Overheard: "an אנגלו-סקסונית is someone with really weird ideas about religion"

Vance certainly didn't offer any evidence for his assertions, according to TFA.

Unless it be one of the functors from Mathematics Made Difficult (1971) I shall have to ask my kith for counsel...

I'm pretty sure Tarantino (sharing the culture in which I was steeped) meant to be confrontational, but probably the rest of the audience, being blissfully unaware of things "everyone knows" you're not supposed to actually say, thought expressive more than transgressive.

FWIW it was "Hateful 8" (2015), so I don't think the old country has shifted out from under me — unless it's either all been in the last decade, or younger audiences there are also not nervously laughing? Guess I'll have to make some inquiries...

Nervous laughter, as in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That%27s_Not_Funny,_That%27s_S...

Yeah, the scaling is very unfortunate; maybe if AI puts everyone out of work we'll have enough teachers? (that's a joke: my understanding is that there's a knee at a 1:12 ratio that may not be as good as an Oxbridge 1:2 but certainly would've improved upon the 1:30+ classrooms of my youth)

Were you also fortunate enough to have Alisa Seleznyova in your classes, or was that part of general ed? Where I went to school, I had to rely on MAD magazine for propanal instruction! (subscription thankfully provided by the same parents who'd ensured my basic literacy before entrusting me to K-12)

Maybe, or maybe ICE-as-ding-wie-scheint (& Donroe?) is just a sign that the descendants of Operation Condor supporters have started preparing to act domestically as well as in the near abroad?

I wasn't sure if Stefan-chan had found the no-longer-heim-weh too painful, or if he'd been suddenly confronted somehow with BR not necessarily being as new-world as it had appeared when he was fresh-off-the-boat, so I'm glad Mann went with the former interpretation. (and, for people who were raised on greek and latin examples, trolling from beyond the EXIT would've been nothing unusual?)

Oh, that national anthem; I'd been expecting a rousing choral rendition of "Ya na perekure; idi na khuy"

Maybe Mr. Bragg just holds that anyone who believes in checking the sound for a gent, must surely be embedded deep in the establishment?

(he had big ensembles)

Just tangentially, I wonder to what degree big ensembles help/hurt with getting touring visas? For instance, it's my understanding that the Red Army Choir didn't have much trouble getting US visas, but Billy Bragg did.

Ah trolling gone right (at least as long as I'm an HN orator instead of laborator?)

I'd originally heard it as "M— Ä— Heu?", which sounds even less like the source language, but invites the pedantically accurate reply that no one mows hay: one mows grass.

"Beg to report, sir," said Schweik innocently, "I can't be called upon to zombie properly to-day, as they were all out of B R A I N S in the K.u.K. canteen this morning."

(It's somewhat interesting reading a heavily bowdlerised translation of Hasek after having read Zweig; for instance, I know enough about the sorts of young women who provided —for a modest fee— photos to their fans to make an educated guess as to the suitability of Lt Lukash' album for mixed company)

"Teach in small groups."

this advice sounds like it could fix many, many other issues as well?

In particular, 6-letter long function names may have been convenient on mainframes that used 6-bit alphanumerics in 36-bit words, the 36-bits having been backward compatible with 10-decimal-digit electromechanical calculators.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/36-bit_computing#History

EDIT: I had thought 10 digits of precision were required for certain calculations, but the WP article points out that they may have just corresponded to the operators having had 10 digits on 2 hands, in which case we're being backwards compatible with Hox genes, specifically Hoxd, and tetrapod pentadactyly is backwards compatible to hundreds of millions of years:

From a contemporary viewpoint, Berkeley seems to have been a bit of an edgelord in his defense of faith: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appeal_to_the_stone#Origin

(or am I doing him an injustice and he was running with the whole Cartesian Demon thing to see just how far he could take it?)

I'd always kind of imagined the reactionary geometers were defending an order in which their tools were imperfect finite approximations that yielded insights into perfect infinite truths, where the original sin of the revolutionary analysts was in saying that "yes, and with compactness and continuity, many of these problems have their α-and-ω in finite descriptions".

Is that a fair take? Would it be one, even if it were ahistorical?

...these areas of knowledge were much more intertwined with philosophy and religion...

Indeed, consider Laplace to Napoleon "I had no need of that hypothesis", ca 1799.

Diogenes' also!

(but I must admit I see a bit of a jump in the reasoning at:

— ὅτι τοῖς μὲν οἰκείοις καὶ γνωρίμοις ἥμερος, τοῖς δὲ ἀλλοτρίοις τοὐναντίον.

— πάνυ μὲν οὖν.

— καὶ μὴν ἥ γε τοῦ φιλοσόφου φύσις οὐκ ἄλλοσε τρέψεται. ἀλλὰ ὡς πρὸς τοὺς μὲν οἰκείους γνωρίμους τ᾽ ἄρα ἡμῖν, τοῖς δὲ ἀγνῶτας ἀλλοτρίους, τῷ ἀγνοεῖν τε καὶ γιγνώσκειν διοριεῖται. )

Do you have any Buxton'ish theories for ameliorating the mid-trust levels of your home country? I must also admit my original project was to come here to figure out what needed changing the Old Country, but kind of lost enthusiasm for that project after deciding early childhood education in the culture seemed to be key...

Trolling*-wise, I wonder if there's a cousin of the "Almost Politically Correct Redneck", an "Accidentally Woke Reactionary" perhaps?

(No, I don't get any memes via RSS. It'd be grand, though. Imgur post-acquisition [and for all I know, even pre? I had devtools turned on one day when I visited, and never went back...] is a tracking hellhole)

Yeah, the way I heard the story is the dutch were too tolerant: the Puritans couldn't stand the idea of their kids growing up with such examples around, so they upped sticks and headed off to wander in the wilderness...

Back during the first "America First", there was a series of satire videos titled "America First ${COUNTRY} Second".

They're somewhat dated now, but still informative if you're curious about the rest of the world.

"Netherlands Second" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-xxis7hDOE was I believe the first second, but not only other european countries but many others globally (as well as a few regions and fictional countries) eventually produced one, easily found on YT.

Hmmm... have to mix up Plato's Republic and its Guardians, De-Shizoku'd De-Samuraied lefty anime, and JJ's political (but not commercial) syndrome.

White vs blue collar cleavages can be pretty clear cut: do you shower before or after going to work? do you wash hands before or after using a urinal? etc.

(on TFA, are "pink collar" occupations particularly impacted by AI? I'd think nurses would actually be pro-AI, as their memes involve hospitals believing paperwork to be more important than patient work...)
