what the hell amazon, why are these results for "gba game organizer"

all of our ds games are just unorganized in a box and I feel like we should get some kind of organizer for them

not sure what would work well though

it bothers me a little bit that proverb and converb, while both words, are not antonyms or even at all related

today, pronouns are becoming an open class in english among certain groups of speakers

hopefully we'll have them an open class in general soon

then we can move on to conjunctions. those have been closed for far too long

(that last bit wasn't serious, by the way)

we remember reading something about how closed classes (e.g. prepositions, conjunctions) are processed differently in the brain than open classes (e.g. nouns, verbs) which might be part of the problem with getting people to accept neopronouns--to those people, pronouns are also a closed class and the concept of adding a new word to the "pronoun" category is hard for them to parse, like if you were trying to add a new integer between 9 and 10

I like neopronouns because we're taking what linguists call a "closed class", a category of words that cannot have new words added to it, and adding new words to it anyway

why are they always nudibranches, why not clothedibranches

i don't know what desert bus is and at this point it feels awkward to ask

the Hearth :ms_agender_flag: boosted

meta? 

so uh. people are talking about a big wave of Indian people joining fedi? what happened to prompt this?

there's simulink, but where's the simuzelda

(BN and SF are a side series but equally wild, if more light-hearted)

Show thread

the original series is fairly generic "evil guy tries to take over the world, good guy stops him" but every other series (X, Zero, ZX, Legends, Battle Network, and Star Force if i'm not missing any) go *really* wild if you look into it
