  • Gin? Genetics? Giant?

    Do you pronounce Origin like Oregon?

    I personally find arguing pronunciation as entirely pointless when there are many words in English that get pronounced different based on a multitude of factors.

    People also like to argue it’s an acronym, but do you pronounce NASA the same as you pronounce the first letter of each word of National Aeronautics and Space Administration?

    Honestly? Just say it how it makes sense to you.





  • I was just talking about that movie a few days ago

    It started off alright, I was thinking “damn is this really a Michael Bay movie?”. It seemed like it wanted to ponder on the human condition and maybe do a bit of 1984-esque discussion on human rights, etc. Philosophical stuff that Bay isn’t known for

    Then a big green Xbox advertisement, suddenly there are explosions and the people who have never even seen a car or motorcycle are doing high speed chases on the highway, so much action, etc.

    It was such a jarring turn of events that it actually felt like the two parts of the films were made by two different people

    Humans have sexual dimorphism, but it’s a cultural thing that women wear skirts and men drink themselves to death instead of talking about their problems (both of these are jokes btw. I have a friend who wore kilts quite often and my mother drank herself to death)

    Also, genetics is tricky, there a plenty of examples of people who do not fall into one category or another for these sexually dimorphic traits. There are people who have genetics from both sex, as well and differences in hormones distributions will causes these traits to appear or not appear.

    Is a huge grey area.
