What ideology they claim to believe in is inconsequential.
Do you think of China as being actually communist?
I don’t.
Russians managed it. No matter what -ism was or is in fashion.
- Comment on The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement 21 minutes ago:
no context. It wasn’t clear you meant Russia.
Uh, it’s literally the First Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from the time that he was in power.
“No context”
Fkin lol. You can’t be serious?
You’ll probably disagree with Putler being wanted by the ICC for warcrimes as well? Or at least make some excuse for how he’s not responsible or how the ICC or the UN are somehow the bad guys or smth?

He didn’t say “I”, he said “we”. And the “we” in that sentence was Soviet Russia. Soviet Union is clearly no more, but modern day Russia has inherited a lot of policies and values from them.
At which point do you think they just gave up on thinking the US as their enemy?
Because there was a small conflict that went on for literally decades after Khrushchev’s death.
So idk why you’re trying to pretend like “funny shoe man” was waging a personal war against the US when he was the leader of a world power?

- Comment on I just dont seem to ever learn 1 hour ago:
I feared as much. People used to do that a lot instead of rinsing the pot out and making a new pan. Everyone just like “no no there’s still enough for someone to probably want the last bit”.
Dad used to do it at home as well back when I still lived with him like 20 years ago. I’m not much of a perfectionist, but this somehow gets to me idk why.
- Comment on I just dont seem to ever learn 1 hour ago:
Yes, which is exactly why it shouldn’t be like that. I know you probably did it so that the hotplate won’t heat up the glass for nothing, which is fine, albeit unnecessary and slightly disturbing to my psyche. Unnecessary insofar that the hotplate won’t crack the glass, it’s not exactly that hot, the pot’s good glass and usually cracking happens when you suddenly cool a hot glass object, not just by heating it.
I can’t tell you the times that people have left it like that while there still is coffee, and then it’s gotten awkwardly room temperature. Which is why I’m sort of sore about that.

All of that would make sense yeah. If the cheapest alternative wasn’t 650$ a month.
Got to say as someone from the Nordics that this shit is beyond ludicrous and honestly they’re playing Jenga with the whole of American society, begging for an armed revolution.
Which could be argued to have already started. Image

If only my mom had had half the motivation to look after my education as yours did. Hell, even a tenth.
I didn’t do bad, but I could’ve done much better weren’t it for the hindrances that mom didn’t care about.
- Comment on How has it been so long? 5 days ago:
Dad got it on VHS from a service that was sort of the Netflix of the time. (Not Netflix though, although the company prolly got the idea from Netflix. Original Netflix began in 97 but in Finland Netflix started operating in 2012, with streaming.)

So you just refuse to believe in science. Alright. You do you.
- Comment on Off topic 5 days ago:
Subtitles may well improve literacy, but I would expect that fostering the same love of reading that everyone else in my family has is probably better.
“This scientific effect may well be true, but I’m ignoring it!”
You’re taking this extremely personally for some reason. You clearly said you “detest subtitles”. So you’re not gonna use them, even if there was science saying that they will help?
Why do you think using subtitles would subtract from “fostering the same love of books everyone in my family has”?
I’m not presuming anything. You literally said “I detest subtitles”.
You’re gonna not use them even if they helped your children to learn how to read and even after they know how to read, improved their literacy?
Are you gonna offer either subtitled TV or foster a love of reading in them without showing them any tv? Because if you’re gonna “foster some love of books” in them anyway, but that they are going to still use TV. Then why not add the benefit that using subs have scientifically been shown to have by putting them on? Because you “detest” reading while watching a movie more than a you do having your kids learn?

Almost as if I’m a compulsive reader!
I have never met a person who has said “I couldn’t see the movie/show from all that reading I had to do”. And in the movies there’s subtitles in two different languages, while a third one is being spoken. (Officially bilingual country and city so all shows at the theatre have both Finnish and Swedish subs.)
I’m not presuming anything. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying the “visual medium”. You’re just not used to reading, clearly, meaning you’re probably not a big reader.
I’m from a country which prefers subs over dubs, and my personal experience (and studies such as the one Stephen is talking about) has shown that keeping subtitles on will improve literacy.
You say you have a newborn. So I thought it would be a good time to suggest that maybe you should try getting used to subtitles, because if you do, then you can keep them on by default and increase your child’s (and anyone else watching) literacy, just by doing that.
No-one is saying you should do this thing or that thing. Studies are showing that literacy improves if you use subtitles. That’s it. End of story. Not even a suggestion as to what you should do or how you should value literacy as a skill.
You do you man.
The only subs that really bother me are hardcoded asian subs with a hard black background, taking like a third of the screen and I don’t even understand the text. But then I just delete that version of whatever it was and find a new one. So I do understand personal preference and wanting to not have needless things you aren’t used to.
You make you own choices, I can’t, or rather won’t make suggestions. Not my place. But I can say what I think is factual. Like “using subs improves literacy”.

My brain can’t opt out of reading them.
Neither can your kids. And that’s a good thing. Not much into reading, are you?

So… Theyre complaining that his own time he put in was a donation worth over 500€ and he failing to disclose that, he’s made a mistake that can result in… dismissing the whole movement?
Seriously. How is it possible every fucking day there’s something that just steps over the line, despite the line moving every day.
It’s beyond impossible to do any sort of political satire currently ffs
- Comment on High quality sticker though 1 week ago:
Just as a reminder to some Americans, intact penises look like that when they’re not erect, because it’s the job of the foreskin to protect the most sensitive part of your body, until you want to actually use it.
They do not look like that when erect though, or if they do and you’re not a teenager with phimosis, then I don’t know wtfs going on. See a doctor prolly.
