It looks like there might be a slight misunderstanding, “e” is pronounced as the e in “metal”, “test”, “wrench”.
We do not use a different sound for it, and it does not rhyme with hey at all :D
Adding the H to some of these letters wouldn’t give the right sound for native english speakers
I think the only one that could be tricky would be the “uh” since it could be confused with the interjection “uhhh”, but as you mentioned, it is indeed pronounced as “oo”.
Also just so you guys know meme is pronounced may-may in spanish.
It’s more like meh-meh, our vowels don’t have additional sounds.
For more accurate pronunciation you can think of Spanish vowels as if they had an ‘h’ at the end.
Ah
Eh
Ih
Oh
Uh
He said he would do something abrupt to literally kill the Argentinian peso as he wants to “dollarize” the country
It must be really messed up seeing all sorts of fucked up content 40+ hours a week
All extremist sides are just everywhere because extremism tends to be the best way for populists to gather votes and attention. Democracy is completely useless when the population is uneducated and cannot choose what’s best for themselves in the long, and even in the short term.
Here in Mexico things are getting wilder every year, people choose influencers and tv/sports stars just because they are famous, the president from 2012-2018 was chosen by a big percent of the population just because he was handsome lol
But now the best selling point is extremism, blaming x because of y since you are a victim but we can do z, z being whatever nonsensical and irresponsible measure that would change things.
I was just seeing the access ramp to the municipality office yesterday and it looked so steep and I just wonder how the hell are you supposed to go up lol
I recommend it a lot, it’s very entertaining for team fights and quick tactics, rather than waiting 20 mins for the fun to begin or waiting for your JG to do something in SR
It’s somewhat better but heavily depends on what you play and how you play it. Empirically, it’s better as now I only find toxic players every 20 games or so, when before it was like 1/2. But I also recommend to just mute everything and everyone and stick to ARAM if you don’t like toxicity.
Most of the time it’s the echo chamber needs that we all have, we want to see opinions that match our own at the top, and opinions that don’t match, at the bottom.
The issue is that social media is very aggressive on the trends. It’s easier for people to formulate a judgement (when the opinion is somewhat ambiguous, or not very strong) when someone else has done the actual judgement for you and upvoted/downvoted.
If votes where not shown at all, the comments would have wildly distinct amounts of support. It’s a pretty fun subject to study to be fair since it affects all of us very strongly so they are not just fake internet points in that sense. People’s days are sometimes dictated by the amount of validation or hate they get from strangers, we’ve been seeing this since Facebook and it will continue getting more relevant as we move more of our daily lives and activities to the digital world.
I saw the article mentioned he had defended the Oct 7 attack so after some googling:
Soon after the 7 October Hamas attack – which killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, with about 240 kidnapped – Alareer caused outrage during a BBC interview by calling it “legitimate and moral” and “exactly like the Warsaw ghetto uprising”, the broadcaster said.
Yikes. Defending oct 7 was pretty fucked up move on his behalf but what Israel keeps doing is arguably worse. Both Hamas and Israel leadership need to be removed from this world…
It’s a very common word in other languages (Spanish) but my brain didn’t even process it correctly the first time I saw it in English lol
HN is a news aggregator where users can find and discuss the latest news and submit content on anything that gratifies one’s intellectual curiosity. YC alumni also post engineering, product, and design jobs on HN.
It has pretty interesting discussions most of the time, the comments are usually very technical, but you can find pretty much the average Lemmy/reddit type of stuff there.
Catholicism spread their regionalized interpretations of Jesus and other important figures, for example the virgin Mary is represented with attributes similar to those of the locals as well as the colors of the country flag.
In Mexico we have the Virgen de Guadalupe, she’s “morenita” (light brownish skin) and she’s wearing a green robe, she has a red aura around her and she’s on a white ish background, similar to the Mexican flag 🇲🇽
In Argentina they have the Virgen de Luján, she’s wearing a light blue robe and her hands suddenly pop out of her robe right in the middle of her body, simulating the structure of the Argentinian flag 🇦🇷
In Venezuela, they have the Virgen de Coromoto, wearing a blue robe, red pants and she’s under a yellow structure, once again, similar to the country flag. 🇻🇪
They used the virgin here as LATAM countries are centered around respect for one’s mother, so normally you can find people calling the virgin as they would their mother, and then you sprinkle the flags colors for further identification.
Isn’t that the plot of Strays?
My gf used to send me AITA posts but she says they have just turned into revenge porn fantasy and it’s boring for her now
I think it’s due to the stereotypes and the bad experiences, I’ve had pretty bad experiences with indians in gaming (racist, annoying, begging) and work (incompetent, corrupt, etc), but I’ve also seen that from other people with different backgrounds, more importantly though is that I’ve also seen some amazing tutorials in YouTube from Indian peeps and I’ve also found some great repos from Indian devs as well.
They had some amazing coupons a few years ago, I remember buying Jedi: Fallen Order for like $4 USD
Some clients have post and comment score across instances visible, see Voyager
By having an upvote / downvote system it already has a censoring and ranking system.
If you look at most threads people downvote dissenting opinions regardless of the quality of their arguments, some instances become echo chambers that way.
You can easily control the narrative by upvoting someone that argues against you, most people will see your comment as
1 upvote 1 downvote
And the person arguing with you as
2 upvotes
Therefore they will be biased to downvote you further and upvote the other person as their social calibration defaults to thinking you are in the wrong as someone else said so already, it’s more economical that way as you won’t really have to do that assessment.
It’s a very interesting phenomenon and I’d like to do some formal testing with it across multiple social media with upvote/downvote functions, but I believe it does censor opinions that do not adhere to the usual feelings of the majority.
First time I hear about that! Haven’t talked with my Colombian friends in a while, but regions are indeed getting stronger differences every day although it is mostly with the marked s, c, g, h, j, r sounds, rarely with the vowels.
Anecdotally, I’ve never met a spanish speaker from any country (Colombia included) that pronounces the “e” as “ey” though, so it’s interesting to think how that can happen. For context, tv and people in general use that pronunciation to mock (in a satirical way) English speakers trying to speak Spanish.
