I find Yiddish has the 'strong' sound of German, but with the snide-ishness sound of a more Eastern European language, making it fantastic language to sound sarcastic in, as well as to sing in.

Having enough German training to have a good grasp of the pronunciation even if I've forgotten most of the word meanings and sentence structure, hearing Yiddish sounds like hearing really thick tazzie Australian does in English. Or like really broad Yorkshire dialect, or maybe Patwah. Anywhere that's had massive pronunciation drift and weird slang.

Like it's recognizable but really hard to understand, but it sounds good like all those dialects/languages do.

It's the first time I've been able to experience dialect/pronunciation drift in another language and it's great :v:

I guess religion's a lot like nationalism, when you're in a position of marginalization, it can easily go hard left, then if it so happens suddenly you're in a position of domination then the fight begins to stay hard left and shut out any "now it's our turn to do the loving" elements.

when I see the ToryStory stuff I get so incredibly angry to the point where I want to do things that would land me in prison.

I cannot, just cannot, understand the kind of living being that would allow a system to let that happen to humans. I cannot put into proper words the level of negativity that builds inside of me. It renders me inert.

Same. I literally can't read those stories without becoming apoplectic and incredibly sad. So I don't. I already know about most of the kind of things that happen in these stories, and I'm already angry about it. It's bad for my mental health to expose myself to more, and I'm not the one who needs reminding.

Look after yourself. If you are already filled with righteous fury, don't read these stories. You are already fighting for the authors.

Half a dozen people turned up for door knocking in our ward which everyone was quite pleased about seeing as it's before the local campaign launch and the first session we'd done. Bring a torch. Street lighting is absolutely gash for any sort of detail like finding the doorbell or letterbox, reading house numbers, opening gates and not tripping over garden gnomes. Shine it at the ground when they come to the door so at least there's a bit of illumination on you and you don't look so shadowy and threatening. Use a headtorch if you're running the boards. Hold it in your hand if you're talking to folk because otherwise you'll blind them every time you look at their face.
It's OK to go along and provide moral support if you aren't sure about doing talking.
Your board runner will need a weatherwriter or an umbrella holding assistant so that the voter records don't turn into papier mache.
Keep flyers under cover. They get soggy really quickly in the rain and that makes them harder to push through letter boxes.
Your board runner should stagger the houses you visit so teams are not at adjacent doors and talking over each other.
It's rare you'll change someone's mind on the doorstep so don't feel downcast if you haven't. You're there to speak to people about their concerns, awaken some sympathies for labour, turn the sympathisers into supporters and show the supporters that their vote counts.

On a semi related note to that song I'm experiencing yiddish for the first time as opposed to german and having a lot of fun with the linguistic differences.

Much as I like german as a language I'm beginning to think I might like yiddish better. It seems much more... melodic than german. If I was making up a lanugage for singing in I'm not sure I could come up with one that sounds better. The way the words flow into each other sounds so good. It seems like a language based around how people actually speak.

I don't get why people get all fussy about whether it's a "real language" or not. It's fuckin great whatever it is.

I mean, it's not like big boss being alive in 2019 as the leader of the labour party would be any less of a weird plot twist than kojima normally does.

Or, get this, big boss has always been jeremy corbyn and all the metal gear stuff is his cover story.

The real big boss is not running diamond dogs or building outer heaven, the real big boss defected during the virtuous mission and became a mild mannered politician in the UK.

Kojima pivoted hard into "Big Boss is actually good" some time around MGS3 which is why 5 ended up such an incoherent mess, cuz he had to somehow walk the lines of "Big Boss is a war criminal who built an entire nation because he didn't get to kill enough people" and "Big Boss was actually anti-nationalist whose heart was in the right place".

I could rant for hours about how much of a loving mess MGS5 was and why it had no reason to exist.

Yo J-Corbz! I reckon you could give a banger of a speech using the phrase "we are listening!" like you did with "who's side are you on?"

You could talk about society's ills and end each bit with "we are listening!", and then you could say "but don't take just my word for it." Then transition to talking about voting, canvassing, writing to your MP etc as "that is how you make sure that we are listening. Do not accept representatives who refuse to listen!"

Throw in some stuff about worker solidarity and industrial action also being how to make sure politicians are listening, then end with "We are listening! Now go make sure that everyone listens!

A long time ago there was a thing going round the old gamespy forums that claimed there was an old Yiddish expletive zayin ba'ayin or something like that, which was supposed to mean 'a dick in your eye.' I asked a Jewish friend of mine a few* years ago but she said at best it meant 'flesh in your eye.' Never found out the deal with that but 'a dick in your eye' is an absolutely fantastic rejoinder.
