It’s neither: this is just basic facts about Star Wars.

How so?
koavf@lemmy.mlOPto Linguistics@mander.xyz•Language Log » Animal calls are not comparable to human speech2·1 month agoSure but what I am struggling to understand here is that these sets of communication elements must have been generated in the first place by the animals that use them, so this resolves nothing really. Is there something I am missing here?
I am sure that it is not, but more kind words on the Internet are always appreciated.
koavf@lemmy.mlto Palestine@lemmy.ml•Radiohead’s Thom Yorke Releases Statement on Israel and Gaza11·2 months agoI don’t have a term for that, but either way, equating anyone who has played music in Israel with being a Zionist and therefore, a Nazi is childish and obscures actual Nazism. There is real fascism and racism in Israeli society but it is not true that it’s somehow caused by Thom Yorke.
koavf@lemmy.mlto Palestine@lemmy.ml•Radiohead’s Thom Yorke Releases Statement on Israel and Gaza11·2 months agoI certainly agree that putting pressure on Israel since the grotesque over-reaction to the October 7 attacks is appropriate. I can see the argument for just never playing a concert there, but I think having played a concert in Israel ever does not qualify someone as a “Nazi”. That’s preposterous. Israel is presently in the process of an active and highly violent genocide against Gazans. Prior to this, public policy has been generally oppressive and heinous against Palestinians, sometimes more or less so.

koavf@lemmy.mlOPto Linguistics@mander.xyz•The World Has Millions of Colors. Why Do We Only Name a Few?3·2 months agoRed, though? Blood. The colour might vary a bit, but nowhere as much. Black? Soot. White? Clouds, chalk. It’s simply easier to generate points of reference for those.
Too true and makes sense, but what confuses and vexes me is the idea that “yellow” would predate “blue”: Blue things include bodies of water and the sky (assuming the azure/cyan and royal blue/standard blue are the same color), but what important thing is there that is yellow that we need to talk about so urgently? Blue comes up with some foods, but it is rare and other natural phenomena like colors of a night sky, but I’m struggling to think of the reason why we needed “yellow” prior to that. Any conjecture?

One chapter is about typography, but the rest is also interesting if you care about design generally.

This is particularly interesting to me: where did you get this?
Thanks for the thorough comment.

I’m confused as to if you read the article, since you point out Chinese characters later. Did you?
