  • Now we eat them on such a regular basis that if you're ever asking someone what eating something unknown is like, you'll often get "tastes kind of like chicken" as a reply.

  • Have you ever lived in a house with an orchard?

    I have. Three different one, actually. My back is still sore from having to clean them as a kid.

    And the signs I talked about hang on every fence from here the nearest citymarket.

    Both pollen and stinging insects at public places are bad for allergic people.

    That as well, yeah. With it and their messiness, it's a noble thought to have "free food available" but it's only a small time of the year, nothing anyone can rely on for food (with an orchard it's still a huge job to preserve a significant portion of the fruit, jams, pies, etc). So perhaps it's just better to have neat trees and leave the fruit where there already exists infrastructure for it; supermarkets.

  • When you buy fruit in the store, do you take the first apple you see, despite it clearly having fingerprints on it? Nah. You take the one behind it.

    That applied to fruits in cities equals a ton of fking work cleaning up streets of rotting apples.

  • Fair enough. Makes much more sense.

  • I have. I thought it was replaced with a newer console. The comment doesn't specify "crt tv" and it would be weird if that's how one would refer to tvs of that age. Having nes is much morr specific than just having a TV.

  • It's all of Northern Europe, not Finland especially.

    It's called "the right to roam" in English.

    All Nordics, Scotland, and even some more central European countries like Switzerland and Czech Republic have variations of it.

    And it is not the reason we don't plant fruit trees in cities. The reason we don't plant fruit trees in cities is theyre messy as fuck.

    Just think of how often you see buckets of apples labeled "omenoita ilmaseksi!" in the fall. Because people want to clean up their yards of all the rotten apples. Imagine that on every sidewalk.

  • That's more of a neologism, whereas "evilness" veers more toward the archaic.

  • Yeah, but not worse than just "bad", whereas "evilness" sounds worse compared to just "evil."

    My point is that it might not the most colloquial of English use, but MLK Jr didn't exactly speak vernacular either.

    So just because something sounds a tad off doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong. And in a lot of cases it's the opposite, because languages just keep evolving.

  • I thought exactly that. Opened the post, upvoted this thread.

    However couldn't not Google it, and it may be on purpose.

    evilness

    noun

    evil·​ness

    : the quality of being evil : badness

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evilness

    While it does sound better with just "evil", I wonder if they wished to exactly convey that what is being created is the quality of being evil in some people. All in all, that goes under the umbrella of evil, sure. But if we replace "evilness" with "badness", it no longer sounds worse than the alternative, just "inequality creates bad". Ofc you can't compare directly like that, I'm just trying to make the point that black civil activist haven't historically been that bad at language use, so perhaps we're just feeling the more colloquial version but that this may be prescriptively better, idk.

  • Well it is.

    And it's not a secret either.

    Trump is Putin's lapdog and Putin just wants to destabilise US and EU to level the playing field for Russia.

    Often Russian campaigns aim to disrupt domestic politics within Europe and the United States in an attempt to weaken the West

    Russia seeks to promote American isolationism, border security concerns and racial tensions within the United States through its disinformation campaigns
