Also too cold? Maybe

Country borders exist to contain the proletariat and allow avenues of escape for the bourgeoisie.
A government that makes demands of this regime paints a target on their backs.

Is this just a hypothesis or was there some basis for this thinking?

Have you not also heard that republican accusations are actually confessions?
- Comment on What are we being distracted from? 1 week ago:
Whatever product or service the US’s huge payments to Israel are for.
Why are we sending money to them? What’s the good or service being transacted?
Whatever that is, that’s what they’re distracting us from.

Plenty of people are answering your question, so let me give you a warning. If you put a gift card to an obscure store or punch card for a barbershop in there, you will absolutely forget you have it.

Probably AI
- Comment on If the color of the Sun was orange, wouldn't the clouds and everything white also be orange? My friend is adamant that 30 years ago the "real" Sun was orange but got replaced with a white LED. 3 weeks ago:
Is your friend RFK?

If I am then I was very advanced for my creation date.

Precisely, thus they are the more similar to toddlers. Make sense?

There are such places.
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 month ago:
Great attitude you got there
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 month ago:
Not Italy perhaps, but there are such places.
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 month ago:
We do. That’s exactly what the “toddler”-insulter is lambasting.

I don’t know about Slovakian, but such places exist, yes.

Oh, pardon me, I forgot you’re allowed to find someone seeking a path forward in life as dreadfully inconvenient, because where you were born grants you superiority, m’lord

Not new. Aircraft carriers exist.

The phrase is typically used to refer to babysitting, i.e., I’ll make sure the kids don’t leave or kill themselves. So the “down” serves a purpose in the present use, regardless of its applicability to historic situations.
“Holding the fort” just meant not letting enemies in
“Holding down the fort” also includes preventing things from getting out of hand
But I like the bouncy castle imagery as it’s less mundane

Why wouldn’t we give our family members a tip on how they can also get out, on a platform where they would see it?
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 month ago:
… just as much as bouncy castles?
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 month ago:
Do toddlers where you are keep a hand free to multi-task, be available to lend a hand where needed, or use a napkin?
Or is dedicating both hands to stuffing your face the more toddler-like method? Maybe think before you fling shit.

If you ask an American they will assume you MEAN their job, whether it’s their “main life thing” or not, because that’s how people talk here
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 month ago:
Oh we non-idiot Americans find the doofuses who do that annoying too
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 month ago:
Your assumption that bouncy castles are more likely than aircraft is amusing
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 month ago:
Oh yeah that’s definitely representative of the majority of us, got us figured out you have
- Comment on What common American habits do people find quietly annoying? 1 month ago:
If it means we can get citizenship somewhere else and get out… you’re offended by us figuring out our options? Oh how inconsiderate of us
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 1 month ago:
The simplest explanation is that the oligarchs have assured him he’ll continue getting his salary if he continues being ineffective.
- Comment on How long until we can start shorting years to 2 numbers again? 1 month ago:
They are correctly listing the month first.
You say the day first, the person listening has exactly 0 idea what the hell you’re talking about until you get to the month.
You say the month first, and they understand, and can form an understanding of your whole message faster than if you made them wait by saying the day first.
“When are you getting married?”
“Twenty-second of February”
/^ until February was said, the listener could glean nothing of value at all from the speaker.
