Right. But your examples are about a situation not changing. You know what news is right?

Or are you saying Bitcoin was never worth mining?

It felt like “shoot them in the streets” was plainly obvious a few months ago but that’s harder than an Instagram story.

The headline is only ridiculous if you are inferring something else that isn’t in the headline. Otherwise it’s just… true?

The phone company can get your location down to a few dozen feet depending on the number of 4G (50 to 70 metres) and 5G (10-50 metres) towers around.

You should probably note, the functionality you’re describing now requires modding/plug-ins and not the “search and enable” kind, the download from third party sites and run random install scripts kind. It also since February requires you use your Kindle to download and copy every book you own (a chore if your family buys a lot of pulpy urban fantasy novels)

I think they quite literally mean former IDF soldier, Gal Godot.

OK boys you’ve had your fun with the sectioning, there’ll be no more sectioning today.

Well that just means you’ve got 8 seasons of Peep Show to watch.

I don’t know why you’re describing my mother as masculine but she apologises

The problem with the term “toxic masculinity” is what exactly can we describe as “positive” masculinity? Is masculinity only toxic, or are there positive things that aren’t feminine?

People are answering your headline but not understanding your question; the two aren’t as linked as they would be in French.

All of these are valid:

• I went to a Moscow school
• I went to a school in Moscow
• I went to a Versaille cafe
• I went to a cafe in Versaille.
• I dated a London girl
• I dated a girl from London

These sound more natural than the following:

• I went to a Muscovite school
• I went to a Versaillian cafe (People have been giving you the direct French for Versaillais, but English wouldn’t use fhat)
• I dated a Londoner girl.

At least for Muscovite, it retains the implication that the school is for people from Moscow, rather than the school being in Moscow. You could have a Muscovite school in London. You could have a Versaillian cafe in Osaka.

You can see this a lot more often in religion, eg. I went to a Presbyterian school - I went to a school for Presbyterians.

Ah yes. Those Irish Islamists. Always demanding Sharia law.

Hello.

My nan passed with dementia a few years ago too. I felt for my dad at the time but after visiting her and her not recognising me, not recognising my dad, basically living and suffering for nothing, it was pretty neutral when she did die.

I didn’t miss the old lady in a chair pointed at a TV that kept her conscious. I missed my nan who’d always sneak us biscuits (cookies) and insisted I was handsome from 0 years old to 30 years old. But she’d been gone a long time. I think my dad had hope she’d snap out of it. My hope is that I never see him like that. And that me losing things is my ADHD, not a precursor.

Trump at the press dinner, Musk masturbating to submersible plans, Bezos getting cucked for half his fortune.

Limp white millionaires really do get deranged when they realise it doesn’t buy them respect.

Yes? I acknowledged that in my original comment.

As it turns out, just declaring everything fine now doesn’t actually address the disparities of wealth and power when you have had much worse laws in place for much longer.

Happy St Patrick’s Day! In Ireland we burned the mansion houses of English landlords after independence. I’m not going to judge non-white South Africans for enforcing a fucking minority shareholder policy.

Sure. We can also change a single variable and have him sell 30% of it. And now he can be an apartheid nepo-baby and still run a telecommunications company in the nation his father helped to devastate.

What’s your point?

So he can still own it as a white man so long as he allows 30% to be owned by someone black, Cape Malay, Indian, San, KhoiKhoi or ‘coloured’, or indeed many people fitting any of those.

Not because he “isn’t black”.

Lots of countries have rules about local ownership; eg in Thailand businesses and properties have to be 51% owned by a Thai person. Of course the difference here is that for centuries the rules were increasingly enforced to treat certain races as foreigners, to the point of quite literally trying to declare parts of itself independent ie foreign. This creates a weird scenario after the fall of apartheid that is definitely uncomfortable to read but how do you undo centuries of this with carrot instead of stick when it’s people like Musk and Peter Thiel?
