Field Mousepad posted:10-15 years ago I said the same thing but poo poo has changed broski Eh, there's a large gap between "I don't share your political views" and "your views (explicitly or implicitly) dehumanize groups of people". Granted, the latter category has gotten a lot larger of late. Or at least louder.

Most people would tell you they couldn’t be friends with a literal nazi. So from there it’s just disagreeing about what degree of horrible you’re willing to accept in your friends.

PittTheElder posted:Do Korean and Japanese just not really do L sounds at all natively? japanese R is mostly an english R with some english L thrown in. ら is "ra", but if you say it like "rah" you'll sound weird, its more like "hra" or "rla". pronounce R and L, noticing where your tongue is in your mouth, then go a little back towards L to get a japanese R

Most people are all for throwing a lot of people including their friends and family under the bus, as in literally get them dead, dying, maimed and suffering, as long as this reduces risk of slight inconvenience or interference with whatever distractions they engage in to stay moderately happy. That is just something that we all have to accept, so we can move on together and get along as a society. e: this isn't the curse thread???????

Cyrano4747 posted:The r/l mixup among non-native English speakers from Asian countries is a real thing. I taught ESL in Korea and it’s one of those things you have to drill people on. Native English speakers have a ton of gently caress ups in other languages for similar reasons involving sounds or sound pairings that aren’t found in English too. IIRC, when you are born, the brain can distinguish over 200 phonemes, but the ones that you don't hear in the first few years wither away and the neurons get subsumed by the 100 or so phonemes that languages typically use. The common one is the lack of 'L' in Asian languages, the ones we don't think about much are the click sounds of many African languages which we westerners have absolutely no hope of even perceiving the differences.

I understand what someone means when they say they are going to throw a person under a bus. But I don't understand the analogy. My boss used this term all the time to illustrate teamwork and team-accountability. We work as a team, no individual needs to be "thrown under the bus." What bus?! Why would we be throwing people into traffic anyway? What is the context for chucking individuals under the wheels of public transportation?

It means sacrificing someone else to save yourself because once a bus runs over one person it is legally required to stop.

Cyrano4747 posted:
In mandarin chinese (not sure about "dialects" like cantonese), L and R are distinct phonemes from one another, so they tend to have an easier time avoiding mixing them up, however, the mandarin R sound is not the same as the english R sound, as the mandarin R is a retroflex consonant. This is the R sound mandarin speakers will first go to when learning english, so that's why their pronunciation of R will sometimes sound strange to english speakers. You can emulate this R sound by putting your tongue in position to say the l in "love", but then moving your tongue slightly away from the roof of your mouth. This is why it's a retroflex consonant as your tongue is flexed backwards. Try comparing the L and R sounds in mandarin here, for example, with the syllables "lan" and "ran" https://www.archchinese.com/chinese_pinyin.html

My boss used this term all the time to illustrate teamwork and team-accountability. We work as a team, no individual needs to be "thrown under the bus." Throwing people under a bus is raucous fun for everyone involved, with the possible exception of the very small minority of people that actually get thrown under the bus, and we all are literal saints for not indulging in this guilty pleasure more often than we really can be considered reasonably entitled to. Or serious answer, it means using denyable murder instead of words to get rid of a problematic ally that you fail to get rid of by other means.

I like the apocryphal origin that it's derived from the "throw a fat man onto the tracks" solution to the trolley problem.

minato posted:Most just don't hear the difference between the L and R, in the same way that many native English speakers can't hear the rolled R in words like "Madrid". Yeah or how people think the V in Latin is pronounced as either the W in Eng. wine or the V in Eng. vine because they've literally never heard (of) approximants.
