ok

who's the girl with Kiki?

@Avery could be localized censorship, probably illegal under turkish laws or something

Avery

@Hakase I was on US vpn

also no, that's legal under turkish laws

though yeni akit disagrees

Tim E. Lord

8:13 PM

@Ave wtf is this

Avery

fuck everything

also I lost my flag lmaiko

nope found it

I expect protests

and I expect days off school I guess.

I'm furious

like

I feel like throwing stuff around and that's not fine

even though the thing is quite non-breaky and plastic and wouldn't cause any damage

Tim E. Lord

It's the same trick Russia pulled off with its anti-gay-propaganda law

Avery

now this and tomorrow they'll revoke our driving licenses

and in a week they'll ban the whole everything

Tim E. Lord

Because they can make anything remotely connected to LGBTQAwhatever+ fit to their "gay propaganda" definition, effectively anything can be done

@Avery I believe there was a bill in Russia to ban trans people from having driving licences.

Avery

yes that was what I was referencing

Abyx

8:25 PM

@TimE.Lord lolwut? why?

Tim E. Lord

@Abyx Idk, I didn't follow it closely

Avery

@Abyx oppression.

that's why.

Abyx

there had to be a reason

Avery

oppression is a valid reason

like

we do pride events everytime and nothing happens

but suddenly they're banned for "security".

so

official reason is "security" for this, but that's not the real reason

real reason is oppression

silencing

destroying representation

erasure

Abyx

why not, Turkey is a Muslim country

Avery

8:30 PM

yeah and russia isn't

don't put all the hate on religion

Abyx

yep hence my question

Russia should have a different reason

Tim E. Lord

Not at all, it's effectively the same

Rooted in "culture and morals" and supported by the Russian Orthodox Church™️

Avery

see

I am losing it rn

and this is exactly why they're doing it

to make us not feel safe

Taisho

Abyx

oh well that "Russian law forbidding driving for trans people" is a fake news. The actual law forbids only cases with "severe symptoms of illness".

Avery

8:40 PM

they still ban trans people from driving though.

Abyx

@Avery nope

also it doesn't say "trans people". the law says "F60 - F69 ICD-10"

Avery

ugh

Abyx

ICD-10 Chapter V: Mental and behavioural disorders

The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10) is a coding of diseases and signs, symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances and external causes of injury or diseases, as classified by the World Health Organization (WHO). This page contains ICD-10 Chapter V: Mental and behavioural disorders. The ICD is actually the official mental health system for the US, but even many professionals do not realize this due to the dominance of the DSM. The WHO made chapter V available in different versions: "Clinical descriptions and...

welp, (F64.0) Transsexualism

but anyways, there should be "severe symptoms of illness" which actually prevent driving

Avery

yeah I just opened my copy of dsm

Abyx

probably that means that a person takes some kind of medication which prevents driving.

Avery

8:44 PM

there are 5 main meds

none prevent driving.

Abyx

dunno, not a medic

anyways, I see no issue here. Medical commission decides whether the person can drive or not.

Avery

see

on paper it might sound innocent

but in practice they can, will and probably are using it to oppress minorities that CAN drive.

Abyx

meh. if a person is so stupid that being a trans is in their medical documents - then they probably shuldn't drive.

Tim E. Lord

Wossat mean?

Avery

@Abyx legal diagnosis is usually required for supplying meds legally, you know.

Abyx

8:50 PM

do you know how those medical commissions work? you come there and they ask you - "are you all right?" - you say "I'm good" and that's it

well if you're taking meds then you shouldn't drive

Avery

there are people who take meds that don't affect their driving abilities one bit.

hrt is one of those meds.

like

Abyx

well then you can drive

Avery

you can't expect people to not drive for taking aspirin for headache and stuff

Abyx

do you even know of any case when this law was actually abused?

Avery

I do not, though I don't think that I can find a few by asking around.

However I am not in mood for that.

Abyx

8:55 PM

right, why care

Tim E. Lord

This website (in Russian) claims no ban was actually introduced and that the new law changed nothing

Avery

I asked a friend, she'll ask around.

@TimE.Lord obvious user edit

not necessarily

it could be that some character is commonly referred to as a "bloke"

in Merlin

which is either a movie, a play or a novel

Tim E. Lord

He wasn't in Merlin the TV show

Memor-X

9:57 PM

@Hakase ^ i've seen that and i don't recall his face

Tim E. Lord

Colin Morgan is in it, and some may say they look alike

at the very least a proper edit has Merlin linked to what it's talking about

The film received mixed reviews from critics and is considered a box office failure, losing between $125 million and $140 million for Legendary Pictures. Jack the Giant Slayer was released on home media on June 18, 2013.

> I'm 19 and a little girl called me sir

huh

we don't have a "mister" or "sir" in russian

usually strangers call out to others as "young man" (literally young human) or "young woman" (girl is the closest word in english)

adult men are called with a word which literally translates to english as "man"

Tim E. Lord

@Hakase Fräulein is the word you need for the latter

Hakase

and it's super unusual for kids to call adult men that

@TimE.Lord it's not like "madam"

usually people say "woman"

literary translation into english is usually "lady" but the literal translation is "woman"

Tim E. Lord

10:15 PM

Fräulein is an unmarried woman

Abyx

@Hakase s/young woman/shojo/

Hakase

"miss" then?

Tim E. Lord

Exactly

Hakase

this married/unmarried thing doesn't have an equivalent in russian

I wonder what's the deal with it in english and related languages

Tim E. Lord

42

Q: Why is "Fräulein" considered offensive, as opposed to "Frau"?

Does Fräulein imply that the woman being addressed is not fully a Frau? Does it imply a lower class status?

Oh crap

My world has been put upside down

Hakase

10:24 PM

interesting

but I'm not planning on ever speaking or reading german

or any european language besides english

Tim E. Lord

Why?

Hakase

just not in my plans

I used to think I'll learn some more languages sometime for work or for fun, and I'd start with french, german and japanese, but through the years I realized it's not fun and I don't need to

the idea of moving to another country, somewhere in europe, to live and work there… it just doesn't look attractive at the moment

I'd have to worry about so much

Memor-X

@Hakase depend on why you need it. personally for japanese it's just so i can have access to a much larger library of anime, manga, light novels and games

Tim E. Lord

What about Asia?

Memor-X

after all if i learned Japanese i'd be playing all of the Sono Hanabira games, not just the translated ones

Hakase

10:28 PM

this sounds familiar reddit.com/r/programming/comments/7e1eu0/…

@Memor-X I guess but I'd hope the really good ones will be translated anyway

@TimE.Lord what about it?

same deal

except it's much worse for a european-looking person to live there

or imagine living in africa

I'd stick out in the crowd as an obvious foreigner

at least in europe I'd not obviously look out of place

Memor-X

*looks up Yuri Project progress on Maidens of Michael on VNDB*....wait, THERE'S A MANGAGAMER LINK!

Hakase

but on top of that, it's a little bit more effort to learn the asian language structure as opposed to european

Tim E. Lord

If you already speak English, sure

Memor-X

> 2017 ANNOUNCEMENT

oh come on, don't tease me here

Tim E. Lord

But you have the advantage of already speaking at least two languages, not so close to each other

Memor-X

10:31 PM

give me some sorta date for release

Hakase

sentence structure in russian and english is veeery similar

Memor-X

you know this is how i'll be

Hakase

japanese and french are more alike imo

Taisho

Hakase

(unfortunately I didn't give a shit at school about learning the words for different parts of speech in neither russian nor english so idk how they're called, and so I can't give an example :p)

Tim E. Lord

10:33 PM

AFAIK, Czech is easy to learn for someone who speaks Russian (source: Day Watch by Lukyanenko :D)

Hakase

ye my friends learned it in under 2 months to pass the exam and moved there permanently to work in chem industry and get a second education

I've visited with them for a week, it was just another country, nothing radically different

Tim E. Lord

See? Easy.

Polish should not be too difficult

Hakase

except I didn't have to speak to anyone :p

@Hakase so many comments on someone hating gay pride parades. they're bloody more festive than Army Marchers. "We're this kind of person and proud of it" VS "We won by killing the most people"

Hakase

it's fun to replace the keywords to something different and see if you can still agree with the statement

@ento ey watup

I see you peek in at random times, but you don't talk here

do you just browse our starred images?

this is one of my favorite rooms :) and I press "rejoin all favorite rooms" at random times

you don't have much activity in general on any site, as far as I can see stackexchange.com/users/10653/ento?tab=activity

Memor-X

10:54 PM

@ento yay, we're favorited. we feel loved

Hakase

is Japanese.SE so slow that it's okay?

we're pretty low activity here too, so a couple mods could lay back and do nothing and it wouldn't really cause trouble for others

but still I'd say we have more activity here like closing id requests at least once a day

ja.stackoverflow.com/users?tab=moderators you've been assigned in 2014

from the rep I'm guessing there's not much to do in terms of regular activity

ento

yea I'm a pro tem mod for ja.so - and lately I've been falling back more to the role of a human exception handler

Hakase

interesting

but, intending to pop into chat more often. (ja.so's chat hasn't had a lot going on since the early days)

yea I couldn't google that one up :D

what is kujira

ento

@Memor-X yes!

Hakase

oh but it's not finished airing yet

there's no way I'm gonna be able to live peacefully waiting for the next episodes

ento

so you generally don't watch currently airing ones? :)

Hakase

11:13 PM

nope

I still have a lot of old series to see

the watchlist never ends

Memor-X

@ento the wait is a pain

Hakase

and then there's also manga and other things to do, so it truly never gets to the point where I have nothing to watch/read and have to wait for the next episode/chapter to come out

Taisho

Hakase

also with anime it's safer imo to wait for it to end and see the final rating than to get in at the start and only with everybody else who's watching learn that the show didn't go anywhere and the plot/characters all sucked

ratings can change down to -1 or -1.5 points in extreme cases

reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/7dyslp/…

dayum

shen needs to stop taking it so seriously

ento

yea I can see that. in my case, I don't consume other forms of entertainment much. I spend the rest of my non-work free time reading books for learning stuff and coding

Hakase

@Gao shoujo ai/yuri subtext in Saki, how can i not read that as anything but a confession

@EarlGrey apparently going by the posts around it

Earl Grey

what?

Memor-X

note to self, first google result of "wikipedia saki" is not the manga

@EarlGrey the original post i replied to, around it @Unihedron and @Gao was talking about Saki

Earl Grey

@Memor-X that's why you google saki anime or saki manga

Memor-X

Saki is the mahjong anime

@EarlGrey the latter would have worked because that was the second result

Earl Grey

but the first result for me is manga tho
