The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 3!

[Revoltingest]

According to whom? Dr. Who fans seem to be a bunch of haters who are highly resistant to a female doctor and unreasonable critical of her. One such criticism, amd reaon for not liking 13,was nothing more than "I like the Doctor to be a man." That came from a Tardis shirt wearing female.

A feminist (who doesn't watch the show either).

Well of course you're misogynistic, but not because of anything to do with Doctor Who...its the whole sammich thing that makes you a misogynist

Nope, not saying she is above criticism, actually never even entered into a gender issue, I actually like her as the doctor, not my favorite, in the top 5, but nowhere near the worst.

I am simply stating that the "writers" of the show lost me by bringing back a character that most clearly died in 2 generations simultaneously and did not regenerate in either after death. And to add to it the last version of the master was actually becoming ally of the doctor....now, the master is back and evil as ever......nope, they lost it this time IMHO

Missy will probably always be my favorite Master. I never even cared for the character until her.

Because I have Google Translate...

GT sucks...really...
If artificial translators were effective, there would be no need of interpreters.

For example...when some American writes me sentences in Italian (translated through GT)...I feel like banging my head against the wall...

Our language is sacred to us.

My German teacher failed people if they used that. Because it is obvious to those who know the language.

Our language is sacred to us.

And ours is pretty much sacrilege...

That ain't not true uhuh

Yeah, but it's still probably better than ME trying to figure out how to say or read something in some other language...

I was able to ascertain EF's general meaning without using translate...but then, I understand what she posts about most often

If she had said she needed a hot sandwich, I probably wouldn't have had any idea what she was talking about and just assumed it was about sex...

Oh so that's how it is huh...ok.....well let me tell you MY thoughts about Google translate..... 有总比没有好 (Yǒu zǒng bǐ méiyǒu hǎo)

 

[Shadow Wolf]

I can say at least I did find a therapist who is actually taking with me and addressing symptoms I talk about, rather than just dismissing them and never taking about them. Like my hyperactive mind, which will finally be assessed next week, after years of complaining about it and getting nothing.

How does one say "translation error" in Mandarin?

I do use Google translate for Japanese to get the symbols. But that does require playing around with the sentence in English to get what I actually need, or else it just comes out looking like nothing I've sluggishly learned over the years. I also use it, for that and German, to look up words that I can't recall.

Best to translate into the language you want and then translate the result back into English and see if it is correct.

I can't remember exactly what I was playing with Google translate for at the time, but its Chinese translations you to be hilarious. It has gotten better over the years

"Bring your ancestors back from the grave," if I remember a particular ad slogan for a soda product correctly...

I've tried that. Multiple things will give the same thing in English. Even in German where most, if not all words have one meaning.

When I was younger I used to joke about being the anti-Christ. But now I think that may be my actual purpose in life. Declare war on the church, become the intellectual adversary of the clergy on a larger scale, being the trauma and emotional damage is prone to causing into mainstream discourse, and so my part to further weaken and diminish is influence and grip on society. I will do what I can to be an accomplice to god's assassination in America.

Um...
Seems to me that there are a few members on this very forum that have done a most excellent job at pushing people away from Christ.
Even more so than what you propose above.
Just saying
