My bisexuality is so latent it’s a secret even to myself.

I do not understand the reference.

It’s certainly better than gerrymandering and literacy tests. I just find it almost impressive.

The Danish government once produced a commercial to encourage voting participation that had two separate explicit sex scenes and a decapitation. The commercial lasted one and a half minute.

Not to be the centrist on this one, but I think its possible to acknowledge that he was talking candidly about prior attitudes of his while also acknowledging that he didn’t merely discuss having misplaced anger about a sexual assault, but mentioned walking the streets actively looking to do a hate crime. Like we can talk about personal growth or momentary anger and whatever, but he went out with the explicit desire to do a lynching and not even of the person who had done the crime.

My great grandad was a nazi collaborator, so it could always be worse. Luckily not in any huge capacity. He just got paid as a day laborer to help them build stuff, but it’s still pretty bad.

Percy Jackson is just an inferior version of “Erik Menneskesøn”. No that doesn’t make sense, but it’s the truth.

I know a guy who worked on Alan Wake 2, the guy is a nazi. The DEI criticism of the game is endlessly amusing to me as a result.

A friend of mine is the only fan of a particular musician (No, really. He’s 99% of his listens on Spotify, almost all views on youtube and the only guy to buy merch). Despite this the musician absolutely refused to perform in the part of the country my friend is from despite being offered.

Anyway the musician released a new song and according to my friend it’s a huge disappointment. Which means this musician has disappointed 100% of his fans.

It was made to resemble a crocodile but the architect had never seen a crocodile. Let’s be honest about our history.

He fails the “didn’t also commit a sex crime” criteria pretty fucking hard

It is kinda neat that pinyin marks the suprasegmental phonemes of Mandarin in a way that’s relatively easy to understand (Tone markers), but pinyin is also very clearly built around Chinese (And it wouldn’t make sense for it not to be).

The problem with universality here is that you’d need not only to include all the different normal phonetic notations, but also all the various modifications like tone, stiff voice, creaky voice, and so on, and have people remember it, only to end up with a system of notation that is highly non phonetic for most users (Unless we just get rid of orthography/spelling) and has like 20 letters or symbols per language that aren’t used (It would of course be differrent parts of the new system you would never use depending on your language). So we’d be back to where we started in some ways, ahead in others, and also taking a step back.

I like Frankenstekn can only look in fear at what I have created.

Normally the D is “Valley girl” mode, except in the name Mads. In almost every other word where the D marks Stød you’ve got the gist. Kinda.
Like, okay, I don’t know if I can trust you with this. But the difference between the word “Dog” (Hund) and the word “She” (Hun) is this glottal stop/vocal fry. There is however also no way to know when a D marks this or when it’s a Th sound or a normal D sound

Danish uses laryngealization as a suprasegmental phoneme.

In other words Danish differentiates between words based on the absence or presence of an intensified “creaky voice” or glottal stop. In other words, whether or not you use an intense vocal fry (For a single vowel sound) changes the meaning of words and sentences. This phenomenon is called “Stød”. We differentiate between a word that has Stød and one that does not with a D (Sometimes). Technically the D is silent, instead marking a modification to another sound we don’t have a letter for. (Or in the case of specifically the word Mads, marking the absence of such a modification)

Edit: it’s like how in English you can change the meaning of a word through stressing a syllable, but it’s vocal fry/glottal stop

The easy answers is that the D modifies the A sound, the full answer involves teaching you about aspects of phonology that Danish shares with like indigenous Mazatec people, podcasters and like nobody else.

It makes total sense not to be able to make the Ø sound (Å is just the O in “go” and Æ is just the E in “Then”). That’s totally understandable. I’m just making a joke about the hypocrisy of my annoyance over Anglos feeling the need to insert totally unnecessary sounds into words, while also doing the same when speaking Greenlandic even after years of practice.

It’s pronounced exactly like the word Mass!!!

I never played this, this seems cool. I got it pretty quickly though since

is one of like 2 movies I’ve watched this year. Although I never guessed the actual name of the song.
