  As opposed to doing something bad and hiding it?
  Is this an actual question or some political opinion about some camp?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A couple mates and I run askhistorians.lemmy.world. How can we get more people to post instead of myself all the time?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Trigger the leftists with the questions. Joke?
  I agree it’s hard to have specialized communities here due to the population size, except for the subject that were already the core interests of the people here like IT and left politics.

  Thank you for providing the link and quotes!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"No precedent in American history!" NYT would have defended child labor.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is the context of this quote? NYT’s journalist editorial, someone invited to write, someone quoted?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon dates a gymnast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon dates a gymnast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The 4chan meme reply is “fake and gay”, I was trying to find a gymnastics variation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon dates a gymnast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Flex and -
  I can’t find a gymnastic match for the second adjective.

  What’s the point of partying if not to poison your brain and infect your genitals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Languages⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As anything in French, there are expctions like “femme” et “monsieur” but they are fewer and more manageable than for English.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doesn't add up⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not the explicit role of government in a functional social democracy. Which the USA obviously are not

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again…⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I studied physics at university. Enrichied fuel used in nuclear power plants and the byproducts of the reactions are dangerous. The multiple security measures are not there for the pleasure of spending budget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New clean energy comes out. *look inside* It’s just boiling water again…⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The consequence of this legitimate fear is crazy security and the cost of it. To the point where the cost of nee nuclear now struggles to compete with renewables. The new generation plants EPR are catastrophic in terms of budget and schedule.

  It will depend on the people and how you approach them, some will be happy to learn your interest, some will expect that it goes both ways and some will not want to be bothered. That’s just normal human things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bit harsh?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I was giving another idea in case there is not expected use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bit harsh?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sense of wonder from discovering how different people from different places think similarly or differently of the same experiences, or different experiences you never thought about.
  Otherwise, maybe trying to interact with the immigrants probably covering the essential jobs in his small town that nobody else wants to do.

  Trust the power of repetition, check the Anki app if you haven’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon joins a shitposting group⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re are over interpreting a lot. I was simply expecting some American to come on and say America is two continents because that’s what you are taught, just as Latin culture people are taught it’s one continent. I’m not saying one is better than the other. By the way, it’s not a Europe thing, UK people are told the same as North Americans, it’s probably its origin. You could try asking for explanations before jumping to the agressive interpretation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon joins a shitposting group⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here it is. As I hinted above, conventional continent boundaries are cultural, not scientific. Have a look: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent#Number

  It’s une échappée from le peloton.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon joins a shitposting group⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re going to confuse Americans who are taught America is two different continents: North and South (difference with the Latin culture).

  When holes are closed enough that water cannot go through, I think it is valid interpretation of having an inside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way my partner eats avocado.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The notable difference with jam would be that avocado is already oily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The way my partner eats avocado.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are all the spoons dirty or something?
  Also, are they eating avocado with butter?

  I checked it up and couldn’t find any reference, it seems op is completely fabricated and not straight. The only interesting method that was temporarily effective was the introduction of specialized viruses, until they became more resistant. www.nma.gov.au/…/rabbits-introduced

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a rabbit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the first part ironic and the second not ironic? It’s not clear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In a hearing on data centers, a resident of Tyrone Township, Michigan, asked a simple question: Have you signed a non-disclosure agreement? Officials refused to answer⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing NDAs can really cover are true trade secrets that could cause actual damages to the company.

  Isn’t it very easy for companies to argue any confidential information/agreement would damage them?
