@Bonehead Luke 1:38 "'I am the Lord’s servant, Mary answered. 'May your word to me be fulfilled.' Then the angel left her." / Luke 1:46-48 "And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed,"
Does not sound like she didn't know what was going on, or that she didn't consent...
@fishos It is emphatically not common knowledge. I'm reading everyone asserting that such and such governments have backdoors on phones or whatever device, but you're the first person to cite an example. If you have more, I would appreciate you sharing those.
The voiced pharyngeal approximant/fricative [ʕ], though it does compete heavily with the voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative [ɕ]. In the former case I really love the mouth feel, while in the latter case I love how it sounds more than all the other sibilant fricatives. Unfortunately, I am somehow unable to pronounce the former's voiceless version [ħ].
When I'm romanizing my conlangs, I tend to prefer using diacritics over digraphs—e.g., I'd rather write /ʃ/ as than . It gets rid of any possible ambiguity, and makes things a consistent one letter per phoneme. What do you guys think?
It also happens on single click (possibly to make changing the text size easy), and you can also highlight by dragging and it’ll work, but I still like to double click to highlight.
It's rather easy to get modal editing in emacs, such as the famous evil-mode or the less famous but easier to learn and customize modalka, which I use. Note that I'm not a programmer, so I use org-mode and LaTeX editing mostly.
Might I ask where you buy from? I'd like to make the switch, but since I live in another country and get my items here through courier, getting everything I need in one or two packages is significantly cheaper for me.
The United States prevailed on Japan and South Korea on Friday to use their strongest language yet in a joint statement to condemn China’s “dangerous and aggressive actions” in the South China Sea.
If you live in most of Europe or definitely Latin America, yeah, it is so popular it's kind of inconceivable not to use it, or at least hard to imagine. I genuinely don't understand how people in the US communicate.
I've used SMS exactly 3 times in my life, all 10+ years ago. My phone plan doesn't even include SMS anymore. It boggles my mind that people use SMS in the US, and I mean that seriously.
Have you ever played a game and wondered what if you could do something that it doesn’t really allow you to do, for example being able to move around blocks in Minecraft fluidly instead of in sectors, edit the world in Hogwarts legacy with spells, be able to fly in a world like Elden Ring or Elder Scrolls with epic sky...
I'm just done reading The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin, and The Fate of the Tearling immediately before. Starting with the latter, I liked the rest of the series, but disliked the direction it went in this last book; however, it did keep me invested right until the very last word (in the hope that things might take a different turn, admittedly). As for the former, I don't think I have much of an opinion. It just didn't deliver on what I was looking for.
What I'm looking for, incidentally, is quite a specific niche of fantasy stories centered on monarchies with a romantic-in-the-classical-sense portrayal. It's a high I got off The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison, The Curse of Chalion by Lois McMaster Bujold, and the original Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey, and I've been chasing it ever since.
I recently started playing GTAV again and sometimes I’ll get in my car and let the radio stations play while I do house stuff. Favorite stations are the 80s one with Kenny Loggins, and West Coast Classics and Rock Radio.
@Ingrid_Skovgard If you like Ace Attorney, then the recently released love letter to the series called "Attorney of the Arcane" is a great, great next target. The characters are captivating and the gameplay offers a few good twists on the standard formula. It gets pretty hard at the end, but not in a way that you can't solve by just paying close attention to the case. It's gotten several updates since its launch fixing typos and bugs, so the experience should be top-notch now. If you do try it, do tell how it goes.
Would you think of words that you don't know, ending with "phile" as something sexual (or negative)?

In the Microsoft Office certification software that my school uses, in the skill review mode, when I try to highlight something by double clicking the text, it makes the text larger. (autumn.revolt.chat)
