I realized I never replied to this. Thank you so much for sharing more info on what your work entails! I'll look into it since it sounds like something I'd like to do. Hopefully it exists for other languages than English.

But you don't quite get a separate storyline as a result, unfortunately. When I was a kid and still learning English, I refused the quest a lot of times before understanding I wasn't supposed to if I wanted to progress in the game.

Are you trying to tell me seahorses aren't usually cute as heck???

J'ai des doutes que ce soit aussi compliqué, ou que y'ait pas d'entourloupes quelque part dont plusieurs profitent. Y'a des terrains et maisons qui se vendent, pis moins d'un ou deux ans plus tard, la maison a été détruite et y'a un ou des blocs d'appartements à la place. Ça me semble rapide en ciboulette.

That's good info to know. I admit I haven't really looked into the most recent news on these practices. Although I have a feeling that despite the government's efforts, the population's attitude towards piracy probably hasn't changed drastically.

Also, are we talking about any kind of piracy, or mostly on Korean media/cultural products?

Awesome, I appreciate it!

Could this be redone periodically? Like if there's enough demand for it in a few months or in a year?

I'm asking since I feel that's not an overwhelming majority and also because I know that I voted "No" before being fully informed on the topic, and unfortunately realized I couldn't change my answer. And I feel I might not be the only one who did that (though that doesn't mean the results would've changed significantly).

Non non non! Stop making me feel old >n<.

Yeah. That would probably fall under the "South Koreans don't care about licensing and copyrights" or the stations were able to pay for any fee that would come their way. It's kinda baffling what they get away with at times.

It's so odd because she contributed to the rise of public acceptance of fanfics, who were not as well-viewed before her.

Oh yeah. South Koreans do not care much about respecting copyrights. The number of times I've seen knock-off products of brands and franchises is pretty big. And I wouldn't be surprised that the Korean songs used are probably from groups that belonged to the company who also owned the show or TV station.

Ha ha yeah no. I've been friends for decades with that person at this point and I've settled well into the friendship. I'm happy with how things are now and I wouldn't change them 🙂.

I'd add to that that the different mentality of both South Korea and Japan when it comes to piracy probably contributed to that discrepancy too.

I've learned that South Korea will pirate anything once it comes out. It gets movie releases before everyone else (mostly) because of it released in the US first, then no one would go to the movie theater because they'd just pirate it.

In contrast, Japan gets movie releases last because they despise piracy and will patiently wait to see it legally instead of pirating it.

With that in mind, it kinda explains why Japanese labels will flag and take down any video of their music that doesn't belong to them (and they're pretty efficient at it), which surely has prevented their music from gaining as much popularity as the Korean counterpart, who really doesn't seem to care unless it hurts their sales or reputation.

I came to the mindset of “my primary goal is to make her happy, even if the person making her happy isn’t me, then she’s still happy. As long as she lives the life she wants with someone who respects and supports her, then I can live with the person who makes her smile being someone else.”

This is very important! I came to a similar mindset of "If I can't be their romantic partner, I'll be the best friend I can be to them!" Because they were very important to me, despite the emotions I held for them.

I mean, the guy would need to look the variety of French that's related to his family. It's not that difficult.

Also, that's localization for ya. Translating something that has a lot of cultural context needs to be properly adapted to a given cultural audience, else there's a high chance the piece won't land and be successful.

TBF, y'ont pas appris ni mis en application ces leçons-là, ces jeunes-là 😅. T'sais quand t'es p'tit nouveau dans la mobilisation et l'activisme.

Mais je comprends que ce soit... Un tit peu cringe à lire.

Carré rouge, un des plus gros symboles de la grève étudiante de 2012.

I think it has some value since Kris doesn't have the soul within them every time they create a fountain. Maybe if they did, the fountain would be a different colour then.

Fun personal fact: As a teen, I worked for one of the people that established the standards for the race. I had no idea before a co-worker, who was also her acquaintance/friend, told me (he also had a few sphinxes at home and he told me a bunch about them). We both were employed in a little sandwich counter in a touristic town.

I wish I could. Like have the option of "Well you should know that all vegetables are actually fruits, right?" and see what he replies after that.

Je... Pense que j'ai manqué un boutte. Ou que j'ai pas saisi de quoi.

Je croyais que votre commentaire précédent remettait en doute que l'événement que j'avais évoqué concernant PSPP était fondé. Me suis-je trompée?

Oui, ça au moins, j'ai connaissance que ça a existé!

Bonne nuit! Et merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager ces infos!

Ce n'est pas tant l'origine étymologique du mot (donc les racines de sa signification) qu'on doit regarder plutôt que dans quels contextes sociohistorique et sociolinguistique il a d'abord été créé et utilisé. On regarde plus l'usage dans un contexte donné (ici, en anglais, aux États-Unis).

De toute évidence, le mot «negro» en espagnol, n'a absolument pas les mêmes connotations que lorsqu'il est utilisé en anglais.

Par contre, en anglais et aux États-Unis, ce mot porte, historiquement, un lourd fardeau esclavagiste. Son usage a été originellement et principalement, raciste. Ça ne veut pas dire que c'est ce qu'il est, étymologiquement. Mais dans le contexte propre aux États-Unis d'Amérique, ce sont les circonstances qui entourent ses premiers usages. C'est plus à ça que je fais référence pour dit qu'il a été «créé pour insulter». Si je reformule, c'est que l'usage qui a popularisé le mot était en tant qu'insulte.

Hmm, j'vais rechecker et trouver une source. J'vous reviens dès que j'en ai au moins trouver une qui valide que c'est pas une fabulation de mon cerveau. Un instant!

[...]

J'ai trouvé deux sources (y'avait aussi des articles du JDM et du JDQ qui mentionnaient les propos évoqués dans mon commentaire précédent, mais n'ayant pas pu les lire à cause de mon bloqueur de publicités, je préfère ne pas les ajouter).

Juste prendre note que je n'appuie pas nécessairement les opinions exprimées dans les articles. Ils servent juste de sources aux propos de PSPP que j'évoquais.

Propos cités et trouvés dans l'article de l'UQAC : « Comme gouvernement, on va se réapproprier démocratiquement le contenu en éducation. Je ne dis pas que je vais me substituer aux experts. Par contre, je vais revendiquer le mécanisme de commission parlementaire, avec des experts mais [aussi] des citoyens, puis des gens qui représentent des citoyens, pour que le débat ne soit pas le monopole d’experts qui, en fait, sont peut-être, des fois des idéologues. »

C'est possible qu'elle ne comprenait pas la différence. Moi-même j'apprends quelque chose. Je pensais que l'un était la version «écrit familier» de l'autre (un peu comme le «totché» dans l'autre chaîne de commentaires, lel).

Merci pour cet apprentissage!
