The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

I'm debating with myself about whether or not I should put active and passive verb stems in the language I'm creating.

The verb structure is already complex enough. It has twelve suffixes conjugated for person, and eleven verb stems that can be combined in different ways to express more compound tenses (like past progressive). The maximum number of these that can be put at the stem of the verb (logically, since some cancel each other out, like past and future, and habitual and instantive) is six.
 
Haha Subway.

I always get a heated Club on Italian herbs and cheese with extra cheese, sweetcorn, tomato and barbecue sauce.
 
wtf is sweetcorn

EDIT: I don't think what Andy did was creepy. Facebook is a placed that removes some of the awkwardness of saying no to someone in person (as seen in this case) so it's not like he aggressively pressured her. Plus they had interacted in person first. Customer/server asking out is a little weird, but I generally think that it's okay if the server is doing it. It's a good idea as a customer not to go for servers, because it puts them in an awkward position.

I think people are too worried about being creepy (although for a good reason). In the end this just means that a lot of people that make the first move end up being creeps.
 
The best Subway sandwich is 6" turkey and provolone on toasted Italian Herbs and Cheese bread. A little lettuce, lots of baby spinach, red onions, banana peppers for crunch, and Sweet Onion dressing. YUM!

grant - save your gray hair in a time capsule!

krig - good job!

Uh, technically wouldn't the language already contain both passive and active verb stems by the nature of subject predication/syntactical placement?

Well, yes, but I was thinking of equating the verb stems to the different conjugations of verbs in the active and passive voices in Sanskrit. It's kind of a herp derp thing anyway, so I'm not going to put it in. I still have to write out the sandhi rules. >_>
 
I used to want to create a language in my teens, but was too lazy. You're the man dawg.

You need to pull a Magma and write music lyrics in it.
 
I'm already writing a war chant in it. I'm making the language in part for a fictional group of nine-foot crocodilian people.
 
I'm writing an epic fantasy novel and included in it is a bunch of nine-foot crocodilian people.
 
Listening to the new Atheist album, and I think I will just re-post my earlier post to avoid retyping it:


The guitar style has picked up way too much influence from other bands, almost like deathcore or something, the songs themselves sound like something Mastodon would have written a few years ago, and the vocals are horrendous.
