Inquisitive semantics Puns

Has there been any work on indefinites in the Inquisitive semantics framework? What reference could I follow?

In the cargo hold the plath gamers, the matron, and the brewer were all having a meeting as they “cowered in fear.”

“If Fun Time is any indication,” Geelshan said, “If I can get on top of one, I can take them, especially if I can get something in my hand.”

“The rest of us could possibly double team or triple team another,” Ulennona added, “That would get us two boarding stunners and two sidearms and it looks like all of them have stun rods and probably have knives if they are humans.”

“In a fast engagement,” Ynellosan, the captain of the spacers mused, “those stunners are as good as a rifle, right?”

"They are better," Ullennona replied, "Any hit from a stunner will put you down, even if it just wings you. We will have either taken the ship or will have been taken out long before anyone hit by those starts to even think about getting back up,” he said.

“If you can take two of them,” the leader of the RTS team said, “then the rest of us could probably—“

“Bad idea,” Geelshan said, cutting him off. “Their long arms are stunners but those pistols are 7.62. They are very, very real. Unless you have VR sim or actual hand to hand experience you’ll die.”

“And there are too many people in here for stray shots,” Ynellosan added.

“I can probably take one,” the brewer said, “at least one.”

“You can?” Ulennona asked.

She nodded and stroked her beads.

“These aren’t just for show,” she said.

“That the whole library?” Matron Shuushan asked.

“That would be impossible,” the brewer smiled, “but without being semantic, yes. I have what we usually have.”

There was a whine and the ship shuddered causing all of the plath to feel strange.

“Was that what I think it was?” Geelshan asked dubiously.

“We just jumped,” Ynellosan replied.

“Is that going to affect things?” the leader of the RTS team asked.

“Nah,” Ynellosan replied, “If anything it makes things simpler. As of now we no longer exist within reality as we know it. Our entire universe is now this ship.”

“Will a fight mess anything up?”

“As long as we don’t damage the hyperdrive,” Ynellosan replied, “We need that to re-enter normal space. Other than that we are ok. The entire jump is already loaded into the drive internal computers. We can even blow up the navcomp and it will still…”

Her eyes glazed over.

“We cannot be taken by the bavnee...” she hisse

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

So this post is going to come off as a rant, but I’m not making it for that reason. You see all over different spaces of the internet I keep seeing the same narrative being pushed, that the Blood Ravens are all but confirmed Word Bearers, or that they are most likely sons of Lorgar. Now this annoys me a lot because a lot of the evidence for this theory is flawed which I will expand upon below, but it annoys me because its being spread to the wider more casual audience many of whom who are not as involved with the lore as people on this sub, and are absorbing it with no real critical engagement, as to whether what they are reading is actually true because they don’t have extensive knowledge of the lore to challenge what they are reading. Moreover by the time I normally come across these instances, they’ve been dead for 6 months and no one is around to hear the other side. I’m going to be discussing the main points of this theory, as well as little anecdotal arguments I’ve seen, and then discussing why I think most people have missed the point of traitor descended chapters, and as a Blood Ravens fan why I think people have somehow missed the point of them as well.

For evidence I will generally be referring to the index astartes 2019 version for the Blood Ravens, as well as other texts which I will cite as I use them.

Point One: The Name of things specifically Planet Aurelia. So one big point that I see universally is that there are some shared names, mainly that the BR used to inhabit a planet called Aurelia, and that Aurelia is similar to Aurelian. So here is the thing: Aurelia may be an old planet, the first reference I can find to a planet called Aurelia is in the 1999 short story collection Into the Maelstrom specifically the short story Children of the Emperor by Barrington J. Bayley. Now the story is about a Guardsman from the Aurelian IXth regiment (Aurelian in this instance, being a possessive of Aurelia). However the planet and regiment are inconsequential as you can basically change it and the story would be the same, as it only serves to give the protagonist of this story a background. Here’s the thing, this may not even be the same planet, as the BR’s Aurelia was a sector capital, whereas Aurelia in this story is an agri-world. The last publication of this short story was in the Let the Galaxy Burn anthology in 2006, and in 2009 with the release of Dawn of War 2 Aurelia was solidified as the homeworld of the Blood Ravens, and it has

I imagine this is going to get reactions ranging from "Galileo was punished for mere insolence" to "Sure Galileo was right, but the Church isn't infallible except when it comes to faith and morals" so I want to anticipate those responses. This is what was in the verdict issued by the inquisition court and delivered to Galileo by Pope Paul V himself via cardinal Robert Bellarmine:

>Proposition: The sun is the center of the world and completely devoid of local motion
>
>Assessment: All said that this proposition is foolish and absurd in philosophy, and formally heretical since it explicitly contradicts in many places the sense of Holy Scripture, according to the literal meaning of the words and according to the common interpretation and understanding of the Holy Fathers and the doctors of theology.

Galileo might very well have been prideful, and his work might have been derivative of others that came before him (i.e. Copernicus), but the threat the Church perceived was not simply Galileo's pride. They were afraid of the implications of the notion the earth wasn't the center of the universe, and that is explicit in that judgment. You might say the Church was just noting that Galileo's contention was against the established science of the early 17th century, and the verdict does make note of that (there wasn't a semantic distinction between science and philosophy at the time), but the verdict goes further and says Galileo's contention explicitly contradicts scripture, the church fathers, and the doctors of theology. I doubt many Catholics today would agree with that verdict, or else they'd have to toss out scripture. The earth evidently orbits the sun, not the other way around.

Now you might say this was example of God preserving the integrity of his church by not allowing Pope Paul V to turn this judgment into an ex cathedra official dogma, but I feel like this is just an excuse to not hold the Church to the standard it should be held to. A Catholic living in the 17th century would not have felt at liberty to hold a true belief about the world (that the earth orbits the sun) because it conflicted with what they would have understood to be the clear meaning of scripture that places the earth at the center of its cosmology (explicitly or implicitly). If Catholicism were true, I'd expect a significant and true insight such as heliocentrism to just "snap" into its framework for understanding the world. That didn't happen. Eventually, even though p

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.
