They’re the same. The “pika” is from “hika”, which refers to light.

For the books I would personally most like to translate, I think the problem is marketability. Nordic children’s/youth literature often contains nudity/sexuality and/or darker emotional themes which are often viewed as inappropriate in English-speaking cultures.

In “Vi skulle vært løver” by Line Baugstø a young girl discovers her classmate is transgender, and for much of the book participates in transphobia before learning better and supporting her new friend. It’s a very well-told and realistic emotional experience, but would likely be seen as grooming by many English-speaking audiences. Not only does it support trans people, but it also spends quite a lot of time in the girls’ locker room. I think if you tried to give this to kids in the US or UK there’d just be a ton of controversy about it and it’d get banned.

I wonder this all the time. I can’t help but fantasize how I would translate things while reading, but there’s nothing to be done about it if the publisher isn’t interested. They could at least make it legal to distribute fan translations.

I made another edit to my original comment attempting to use that syntax, and it actually does work on Sync (although it looks a little weird), but it doesn’t work on Voyager or the mobile site. Curious how it looks on your end and what the problem is with it.

e: Now it’s working on all three even though I didn’t change anything. ???

The triple colons don’t work for me, so whenever people use those it just shows the contents directly. Whereas >!spoiler!< shows up as:

An idea to test:

!>! Does this work? !<!<

Firefox Mobile:

Sync:

I don’t know what the rules are to make this shit work.

I did. The problem is that different apps seem to work differently, and it’s quite frustrating. If I’ve understood my search correctly, spoilers aren’t supported by Lemmy’s backend.

SPOILERS for the 2025 film Weapons.

Let’s see if this spoilers tag works.

e: I think this should work for most people??

I’m the same way and regret nothing. I have personal social contacts and YouTube reviewers who recommend plenty of content. I go into movies without any knowledge or expectations and love it.

One of my favorite experiences is starting the Substance, thinking to myself how pretty Demi Moore is and admiring her as an older woman, and then gradually learning what the film is about.

Is she a professional liveseamer on Stitch.tv?

Those things pop your ears, yeah, but they’re not what I mean, and they don’t make the noise. Oh well.

I taught myself to do this after reading about it in a short fantasy promo when I was little. An adult asks a boy what he can hear, and he says people talking, so the man instructs him on how to really listen to what is being said around him, to gather information without attracting notice. I’ve always wondered what that story was because I’d like to read the whole thing.

I didn’t realize that’s not a thing everyone can do. There’s a part of All I Want for Christians is You that’s just someone mashing annoyingly on a piano, and it’s so disgusting that I love it. It starts at about 0:58 on the YouTube Music copy, and then changes at about 1:05. It’s such an annoying sound in isolation.

Human skin contains photoreceptors, so this makes perfect sense.

Based on what I’ve read about senses, I think most of human sensory variance is born in the brain and is trainable to be much more sensitive than we’d generally expect possible given our comparatively weak hardware. Some of us have the supertaster gene, but no one comes out of the womb a sommelier.

Can you do that thing where you flex some internal muscle and hear a loud rumbling that I assume is rushing blood? It’s hard to explain. I think the muscle is related to the jaw, or maybe ear movement. It’s not externally perceivable, but it’s useful on an airplane.

You’re projecting onto me things that you’ve observed in other people who are not me.

Yeah, it’s a real tragedy all those cishet white folks getting stuffed in ICE vans and stopped at the borders.

I found cognitive behavioral therapy very helpful and cannot recommend it enough.

I can’t bring myself to be happy about it when it involves a bunch of innocent people suffering.

If I remember right, “we” is celes personal pronoun.

I don’t know what was said before the deletion, but are anarchists not welcome here?
