by age 46 you should have a sizable collection of grammar pet peeves (about 50% of which are indicators of aging out of language as it is in common use, even if that common use is stupid as fuck)

i've seen that screenshot from the fox news show about libraries* roll through my feed a few times now, and i keep wondering what they thought the comma was for in "drug-infested, sex dens"


*not reproducing it again because meh

i'm guessing the british government could improve their perceived trustworthiness by a measurable amount if they stopped calling everything they do a "scheme"

it just sounds so sinister and implies ulterior motives!

I recently uploaded two new tracks to my soundcloud, and I've had multiple spammers/scammers reach out to declare their undying love for the tracks and offer their services listing it on all the marketplaces, etc. It really does feel like there's a normalized base level of this sort of thing almost everywhere on the web, like parasites, bacteria and viruses in the environment, just a constant pressure of hopeful little bloodsuckers. Every place needs some sort of immune system against these omnipresent threats (and usually, this is not something the platform does, so in effect they force their users into a defensive posture by default.) It's pretty dire, in my opinion.

ich fand es als kind immer sehr verwirrend, dass "der mensch hat gute nerven" (edit: oder auch "nerven wie stahlseile") das gleiche bedeutet hat wie "der hat keine nerven" (bzw "ein mensch ohne nerven"). aber letztere formulierung habe ich nun schon echt lange nicht mehr gesehen

A pair of pigeons has made its home in the tree in our yard, and when one of them woke me at 6:52 am on a Saturday by screaming (technical term) right in front of my balcony door, I decided to do a little 5 minute craft project. Let's see if the pigeons like it.
on a green crafting mat, a sitting, attentive black cat with bright yellow eyes, made from black paper cut to shape and two circles of yellow paper, with pupils drawn in and some highlights and whiskers quickly drawn in white pencil. the tools used for creating it are also visible along the edges of the image frame - cutter, scissors, tape, pens. it's pretty cute!
what it looks like from the outside of my balcony door, taped to the lower edge from the inside, with a bit of my kitchen in the background, hopefully blurry enough to not catch shit for how i need to tidy up a little
a shot of the silhouette from behind, looking out over the yard, which itself is mostly represented by the yellow house on the other side, but a bit of the tree is visible to the left

as a little update on this, 2 weeks later, it seems to have worked a treat. the pigeons have, probably out of an abundance of caution and alternatives, decided to find a different balcony for early-morning vocalization, and I have not been disturbed in my sleep since.

Da steckt ja ein Horst im Thorsten?!!!

was hat es eigentlich mit diesem phänomen auf sich, dass deutsche schmunzeltwittergroßaccounts (und jetzt vmtl auch welche auf bluesky) sich mit namen und/oder bild englischsprachiger komiker und sitcomfiguren präsentieren? chevy chase, alf, etc.? das macht soweit ich das weiß anderswo niemand...

Das ist sehr wahr, aber *warum* ist das so?
Das was er sagt mit dem komischen Stottern und so ist vielleicht(?) um besser synchron mit der Bildspur zu bleiben, aber für diese Stimme (und Betonung) hab ich wirklich keine Erklärung..
Oder ist das immer der selbe Standardsynchronsprecher der das alles spricht und einfach ne merkwürdige Stimme hat?

@Doomed_Daniel @wayfinder Meine These: Es gibt ca. 10 deutsche Synchronsprecher (klingt jedenfalls immer so) und sie alle haben den gleichen Sprachtrainer.

ich will das eigentlich nicht, aber es geht mir so endlos auf den keks, wie selbstverständlich fast alle leute "scheinbar" statt "anscheinend" verwenden. ich habe so lange versucht, da still zu sein, aber es frisst mich auf. ich will die anschreien! was mich das schon an kraft gekostet hat, mich da zurück zu halten! ich muss vielleicht mal ne phase einlegen, in der ich mich unbeliebt mache und was dazu sage - einfach aus self care. falls ihr davon betroffen seid, nehmt es mir bitte nicht übel. und sagt einfach IMMER "anscheinend", dann seid ihr auf der sicheren seite.

Ist es nicht vielmehr so, dass »scheinbar« beides bedeuten kann und man also immer »scheinbar« sagen muss, um auf der sicheren Seite zu sein?

häh? nein, "scheinbar" heißt ausdrücklich und ausschließlich "nur zum schein", also dass es in wirklichkeit anders ist, als es aussieht. "anscheinend" beschreibt ohne aussage über die tatsächliche lage, wie es von außen wirkt.

a weird thing happened today when i was working with automation curves in ableton live: normally, when i alt-click and drag a curve segment, i can bend it such that it curves toward one of the values of the points that it connects, making a sharp corner at the other end. but somehow, i managed to do something with just alt-clicking and dragging that instead produced an s-shaped curve, that would curve toward both points and have a fixed center point halfway between the two both vertically and horizontally. i have no idea how to replicate it - i managed to do it three times today, but i wasn't able to pinpoint what i did differently, if anything! i googled for the situation, and intriguingly, all i found were people on reddit this happened to, just as baffled as i am, going back several years, and *no solution at all!*

it is very mysterious! people in the comments misunderstand a lot at first, because it's weird to describe, and there are other ways to arrive at these s-curves, but nothing in the manual describes how to access the functionality with just mouse/curve interaction, and no menus.

one person on reddit made a video: https://www.reddit.com/r/ableton/comments/kmacsh/how_did_i_create_this_s_automation_curve_accident/

if anyone has a clue how to replicate the behavior, drop me a line?
