That's one reason I've ordered a few titles from PlayAsia recently. For example, the NTSC switch edition of the Metal Gear Solid collection requires downloading the titles. With the PlayAsia edition, lo and behold- everything is on the card, and multiple languages to boot.

So, this is both fascinating and remarkably simple once you learn some basics about how spoken language evolves.

Let's start here: say "woman" out loud. Now, say it again, and this time pay attention to your tongue. When you said "woman," did you pronounce the "o" sound at the front of your mouth, higher in your mouth, and the "a" at the back, lower in your mouth?

Now try this. Say "women," again paying close attention to where the vowel sounds come from in your mouth. First pronounce "women" as it is written- kind of like "woah men." Do you feel how much more work that requires that pronouncing "woman" does? Now, pronounce "women" as you naturally do. Assuming you are in North America, this probably sounds a bit like "wimmin."

Probably, this "wimmin" pronunciation feels easier and more natural. This is largely because those vowel sounds originate in roughly the same area. When a word has multiple vowel sounds and they move from front to back or top to bottom, there's a good chance we will naturally shift towards an easier pronunciation.

It was confirmed back in January. They very well may have already begun recording lines.

It's just marketing. They want these movies to dominate everyone's attention, and the juxtaposition between these two is ludicrous enough to get people talking

Milhouse is not a meme

A song, actually. Silverstein wrote the Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue. "

Intense looking dude or not, the man wrote "A Boy Named Sue." I'll show up for anything that can possibly become a Shel Silverstein appreciation post.

Someone else can explain it better, but basically the bicameral mind theory posits that the two hemispheres of the human brain only began communicating effectively in recent human history. Based off of symptoms related to illnesses we see now in the modern day, it is believed that this could be a plausible explanation for ancient humans claiming to have spirits, gods, etc talking to them.

Welcome! (lemmy.world)

My hope is for this to become a space where people in some way affiliated with the state of Alabama can discuss news, life, memes, etc related to living in (or being from) Alabama.

Roll Tide. War Eagle.

I'm having the opposite feeling. I also mod a sub of that size. The thought has crossed my mind to make that community here, sticky a thread in the sub, turn off automod, sign out, and let nature do the rest.

Edit: community made. Any users from, living in, or in some way attached to Alabama, feel free to find Sweet Home Alabama !alabama

There aren't any karma bots yet. No one is making useless comments like "this." The conversations are civil. I'm loving this community!
