If a battle can not be won do not fight it.

If you police it it’s not a cultural thing. If it was just a cultural thing than we could just let the * slowly die out. But banning language hinders progress. And I’m sorry, but the German language is constantly shifting and changing. There have even been multiple planned changes that went pretty well in recent history. Using English words might have been a big change back then, but now it’s really common. The first terms for mobile were things like “Taschentelefon” (pocket telephone), “drahtloses Telephone” (wireles telephone) or the one that is still in use “Mobiltelefon” (mobile phone). None of these seem outlandish to me.

I 100% agree that it’s not perfect. Still, banning an attempt at being inclusive is clearly not about how impractical it can be. And even if it were, policing language is stupid 9 times out of 10.

I used to think that believes really don’t matter as long as the person doesn’t act on it, but almost all believes shape who we are. It starts with little comments and evolves into actions. It doesn’t have to be that way if people acknowledge harmful ideas, but if you let someone believe that women are worthless or that their race makes them superior for long enough they will become a bad person.

No. The only organ that can make “binding” decisions is the security council. Unfortunately all decisions (except for administrative questions) need the approval of china, russia, the UK, France aaand the US. So I doubt that tha the US will ever sanction Israel because it would mean they are admitting to supporting war criminals.

Ohhh so a landlord. Checks out.

Ok at first I thought the second guy was insane, but the more I thing about it the more I realize he’s cooking. I might have discovered something new about myself today lads.

“The crisis prorduced excess mortality” is a great way of putting that

But why does the train take twice as long?

I sometimes use the weird words 90s kids used here in Germany. My favorites are definitely lazer and Porno. Porno literally meaning porn.

I accidentally used Pog in real live when a girl that I’ve grown really close to told me about her having a boyfriend.

Pog has been around for years. But up until recent it has been pretty exclusive to streaming and esports. So I amagine it’s easy to miss if you are not in that bubble. pwn is the only one on the list I’ve never heard before.
