  • Back around 2010, my girlfriend of the time ended up on someone's page detailing how to pick up girls, and shortly prompting readers to buy their pheromone based product (obvious scam, but that's not the point now). She got super upset. Outraged, even. She went on a rant about how she's not a fucking moth that can just be lured by silly simple stuff like that.

    About a year later we took part in a competition where two attendees (2 girls, maybe a year or two younger) were desperately looking for accommodation. One of our rooms was empty that day, so we offered that to them with another flatmate (my GF wasn't around that day).

    When she had heard about the whole thing, she got rather jealous. Didn't matter how much I explained it to her that I am boringly faithful, that I only love her and I didn't care about the girls romantically, or that I have always been like this: in her mind, if a guy is "alone" with 2 girls for the night (daytime is fine, but mystically, horny zombification happens at full moon), he will be as easy to seduce as it gets, not matter what (like any of those two girls wanted anything, anyway).

    Am I a fucking moth, then? It goes both ways.

  • The more offended this demented narcissistic fascist feels, the more unhinged he gets. He moved on Venezuela for a reason, as well. We definitely shouldn't just watch this madness and do nothing. But if he sees that the rest of the kindergarten forms an alliance leaving him out, moreover, doing it against him, his fragile ego will shatter again, and he will start throwing mud at everyone.

    Except what he has is not mud but the planet's strongest army.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
