I don’t think a lot of people from Texas are referring to Euler by name, but I’d imagine they’d be predisposed to “Oiler”
Yoy-lir
You made that one up.
Edit: Upon reflection, I think this might be what I would phonate as “Ee-oy-lir”, like “Eeyore”, which I would accept.
Six sigma is literally a methodology based on reducing defects on the production scale of millions. Not every business is a high-volume manufacturer, and there’s no reason to treat them that way
The show gets boring very suddenly, then equally suddenly gets great again. Turns out, Lynch left the show for that exact period.
The meme is perfect then. Gas isn’t going to fix the problems, but it’ll keep the car moving for a while.
Like this?

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•I actually really like skibidi toiletEnglish
4·2 months agoI recommend anyone who hates on Skibidi Toilet to actually watch more than one video. I did out of curiosity, and discovered a surprisingly heavy story about camaraderie and loss in war, told almost entirely visually with basically no dialogue.
Yes, it’s ridiculous, but it’s also deeper than you would expect.
As someone who would have agreed with you this time last year, my new AR-15 may not stop a tank, but it can slow down the anonymous gestapo if they try to abduct my neighbors and loved ones.
Possibly, but that would be awfully convoluted. If you’re doing roleplay, typically you aren’t being quite that subtle.
If the wife is lying about being at the cinema with her, then no not wholesome.

Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•I actually kinda like when curse words are censoredEnglish
1·3 months agoI’m talking about perception, intention is beyond the scope of this opinion.
In any case, the censorship draws attention to the swear in a world where swearing is so casual as to become invisible. I’m going to repeat my analogy of tasseled pasties at a nudist colony.
There are other ways to add intensity, sure, the same things you can do to any other word. But censorship is a technique specific to swears that specifically highlights their vulgarity. The other methods don’t carry quite the same specific subtext.

1·3 months agoI didn’t say I have a desire to reduce swearing, I said that censorship in the form of strikethroughs, bleeps, etc. restores the emotional intensity of the swear.
“I don’t give a fuck” reads as dull and apathetic. The swear isn’t really conveying anything, it’s just lazy filler.
“I don’t give a
fuck” reads as aggressive and emotional. The swear has impact, it conveys intensity.

I have a lot of respect for languages that treat children as gender neutral.
