People Often Talk About How AI Makes Small Choices That A Human Would Never Make If They Were Drawing

I think there's horror media that's really similar to this, where the character is 'guilty' of something but from an external perspective it was not really bad. In the story, it makes their situation feel more inevitable and helpless

I think a fun revivalist genre would be like, overbearingly didact medieval morality plays but with absolutely incomprehensible morals. like here's a heavy-handed fable about how if you use the past tense too many times while talking to your nieces, all of your milk will spoil

Beginning sentences with "And" is a reference to Biblical Hebrew. It was used by the translators of the King James Bible because they wanted to preserve Hebrew grammatical patterns. It is unlike Latin-based grammatical rules. There's no reason not to begin sentences like this. After all, the King James Bible is very beautiful writing.

I wonder if any English-speakers began sentences with "and" before the influence of Bible translations?

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

This is weird, but "Tong Nao" is actually a pretty accurate Chinese pronunciation of the name. The game is called "Tonnou" in Japanese, and the characters would be read as "Dongnao" in Mandarin. It seems like the publishers of this game picked a strange hybrid romanization meant to look as exotic as possible, that mixes aspects of Japanese and Chinese. I don't blame this person for trying to pronounce it as if it was Chinese.

obviously a lot of ink has been spilled on how prefacing statements with "I'm not even gonna TRY to pronounce that!" is way worse than just. trying and getting it wrong

but what really bothers me is when people mispronounce something very badly even though it's written using a phonetic alphabet

needs no commentary to be appreciated

this is a photo of Guarino Guarini's church, Santissima Annunziata dei Teatini, before it was destroyed by the Messina earthquake in 1908.

Because the image has colour, it's interesting to pretend it's current day but just blurry. It looks like something you could encounter in your daily life

make ugly art. NOWWWW

a really stupid post was here earlier, but now its gone... I hope it returns so I can say negative things about it

this implies that the redditor in question thinks only the Bach-style wigs are stupid and the Mozart-style wigs are actually cool

later i saw a post on reddit that said “the difference between baroque and classical music is whether it was composed by someone wearing a stupid wig”
