Do one maleshep run. I promise he has some great deliveries too.

Can I ask what I’m sure everyone is thinking, how are any of those things improved by being tiny?

They’re talking about the USB port. Which might have been inferred from “24 pins”.

If I remember correctly, yes. There was a pain in the ass a few years ago when Firefox switched from their own add-on system to one that matched Chrome’s, despite Firefox’s being more powerful and mature. The goal was to make it easier to port Chromes (arguably) greater variety of add-ons to Firefox.

It was an unpopular decision and it was the start of a downward decline for Firefox. People that had their browser “just the way I like it” found themselves starting fresh essentially, and without some of their favourite add-ons.

The number of people that do this is not going to even remotely shift the usage share percentage.

“Rust Belt” isn’t literal, it refers to an area of the US where industrial manufacturing declined significant in the second half of the 20th century. It’s called that in part at least because its previous moniker was “Steel Belt”.

Well apart from how tired the “this thing is bad, this thing is good” meme format is, I think there are credible allegations of grooming?

Liquid, plasma and gas are even worse.

Proper nouns are names.

… Yes? And for the full points, what is a noun?

Proper nouns are, in fact, words.

Man they really don’t teach you guys basic English.

My friend, Americans do not care about how words are pronounced in the original language/location.

The issue is taking a broad concept and making it mean a very specific one instead.

(Please note I am an atheist that lived for years in a “Muslim country”. I don’t actually agree with any of the below, but understanding what words are intended to mean is important when you are surrounded by their use in 2 different contexts).

Fatwa: a Sharia law ruling by an imam

Fatwa (western): a ruling by an imam that a person is not protected by the law and therefore a target for assassination

Hijab: men and women of Islam should maintain a sense of visual propriety in order to avoid devaluing what can be seen in private.

Hijab (western): that cloth Islamic women wear on their head.

Jihad: the righteous struggles that each human faces to choose a difficult path for good reasons.

Jihad (western): a holy war of aggression against infidels

The citizens of the world’s exceptionalist democracy when the government tyranny their guns are supposed to be for don’t represent them:

All of them. We’re all full thanks very much. Maybe you can claim to be Jewish and Israel will give you a passport.

“I can’t protest my country’s participation in a genocide because it’s too inconvenient” OK ‘bro’.

Sorry mate we’re full

of Palestinians because none of you care about your country’s behaviour until it impacts you personally

You are being tested on your comprehension of the text given, not asked for your opinion on piracy and copyright.

The downvote button is not the “I disagree” button. It’s a “this is irrelevant or destructive to the conversation” button. “I get what you’re saying but I disagree” to me indicates you don’t think my comment was either.

If the question was phrased as “Is the German national team diverse enough?” - which asks for the same opinion - would that be somehow better?

This type of finger-in-ear nonsense is the type of behaviour that leads to Germans supporting a genocide in 2024 and AfD’s success being a surprise.

I don’t think a survey question can be racist. An answer can, and I’m not sure that not knowing the answer is better than knowing it.

Edit: No wrongthink on feddit.de, got it.
