Re: Venting thread
I feel like I don't find much joy in doing anything anymore. I mostly only engage in my hobbies as a means to relieve my misery. But even now I have too low motivation to engage in my hobbies anymore rather than lay in bed all day sleeping or watching videos. I hope this somehow gets better. Depres...

Re: Survival of Greco-Roman paganism
This makes me wonder, has anyone here read Catherine Nixey's The Darkening Age (I haven't), and if you have, what do you think of it?

Re: A Uyseʔ beetle?
The fact that "ʔ" looks a bit like a question mark makes this thread's title look interesting to me.

Re: AIs gunning for our precious freelancers
It's not really that I disagree with you, jcb, but I kind of wonder who you think you're talking to - someone who approves of outsourcing and union-busting?

Re: English questions
Oddly, neither of the two "incorrect" pronunciations he gives is /ˈn(j)uː.fənd.lənd/. And I have never, ever heard the "incorrect" pronunciation given with /faʊnd/. I haven't heard that one, but until very recently, I would have assumed it was the "right" one, based on...

Re: AIs gunning for our precious freelancers
Ultimately this resulted in zeptoforth, which gave me added satisfaction when it started being used by other people, which also gave me something that I had never had before -- a sense that there were people who used and benefited from my work instead of the loneliness of developing things no one e...

Re: "Experiencer"
I'd say there should be a distinction between a naturalistic conlang and a naturalistic conlang grammar.

Re: AIs gunning for our precious freelancers
I don't think being generally critical of technology makes you a Nazi, but I still fundamentally disagree with general hostility towards technology. I think that the technological developments of the last 300 years have, all in all, been great for humankind. I wouldn't want to live in a world where ...

Re: Happy things thread!
Big news on my side: I’m going to Paris! Specifically, for the Université Paris-Saclay, where I’ve organised to do a research internship for four months. I may have mentioned this once or twice already, but now I have my visa and it looks like everything’s confirmed, which is nice. Of course, I’m m...
