The Warszawa posted:Yeah it's Brazilian Portuguese so that's good. I guess my question would have been more along the lines of "is this blatantly wrong and I'm just too ignorant to know it." The Spanish one is pretty good, I use it because I don't get to speak Spanish much in my day to day life anymore and I would like to practice some. I just did the testing out thing and it looks okay to me, although obviously the spoken parts are pretty bad. But that's just a consequence of it being a robot, I guess. PM me if you have any questions, gosto muito de ensinar! edit: actually I did notice one thing that's not necessarily wrong, but kind of bothers me. They tend to leave off the definite article when using possessives (the robot said "Eu como com minha tia" instead of "Eu como com a minha tia"), but I'm more used to the other way around. Not a big deal though. edit edit: and this one is a big deal: they always seem to use "nós" (we) and the -amos/-emos form rather than "a gente" and the third-person form ("Nós ficamos" vs. "A gente fica"). "Nós" is much more formal, so look out for that. a further edit: affirmative responses to questions are usually phrased as "[conj. verb], sim." For instance, "Você tem um bebê?" "Tenho, sim." The website seems to just do "Sim, tenho um bebê." Badger of Basra fucked around with this message at 02:37 on Aug 5, 2014 |

Just got back from an annual camping trip with a big bunch of people. There's this guy I always look forward to talking to because he's knee-deep in a new, bizarre belief system every time I see him. He has previously held strong beliefs in the Illuminati lizard people, the healing prowess of colloidal silver, and the interference of UFOs in world politics. This year, he's staked out territory in yet another corner of the rich conspiracy tapestry - he is a Free Man on the land, having never signed a contractual agreement to associate with the Canadian government, and he will never ever have to pay taxes again. I'm hardly the first person here to point this out, but it's amazing how some people can just jump from one conspiracy to another, equally bizarre conspiracy like it's nothing. The lizard man conspiracy and the Free Man conspiracy have almost nothing in common on the surface, but there's so much overlap between them! I guess anything's believable once you've bought into lizard people. This guy might be an exceptional case because he's stable in pretty much every other part of his life. A good friend, a great dad, and a successful businessman. But get him talking about anything remotely political and it's a torrent of absurd bullshit.

If the Canadian government is run by lizard people, would a contract even be binding?

SedanChair posted:I still think 12 Years a Slave is a joke movie and was greenlighted for white liberal catharsis Nah, the "white liberal guilt" movie of last year was Dallas Buyers Club. While 12 Years a Slave was no doubt embraced for the reasons you describe, it actually has merits beyond its subject matter. This, along with the fact that its creative team was almost entirely black, is what separates it from awful sentimental crap like The Help. It also probably explains why 12 Years didn't do nearly as well at the box office.

A most cursory google search finds multiple older news items stating that Pelosi is a well-known aficinado of dark chocolate, so the racial implications of that tweet are probably without merit. Edit: Forgot to give a link. Randler fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Aug 5, 2014 |

Happy birthday obongo~R. Mute posted:it's literally tactical realism, you idiot. you get in on the premise that memories can be selectively erased but then you get pissy about how the tech's not made clear and how the loving business model is bad. that's the definition of tactical realism. even worse, it's like you failed to understand even the basics of the film - there's no third of the film dedicated to the technology. it's all a plot device. all of it. if they mention memory erasing, it's meant to drive the actual plot - which is about the relationship between joel and clementine - forward. the question is never 'what if we could erase our memory' it's 'would you?' the third of the film you talk about (which is more like a fifteen minute section at best) is about even if it works, you'll just end up making the same choices again, that we're more than just a collection of memories - that's not meant to be a criticism of the targeted memory erasing process - which does not exist, remember? - it a comment on humanity. The technology could've been the same cardboard box that Calvin uses to travel through time, that's not really the issue. The company doesn't work because it's nonsensical, and not in a way you're supposed to forget about and just roll with like the time travel paradox argument they use in Looper. If that were the case, you wouldn't have the resolution involving Kirsten Dunst taking down the company as an act of revenge, or Elijah Wood using Jim Carrey's stolen memories to creep on his ex. It tries to add legitimacy to the company's dumb premise and undercuts the actual plot by doing so. Or, to put it in terms you might connect with a little better; listen fucktard, if you pulled your head out of your rear end you'd realize that I couldn't give two shits about the fake technology or how many pseudoscience explanations they used to make it work, the main problem is that the company, it's employees, and their pointless B-plot either needed to be shoved further in the background and used solely to frame the story, or more effort should've been taken to make those parts less stupid and nonsensical. Maybe you should go back to Intro To Film when your argument basically boils down to "just turn off your brain and enjoy it"  Also to catch up on the last two pages; the Walking Dead is terrible because every character is unlikable, and Game of Thrones is bad because people treat it like it's somehow better than normal pulp fantasy because they shoved a lot of rape between the dragons and sword fights

Here's hoping more of the former! Boa sorte! I spoke Spanish before I spoke Portuguese, so I know how you feel. I was able to keep them pretty separate in my head, but there's a few vocab things that always get me. Also a few things from Portuguese I wish happened in Spanish.

Everything's supposed to be available to me Al Jazeera really pissed me off when they did this, especially since AJAM's site sucks compared to AJE. The redirect is only on everything before /news in the url, but since they route the server through somewhere outside the US, it takes forever for the page to load. Especially since AJAM is never going to make money. If I'm going to have to tolerate a slave driving theocracy they can at least keep their news site open.
