When learning a language, you don’t do literally everything by the book. In the real world you have to figure it out and extrapolate from incomplete information, and sometimes you get it a bit wrong.

From a few minutes playing on an autotranslator, it appears that Norwegan uses the same word for male/man and female/woman. Like the noun and adjective versions are the same word with different conjugations. A Norwegan learning english as a second language can quite reasonably be unaware that there is a distinction there.

It’s pretty normal to use male and female when specifying gender as an adjective. Man and woman are nouns. Calling a professional a female manager, or male teacher is normal english grammar. Using male or female as a noun is the red flag, which upon re-reading they also do… hmmmm

But OP constantly genders the channel instead of the creator which feels more non-native english speaker to me. They post about european stuff and in norwegean. Don’t read too much into it.

I have driven a lot in the west, and what you see is just automobile infrastructure, which is pretty much the same everywhere and incredibly ugly.

The interesting sites require you to hike away from the roads.

You can live your life however you like, and you can be trans however you like. There is no trans checklist, no trans authority mandating you do all the things and fill out all the forms. There are no rules or requirements. Be yourself. Do whatever suits you best!

I am not a christian. I am not familiar with the specifics of its teachings, but I do know people who are both trans and christian. A friend of mine is a devout christian who found a way to reconcile his faith with trans issues after one of his children came out. These differences are reconcilable, and you’ll surely find it in time.

Hi Amber, I wish you the best!

Dumb drivers could just take the middle highway backwards to save time because the highways are magical.

Cats don’t meow to each other. Meowing is what they do to get attention from humans. Cats understand cat body language, they have no need of meows to communicate with other cats.

Never meow back. Cats don’t do that. If you meow back it shows that you’re not a cat.

The law requires consent to record. Its not a contract or license to only use it for those things.

Not everything is AI.

Its clearly an architectural rendering using stock assets. Look at the beds, the sheets are near the foot of the bed, but at a slight angle. But every bed has the sheets at the exact same distinctive angle despite different textures. Every desk and bedside table are also identical.

That’s not how AI image generators do it, as they often struggle to draw the same thing the same way twice even when asked.

No, this is a human designed and rendered space by someone with little experience.

Consent is a weird word in the context its used for private recordings. A better word for laypeople would be disclose or notice. In those states you just have to mention that you are recording.

The consent is not an active agreement to be recorded, but a passive consent by continuing the call after the notice is given.

“This call may be recorded” does mean you may record the call.

Taxes can, and should go over 100% of income. Billionaires have enough assets to live without income.

I was expecting to see this from the headline alone.

I recall doing an online gender test on IDR labs. In some testing, if you filled out the responses by self describing with personality traits that are generally seen as good, the result is 100% woman.

If you fill it out as a complete asshole the result is 100% man. The bias is real.

Most people are citizens of where they also live and give birth so this distinction doesn’t come up in most cases. But for children born to immigrants or travelers it does.

Citizenship can either be assigned by where you were born, or who you were born to.

Birthright citizenship, as we use the term in the US, is mostly a new world invention. In nearly all countries in the americas, any children born here are citizens without exception. No matter the parents, no matter the circumstances.

In the old world, most countries require a parent to be a citizen in order for the child to also be a citizen.

Generally if an american couple gives birth in Europe, the child will just be american, despite where they were born. If a European couple gives birth in any of the americas, their child will be a citizen of the americas, despite anything else

Going from 1 to 3 is tripling. 0-3 is undefined you cannot divide by zero, and tripling zero is still zero.

What advice do you have for absolute beginners? I have never fired or even handled a firearm. Interested in eventually getting a CCW, but no idea where to start.

How late do sporting events run? I don’t attend sporting events. But from checking TTC’s subway schedules, the last train is after 1:00. Is that not late enough?

I’m presenting as fem as I can and I’ve been on HRT 7 months, and my own thoughts still misgender me. Not always, but sometimes.

It doesn’t actually feel different being a woman, or being on estrogen. I find most people mistake the feeling of being alive with being a specific type of person. I’ve heard retired family members say they still feel like they’re in their 20s, and I feel similarly from transitioning. Being alive feels the same regardless, you will still be yourself no matter what happens.

Even now I still get a bit startled when I see myself in a mirror and instead of saying, “that’s me,” my brain thinks, “that’s a woman.”

Your self image may change, but it takes more time than I’ve spent trying.

Pay attention to the words that are bolded and highlighted.

Its a placebo we were here already.
