Which is why we need to elect proper socialist parties to ensure equity and that climate survival and adaptation does not become a pay-to-play scheme.

AC is not for filthy rich people. In the era of global warming, AC in heatwaves should be treated as much a human right as heating in cold snaps.

- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 months ago:
Like I said, either you’re a creep posting some kid’s personal info, or you’re a silly teenager. In both cases, there is zero benefit if I try to …convince you. If you are genuinely curious, please just google “why pivacy matters” and you can read countless articles about that.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 months ago:
Either you’re posting some random kid’s information online or you’re a silly teenager who doesn’t know any better. In both cases, the mods should remove this.

- Comment on 🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙 4 months ago:
In modern Greek, singular: χταπόδι, plural: χταπόδια.
Transliterated using standard ELOT (that maps χ to ch) singular: chtapodi, plural: chtapodia.
The word is composite and contracted. First part originally is οχτώ (8) (transliteration: ochto) but has been uncommonly shortened to χτα (chta). Second part is the word for foot (singular: πόδι/podi, plural: πόδια/podia).
So without the uncommon shortening in more archaic Greek it would be: οχταπόδι (ochtapodi) and οχταπόδια (ochtapodia).
If ELOT is ignored and οχτώ is transliterated as octo, then you can get to octapodi, octapodia.
- Comment on 🐙 Octopus is Octopus 🐙 4 months ago:
As a native greek speaker, I find anything other than “octopuses” to be silly. In greek we don’t say (any more) octopodes, we say “chtapodia” (the “ch” is the canonical transliteration of the letter χ).

The idea that a language ends up a lingua franca because of its qualities is simply ridiculous. It’s not linguistics, it’s empire. It’s always empire.

That explains a lot.
If they had added “ban Jack Russel Terriers” in that list, some percentage of people polled would have said “sure yea that too”.
