Oh boy, I didn’t spell the name of your favorite genocide right, that means it didn’t happen!

Democracy was supposed to do that. What would prevent a communist state from being usurped by capitalist interests (since capitalists are the ones who pay their bills)?

The Holodemor alone killed almost as many people as the Holocaust, and that’s just one item in a very long list of communist “whoopsies”.
- Comment on Hrmmmmm 1 day ago:
“Varying degrees of success” is a great euphemism for “more people killed than several holocausts”
- Comment on Hrmmmmm 1 day ago:
True communism is very democratic
Literately Marx himself called for a “dictatorship of the proletariat”. Which would then somehow magically give way to a true democratic government, as if any dictator on earth had ever just resigned out of their own accord.

Just as with Game of Thrones or Lost, I once again appreciate that someone else was willing to sacrifice themselves for me so I didn’t have to.

Correct. This did in fact happen in No Time to Die (though of course ::: spoiler he ends up gaining it back by the end of the movie :::)

- Comment on sushi delivery 1 week ago:
Honestly, I’ve see that more often in higher end sushi than in the cheap kind (i.e. grocery store takeout). Or perhaps it’s a bell curve, where the center consists of “this is expensive enough already, let’s not waste food by throwing parts of it away”.
I think ultimately, it really comes down to presentation. Cutting the roll after frying it exposes the center, which makes it look colorful and appetizing. If you battered and fried the pieces individually, they’d simply be brown on all sides and look like oversized pickle chips. It basically makes every piece into a (double) end piece.
- Comment on sushi delivery 1 week ago:
You can cut off the ends, and the middle SHOULD be undercooked (raw, in fact), that’s kinda the whole point of sushi.
- Comment on sushi delivery 1 week ago:
Sure, but that still adds unnecessary prep time.
If you’re making a roll from scratch, it’s simply faster, easier, and more practical to fry the entire thing before cutting it. But yes, if you wanted to do this with individual pieces, I’m sure that would probably work.
- Comment on sushi delivery 1 week ago:
Usually that’s done by battering and frying the entire roll before cutting it.
Doing it with individual pieces is possible, of course, but it massively increases the chance of overcooking the center, which usually is not desired.
- Comment on sushi delivery 1 week ago:
Well, if you’re already going to waste pack of sushi for the purpose of making a shitpost, might as well use the cheapest one you can find

- Comment on Let's learn some words in the Finnish language 1 week ago:
Oh, okay then. Thanks for the praise, I was literally just being lazy.
Technically, there are two different ch-sounds (in standard German, that is). One is softer and more akin to hissing, like in Milch, and one is sharper, like in brauchen.
If we’re sticking with the Spanish comparison, you could say the first one is kinda like Juan, and the second like José, though I guess that also depends a lot on the dialect. I don’t really know much Spanish tbh, so it could also be more like the difference between Spanish Spanish and Mexican Spanish. Basically what I’m saying is that the way j is pronounced in Spanish is the closest equivalent to how ch is pronounced in German that I could think of.
IDK if there are any specific rules, but which one is correct seems to be mostly based on the accompanying vowel.
A, O, U all generally use the harsher one: Bach, Buch, doch, Koch, Drache, Fluch
I and E generally seem to use the softer one: ich, dich, Blech, Pech
HTH

- Comment on Let's learn some words in the Finnish language 1 week ago:
I can’t quite tell if this is sarcasm or not, but either way, I would really recommend watching some YouTube videos on the topic, because pronunciation is a lot easier to communicate verbally.
Also, as the other commenter pointed out, I overgeneralized my statement and there are certainly words (like China or Chemie) that start with a ch that’s not commonly pronounced as a k (except in some dialects).
