Queue is just the name of the letter “Q”.

But it “kyoo” might not be an easy sound depending on your mother tongue

It only has a single vowel, which is an r-coloured vowel…which most languages don’t have. For that matter, many languages don’t even have our “r” sound, so colouring a vowel with “r” is incredibly hard when you don’t even have that consonant to colour with!

Not to mention that after using that r-coloured vowel, you have a semi-syllabic L immediately afterwards. (Is squirrel one syllable or two? Depends on who you ask I guess!). As you may know, L and R are the same in some languages. And even if a language has both AND pronounces them the same ways as English (not necessarily common), they might not allow an L to follow an R! (Just like how we don’t allow R to follow an L)

Oh, and which vowel are we colouring? “i” or the “short I”. This is a very rare vowel, following a third dimension (tenseness) that the majority of other vowels don’t use. Not common in other languages, either!

So that’s the last two sounds.

The first three is a consonant cluster containing another uncommon consonant (w). And even ignoring that, s and k can’t always be combined together in other languages.

So literally every sound in the word “squirrel” has something foreign and rare about it to many languages immediately as you start to get past that “s” sound. Brutal.

Of course, we have two th sounds just to make things more fun

Oh, Galaga is another good one!

I play lots of games from my childhood. Even though it was before my time, Super Mario Bros on the NES is probably the oldest game I regularly go back to. But I love retro games, so I’ll play even older games on occasion.

Their hardware is too expensive even with this subsidizing it

The commenter you replied to seems to be suggesting that the spying still happens

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Especially when Nintendo seems to be creating scarcity by doing limited releases and such.

Thank you for explaining it! Even OP didn’t want to type it out, lol

In addition to what others have said, I can read much faster than most people can speak. And I can’t really skim a video that’s a monologue the way I could skim a post.

Especially when it’s a video that has a point advertised in the post title.

I unsubbed from the Videos community for a reason! Haha

When did you see the most activity here?

Why is it? It’s a video instead of text, and the video doesn’t even have subtitles

Damn. One month, you find out you have cancer. Next month, you’re dead.

I’m generally of the same opinion about the Switch, but it’s amazing to be able to play it on flights

I was about to say that garage doesn’t have the wrong “g” for GIF, but then I realized that some people might be ending “Garage” with an actual “j” sound

Given that they’re using stack overflow, I’m guessing they also have “professionals who have more time than work to do at work”

with the exception of two brief situationships I was in cus women suck.

This is part of the problem. You’re blaming an entire gender because you ended up in situationships.

Even if those two women are 100% at fault, you’re not just blaming women, but saying that all women “suck”.

women don’t wanna be talked to for more than small talk

This is part of the problem. Why are you talking “to” women and not “with” them? What do these two different phrases (“talking to” and “talking with”) look like? There’s a huge difference.

Plus getting out is anxiety provoking

This is part of the problem. It’s natural for some people to have anxiety. If you have the means, see if this can be treated by a specialist.

What else would it mean? That’s the kind of content the internet creates.

You may have spent too much of your lifetime on the internet if you think that this should be common knowledge, haha

(I say that as someone who probably fits into that category)

So, I changed my daily driver to linux several months ago and my gf a few weeks ago.

So, I changed […] my gf a few weeks ago.

How’s the new girlfriend?
