- Comment on What should I do about my family? 1 week ago:
There’s something to be said, about people that only come up with problems. Instead of presenting solutions. (Im talking about them, not you)
I’m not going to say i can relate too much. I was very much the opposite of you as a child. But I was also supposed to be perfect, Most things came easy to me. I was smart, I got top grades, I was active in acrobatics, but sometimes when I didn’t know things. Instead of politely explaining it to me. I was often met by “WHAT!? You don’t know this?? They don’t teach you this? We were taught this at a much younger age than you”. Ok. Cool.
Which obviously made me feel stupid. No matter how good I was. It was never enough. No matter how well i built something, it was never good enough. And no matter how far i could run. It wasn’t far, or fast enough.
If I couldn’t do to it on my own, no one was going to help me either. I was praised for being independant. But the reason I were, was because I learned early on, very early on. That no one is ever going to help me. I need to be able to do everything on my own. Otherwise nothing will get done. And that came back to bite me in the ass many years later.
So my advice to you. Try to see of you can seek professional help, ask your school if they know of any resources for mental health. Because trust me on this one. It would be so much better if you could get help now. Rather than 15-25 years later.
They can’t fix the problems with your family. But they can help you find tools to deal with it. And it also feel pretty nice to talk to someone that can listen and understand.

It’s also about just being familiar with the controllers in general.
- Comment on Republicans are arguing over if trans people can play sports while the world laughs at us 1 week ago:
I know this is a tough pill for americans to swallow. But lots of countries does not allow trans-athletes to compete in the women’s class.
The international organisation for track and field, and also the IOK have already said that transathletes are not allowed to compete with women (for now).
Though I absolutely agree that US politicians are experts at exaggerating and trying to blow the smallest issue out of proportion for headlines.
And it’s sad the American people are too uneducated to see through the charade.
I would laugh at the US, if it wasnt for the fact that people’s lives are ruined forever on a daily basis.

Yes. They use the english name when talking about the object in english. So what? In Sweden our scientists call Luna for “Månen”. Because that’s the name in our language. But the standard of naming things in latin stems from that every scientist will speak the same language.
If you want to gather studies about dogs. You’ll be very limited if you only know their english name. So instead you’ll use the latin name. Canis Familiaris. And all of a sudden you will find studies from all across the world.
Yes, they have been naming species after people and things. Those that discover a species will often get the naming rights. But they still have a latin name.
Platysaurus attenboroughi.
It’s in latin. And because of that. Every single scientist that are familiar with the concept of how we name species will see that the species Platysaurus Attenbiroughi is in the Platysaurus genus, and saurus means that’s it’s a reptile.
Euptychia attenboroughi.
So we know that this is an animal in the Eutychia genus. Named after Attenborough.
Trigonopterus attenboroughi
By now you should know what genus this animal is in. And that’s why we give them latin names.
If we just called then all “attenboroughi” it would be really fucking confusing about which animal it is we’re actually talking about.
Just because you don’t know that you use any latin. Doesn’t mean the useage have decreased.
Latin isn’t going anywhere. Our entire scientific understanding of life on earth is built on the back of latin. It’s the language all scientists speak.
So when a doctor writes in the journal that you have a fracture in your femur. Every other doctor on the planet earth will know which bone it is he was talking about.

Ah, I was wondering why NASA kept talking about “Trans Lunar Burn” and “Lunar orbit” instead of “Trans moonar burn” and “moonar orbit”. So silly to talk about “circumsolar orbits” when it’s clearly “Circumsunar orbit”.
The only major exception is Earth, where orbits around us are called out in english, more specifically, the initials. LEO, MEO, HEO. The L stands for “Low”, so I’m sure you can figure out what the M and H stands for.
And no, using latin to name things have not been falling out of fashion. Every time we discover a species (which we still do, every single day), their species are immediately named in latin.
And lots of things, are still called by their latin names in English. e.g. (exempli gratia) Virus. Alibi. Malfeasance. Agenda. Incalculable. Modicum. Mundane. Ambiguous. Bacteria. Naive. Atrocity. Cull. Debilitate. Et Cetera.
I could go on but you get the point. Latin is everywhere. You just didn’t know that it’s Latin to begin with.
- Comment on Anon has seen it all before 2 weeks ago:
It’s called “the sun” in English yes. Now, this is going to sounds crazy, but hear me out on this one… There are other languages than English. And I’ve heard rumors, that scientists across the world are all using this weird one called “Latin” when it comes to naming stuff.
- Comment on Pie in the face. 2 weeks ago:
At least now they have reintroduced “tjänstemannaansvar” (public servant accountability). And when I say now I actually mean, pretty much now. It went into effect 1 august of this year.

It was not. It’s actually a pretty recent.

Funny story, here in Sweden, our speaker of the parliament was visiting a school to speak. Someone threw a “banana or part of a banana”. Bodyguards “aprehended” the boy until police arrived and the boy was interrogated at the police station.
The speaker then started a criminal suit against the boy (who was 16) with the charge of disorderly conduct. The damage was noted as, a stained shirt.
According to the speaker, incidents like this could cause politicians to not want to speak at schools (oh no… how will the children cope?)
Anyway, people are calling him out as the clown he is. And i’d be very surprised if gets to keep his post after our election (regardless of who wins)

And on top of that I’d suggest taxing corporations. Instead of doing the opposite of bgiving them tax exemptions

Or they could have just sat home and not blow up their entire arsenal in Iran. While selling those weapons to EU that is buying them to donate to Ukraine.
That alone would have been enough. Without even increasing taxes on anything

I never said it was a red v blue thing. Just that neither will give it to you. One will try to give you something else because the want you to think you might get it. While the other will just tell you up front to get lost
- Comment on Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing. 2 weeks ago:
Is it because instead of trying to improve the lives of people in a meaningful way. They think giving everyone a puppy will be the solution?
While not once realising that 350 million puppies is going to require some serious imports, quarantines, vacinations, construction of holding facilities (i guess they could repurpose their concentration camps), employees to oversee the puppies while in quarantine, vets to administer vacines. Janitors and cleaners to maintain the premises.
So… instead of just giving everyone universal healthcare. They’ll spend twice as much on puppies. That sure does sound like the US in a nutshell

You do not need to know coding to “fix” problems in Linux. We’re not living in 2006 anymore.
As someone that uses both Linux and Windows. Linux is by far easier to fix problems in. That doeant mean everything is easy. But it is easier. And the fixes are actually fixes, rather than a small patch you put on, hoping it won’t leak again.
The thing here is that most regular PC users have been on Windows for so long that they don’t even remember they had to learn how to use windows once upon a time.
I’ve been in IT support. And let me tell you. The ammount of times i had to create a vbs, bat, or powershell solution. (That’s actual coding and scripting) to fix problems in windows are far more frequent than you’d ever imagine. Not to mention all the times I’ve had to go into the windows registry and alter, remove, or create new regs.
I’m not saying Linux is the best. And I’m sure Linux has some super annoying fanatics. But to say that it has more problems than windows, or that those problems are more difficult to solve is just not true. At least not from my experience in IT
It’s fine for you to think Linux sucks. If that’s your opinion that’s your opinion. But your reasoning does not align with the reality of the situation.
- Comment on This Did Not Age Well 4 weeks ago:
Expand your view. Trumps actions damages the entierty of the US on a global scale. That’s damage that cannot be undone.
Everyone in Europe that previously used US services and products are now looking elsewhere. Including weapons manufacturing
No one can trust the US for anything that spans longer than 4 years.
The real damage of Trumps presidency isn’t going to be seen in the US for another 10 years.

I suspect this is legal because “under aged” in the US doesnt explicitly mean “under 18”, since the legal drinking age is 21.

- Comment on In Open Carry states, is it also allowed to openly carry bladed weapons like Swords? Bow and arrow? 4 weeks ago:
Funny thing about that. Someone here in Sweden emailed the police if it was legal to own a trebuchet or if you needed a weapons liscense for it. (The police issue weapon licenses)
The response was that of course no one has ever tried, so there is no formal ruling. But crossbows require a weapons license while bows do not. Because the crossbow can store the energy. So leaning on that reasoning. It would probably require a license.
But I love that the question was asked to our police, and that they gave a serious and thorough answer.
So, technically. As long as you’re not breaking any traffic related laws. It is not illegal to mount a trebuchet on a roadworthy wagon and tow it behind your car.

Oh but we are here to answer your stupid questions?
Yes… that’s the entire point of this community.
why the fuck are you interested in the stupid rules of a barbaric uncivilized psychopathic society?
Because knowledge and curiosity leads to personal development. You should try it.
It is a bit funny though that you hate the US this much but still use their spelling of words. 👌
- Comment on In Open Carry states, is it also allowed to openly carry bladed weapons like Swords? Bow and arrow? 4 weeks ago:
I do find it hilarious that you might be allowed to openly carry a firearm, but a bow with arrows, that’s where we draw the line!
Perhaps in the context of that bow and arrow is silent? Where as you cannot discharge a firearm without anyone knowing.
- Comment on In Open Carry states, is it also allowed to openly carry bladed weapons like Swords? Bow and arrow? 4 weeks ago:
Because i specifically asked about open carry states. And you start talking about the “rest of the world”.
We’re not here to debate or discuss your personal opinions.

What part of “open carry states” confused you? I don’t live in the US, not that it matters. I was curious about it.
- Comment on In Open Carry states, is it also allowed to openly carry bladed weapons like Swords? Bow and arrow? 4 weeks ago:
Interesting. Because i was just thinking, an arrow knocked but undrawn, how is that any different from having a gun in your holster, bullet in the chamber.
Knives i get, because of the concealment issue. But an actual sword worn on the hip in a scabard. It’s not concealed. And I’d argue far less dangerous than a gun.
Not that rules or laws are under obligation to make sense, unfortunately.
