  De hecho eso suena re útil.

  That was their own money in impound. Trump is just giving it back. Like Obama was doing before Trump screwed it up.

  I had a Vietnamese student some years ago teach me this and I never looked back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. There’s very little funding for services that protect children. Foster children are commonly sent out of state due to lack of resources and are completely lost out in the system somewhere.

  I actually think that “schools of the future” will do this. Especially when mathematics are concerned. It does no good to get feedback a week after you have done the homework and already moved on to the next topic. Feedback should be immediate so that any errors in understanding can be corrected. The exception would probably be writing a paper, which can occur over at least several days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. The time to find that job that you really want is when you have the job you can get. Also everyone is applying for every position that even remotely touches their skillset whether they have the experience or not. This is just how it works these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨: Do people who were blind from birth see anything in their dreams, or is it just audio and textures?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Only a VERY tiny number of people see complete black. Most blind people are more functionally blind than literally so. That is, their vision is so bad that they need some sort of accommodation to adjust. They DO see the world but not in the way that typical vision does.

  I didn’t do the math but concluded that gold was the better value but harder to handle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They beat me to it haha! People into jazz, classical, world music, progressive metal, etc would certainly rate things vastly differently from people who listen to pop music alone. These studies only target the averagest of persons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Notable that this is only popular music. You might be surprised to find you follow the same trend if asked to rate Taylor Swift compared to Modest Mouse or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They did the survey repeatedly over 11 years and the line spores the average across all years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is America so surprised when they elected Trump? They bitched and moans how all politicians are liars, cheats, money hungry and so on. So now they got exactly that and they are surprised?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  About half of the right are people who hold certain beliefs and can talk about them. These people can recognize when they are wrong and make changes, though many of them will double down and vote their party no matter what. The other half is full of people who make the politics part of their identity, see it as a zero-sum game, and want to actively harm people they disagree with. The people who are surprised are on the first group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JP Morgan boss threatens to axe £3bn UK investment if Labour lurches to the left with Starmer replacement⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OK. So things would stay just as they are, no changes. Sounds like a fine compromise when getting a move to the left.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phishing attempt⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that (now) but I stand behind my statement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phishing attempt⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a member of the community this is just the whole “gay is bad” routine leveraged to steal money from bad people. It propagates discrimination.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And if you weren’t so toxic, I wouldn’t have blocked you just now. Grow up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve demonstrated my point perfectly. Those were exactly the personal attacks. Amazingly, I couldn’t even reference the topic without you needing to make it personal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Look at you demonstrating my point perfectly. Amazing. Have a block, no need to interact with toxic people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Things like:

  Democrats are really like the center right in Europe.

  That Arabs are semites.

  That I liked the ideas of communism but don’t believe that it has succeeded yet because the average person is not ready for it.

  Those things caused endless rage and personal attacks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I opened my first account on .ml. I knew nothing about it and it was not until much later that I knew what ML meant. I joined only because it was the devs’ server and I figured that I could be on the cutting edge. Then began several weeks of angry attacks on random comments until I figured out what was going on and came over to .world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An example: “Democrats are considered leftist in the US but are really center-right in Europe”. This inflamed the passions of the .ml-ites. You can buy it or not buy it but it won’t have any bearing on reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A kid in my semi hometown in arkansas said he was going to shoot up a wal-mart if we went on a hanta lockdown. He was arrested and everything. Can you really be charged fed for typing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I suspect that the mere utterance is enough for it to be a threat, even if a rational person would know it was not serious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A kid in my semi hometown in arkansas said he was going to shoot up a wal-mart if we went on a hanta lockdown. He was arrested and everything. Can you really be charged fed for typing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You live in a zero-tolerance world where that sort of scenario lead to the deaths of many people. It is a terroristic threat and people will take it seriously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do I constantly see testostorone being put into evreything from pills to candy bars but its illegal for trans men to get it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol you went in to attack and vent from the start. if you do this often, then you will experience backlash

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And it’s so strange to watch people getting personal. If you don’t agree wholeheartedly with what they are saying, they will make illusions to your blood line needing elimination.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I know but I am fine without having to see whatever they post.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The owner of my AirBnB has a dog named Kevin. His human-sounding name terrified me at first."⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Only useful if you’re going to a wedding or such with a group of people in an area without hotels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The owner of my AirBnB has a dog named Kevin. His human-sounding name terrified me at first."⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought we’d discovered that Air BnB is generally more expensive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I did the same a few years back and have never regretted it. Every once in a while I will see a comment from someone in .ml and feel a bit surprised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨.ml has got to be the only place on earth where I'd get downvoted for a comment like this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got banned in a hard way from a lot of those sub and not on purpose. A simple comment here or there would set off an attack storm from people who sort all comments by new and look for it.

  These people are no different than the militant PETA types.
