#Oriental language

[atthebell]

i am very happy about all the posts circulating about being aware of cultural differences and i think it makes a lot of sense considering none of these streamers will speak english and will have very different cultural touchstones but it is kind of funny to me how little people discussed this previously when we already did have incredibly different cultural communication styles and contexts on the server like. the amount of times things have had to be explained or people have gotten pissed off because someone was "too loud"/"too aggressive"/"too indirect" or whatever is kind of ridiculous.

like again im very glad and i hope this means they're continuing to learn and see what does and doesn't work however from the fandom side of things im seeing people rb things and im like okay so when it's east vs. west that's easy for you to understand that there's differences but when it's europe vs. latam it's not. interesting. wonder if rampant orientalism has anything to do with that.

anyway im not trying to be like a self-righteous dick about this and i want people to be kind and think the best of people without leaping to conclusions i just wish people had given more grace in previous situations of conflicting cultural elements and i hope everyone is better going forward

#bell.txt #sorry im like really passionate about intercultural communication and i feel like ive seen people be morons for months now #and i do think orientalism plays a role in how people talk about these kinds of cultural differences #so to me it feels a little :/ that people are like warning each other so ardently rn versus previous language groups #like im not trying to downplay how difficult the lack of a shared language will make things #but i think that's not the only thing at play

okay but the fact that there’s over 150k people from around the world watching qsmp right now is really cool

#like this is so awesome #with popular streamers you can assume there’s viewers from around the world but all the different languages #!! #and the fact that its not just oriented at english #its just real cool #qsmp #qsmp liveblog #twig speaks

If I made a playlist where a ton of people could add songs in their native language, would that be something people are interested in?

rainy days

#mega man x #xzero #mmx x #mmx zero #megaman #zerox #the second i came home today drenched in rain i knew i had to whip this out #theyre waterproof and the umbrella id honestly more inconvienent but zero knows X likes stuff like this #human stuff you could say. but i feel that implies X wants to be human and i dont agree with thet #more that hes just naturally curious and would want to have the experience of sharing an umbrella #i imagine zero thought of the idea to use an umbrella with him fully on his own #like he just kind of put two and two together. which is one of Xs favorite things abt him #zero is very observant and action oriented but after getting to know X he uses his perception primarily just to make X as happy as he can #zeros love language is acts of service in my HUMBLE OPINION. #i could go on. #>mine_>art

Question regarding languages: Python & C#

Is it possible to learn both languages at the same time? Or will it be easy to get confused between the two? I thought I would come to the lovely codeblr people who have a vast amount of experience for advice. C# is something I *want* to learn, but I *have* to learn Python for for my course that starts in January...I just want to see if it is plausible to learn both at the same time or if it will mess up my learning if I try and learn both. I'd love to hear about your experiences and what your first languages were when you first started out in the world of coding!!

Freenoodles? (they are so important to me)

FREENOODLES IS ICONIC. Such an old married couple, who doesn't love them. "I've devoted my life to this man" you sure have dude

#they love and support each other. yet they do NOT stop bickering #and they like...have totally different love languages me thinks #Pigsy likes quality time and acts of service while Tang is much more gift/ words of affirmation oriented #To me they are like...''imperfect people are worth fighting for'' the ship. #Like they both have their flaws and annoy each other in plenty of ways but when it comes down to it they are there for each other #In the past their relationship was a lot more rocky than it is now I'd say. The events of the show strengthened their relationship #Especially in 2x04. OMG Tang you were there for Pigsy when it mattered the most!! #Also I love 2x04 and 4x04 parallels #lmk #lego monkie kid #freenoodles #shipping bingo #asks

one of these days i'm going to write up all that i've changed from azzarello's bullshit era and the one (1) piece i've kept from milligan (and also changed) and the only thing currently stopping me is that it is going to be so, so inside-baseball incomprehensible. and i almost never want to go reading/screencapping azzarello and milligan to add references but i Want to add references.

canon is goop, just know that we continue to ride the bus down "hellblazer ended at #250 and looks like swiss cheese before that" street.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #i'm doing page maintenance before i fuck off to work rip it's got me thinking #anyway i think i said WAY back on this blog that a side goal of mine is to make hellblazer lore accessible to non-comic readers where i can #bc it's such a Heavy comic & i love it so much & i always felt Terrible recommending it to people only for them to be disgusted #and like. @ past me that particular goal is NOT as easy as you thought it would be lmao #esp because i have a habit of getting VERY detail-oriented when it comes to talking about hellblazer i think #but by GOD it's still a goal. i can put in some motherfucking references here and there when i talk about The Lore #like. azzarello's writing style never translates well for me in synopsis bc he Loves to put the audience in the outside perspective #where we are bystanders/with the rest of the bystanders to constantine's actions and not to his motivations/inner monologue #and i HATE that. hellblazer has ALWAYS been about what this guy has going on underneath the masked exterior #all the things you can't say out loud when you're queer and working class trying to survive in 70s-80s-90s england #but that you FEEL with your WHOLE fucking chest. how that feeling drives you to enjoy little rebellions wherever you can get them #(also azzarello just fucking Sucks LMAO but i'm talking style rn) #so i end up relying on frusin's art to tell the story a little more bc i think he understands the Theatre of constantine's public persona #and when that theatre is Absent then it's really REALLY noticeable. so frusin keeps me in it most of the time #and if i'm digging into frusin art then i'm Going to want to compare it to older panels bc i like body language consistency #milligan on the other hand has NOTHING to save his sorry ass bc his writing is drop-jaw fucking terrible AND the artist seems to like it #but the loss of john's thumb being tied to his mental health (ignoring the bullshit with shade) has always felt. important to me somehow id #anyway MUCH thinking about my favorite loser on this about-to-be-annoying day shdjksd he has been done so dirty #hellblazer brain go brrrr

hot take but i think we should hunt people like this for sport

#lots to unpack here but the username especially is making me want to commit acts of violence #did not watch the video but i do not want to because ive stopped giving these people the benefit of the doubt #its almost always asian people #sometimes africans #never other white people #cuz if some american goes to europe and starts speaking other languages no one cares cuz thats what EVERYONE DOES #EVERYONE SPEAKS LIKE THREE LANGUAGES MINIMUM #no its always IM CRACKING THE MYSTERIES OF THE ORIENT #IM UNLOCKING THEIR ANCIENT SECRETS #IM FORCIBLY INVADING THEIR SPACES AND RECORDING STRANGERS FOR VIEWS TO MAKE ME LOOK COOL

“I have conversed both [in India] and at home with men distinguished by their proficiency in the Eastern tongues... I have never found one among them who could deny that a single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia. Honours might be roughly even in works of the imagination, such as poetry, but when we pass from works of imagination to works in which facts are recorded, and general principles investigated, the superiority of the Europeans becomes absolutely immeasurable."

– Thomas Babington Macaulay in his 1835 “Minute Upon Indian Education”.

This quote by Thomas Macaulay lives in my head rent-free. I think it perfectly summarizes the nasty Eurocentric impact of the British Empire on past and current perceptions of language and culture. The conclusion that what is native to the lands they colonized is fundamentally inferior is a view that is still rampant, overtly or subtly, everywhere.

Blacks. ሻንቅላ Šanqəlla. Ethnic term. A pejorative ethnic term used by highland Ethiopians for various ethnic groups living west of the historical Ethiopian kingdom’s border. Such peoples were held in contempt by highland Ethiopians—Christians and Muslims alike—because of their traditional religion, different cultures, Nilo-Saharan rather than Semitic languages, and physical appearance, including a darker complexion. Since the Christian highlanders frequently raided these groups for slaves, the lowlanders’ given ethnic name became synonymous with “slave” itself. The highlanders, of which WP was a member, saw themselves as “red” and the Šanqəlla as “black.” We have chosen not to use the word Šanqəlla, which is now considered very pejorative, but to use the term “Blacks,” which suggests to readers familiar with the American history of slavery that the group was considered lesser and enslavable. In older European texts about Ethiopia, orientalists often glossed the term “Shanqalla” as “Negroid.” The term is not to be confused with barya, which is a different racialized term for slaves. See Smidt (2010b).

Think I'm gonna set it as an official goal for myself to move to the other side of the Atlantic within now and 5-8 years. This has been on my mind since I was a kid - but life is pulling me in the directions again in ways. Also, I feel kinda lonesome in Europe, these generally are not my people and it feels like I'm stuck in a hamlet on some days. sure, I could opt for living in a big European city: Berlin, London, Paris, Barcelona. But idk if that would make the cut. There is something about North-America that draws me in, and always had.

It all feels very idealistic still. But I'd been orientating on immigration procedures to either Canada or the US. I want to take this very slow, because I have a dog here, but also because getting an immigration visa / foreign passport in either one of those places will be a very time-consuming and troubling process. And I want to make sure it's all mapped out rationally and well.

First step is finetuning my English. I've been making progress in that lately, happily. then building a solid American network thru temporary work in either Canada or the US. I plan to do the latter in 1-3 years from now. I'm excited to see where this will bring me :)

#personal #this one is big #but well thought-through. lots of orientating and informing myself currently. also on which country has easier access to me as a foreigner #I can't stay here in dreary and narrow-minded smol Holland. it'll kill the spirit : ) I crave more space + more social life + more adventur #Alternatively I wanna live in a big european city as aforementioned - #But in that case you'll always have the european nano culture clash (language/cultural identity) sadly #*adventure #gotta find out how to turn myself into a maximum value-adder to the north-american job market lol - #but I think of embassy jobs within the communications field :)

Should I actually make meaningful posts? Like maybe a few series of computer science related topics?

I would have to contemplate format, but I would take suggestions for topics, try and compile learning resources, subtopics to learn and practice problems

haateeee that in high school science classes they dont introduce you to like. the greek alphabet. bc i just found out (2 days before the exam) that ive been writing phi when i shouldve been writing ro in a formula. like. my contact w the greek alphabet is none. they just expect us to know these things bro😭

#im completely fine w using the greek alphabet in formulas. the language nerd in me loves it. but im not enough of a language nerd #to double check formulas and what the teachers say tbh #anyways like its not /that/ much of a big deal i guess. but it IS. TO ME #at the same time tho. it is bc i can easily confuse (and i have) pressure (ro) with other variables (for now i use phi (that i know of) #in electricity. so im safe from confusing it w pressure) #but id been writing the formula w ro and everything......😭 #anyways please bring back latin and ancient greek as mandatory classes for sciences. AT LEAST the biology sciences #would be nice for technology sciences too (in high school) but i think #that most that most eng degrees (except for mine and maybe forestry which are more bio oriented) dont use that much latin and greek #EITHER WAY tho it wouldve been cool to know at least the basics... do u know how much knowing latin helps in botany (a class which ive had) #like my mom that know both latin and botany just tells me 'yeah this plant is called 'whatever alba' bc its white #LIKE I JUST WANT THE BASICS!!!!! #z xarre

The fact that both Kon and Kyle like Nine Inch Nails is driving me INSANE. Nothing says soulmates like sharing music taste

#It’s driving me insane because I can’t stop thinking about that one panel from #I think it was sb 46? 47? POSSIBLY gl? #Where Kyle was like ‘he’s just like me at that age’ #they make me ill #Especially with how music oriented Kon is #him and Kyle sharing music is so #Ugh #It’s a love language #konkyle brainrot is strong
