Quimps [he/him]

Not to be the centrist on this one, but I think its possible to acknowledge that he was talking candidly about prior attitudes of his while also acknowledging that he didn’t merely discuss having misplaced anger about a sexual assault, but mentioned walking the streets actively looking to do a hate crime. Like we can talk about personal growth or momentary anger and whatever, but he went out with the explicit desire to do a lynching and not even of the person who had done the crime.

My great grandad was a nazi collaborator, so it could always be worse. Luckily not in any huge capacity. He just got paid as a day laborer to help them build stuff, but it’s still pretty bad.

I know a guy who worked on Alan Wake 2, the guy is a nazi. The DEI criticism of the game is endlessly amusing to me as a result.

It was made to resemble a crocodile but the architect had never seen a crocodile. Let’s be honest about our history.

Sorry I just checked and saw all the demon names (in particular lügner) and was convinced, so i edited just as you posted.

And it’s like… all the names? I don’t think a single name I’ve seen so far isn’t just a random German word

EditQuery solved. They are just German words.

It is kinda neat that pinyin marks the suprasegmental phonemes of Mandarin in a way that’s relatively easy to understand (Tone markers), but pinyin is also very clearly built around Chinese (And it wouldn’t make sense for it not to be).

The problem with universality here is that you’d need not only to include all the different normal phonetic notations, but also all the various modifications like tone, stiff voice, creaky voice, and so on, and have people remember it, only to end up with a system of notation that is highly non phonetic for most users (Unless we just get rid of orthography/spelling) and has like 20 letters or symbols per language that aren’t used (It would of course be differrent parts of the new system you would never use depending on your language). So we’d be back to where we started in some ways, ahead in others, and also taking a step back.

I like Frankenstekn can only look in fear at what I have created.

Normally the D is “Valley girl” mode, except in the name Mads. In almost every other word where the D marks Stød you’ve got the gist. Kinda.
Like, okay, I don’t know if I can trust you with this. But the difference between the word “Dog” (Hund) and the word “She” (Hun) is this glottal stop/vocal fry. There is however also no way to know when a D marks this or when it’s a Th sound or a normal D sound

Danish uses laryngealization as a suprasegmental phoneme.

In other words Danish differentiates between words based on the absence or presence of an intensified “creaky voice” or glottal stop. In other words, whether or not you use an intense vocal fry (For a single vowel sound) changes the meaning of words and sentences. This phenomenon is called “Stød”. We differentiate between a word that has Stød and one that does not with a D (Sometimes). Technically the D is silent, instead marking a modification to another sound we don’t have a letter for. (Or in the case of specifically the word Mads, marking the absence of such a modification)

Edit: it’s like how in English you can change the meaning of a word through stressing a syllable, but it’s vocal fry/glottal stop

The easy answers is that the D modifies the A sound, the full answer involves teaching you about aspects of phonology that Danish shares with like indigenous Mazatec people, podcasters and like nobody else.

It makes total sense not to be able to make the Ø sound (Å is just the O in “go” and Æ is just the E in “Then”). That’s totally understandable. I’m just making a joke about the hypocrisy of my annoyance over Anglos feeling the need to insert totally unnecessary sounds into words, while also doing the same when speaking Greenlandic even after years of practice.

It’s pronounced exactly like the word Mass!!!

I never played this, this seems cool. I got it pretty quickly though since

is one of like 2 movies I’ve watched this year. Although I never guessed the actual name of the song.

American trying to pronounce a Scandinavian word with like 4 letters: Hørglbspørgldørgl.

Dane trying to pronounce a Greenlandic word with like 10: weird hissing sounds and a gulp for some reason

It’s me, I’m that second one. But also the next time I hear an American say the name “Mads” I’m going to commit a felony.

What’s your take on whaling with a knife while singing a 58 verse long song about how much you like killing ala the pilot whale hunters on the Faroe islands?

(I’m very opposed in case anyone is wondering)

The missing fingers definitely says ocean goddess. But the main character has a caring role in which she quite literally grooms (Not in the negative meaning) her sister as a response to outside influence. Which screams angakkoq if we’re looking at ocean goddess imagery. She herself isn’t mutilated, nor does she provide for the town materially.

The dog connection is clever, but I don’t know if she marries a dog in the inupiat version of the tale. Tbh my only knowledge of the tale is as Arnaqquassaaq.

She’s not sedna. If she’s sedna then they needed to ask any of the Inuits on set what was up. At best her treatment of her sister is an analogue to the way the angakkoq cares for the ocean goddess and washes away the filth left by others.

Think standard multi “entrepreneur” grifter.

YES! Finally! A question that I know something about!

Okay so the actual owner of this company (The greenlandic arm anyway) is Ittu Julius Konrad Karl Heinrich Lilliendahl (Yes that is one name, it’s Greenland that’s just how it is) who used to do event coordination stuff (And they’re going out of business because he fucking sucked at it) and runs a taxi cab company. The reason this is being sold as a green initiative is because that way you get certain benefits from the government.
Their argument is twofold 1: They argue this isn’t that bad carbon wise because a lot of shipping containers are empty because of the Greenlandic trading imbalance so this actually makes sense and 2: It’s water you guys, that’s eco stuff
The guy in the picture is a part owner (like 5% or something) who used to (I don’t know if he still does) work as an engineer/handyman/landlord for a company that rents out apartments, does mine engineering consulting and minor construction work called 60 degrees Greenland.
If it gets accepted as a Green transition company it will be done because it’s not a fishing boat. Greenlandic corporations have tried selling mines as part of a green transition, it’s nuts and I hate it.
