Those huge monoculture logging forests are really disquieting to walk through, they're a hellscape in terms of biodiversity. You go down from millions of diverse species down to like a few dozen, just waiting for the next failure cascade to take the whole thing out. Human industry is a hell of a thing.. everything it touches turns to poo poo

Apart from slav, another word that also descends from the latin "sclavus" (slave), via a dialectal version of the italian "schiavo", is "ciao" (Venetian: s'ciavo). As in, "ciao, bella" A lot of languages/dialects in central and eastern europe (Bavarians included) use "Servus" in the same way e: for clarity, i mean that the phrase descends from usage that was essentially "(your humble) servant/slave" boofhead has a new favorite as of 08:20 on Aug 27, 2021 |

Ahh that makes sense, thank you I got turned about on the cause/effect and thought they were saying that if you run long enough, you eventually unveil some sort of primal cosmic horror

BrigadierSensible posted:But on the language stuff: My dad learned English as a second language in Bengalaru. So when he moved to Australia, everybody he met thought that he was talking like Little Lord Fauntleroy because he was taught the ye olde posh formal ways of speaking English. Given his first job in Australia was working in Burnie, (a small town in Tasmania), the blokes at the cricket club soon taught him how to speak Australian. oval office It's a much less extreme anecdote but I lived in a somewhat posh part of England from the age of 4-7 before moving back to Australia to a public school. I had to lose the accent pretty quickly because it absolutely did not fit in, but it apparently never went completely away, to the extent where I was 18 and working in bars and a few old timers would ask me where I was from, and keep pressing until I mentioned living in England for a bit as a kid, at which point they went "ahh there it is then".
