  If it wasn’t for a bunch of snobbish Vikings who regarded badly spoken French as classier than those uncouth Germanic languages, we’d be making compound nouns with the best of them, and would have to find something else about the Germans to laugh at.

  Doing their bit to preserve Slavic traditions.

  (Yes, I know Romania is not Slavic, though they share the region’s squatting-in-tracksuits culture to an extent.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Itch.io are seeking out new payment processors who are more comfortable with adult material⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Are there any which interface with different national banking systems and allow payment from those without going through the credit card payment infrastructure, which has become a universal choke point? Or are they talking about accepting Monero or something?

  That’s what they used to call “Church Air”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should Australia lower the voting age to 16 like the UK? We asked 5 experts⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Compulsory voting (along with preferential voting, a proportional senate and a permanent, nonpartisan electoral commission) is one of the success stories of Australian democracy. (Making showing up to vote — or formally lodging a reasonable excuse — compulsory makes declining to vote a deliberate act, and prevents anyone from winning merely by riling up a base of hardliners and counting on apathy on the other side, as happens often in the US.) Ditching it would be a retrograde step for Australian democracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do females got to be so hard to talk or flirt with?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Give up on trying to “win a woman over” and you may meet one you click with and not repel her by thinking of her as a challenge to be overcome.

  If they did, they may be on shaky legal ground in IHRA jurisdictions like the UK and Germany.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Coldplay actually sounds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  From what I understand, Coldplay was what played in suburban minivans 20 years ago when the drivers were driving their kids to taekwondo practice.

  Also, apparently they’re the one band that’s not officially Christian Rock that’s huge with US Christians.

  Because Chewbacca, a Wookie, is from Endor, but there are no Wookies on Endor, of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Covid 19 delivering packages on an electric scooter.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kovid is a plausible Indian name (the developer of Calibre is named Kovid Goyal). Not sure if spelling it with a C is common, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People were no less thirsty back then⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They spoke in codes. A lot of those hokey greeting cards from the Victorian era, with specific flowers and chaste, maudlin sentiments, were probably widely understood as codes for the most torrid of passions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's grandpa does his own research⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course, the idea that the President’s head can just explode for no reason in view of the public, and by implication, so can anyone else’s at any time, is far more existentially terrifying than any assassination plot, so, to avert mass panic and social collapse, the FBI hurriedly framed some local weirdo, and then killed him before anyone could flag that he probably had nothing to do with it, which is the only reason why everyone’s life savings still had any value afterwards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pass me to your interior designer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You laugh now, but a hundred years after the collapse of technological civilisation, the surviving mass-produced artefacts of that loose age will be associated with great prestige and power. Imposing buildings like palaces and cathedrals will feature parts from long-lost machines as prominent architecture features to signal the power and proximity to the divine of those who commissioned them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fears Aboriginal languages are being lost, as communities work to save them⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Should it fall only on those descended from First Peoples to learn these languages? One could argue that settler Australians who acknowledge that they live on unceded First Nations land could do their part by learning and using some of the local language (and lore that goes with it).

  Though with these languages being exclusively oral and unwritten, and post-settlement society depending extensively on writing, incorporating them in everyday life may be difficult. One could formulate orthographies and dictionaries for them, but then one would arguably have a constructed language that’s more a fan fiction of the original language.

  What’s the frequency for forklift/crane certificates or similar? Driving a car should be regulated similarly (with the proviso that it is accepted that many blameless people will be found unfit to drive, and society should accommodate them by means other than lowering safety standards).
