Which country(s) are you talking about? In n the case of Iran, the western meddling installed the Shah who was a secular force, overthrown by the extreme Islamists.

That’s nothing to do with Carney… What aren’t I getting?

Wait how has Mark Carney bent the knee?
- Comment on This community in one meme 3 days ago:
It’s not really a difference in English, either. “Venom” is a specific term, but “poison” is general, so too with poisonous.
I think it’s specific in some scientific areas, but insisting on that is like insisting on calling a tomato a fruit, or a banana a berry.

This is going in circles, so let’s end it here.

Right. Guess that’s why everyone and their dog was expanding EV production and charging in 2012. Pull the other one.
No disagreement on trillionaires but it also has nothing to do with anything

There’s more than one kind of vision. Investing in something important, speaking loudly about it, shows vision, and he did that. You can be a capitalist douche and a visionary at the same time.

Just shut up? It’s very simple.
- Comment on The three archetypes 6 days ago:
Sorry, “musk bad” is just a more important vibe than creating the Model S and a charging network at a time when electric cars were Nissan Leafs that could go five miles and then overhead.
None of the people downvoting you had these opinions in 2015. Musk is a nazi cunt but that doesn’t mean he didn’t have vision back then. Unfuck your heads.

How much brain rot do you have that those overly verbose videos seem like a better alternative than a quick writeup?

Given that everyone’s watching porn either on small sites flying under the UK radar or through a VPN/Tor now, what will this achieve exactly?

That is a hilarious fucking headline even for the canary.

Fake and boring

“Wizard” historically had a negative connotation though.
It’s to be expected that an old suffix can have multiple meanings.

I think you probably get the point.

The null hypothesis isn’t “devil’s advocate” it’s just where you start from with no other information.

With just your eyes… And a big lake or sea… And a ship… And the knowledge that water lies level.
Similarly it’s not exactly understood from birth that lunar eclipses are the earth’s shadow.
You gotta work all these things out and make more complicated observations than just looking at the horizon.

I’d call the mode on the machine “boiling wash” or “hot wash” (which is probably 60 degrees rather than 90). But from other comments I’m understanding that Germans separate laundry into “Kochwäsche” and some other part(s), and there is no general term for that because it’s not common.
- Comment on justgermanthigs 1 week ago:
Because “kochen” isn’t a good translation for the english word “to cook” - at least not in all scenarios. When used with an object (etwas kochen, like Wäsche) it means more like “to boil” or “to brew”. So you “kocht Kaffee” (but one never “cooks coffee"). And it certainly is not true that you “ein Steak kocht”! So there’s an overlap in meaning but it’s not the exact same thing.
This makes kochen a partial false-friend!

Oh, thanks for linking that

This is about sustainability, presumably farming salmon is sustainable.

You sound like someone who thinks an nft is something other than a certificate.
- Comment on thanks for this, Riri. us nymphos don't get enough mainstream representation😔 1 week ago:
amen!
- Comment on After the 6th payment the burrito is mine 💀💀💀 1 week ago:
Yes that’s also true… I would venture that it’s not as useful in general to understand the concept though :)
- Comment on After the 6th payment the burrito is mine 💀💀💀 1 week ago:
The correct understanding of NFTs has always been trivial: they’re certificates. What they certify is not determined.
Anyone telling you anything else is either lying, or a moron (or has been lied to, which is not incompatible with being a moron).
- Comment on Government confirms broadcast‑style regulation for Netflix, Disney+ and more 2 weeks ago:
Seems then like there’s no real reason to block applying the rules to streamers while trying to prosecute GB news.
What I didn’t realise when writing my first comment was that GB News has already been fined for breaching Ofcom rules.
- Comment on Government confirms broadcast‑style regulation for Netflix, Disney+ and more 2 weeks ago:
Why? Streamers are way bigger than GB News in terms of viewership.
