Funny is subjective but damn, to be this offended when someone pokes fun at your belief system in a post where they poke fun at basically every belief system shows how fragile your belief is.

There's a difference between a spoken dialects existing and everyone being taught as a kid how to sound letters the same way. There exists a unified way of speaking the language in Spain that if you do everyone understands you.

About the link you linked on inconsistencies with written to spoken.

In general, the orthography of Spanish is such that the pronunciation of most words is unambiguous given their written form

Then it describes inconsistencies that don't exist in Castilian. In Castilian X is always ks, using x as sh is something only done in regional dialects or languages. They even use Mexican as an example when in Spain Spanish, it's written and pronounced Mejicano and Méjico, with the hard J that our grammatical rules would force you to say when reading that word. We now use the x to write Mexico but that's similar to how in English you now write Türkiye, because it's a given name and for respect. Same for Ximenez, I believe that's in Catalan/Valencian and they do pronounce it as sh, but that's another language now is it? In Spanish that surname is written and pronounced Jimenez.

Languages don't care whether there's a "central institution" recording it, because language is constantly negotiated between speakers

Sure, having a common ruleset doesn't help when negotiating /s

The fact that y'all have so many loan words that make your everyday life and you have to learn in a case by case basis of how each word is "supposed" to be pronounced is crazy. In Spanish and other similar Latin based languages we automatically know how to pronounce words we have never heard because the language is unambiguous from written to spoken, no one will look at you weird or tell you you spelled stuff wrong if you follow the ruleset. We even have the ` to indicate the syllable that needs to be stressed so that it's obvious for a reader how to pronounce words.

Yeah the language has changed, sure. But dismissing a central organization that records them and maintains a strong ruleset that incorporates changes is silly.

Big note that might be missed in the text that contextualizes how fucked up what La Liga in Spain is doing is. A judge gave a court order to ISPs to follow through when La Liga tells them to ban IPs without asking for a new court order per case, this VPN thing is there to catch people trying to circumvent the ban. The issue is that several streaming sites use cloud flare, so La Liga made ISPs ban half the fucking internet because they just banned half of cloud flare.

It's so bad that there's a web called hayahora.futbol to check if it's this shit when your fav forum, some Lemmy instances, several wikis, radarr and so much other stuff starts giving timeouts.

I don't see football, I already took issue with the fucking fans blocking the entry to the hospital in my city when there is a match, I really hate the concept since they took half the internet...

it would only work for a few generations at most until sound change and dialect divergence built up enough to once again strongly divorce spelling from pronunciation.

As a Spaniard this is bonkers. We have dialects but everyone is taught how each letter sounds and that hasn't changed in a long while. Even when there have been changed, there's a central institution that records them. Our language is consistent withing it's ruleset. It's crazy how inconsistent English is. Just don't change the sounds each letters do, why is it so hard?? It's so weird.

If someone wants to pronounce a word differently (not shorten, just straight up different) hit'em with a stick and yell them to speak properly at school. Ffs.

I know you said those are caricatures, but with C or C++, programs usually do have a make or cmake script to be built in 1-3 commands explained in the repo.

I'd have mentioned that their more typical execution error message is "segfault". Where? Fuck you, that's where.

Nothing from blizzard compares to MedianXL so.... No way I'm giving blizzard money for a worse product than their 26 years old game. Resurrected? More like refunded.

How about "don't hit people"? Being weak doesn't warrant not being an abuser or a threat.

We need Henry Cavill to put on a wig and to recreate the meme. I'm sure he would be up for it.

Similar to the Spanish "con"/"with" if it helps. Although we just call that sofá cama. So, sofa bed. No traces of VP Vance in between.

We call it bribing and corruption instead of lobbying though.

The original post was written in french, the response was in Japanese. Then the top person is impressed by the diss the french user did. That's it I think. It makes sense it's just bad.
