Yarn of insignificant questions

[kurczak]

is there any value in translating allah as allah rather than god?

Oh Allah!
You just reminded me how I was watching a movie about Friday Kahlo (Kalho? Khalo?)
The movie was in English, but they randomly added bits in Spanish.
Hello Pedro, how's your mujer? Ahhh she is a puta xD!
There's also a movie based on a book by Garcia Marquez and they do the same ****. people on the street all speak Spanish, but the main characters speak English. But they are not English or American or whatever in the film.

Ay, esé  it is there to remind you the movie is muy exótico, so you have to like it, comprende, pendejo?

How has donald trump become blond? Is that a common thing or is he excessively sunbathing?

 

[Age of Empires ¶ Densetsu]

His hair went white due to The Aging Process so he started dying it.

Just to confirm:

He dyes it, Bilgesi.

 

[Calradianın bilgesi]

I qm not used to see male non-actors/singers dye their hair blond. The thought didn't even cross my mind

There's a famous soap opera writer in Brazil that likes to give foreign themes for her soap opearas, so some have Turkish, Greek, Lebanese, Indian, etc... characters, all of which can communicate perfectly with the Brazilian characters for some reason except some interjections and little expressions in some of their languages and sometimes a really bad fake accent. I find it completely infuriating and cringeworthy.

I find it completely infuriating and cringeworthy.

Was there ever a soap opera that cannot be fully described by those two words?

 

[Adorno]

Two questions that can be answered with yes or no:

1. If I say something that I don't actually know to be true, but it later turns out to be true, was I telling a lie to begin with?

2. If I'm convinced of something to be real, and it later turns out to be real, was I right all along?

 

[Calradianın bilgesi]

Being right is merely about your belief being true. If you believe that p and p is true then you are right. Justification is irrelevant.

 

[Antonis]

Yes.

 

[Untitled.]

There are several competing conceptions of what constitutes a lie. The conventional definition requires you to believe that your statement is false in order for it to be a lie though (usually with an express intention to deceive). Generally then, truthfulness (concerns belief) and falsity (concerns validity) of a statement are two separate phenomena.

This article, specifically section 1.2, does a fairly good job of discussing the issue.

 

[Adorno]

Then the conclusion is to state everything as convictions (or beliefs, faith, views etc.) to avoid being caught in a lie.
That explains a lot of political talk 

 

[Calradianın bilgesi]

You can also insulate yourself from criticism if you add imo to your statements which makes everything you say true as long as you are sincere

 

[BenKenobi]

Isn't imo always implied? 

 

[Dryvus]

It sure as hell should be, in my opinion. And people need to understand that saying something isn't saying everything.

Why dodo bird is The Extinct Animal?

 

[crodio]

cool name, also it's not like one of those animals that look like ducks but aren't actually ducks, or so other boring animals that we godrightfully extincted.
Also the extinction wasn't long ago

 

[Dryvus]

It's the extinct animal because the humans did the overhunting.
