flat moat
#

iM SHOOK MY NUMBEBRHR

#

Kekekkeke

simple owl
#

huh, change numbers until the ip refuses to ping

#

then you can make it as your static ip

i’ll update when i’ve found one

I wanted to find my lite so I could know where it is for when the physical Hades arrives by the end of the month (cuz shipping)

loud garden
granite salmon

You don’t get some features

W the lite

then the price skyrocketed a month or so after, you know cause the world called timeout

solemn sparrow

ok proxy

granite salmon

Not just talking the actual switch aspect either w the joy cons

granite salmon
#

But some other stuff

loud garden
#

err like 1.5x normal or so

solemn sparrow
#

ah

damn

#

that kinda invalidates the point lol

loud garden

the lite jumped almost 2x retail price

solemn sparrow

I was just saying so because I rarely ever use my switch docked

loud garden
#

crazy times

granite salmon
#

I got both - I know hehe

solemn sparrow
#

I just need my joycons fixed Sadge

granite salmon

I got the lite cuz I couldn’t resist the Pokémon version

You have to work in those hehe

solemn sparrow
granite salmon
#

I remember playing Pokémon & I couldn’t even read anything

#

Or understand anything they wanted me to do in the games

#

Especially during the German game I got - sapphire

solemn sparrow
#

I've played Black 2, X, soul silver, omega ruby, and sun

#

thats all I can remember playing

granite salmon
#

My list is..

#

Long

#

As of now I’ve owned at least 1 core game from each gen hehe

solemn sparrow
#

mmmm

granite salmon

Not always when they came out (looking at you firered)

solemn sparrow

I've also played mystery dungeon

granite salmon

Sometimes fun sometimes not

solemn sparrow

granite salmon

Dash was a struggle

solemn sparrow

I wish I had ranger

granite salmon

I have 3 ranger games

#

Ranger, shadows of almia & guardian signs

granite salmon
#

I love it

#

But I love cute chibi mini things

solemn sparrow
#

but its the closest thing to playing the actual gen 4 games which I never have

granite salmon
#

Oh sad

#

Platinum was best

solemn sparrow
#

like I feel like it regressed so poorly

granite salmon
