Good lord, this. Due to strange circumstances, I've been involved in editing a translation twice in my life. It's insane. In one case, the original author was relying on a WORD COUNT to judge the accuracy of a translation-- that was a two-language chain, at that! Languages are nothing like each other at all, and it's fairly common to have concepts, words or just grammar that doesn't translate between two languages at all.

strangely common misconception that words have basically the same meanings in every langauge and that translation is just a matter of identifying which exact word in the target language corresponds to the word in the original language

Seriously. I'm a manager. I have to deal with people. For, like, just HALF of that conversation, it would be "...we'll mail your last check to you. Don't come by the store again."

New trainee!

They need to be better known!  And if they’re predators, can we train them to hunt creationists?  (I don’t mean for them to HURT anybody.  Just track them down, and skim in front of them holding up signs that say “I got your transitional form RIGHT HERE BUDDY”)

THDI IS FUCKING KILLING MEEEE

I took developmental bio. Seriously, nothing is simple. Gender least of all, perhaps.

"there are only two sexes, it's literally third grade biology!" and pronouns are taught in kindergarten and you dont seem to understand those either
