most people i know (undergrad linguistics) seem pretty anti-AI, but that might just be the people i know, and those are also largely the people who seem to have more of an interest in linguistics. it’s also possible there’s some effect of it just being kind of bad for a fair amount of the sorts of things we need to do (at least when i played around with it maybe a year ago it was pretty bad at dealing with sound changes for example)
just need to find mildly fulfilling stuff to do (now that the arabic obsession has worn off) while i’m stuck at home an ocean away from my girlfriend and other people i knew without a job or uni stuff to do because i was an idiot and did an anorexia (again) last semester
i know i don’t and i’m pretty sure a lot (most?) of the people i know don’t either, but then again i don’t think my degree has amazing job prospects (so it seems to be largely people interested it) and it also doesn’t cost american sums of money, so maybe that doesn’t say that much.
I think i generally agree with this, although this seems like it basically removes the need to actually look for sources yourself, which feels like it’s an important thing to learn to do. That said i don’t think i have a better idea so
i mean he’s been hugely influential in linguistics and it’d be dumb to pretend he hasn’t made contributions of value, but it’s fun to dunk on him and there’s definitely a fair bit that’s somewhat controversial and that i disagree with
you hate chomsky for his political opinions, i hate chomsky for his linguistics opinions (and also his political opinions). we are not the same
and then alcohol ended up getting loaned back into arabic as (al-)kuḥūl
Can’t say I’m especially knowledgeable on anxiety disorders or PTSD but it does feel unlikely. Anxiety isn’t really something I think I feel a whole lot of, with it being infrequent and generally low-intensity when I do experience it. Also it feels noticeably different to what I was thinking about here, which I guess feels more rawly emotional.
it is a frequently occurring emotional response
Idk if I even have adhd, but i feel like i have experiences that sound a lot like your description, but which feel like they vary a lot in frequency. Like last year there were a couple months when it felt almost constant, happening at least a couple times a week, but that feels very much like the exception and outside of that it’s quite occasional, with a month or longer passing between occurences, so idk if maybe it’s something else or just completely normal but yeah
Really not beating the supporting Nazis allegations with this
I like how the image captions still refer to the balloon as “possibly on an espionage mission” and “the suspected Chinese surveillance balloon” lmao
Yeah but this means I have to have a creature to benefit the most from it and I hate creatures
Just want to say that Arabic is such a fucking cool language I love it. Definitely making me regret having posted cring until now by only studying European Indo-European languages. Also to my neighbours, I hope you enjoy hearing me practise my emphatic consonants and ع while you are trying to sleep lmao
I’ve been putting off finally deleting my account for good for a while now but this would actually be it because it’s 100% unusable on the redesign
I’m T4T so I’m pretty sure being a communist increases my odds of getting a date actually
I’ve seen literally one of those shows lol, definitely know the feeling
I feel like there’s something uniquely cringe about the way redditors seem to love more than anything to invoke the names of the fallacies. Like if someone’s argument isn’t sound it’s totally reasonable to point that out, but the redditbrain seems to only care about naming the fallacy rather than actually doing that. Of course there’s also just the fact they’re just wrong a lot of the time. Like yeah for sure believing in cause and effect is definitely a slippery slope fallacy you got me
Ackchyually eating the rich is vegan
yeah i’ve definitely seen some of that on tiktok, and it kinda gives the vibes of that trend a couple years back where people would just say something racist and then put some old white person emoji and apparently that made it really funny (sometimes people would even just do it unprompted in the comments of a video that happened to have a black person in it)
