Some people get it, some butcher it. But the glottal stop and the ר (reish) throat thing and ח (chet) sound, if you don't learn it young, week be very hard later
@Mithrandir I have a cousin who was born in Israel, went with family to USA at the age of 5, and arrived at age 25 for two years. Despite going to Ulpan and speaking Hebrew every day, all day (while in Israel), he still sounded as total American. That's just something one can't get rid of, at some point.
These days, meta's main sourness, I reckon, comes not from the most regular folks, but people who's been barely paying attention
They've just picked up on the drama, and it's not so easy they'd let go of it easily.
While more regular folks are mostly done with the shouting and have chosen either of 1. having some slight hope for recovery, or 2. jaded nothing-can-be-done bitterness, 3. a sunken cost fallacy, or 4. mustering up the emotional burden of rationalizing the negativity.
@ShaWiz yes. And no. I am not a director of anything. But I am still an employee, dev on the community team, with a non-zero amount of influence on what is going on. what I wrote was reviewed internally by others and my message is definitely supported.
@ShaWiz not really. At one point someone changed it to always pick on the newest dev, for a while. The scare came from that song starting unexpectedly on a random tab, at full volume in the headphones.
In the New York City subway, I noticed a series of advertisements from a bedding company called Brooklinen. One advertisement had a surprising claim, which I found again on their website:
The average 2-year-old pillow contains 17 species of fungus.
I was a bit skeptical of this, so I did so...
I dunno. Thank God we don't have ubiquitous skin transplant companies. I would not want to know how many thousand species of bacteria are living peacefully on my skin.
I'm trying to understand the logic behind this answer. Why wouldn't a mod want to see the reputation of the OP all the time? And I can only imagine it won't show in very few cases. Is it past my bedtime?
Brian went through all the hassle of coming up with that convoluted piece of logic, so there must be a reason... He knows why so to him it's redundant information whereas we're left scratching our heads...
I don't scratch that long: when something seems to be making absolute sense to someone else, but looks totally bonkers to me, I ask...
two possibilities:
1. very informative answer back and you learn something.
2. Totally bonkers answer back and then it's time to shuffle away backwards while smiling and keeping eye contact and then turn around and run for your life!!!
