Phy posted:I wish I could be there the first time you just rip that little triangle flap right off A friend of mine was traveling and he visited a goth club that'd been recommended to him, but when he arrived he was pretty underwhelmed. Hardly any people, music was pretty quiet, not much of a vibe at all. He hung around for an hour and danced a little bit and then was getting ready to leave when he spotted someone step out of a door in the back wall he hadn't noticed. He poked his head in and found a massive nightclub in there, it turned out he'd been standing in the foyer all that time. Similar vibe.

I took a wrong turn at a bar I'd been to dozens of times, when coming out of the john. Turns out there was a giant nightclub at the back, with a loving SAAB 99 in there.

Did you know that in several ancient European cultures it was forbidden to say the word for bear lest saying its name attract the beast and kill everyone? I wish that actually worked, specifically for every poster on this page

To the point that the English word for bear doesn't, etymologically, mean "bear". It comes from the word for brown. The original word is lost.

The proto-indo-european word means "destroyer", so in a sense there was never a word that just meant "bear" in the abstract. Though I wonder what would happen if you applied all the sound shifts (Grimm's law etc) to *h₂r̥tḱós

You'd get Arctos, the root word of 'Arctic' meaning 'bears are here' and a likely candidate for the 'lost word' per an article I read once and half remember.

That's basically the Greek word, though. I should have said Germanic sound shifts (to get English, Scandinavian, etc), it should evolve differently in Germanic areas, no?

Bear with me, but I just realized that Outer Worlds and Outer Wilds are two different games. For a couple years now I couldn't figure out why people were talking about the same game with wildly different gameplay.

Outer Wilds is groundhog day in space. Outer Worlds is an Obsidian RPG in space.

The lead writer of Outer Wilds then went on to be a narrative designer on a few of the DLCs for Outer Worlds, just to make it a little bit more confusing.

Outer Wilds is the one that starts in the wilderness. The Outer Worlds is the one that starts with "The".

I think somebody discussed it briefly here on SA not too long ago as well. Maybe even in this thread! https://charlierussellbears.com/LinguisticArchaeology.html quote:The Latin word for bear is "ursus", from which is derived the name for the constellation Ursa Major (Big Dipper), and the English adjective "ursine", meaning "bear-like". The French word for bear, "ours", is derived from the Latin. The ancient Greek word for bear is "arktos", from which is derived the star name "Arcturus", meaning "guardian of the bear" (from its position behind the tail of the bear constellation Ursa Major), and the adjective and noun "arctic", meaning "north", again a reference to the northern constellation of the bear. The Sanskrit word for bear is "rkshas" (in ASCII transliteration; the "r" being pronounced more like a vowel than a consonant). Old Celtic had a similar bear word (*arto-), from which the Welsh word "arth" and the name "Arthur" are derived.

I just now realized that since Americans say dog breeds and not dog races, you might've been missing a key part to why other people get so upset about using the word race for people. Do most people globally know that there's common history between racism, eugenics, dog breeding and the word race? I'm a bit shuck now
