Torn from the headlines…

I got your vowel movement here:

Sweet potatoes and yams are different things.

I’m approximately 99.44% positive that at no point would “Liu” be pronounced as “Lu” in any dialect of Chinese.

Seeing as they already have the perfectly cromulent “Lu” available for that sound.

Romanizations are by definition sound-based, unlike characters.

Have your +1 you hateful bastard.

How is it pronounced there?

… It does?

How is that name pronounced in the west? Here it would be pronounced something kinda/sorta like “LEE-OWE KAHNG” Each one syllable (the first being a diphthong). The latter syllable is difficult to transcribe into an English word. I can’t think of a word in English that has that vowel sound precisely, but it’s basically the “a” in “father”, not in “cask”.

(Now be glad I didn’t explain Laura Luo’s family name…)

I don’t get it.

You have committed the grave error of credibility by getting the most obvious and trivially checked facts of something (a name) wrong.

I think you’ll find the “reeducation camp” is called a “school” in common English. If you want to go for the melodramatic name, however, no skin off my nose.

Who the Hell is Xi Xinping?

… Really? Please explain.

It’s not “Distance Raptor” or “Time Raptor” or even “Veloci Raptor”. It’s Distanceraptor. All one word. Or Timeraptor or Velociraptor.

I mean otherwise it would be:

Distanceraptor

Timeraptor

And that leaves us with:

Dstanc

Tm

Take your upvote, you horrible bastard!

Jesus say: Blessed are they who honour the wise of every nation, and make not mockery in their name: for they shall inherit respect among all peoples.

My dad once picked up a beautiful hitchhiker. In the course of the drive she claimed to be a witch who could turn him into anything she wanted. My father, being very skeptical, asked her to prove it. She whispered some magic words in his ear and, sure enough, he turned into a motel.

Seth who now?

Believe it. There’s a single community in the Lemmyverse that is “women only”. And it’s a fucking magnet for passing men who absolutely have to make sure they’re heard in this one single community when 99.44% of the other communities are so dominated by men that women participating is practically a unicorn.

Even the “leftists” of Lemmy can’t stand a women’s space. Lemmy is the manosphere!

What are men problems, huh? Like, dunno, expectation to always go after that false masculinity.

And you think we don’t have expectations foisted on us? Expectation to raise the children. Expectation to do the housework. All while conforming to standards of beauty that range from the uncomfortable to the literally lethal.

Compassionate fucking Buddha, there’s a reason why the manosphere is pointed at in disbelief and it’s right fucking here!
