I cannot stand the parodies of modern major general, they're overdone and simply not as good as the original. They've done them about everything, whatever topic, big or small.

And when i notice one of them my eyes will always start to roll.

The diction's always slurry when they rush the complicated words, and adding many fricatives will turn it so cacophonous. The slanted rhymes are silly and they keep just making more and more, please someone stop the parodies of modern major general.

The scanning of the lyrics in the meter is unbearable, they emphazise the syllables in ways that are untenable, in short in matters musical, prosodic and ephemeral, i cannot stand the parodies of modern major general!

The way to take down the military-industry complex is to meme "soldier" into a submissive porn trope. Right, what is a soldier? It's a very submissive thing, you're trained into being this human weapon by a guy who yells at you. The material is all there you don't have to stretch the truth. You just have to present the truth. How? How to make it not sound like a preachy bleeding heart liberal rant, "the military takes your agency and individuality away and literally owns you", that's not gonna sway a soldier type guy. What does sway him? Sexual insecurities. Imagine a world where soldier porn was on all the sites, soldier/drill sergeant was the most common gay porn pairing, it was ubiquitous. And it was a meme as big as step sibling porn. Everyone on twitter was talking about it. "Sir yes sir" or some shit was like the equivalent of "I'm stuck in the washing machine step bro". Would we see military recruitment go down? You bet we would.

*grabs your hands and speaks to you in a tone that is so gentle* they/them pronouns stop being universal once you learn a person's pronouns. Sometimes that person's pronouns will include they/them and in that specific case you are allowed to keep using those pronouns for that person. In any case where you learn a persons pronouns and that person doesn't use they/them, you should no longer use those pronouns for that person. If you continue to use they/them pronouns knowing that person doesn't use them, you are now misgendering that person. Kindly stop doing that please. Thank you, I love you.

I wonder if the confusion here is from disagreeing about what kind of rule social rules are. Because sometimes, saying "I get it, I'm just not gonna do it" means you actually don't get it.

Like a mathematical rule. If you say "I understand [e.g. distributive law,...], I'm just not gonna do it", I am well within my rights to say that no, you actually don't understand it. If you "don't do it", you aren't doing maths.

Similarly, take the rules of a board game. If you say "I understand that rule, I'm just not gonna follow it", maybe you do understand the rule, but you don't understand the context. You can't just not follow the rules of a game you're playing with other people. No one will want to play with you.

This is how a lot of people view social rules, and in some ways they're right. There are some social/moral/cultural rules that you can't just not follow, even if the only actual consequence is no one wanting to spend time with you.

Most social rules are more like the rules of d&d. If everyone present agrees to ignore them, then great! No pajamas with strangers, but everyone's cool with it in the flat. But if not everyone's happy, you ought to just follow the book.

The issues come when people disagree on how to categorise things. If someone thinks something is a mathematical rule and you think it's a d&d rule, even if you agree on what to do, you might fight about it. If one person thinks something is a d&d rule they want to ignore, but everyone else thinks its a board game rule, just asking to violate it might seem rude.

Autistic people might have more of these conflicts with neurotypical people that they know, but in my experience it isn't any different to a normal culture clash. If person A thinks you can wear anything to church, and person B thinks you have to dress up nice, no one need be neurodivergent. It's just that to person A, the "dress nice for church" rule was a d&d rule that it became commonplace to ignore, while to person B, any church that doesn't dress up is playing a different board game.

[I'm intentionally ignoring the "well the book is bad and by following it you're being bad"-type disagreements. They're both more complicated and context-dependent, and imo also rarer.]

"Today the weather went against my predictions." "Despite my best efforts, the weather wasn't as displeasing as it has been in the past". "The weather was such that it was briefly mentioned when I arrived in the office."

Surely the dominant factor here is the quality of the translation? Like, a professional translator between English and Mandarin almost certainly has "lower entropy" than I would translating between English and French, a language very similar to English that I'm passable in but have no practical experience in beyond general reading and communication

Linguists and multilinguals of Tumblr, I suddenly have a burning desire to know what language-to-language translation has the highest entropy of information; i.e. across what 2 languages does the most true meaning get lost in translation? I know simplified Chinese and English have a fairly high entropy and most latin languages have low entropy between them (I believe? I might be wrong). I'd also love to hear what you have to say about how one thinks in different languages. And also if you could help this question reach larger swaths of the internet through translating this post, it would be a massive help.
