Still better than Trump by a huge margin.

Will a republican judge see a fault in a married woman voting against her owners husbands wishes?

German here: if you take peaceful demonstration as an option away from people, they are left with two options: being resigned or non-peaceful demonstration. The German stance to hinder peaceful demonstration against the Israeli atrocities is stupid and labeling Greta Thunberg as primed for violence is beyond stupid. And the majority of Germans has no active memory of the 72 Olympics incident.

lol

There isn’t enough long-range armament hitting ground in Russia if they still have time, resources, and will for disinformation campaigns.

It was the remains of fish which we ground into powder and fed to other fish and sheep, whose remains we ground into powder and fed to other sheep and cows, whose remains we ground to powder and fed to other cows.

Just because the mode of payment changes with the technical abilities of the medium doesn’t change that.

Not according to German, French, and I suspect most of other european countries laws. Only torrenting copyright-protected content is against the law because you’re uploading the content (distributing) while downloading.

Would you call it piracy to yank out the ad insert from a free newspaper and throw it into the trash without looking at it? Because that’s the exact analog from the non-digital world. Just because the mode of payment changes with the technical abilities of the medium doesn’t change that.

What is more racist, though? The average cop or the average LLM? I’d wager a guess it’s the average cop. So, it would still be a net benefit.

Breaking Bad and Avril Lavigne in one meme about linux vs windoze … what a ride …

Aww, you angry you didn’t get the green grayon

Slams!

Hamas is not at that point.

So, how many bombs still need to be dropped on Palestine to get them there?

Just to be clear: are you talking about the Palestinian terrorists or the Israeli terrorists?

From wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender

The term cisgender was coined in 1994 as an antonym to transgender, and entered into dictionaries starting in 2015 as a result of changes in social discourse about gender.[4][5] The term has been and continues to be controversial and subject to critique.

I think there’s some confirmation bias on your end here. The local community (including me) tends to be young and liberal and knows the term cisgender. I’d bet that the majority (by a huge margin) of English speakers (including as a second or third language) has never even heard the term cisgender or doesn’t know what it means. Lots of them will react negatively if you label them cisgender out of pure ignorance and false assumptions - no transphobia needed.

Only complete asshole transphobes do. Honestly, not even they do. They just lie about it as a gotcha.

Sure, they exist. But what’s their percentage of the population or the X user base? I think you’re making a false generalization by an invalid extrapolation.

And just to be clear: I’m not saying cisgender is a slur. I’m just pointing out that the notion that community A or an individual can decide whether some word is a slur or not in community B is ridiculous, and that the argument, from the first comment I replied to, for technical correctness or intended meaning of a word is irrelevant for who considers what a slur.

I hope that made my point clearer to your dry-nosed primate’s brain.

Germany.

I guess I have my answer ;) I don’t know Russian but I know enough Ukrainian to know you’re talking about French and Italian, lol.

I said that I hate French specifically and that I regret never having learned Italian properly. In German I said that I have no problem with learning new languages if it wasn’t for lack of time.

Not quite sure what you hate accoustically about French, […]

Reading and writing French is OK(ish, if I didn’t vocalize it in my head). I really hate the sound of that language. It sends shivers down my spine. I think for one thing I prefer harder/rougher sounding languages. Also, I’m an unforgiving person. We were told we can start learning a third language when we are in 7th grade. I was pondering whether to pick up Russian, Italian or Swedish. Then 7th grade comes around and the school’s like: Yah, you can choose between French and Latin. Well, fuck you too school. I hate our school system for this (and other reasons) to this day.

but you seem to like German

Being German, I’m kind of stuck with it. Not that I particularly dislike it, though.

If you’re comparing to Spanish (among others), I guess the overall stressing of sounds in a sentence is pretty different, too.

I dislike French, the language, not the people. I slightly dislike Spaniards, but not their language. Italian people speak loudly because they talk across the street. Spanish people do that while standing right next to each other. I think I’ll never get used to that.

Also, what kind of French did you have to learn?

French French.

[…] which tends to indicate you’re Canadian.

Ha! Show me one comment where I apologized ;-)

I always had better grades in French than in English. Which bothered me, because I hated French almost from the start and thought English was/is much more important.
