  1. Winglepop Needs Your Help!

    Winglepop (Noun) The Art of Knowing UK Children's TV Programs of the 1970s and 80s. When I was around eight years old my father asked me a question which I've never forgotten. He said, "What do you want to do to leave your mark on this world"? It was quite a profound thing to ask an eight year old and of course at that point in time I didn't have an answer. But as the years have passed I've never forgotten it, and as such I've used it to shape me into the person I've become today. I became […]

  6. Speciesism is so embedded within human culture and here are some english language phrases as evidence

    Pig Ignorant
    Gone/Left to the dogs
    Cash Cow
    Headless Chicken
    Sheeple
    Horse-power

    These phrases all show contempt or disregard to the individuality and/or suffering of members of non-human species: think about how you would treat such aphorisms playing off of cultural or racialized stereotypes

    And then there's the dozens of species names that are just straight up insults to call someone.

  10. English is my second language, which I use more than others in the last years, but my formal studies had ended long ago and I navigate mostly by the internalized understanding - close to intuition - rather than by recalling the exact rules.

    In the previous toot I used a phrase "it is important to continue doing X", posted it and started to ruminate if this a sound English construct.

    Isn't it "it is important continuing to do X"? Hm, it doesn't *feel* right, as the first one, but I don't know for sure.

    This and similar cases make me to consult with the english.stackexchange.com (which is more valuable to me than the SO lately), to reinforce (for that phrase) that "intuition" or find out I was wrong.

    "Never stop learning" is fun, but being anxious about everything isn't :)

  12. I'm sorting some music that was named and published in Chinese originally, and ooh boy how all the titles vary depending on the source.

    Starting with the first item in the collection - the first album by the Kelly Chen Wai-lam:
    - in the files it is named "Drunk Sensation"
    - on Wikipedia - "Intoxicated Lover (醉迷情人)"
    - on Discogs simply "醉迷情人"

    - On Google Translate that's "Intoxicating Lover".
    - On deepl with Cantonese - "Drunk On Love" and with Chinese - "Drunken Lover" (also "Drunk In Love" and "Intoxicated Lover"

    I guess I'd follow Discogs and rename all directories into Chinese.
