Idk abt y'all but Wolverine to me is the most random boring-ass x-man. So what if he's got claws coming out of his knuckles? So what if he can heal himself? Only himself?? Why did this man take the spotlight for so long when Storm, a literal goddess, is there? Rogue? Damn, even that one Genoshan whose body is made of pink jelly is more interesting than this cat-turned-man-but-still-behaves-like-a-cat man.

@teacherbuknoy @dopey_kun i agree; he didn’t dominate the OG ’90s series. What i find interesting about Logan is his immortality; dude’s seen shit. He’s absolutely not the most interesting though (Rogue stan for life)

Tonight, I was nearly by an driver who accelerated to pass on the left and make an right turn in front of me as I was going straight ahead through an intersection, coming within 2 feet of my front wheel. No other vehicles on the road. VT plate "PUTNEY".

I have a blinking red and a solid red taillight, a white helmet with a red reflector, reflectors all over. I have a 500 lumen headlamp and 350 lumen flashlight mounted to my handlebars. No way they didn't see me.

When I was a kid, was my least favorite for obvious reasons. He was bossy, clean-cut, and frankly had a boring superpower. But now I'm older, he's turned into my favorite. Cyclops is literally the guy who just wants to keep things together amid all the chaos. Dude just wants to have a family and a normal nine-to-five job without the kids getting in trouble while current events blow up all around him. And I like that his superpower is boring, as boring as "clocking in."

@moonwalkerwiz i . . . actually agree lol. I've always liked his voice too. I'm glad his voice actor didn't change

Why is 'laugh' written with -ugh while it ends with an [f] sound?

It's because the spelling 'laugh' reflects how the word was pronounced in Late Middle English, some 500 years ago.

Click the video to listen to a phonetic reconstruction of how this verb evolved from 3rd-century BC Proto-Germanic to modern-day Standard English.

The Middle English to Early Modern English stages are based on the dialect of the region of London.

@yvanspijk i love this. How does the diacritic for [l] in Old English affect its pronunciation?

faticake,
@faticake@plasmatrap.com avatar

@yvanspijk thanks! Had to go to YouTube to hear more example of voiceless [l]

This new X-Men series has me screaming because how the hell am I supposed to wait for a week for a new episode ​:sadcat:​

moonwalkerwiz, to XMen
@moonwalkerwiz@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

is the only show I'm watching, animated or not, where I'm literally trying to catch my breath the last 10 minutes or so. The original back in the '90s was a quality animated series for sure, but this revival is a totally different beast. Every episode is flat out inspired writing, directing, and animating. This is Emmy Awards stuff. Not even exaggerating. I'd be bummed out if people don't start these discussions, as wild as that sounds.

Crazy how there are Filipinos who still buy skin-whitening products. It's a level of racism that's just so sad because you're being racist against yourself

@teacherbuknoy @luthien1126 @moonwalkerwiz i was recently just talking about this with @mzedp too and how it was practiced in Venezuela as well. There’s a history of colorism all over the world, with paler skin being associated with a higher social status

faticake,
@faticake@plasmatrap.com avatar

@teacherbuknoy @jikodesu totally agree. Kaya nga lang it’s almost always the case that people want paler skin because they see darker skin as less or unattractive, which is wrong. And they don’t even question why they think that way, ingrained mentality na
