  • These types of window are great until you want to get AC in a rental & realize that you now need to attach 1-2 hoses to them whilst also getting a good seal. Then you'd actually prefer the American style slide-up windows (ask me how I know) :/

  • can't seem to find any though

    I think there are some female generals in the upper right corner, but the resolution is too low to be sure

  • Honestly, that doesn't make it much better. I always viewed the cats my family used to have as family members, but they were anything but children.

    The way @captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works put it captures it quite nicely. They rely on their owners for certain things, but they are not children and their personalities do not match that.

    Referring to them a such gives me the ick because a) it infantilizes beings which, well, simply aren't children, b) at the same time humanizes them too much. And, paradoxically, c) makes me think of the kind of people who carry dogs around in their handbags and essentially treat them more like plushies rather than actual living beings. Just doesn't sit right with me.

  • Am I the only one who finds it really weird when people refer to themselves as mom or dad of their pets? Yikes

  • German seems extremely hard

    I always wonder where that sentiment comes from. Sure, the Grammar is a bit more complex than in English, but afaik it's still considerably simpler than say Polish.

    Plus,they're fairly closely related, given that they're both Germanic languages. The writing system is the same, German spelling actually makes sense most of the time, etc. Sure, English imported lots of vocabulary from Romanic languages that German does not have, but learning vocabulary is imho one of the easier aspect of language learning.

    Consequently, the FSI classifies German as a category II language, ranging from I (including i.e. Dutch) to IV (which contains Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic), I being the easiest and IV the hardest.

    The Chinese writing system alone is enough to discourage people from learning the language up to a fluent level…

  • I mean, technically there would be more direct measures, like using artillery to blow up infrastructure or destroying crop with flamethrowers.

  • Ooh nice, thanks :)

    I recognized 打 as something on the lines of hitting or striking, but wasn't sure if it actually had that meaning here, or something (seemingly) unrelated as in 打的.

  • I don't know all the words in this, but I doubt it; it's a classic Chinese tongue twister.

    The first line translates to "four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty. On the second & third line it's something along the lines of "whoever says 40/14 says X>, sth> 40/14", as far as I can tell.

    No, I don't want to use a translator, where's the fun in that?

  • Only the first season

    FIFY

    Although I actually found the movie quite tolerable.

  • Is everything alright with his eyes? Looks like he's blind.

  • Not fair

  • Gotta say, using 3 just feels like giving up due to laziness, even in 1200BC.

    Also it's interesting how the Chinese entries basically stop between 1400 and 1949, whereas European names are far more present during this era. Some Japanese ones, too. I wonder how comprehensive this page is.

  • And yet, translators are losing their jobs left and right, from what I hear. Sure, quality has gone down, but most people don't seem to care. Plus, in a lot of cases, instead of the AI doing all the work, translators proof-read AI generated texts and correct the worst mistakes. Fewer translators can translate more at a lower price this way.

    Does the quality still go down a bit that way? Probably. But again, who cares? Not the people spending money on translations, that's for sure.

  • I can hardly even imagine one that's worse

  • My day was going great until I got reminded that that thing exists…

  • Kann ich bestätigen, wenn ich nicht wenigstens einmal (eher zweimal) die Woche meinen Fix kriege, werde ich mittlerweile hibbelig.

  • It is indeed, yes.

  • Pizzacakecomics is on the frontpage of reddit exactly because it’s heavy-handed and only mildly funny.

    Okay, fair. I just wish I could escape them – which is rather hard if the people voting stuff to my Lemmy frontpage have just as poor taste as the average redditor.

  • Youre right, but that doesn't make this comic – or the others made by the same creator – any better.

  • it’s pretty absurd that anyone would deny it.

    True, but then again it's exactly what you'd expect from them these days. And even if it wasn't – this comic is so darn plump I have a hard time seeing it as satire.

    Plus, the creator drawing both caracters as ugly braindead idiots makes up half the 'joke' here. If ones satirical abilities are so non-existant they need to degrade the physical appearance of their opponents (however vile their views and actions may be) in their works, maybe it's just time to give up and do something they don't completely fail at.
