  • Is there some sort of app or website where I can do creative writing ?

  • Mastodon has a lot of writing prompt posts, especially if you like poetry and shorter bits of writing.

  • Do you fall asleep listening to podcast, videos etc? Favorites to listen to?

    Jump

  • Mostly I fall asleep to Alan Watts, Charles Bukowski (read by someone with a better voice haha), sometimes a reading of Khalil Gibran's The Prophet. When I get bored with those, I try radio stations, just whatever one interests me at the moment. Sometimes I'll listen to the "learn [language] while you sleep" videos, just as a goof.

  • Idea for making a cipher, based on vowel space

    Jump

  • That simplifies things, because it gives you some room to "force" certain pairs. You could for example shoehorn the short vowels qualities into cardinal /i e æ/ vs. /u o ɒ/, or a similar system, so the opposition becomes apparent.

    Yeah that's the kinda thing I was thinking of re: vowels. I don't know exactly what I want from the vowels, but it's something like that.

    Which English dialect or standard are you using as a basis?

    Well, it's a goofy baby-talk cipher, so I'm inclined to be pretty flexible with this.

    You could do it based on the furthest in the mouth, then you'd get binary vs. velar... and the alveolars are left unchanged.

    I thought of that... I just think it would get too messy if I tried to be precise with this method. Maybe I just need another method.

  • You seem to get what I'm saying about the vowels... except for another detail I didn't mention. I was thinking of altering the vowels to sound like baby-talk, sort of. An example that doesn't fit the specifics but illustrates my point would be the word "hello" sounding something like /i'lø:/. But more oppositional or at least more creative in which phoneme replaces which.

    As for consonants, I mean which consonant phoneme would be furtherst from /m/, or /r/, or whatever. Like, the opposite of bilabial, maybe.

  • Anyone here smoke klip dagga?

    Jump

  • I grow it. The high is similar to cannabis, but not as strong (I can't handle cannabis). The leaf is mainly relaxing, and the petals can sometimes give a stronger high.

  • I wish I'd known how difficult it is to make a good, functional conlang. I badly underestimated this.

  • What's the most important problem in the world that one can work on?

    Jump

  • My focus is on trying to make the world a better place locally, on a tiny level. There is a lot wrong with the world and I can't do anything about it on that overwhelmingly massive scale, but helping in whatever tiny way I can creates ripples that reach further than trying to fix EVERYTHING.

  • Was listening to The Cure for about a week, and still listening to them for a horrible reason.

  • The Cure guitarist Perry Bamonte dies aged 65

  • Oh crap. I was just binging on The Cure yesterday, then saw this news only now. What an absolute fucking dumpster fire this year has been. Thanks for the music, Perry. 🙏

  • What are your favorite songs about atheism?

    Jump

  • Heh. I played this at a Christmas street party years ago, and I had a gaggle of bitter old women march towards me, intent on causing trouble. They told me the song's satanic because "imagine no religion" is exactly the same thing as "imagine no God/spiritual presence". I replied that the song is actually about the kind of religion that turns people nasty, like them. I turned around to get support from my band, only to see them half a mile down the road. Very memorable Christmas street party, that one.
