It’s ironic, by trying to get them to hate each other he accidentally became something for all of them to rally against.

Major Payne already taught us that this works:

“They hate you!”

“Good. It’ll draw them close together, make 'em a team.”

Yeah I can always stand to put another thousand hours into Monster Hunter World.

I’m still going strong two years later! :D

I usually go with something like “the kindness of” in contexts like this. It has a bit of the “humble receiving” flavor of itadaku.

So, something like, “Thanks for the kindness of using the toilet cleanly,” or even “Thanks for doing us the kindness of using the toilet cleanly.”

Not perfect, but I think it does a decent job of preserving the vibe.

Yup, never let a pesky thing like the truth get in the way of a good story, especially when you have a vested ideological interest in it.

Had me in the first half.

“The right of free speech is only granted to those with mainstream ideas we already agree with.”

Got it. That’s a pretty messed up take, imo.

Never

Exactly. Cancelling visas is an atrocity when it’s people or ideas we like, but it’s laudable and warranted when it’s people or ideas we don’t.

Thanks! I’ll try it out!

Edit: I got it working! Þanks for ðe help! :D

It shortens two sounds the way they do it - the voiceless interdental fricative [θ] (think, bath) and the voiced interdental fritative [ð] (them, bathe).

If I were to do it, I’d use thorn for θ and eth (ð) for ð, but I can’t find a way to do so easily enough on Android for it to be worth it.

That’s what those phrases mean.

Lol, no it isn’t, but your tribalistic mischaracterization is noted.

English does have an above-average percentage of loanwords, but not the highest. Armenian and Romani are over 90% borrowings, for example.

Also, note that “smorgasbord” has undergone significant phonological adaptation in its borrowing to fit English’s phonotactics - it’s definitely not borrowed as-is.

“Basic empathy” is the American left’s equivalent of the right’s “common sense” - both are equally thought-terminating cliches.

This is called the “Right Hand Head Rule”; that is, the rightmost member of a compound in languages like English and German (almost) always acts as the “head”, the member that determines the grammatical information of the entire compound.

There are also many languages, such as Hebrew, with a Left Hand Head Rule, in which the leftmost member is the head (and Thai, as seen in a comment above!).

All languages borrow, including German. English is not at all weird in this way.

Check out the Youtuber Retro Game Corps. Excellent in-depth videos on these devices with a focus on price relative to quality.

This is his most recent overview video of the best handhelds in each price/performance category.

You can feel good about buying any of these, and not feel the need to go any deeper, but the video is 3 months out of date, so if you really want to determine what the absolute best is for you, you may want to watch some of the corresponding more recent vids for the price class you’re interested in.

Edit: My ideal was ultimately to buy a controller to attach around my phone (RGC makes these vids as well, and add-on controllers’ quality is surprisingly high nowadays) instead of buying a dedicated handheld, so you may also want to consider whether you can get the experience you want with the hardware you already have as well.
