  • I usually add context for this exact reason. You get lazy once, and there you go.

  • That's admirable! I looked it up in translate and got a completely different result. I think I know what was going on : ) 🦃

  • I think we can - but just see how many people in your country call Turkey Türkiye (they made a request back in 2022) - and that was just one country, not all.

  • It's like calling the entire country of the Netherlands Holland. Holland(ia?) is part of the Netherlands which gave the name of the country in a bunch of languages.

    This is weird, by the way, I just wrote about the exact same thing not too long ago.

  • Ever happen to you?

  • This always reminds me of our karate master back when I was going to trainings. One day his instruction was "one mawate zurück". We don't normally speak any of these languages.

  • What a great idea

  • I used to work at this kiosk which was inside a café. A customer wanted to pay from the inside, which can happen, but it's rare. Since the reader was cable wired to the plug at the window, I had to bring it to where he was standing, but the cable wasn't long enough. I pulled it out as much as I could, and waited for him to step forward and reach out with his card in his hand.

    He was just standing there, waving his card at the machine from ~3-4 feet away. Like, I don't know, at one point the card reader would go "HEY, that card is Larry! Hi, Larry, how are you doing, you old sonofabitch?"

  • Would you take pills that stop you from caring about the state of the world?

    Jump

  • In my opinion the world is at this shitty state exactly because so many people just don't care and turn a blind eye to so many injustices, awful things happening in the world. You can ignore the smell of smoke coming from the neighbour, but enough sitting around will just get your roof on fire, as well. Even if the fire avoids you, you could easily be the person burning inside while the neighbour is just "taking their pills", not caring about the state of the world.

    Had more people cared, we wouldn't see the same atrocities as back in and around WW2, Fascist states and semi-dictatorships running wild without anyone stopping them, white men oppressing minorities, etc.

  • Oh nooooooo

  • So they will be just called snakes.

  • know that most of the rest of the human race are decent

    The proportional amount of people who happily support these regimes, and/or don't care... I have doubts.

  • That's a fine summary there, thanks. I don't think #2 would be a real threat: it's a bit like if Instagram wanted to sue Facebook because it also has a "follow" button. I totally understand the rest, and either is more than enough reason. Well, I hope they get there once, though.

  • Haha, especially then! I wonder what's preventing the dev(s?) from making this possible.

  • I'm slowly starting to believe that a US started world war can only be prevented by a US started US civil war.

  • This engine is woke.

  • ok so is the whole usted being polite thing like asking "does her highness want more wine?" instead of addressing the person directly?

    Jump

  • Languages go through silly changes sometimes. I'm almost sure (after a whopping 0% of research) that it all happened because using the formal you sounded more polite/respectful. The weird thing is, in my non-English language speaking country, I grew up hearing that English people just "tú" everyone. And in all fairness, learning Spanish, a LOT of them "tú" everyone literally.

  • ok so is the whole usted being polite thing like asking "does her highness want more wine?" instead of addressing the person directly?

    Jump

  • The funny thing? English used to have 'thou', which was the equivalent of 'tú', and 'you', which was the equivalent of 'usted'. Then for some reason they just stuck with 'you', and 'thou' went out of fashion.

  • The car was turning and accelerating. From his position, all he had to do to avoid getting hurt was exactly the same as he was doing, minus the gun. He just had to step aside. Which he did. Not like the car was going fast, and it was turning away from him already. The gun literally didn't do anything to prevent a collision. If anything, she might have let the steering wheel go after the shot, making the car go straight instead of further turning away from the guy.

    At the point of the last shot, he was basically making sure to send a bullet after her.

  • I'm not an expert copolist, and I'm almost sure this is not the only reason, but it seems somewhat easier to keep crime at bay when not every four year old can just carry an AR15 with a rocket launcher and plasma gun attachment.
