#we arent full 1984 yet

[motorclit]

A particular r*ght-w*nger (l*bs of t*k t*k) is going after the furry community now.

I'm legit waiting for the suggested criminalization of having a favorite color or favorite dinosaur. I'm legit waiting for imagination and fun to be brought to the chopping block with plain, clear intention that nobody should be happy unless you're obscenely wealthy.

You like laughing and the laugh isn't socially acceptable? Ban it.

Do you enjoy cartoons and other forms of fun art? Ban it.

Do you dance anything but a stupid square dance? Ban.

Caring for houseplants or cats? Straight to ban.

Don't let them catch you playing a musical instrument.

Don't let them catch you wearing alternative clothing (especially DIY).

You're not allowed to have sex but you better be popping out babies so figure that out but don't expect a nod of approval from your fashy overlords.

Ooh, whole words could be banned like "rizz" or maybe even classics like "dude" cuz slang is suddenly seen as some sort of indicator of a criminal or some stupid bullshit.

Wait! You can't pick your outfits anymore! You must wear the uniform of your socio-economic caste, now!

Seriously, they go after stuff that doesn't need to be gone after because they crave power and control. And when certain key mouthpieces bring up the concept in no more than one post, their whole cult eats it up.

My parents have been thoroughly brainwashed BEYOND HELP since 9/11, and no amount of talking to them or even showing them irrefutable proof that they've been lied to will do anything because they DO NOT CARE. They WANT the mythologized and romanticized "good ol' days" to be "brought back" because... 'Murica or something. (It's the brainwashing propaganda boomers we're brought up with)

My parents are also EXTREMELY GULLIBLE. My mom believed the old westerns on TV were how the west truly used to be like, and my dad swears to this day that people back in the day spoke with the trans-atlantic accent instead of just celebrities and other certain prominent people who were heard by the public on TV and radio. My dad falls for photoshop every goddamn time. My mom falls for click bait headlines and doesn't read articles (same with dad) and she believes literally anything that comes across her FB timeline. NEITHER ever knew how to use Google (back when Google was usable!)

I don't know how long it'll be before things like any and all unpunished violence against anyone not a fascist becomes a guarantee, so I beg everybody to please learn how to protect yourselves in SOME way!

Don't let 2024 be the start of the acceleration of 1984.

18 Klingon Phrases Thatll Save Your Life One Day

Long ago, as the crew of the Enterprise explored the final frontier, one man boldly did what fewif anyactors had ever done before: construct a language from scratch. But while James Doohan (Scotty) may have invented a form of Klingon on the set of Star Trek: The Motion Picture , the real credit for its enduring legacy goes to linguist Marc Okrand, who started developing Klingon for Trek films in 1984, bringing constructed languages (“conlangs”) to generations of new enthusiasts, from Trekkers toDunefans to Na’vi admirers.

People constructed languages before Klingon: J.R.R. Tolkien created Quenya in 1915, later used in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings; Edgar Rice Burroughs invented Barsoomian in 1912 for A Princess of Mars; St. Hildegard of Bingen fashioned the Lingua Ignota in 1200, crediting some angels for divine inspiration. But as part of a TV show beloved by millions of viewers, Okrand’s Klingon brought conlangs to the popular lexicon.

Much ofKlingon’s appeal comes from its lexical novelty. According to Joey Windsor, a linguistics doctoral student at University of Calgary, Okrand designed Klingon against the conventions of human language: Its meant to sound alien. The sentence structure in Klingon is object-subject-verb, which is the least common construction among all 7,000 human languages; it includes unusual sounds like the trilled “r” (think Willy from The Simpsons) and the guttural “h” (say Bach, with force). “He broke every one of those tendencies, but stopped just shy of the language becoming unpronounceable and unlearnable,” says Windsor. “I would describe Klingon as a barely natural human language.”

As the first constructed language widely portrayed on-screen, Klingon faced an additional hurdle: unlike the Elvish dialects in the Lord of the Rings novels, characters had to actually speak it. So Okrand developed a language both grammatically alien and actor-friendly. “It’s a really choppy language,” says Windsor. That’s helpful for any actors who may not yet be fluent in Klingonit allows them to simply memorize syllables, rather than long phrases.

Of course, Klingon was ultimately designed for the fans. For first-time viewers, fluent speakers, and those in between, the elaborate dialogue brings them into the world of the Treksomething not all fictional languages pull off. When done haphazardly, invented languages can alienate an astute audience. (Remember when Leia negotiated for Chewbaccas life in Jabbas court using the same few sounds over and over again?) But when done well, conlangs make the fictional world seem far more real.

In that regard, Klingon is the standard-bearerand countless others have followed. But its most diehard speakers are stillTrek fans, wholike Windsorhave given the language a life beyond the screen. Since he first got hooked while watching the pilot of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Windsor has given linguistics lectures on Klingon, created four languages himself (which he uses in Dungeons & Dragons), and built up quite the vocabulary of Klingon phrases. To help celebrate this week’s 50th anniversary of Star Trek, WIRED asked Windsor to put together a primer on the language. Whether you’re meeting a Klingon for a beer, in need of a grave insult, or begging for your life, this guide has you covered. (And here’s an International Phonetic Association pronunciation chart, just in case you need help telling a velar fricative from a glottalplosive.)

quSDaq balua (Is this seat taken?)

Pronounced: qhu.q b lu. Usage: When youre sitting down to negotiations with a Klingon, its probably best to proceed with cautionalthough your polite question may betray your humanoid tendencies.

vjIjatlh (Speak)

Pronounced:d.dt Usage: As a greeting. “A Klingon will not waste time on trivial pleasantries,” notes Windsor. Why say “hello” when you can issue an order, instead?

pevIl muqaDmey (Curse well!)

Pronounced:ph.vl mu.qh.mj Usage: Instead of all the best or have a nice day, let your parting words say what you really mean.

nuqDaq oH puchpae (Where’s the bathroom?)

Pronounced:nuq.q ox put.p. Usage: Helpful if you forget which door is which on the battlecruiser.

nuqDaq oH tache (Where’s the bar?)

Pronounced:nuqh.qh ox tt. Best Use Case Scenario: This one is obvious. But be prepared for an answer that will lead to either Bloodwine or the taste of defeat.

terangan Soj lujaba (Do they serve Earth food?)

Pronounced: th.r.n od lu.db. Best Use Case Scenario: If the idea of serpent worms turns your stomach, it’s worth asking if your dining companion is taking you to a Klingon joint.

qut na HInob (Give me the salty crystals)

Pronounced: qhut n x.nob Best Use Case Scenario: Those salt crystals may be acceptable on human food, but Klingon gastronomes insist on eating gagh raw (and live).

qagh Sopbe (He doesn’t eat gagh)

Pronounced: q op.b Usage: A way for one Klingon to call another a coward.

Klingon: HIja/ghobe (Yes/No)

Pronounced: x.d/o.b Usage: As in, “Yes, I surrender.”

Dochvetlh vIneH (I want that thing!)

Pronounced: ot.vet v.nx Usage: Klingons arent known for their diplomacy, or their mannersget straight to the point.

Hab SoSlI Quch (Your mother has a smooth forehead!)

Pronounced: xb o.l qut Usage: As any Trekkie knows, this is a serious insult.

nuqjatlh (What did you say?)

Pronounced: nuq.dt Usage: If you need to buy a few minutes to come up with an escape plan, feign hard-of-hearing.

jagh yIbuStaH (Concentrate on the enemy!)

Pronounced: d y.bu.tx Usage: Klingon does have words for sorry and surrender, but according to Windsor, no Klingon would use them, and you would lose all honor if you did. Try this distraction tactic instead.

HeghlumeH QaQ jajvam (Today is a good day to die)

Pronounced: x.lu.mx qq dd.vm Usage: If you hear this, lets hope the Klingon uttering it is going into battle for you, not against you.

qaStaH nuq jay (What the #$*@ is happening?)

Pronounced: q.tx nuq dj Usage: If youre averse to cursing (Klingons arent), leave off the jay at the end.

wo batlhvaD (For the honor of the Empire!)

Pronounced: wo bt.v Usage: Uh, were all on the same team, guys.

tlhIngan maH (We are Klingon!)

Pronounced: t.n mx Usage: A common Klingon victory chant.

Qapla (Success!)

Pronounced: qp.l Usage: To be exclaimed victoriously after your first full conversation with a Klingon. And, hopefully, your escape.

Would my insurance costs go way up if I trade in my 2000 Toyota Corolla for a 1998 Porsche Boxster? I only have an additional $1000 per year to pay for any additional costs, would this be enough to cover the extra insurance and maintenance costs of an old used Porsche Boxster, one that seems to need quite a lot of mechanical work done at a Porsche dealer, compared to my old and flawless Toyota Corolla? Are Porsche dealers really expensive or is that just a myth?

Am I screwed? Two years ago I was approached by my auto insurance company.?

I was told that if I added my home owners insurance to their company that I would save a bundle on both the auto and the homeowner policy. At the time, I had the same homeowner company for over 25 years and was happy with my policy but they looked at the policy and said they could offer me the same coverage at the same price. So, of course, I switched and admittedly never looked at the policy until I had a recent claim. Now, I find that the policy that I was switched to was NOT the same coverage I had at...not even close. I now have a 1% deductible instead of $500 and I also now have actual value instead of replacement cost coverage. Needless to say, I'm angry and feel I have no recourse since I admit I didn't read over the policy...I trusted the agent , since I had my car insurance with them for over 30 years. Has anyone ever had this happen to them and what, if anything, can be done about this?""

""Young adult, no health insurance, I need help!?""

I am going to make this simple as possible: During this year, Jan to March, I have been on my parent's insurance, NJ FamilyCare, which we were enrolled under free-care because we were horribly under the poverty line, or above it? We're poor, that's it. And on April 1st, I was terminated from my insurance, they are saying I am 19 years of age, thus I have no insurance. Late August we (as a family) re-applied with all our names, and sent the papers in. But with a lot of research, I knew I shouldn't have been, under the Affordable Care Act I should have been on my parent's insurance until the age of 26. I meet the requirements: 1. Dependent Adult (19 years old) 2. Full - time student, no college insurance. 3. No insurance for 6 months now. 4. Not employed. I know for a fact, that being a full-time student, and being unemployed, shouldn't affect this, but maybe it is? I talked to a representative from the welfare office, (where my parents applied) and the lady (rudely) told me that because I am 19, and in school, I was terminated. And my social worker won't be done looking at the papers until late November. WTF? That doesn't make sense, so I kept the battle on, and told her that I should be covered under the law. But after some bullsh*tting around, she hung up on me. So I called again. And this time, another lady was saying, her son who is 20 years old, is insured under her insurance, and that I should come in with my parents, and tell our social worker that I am a full time student, who can't afford to be employed, (because of my 21 credit semester), I am dependent, and I have no job. I was like, well, it's not like I don't want a job, I just can't find the time to have one. I used to work 12 hour shifts, so don't think I don't like to work. The main reason I need the insurance, is because of my ADHD and Mania. I also always get sick, and have kidney problems. But with this, I still can't imagine why I was terminated. The lady told me I shouldn't have been under the law, but different people have different ideas... So, I will go to my social worker on the Tuesday, and find out what's happening. But I know I should be covered, and at least for my sake until I am 23-24. To which I plan to graduate and get my own insurance, and home. But if it doesn't work out, what other low-payment options are there? I heard about NJ Protect, but it's expensive on my part, and no way can I burden my parents with out-of-pocket payments. Thanks in advance.""

Annoying dilemma about factoring age into car insurance rates?

Okay this is annoying me. My car insurance policy is up for renewal very soon. It is a 6-mo policy. I am currently 24 yrs old but turning 25 literally 7 days after my policy renews. As you might know, generally car insurance rates decrease when you turn 25, because 25 is the age threshold that is no longer considered to be a high risk age group. However, my car insurance company insists on rating my entire 6-mo policy as a 24-yr-old...which means that for literally 96.2% of my policy period, I will be 25 yrs old but paying the higher rates of a 24-yr-old. This does not make me feel happy or appreciated. >:( So I was wondering...what would you do? Should I switch insurance companies shortly after turning 25 so that I can get a better rate, and then perhaps switch back to my old company sometime shortly later? Is there a way I can negotiate with a manager so that he/she will re-rate me shortly after my 25th birthday? Thanks for the feedback.""

Fake news is bad. But phony record is even worse | Natalie Nougayrede

Strongmen are rewriting the past to suit their intentions, but republics arent immune either, writes Guardian columnist Natalie Nougayrde

On 22 July, the Hungarian “ministers ” Viktor Orbn stood before university students and delivered a speech designation Will Europe belong to Europeans? It contained jogging texts about how a Soros plan was in place to bring in hundreds of thousands of migrants every year if possible, a million to the territory of the European Union from the Muslim world. The intent was to transform the continent into a brand-new, Islamised Europe. This, Orbn insisted, was what lay behind Brussels continuous and stealthy withdrawal of strengths from the national states. Orbn has form when it comes to this kind of paranoid image. Hes an authoritarian populist who has made a habit of rekindling xenophobia and anti-Muslim sentimentality. He eagerly enlarges far-right scheme beliefs about the Christian majority being threatened by demographic replacing. His word isnt precisely forgery word about the current, however. It comes laced with historic distortion.

Not since the treaty of Trianon, he gloated, has our society been as close as it is today to regaining its confidence and vitality a reference to the post-first world war convention that deprived Hungary of two-thirds of its territory. Orbns steering theory is that Hungary must seek redress for historical humiliations. The prompting is that, as his government confrontations with the EU on movement quotums, it is avenging grievances sprung in the 20 th century. Orbns manipulations going any further, and commit absolutely rewriting dark chapters of the past. Hes on the record as telling Mikls Horthy, the Hungarian captain who cooperated with the Nazis, was an exceptional statesman.

Of course, hes not alone in twisting record to further his political goals. In Recep Tayyip Erdoans Turkey, school volumes have been modified to de-emphasise Ataturk, the founder of the secular republic. Its all part of an effort to change that gift and extol the Ottoman past, as Erdoan carves out ever more superpowers for himself.

Controlling memory is at the heart of the Putin regime in Russia. Not only has Stalin been rehabilitated, with new shrines built to honour him throughout the country, but historians and human rights activists who work to document Stalinist crime have come under political pressing. Some, like Yury Dmitriyev, have been tried on trumped-up bills. And rewriting the Soviet past doesnt merely serve domestic political intents. Belying the offences of Soviet position in center and eastern Europe, and excusing the MolotovRibbentrop pact with the Nazis, offer justification for Moscow reclaiming its zone of influence.

Donald Trump gives a communication in Warsaw. Image: Petr David Josek/ AP

In Xi Jinpings China, any mention of the repugnances of the Cultural Revolution or of the Tiananmen square murder is stamped out because its seen as certain challenges to Communist party rule. Collective amnesia is what the existing regime attempt on issues that risk eroding greater legitimacy. Its not enough to hurl dissenters in prison or censor knowledge; the past is purged.

And while its inviting to repute the rewriting of record is something observed exclusively in illiberal or tyrannical organizations, it has increasingly become a feature of democracies. Donald Trumps speech in Warsaw last month strove to cast Polands historical struggle for freedom and liberty as a civilisational combat for clas qualities, tradition and God, rather than an aspiration to democracy. The narrative wholly left out of the rich and went political tapestry that gave rise to the solidarity move. In a unusual turn, Trump also reaped a similarity between the threat Islamist terrorism constitutes to the west and the danger of being subjected to bureaucracy and regulation. His nativist eyesight of the west as an embattled fortress of Christian societies in culture jeopardy manifested is not simply a personal political credo, but a wider is making an effort to rewrite the history of liberal republics and the principles they are meant to uphold.

In Britain, Brexiteers have proven willing to supply their own version of record. Nostalgia for the working day of empire and their swashbuckling spirit comes accompanied with the mantra that the European project was a tyrannical straitjacket all along. Britain never had a say in anything the EU ended, and now it has the opportunity to free itself, so the fib departs. Never thoughts that Britain was at the counter, a full and influential is part of a team its citizens and its economy have benefited from. Extremism adapts not only the sensing of existing realities( as mediations limp forwards ), it also adapts the past to suit one set of beliefs.

George Orwells 1984 contains a well-known word about record and the great importance: He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past. We obsess rightly about the impact of imitation information, but todays nationalist furies has become even more deeply rooted in the bia of biography, which citizens in many countries lap up despite the fact “its by” poison. The past has always been a battleground. The 20 th century proved to what extremes country controller over remember could go. Primo Levi, who experienced the nightmare of Nazi concentration camps, formerly wrote that the entire biography of the Reich can be re-read as a crusade against memory.

One of the backings of living in a republic is that researchers, students, writers and citizens at large can all access the past without having to subject themselves to any form of centralised, censoring see. The philosopher Tzvetan Todorov has described this as one of “the worlds largest” inalienable impunities, alongside the freedom to speculate and express oneself. Yet the security of recall in democratic civilizations may not be as assured as we recollect. Some legislators want to lead us in a procession towards forgetfulness. But that acces lies a nature of senselessness and treachery.
