Space Force Chief Admits the US Is Actively Utilizing Orbital Weapons (futurism.com)

🌌 The US Space Force is like a self-fulfilling prophecy:

First they announce this:

"...Pentagon has definitively deployed active space-based weapons platforms."

Then they declare peaceful, untouched and shared Space: "Space is both a battlefield..."

Their counterparts around the world do the same, & these warmongers have brought us one step closer to turning the last frontier into a military conflict zone.

SPACE IS FOR ALL MANKIND - No leadership can change that!

How do you pronounce the Sx in Sxan?

And would you use be willing to replace the Sx with the appropriate IPA?

Lean into it.

Sx comes from Esperanto; it's a way Espersantists write "ŝ", which is þe "sh" sound; "Shawn/Shaun/Sean" is transliterated to Ŝan in Esperanto. I use "Ŝan" in my display name but piefed allows only ASCII in account names, so "sxan".

[–] schipelblorp@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's a pretty obscure phonetic reference. I was going to guess a Chinese transliteration for a voiced z sound.

It's less obscure in þe Esperanto communities, but yeah. It's not exactly common.
