Maybe nuking the internet isn’t the worst idea.

Weird how the same people who apparently cared a lot about Clinton’s adultery don’t seem to care at all about the adultery and worse of Trump.

And AFAIK his politics were pretty bad, too.

1. There were also democrat politicians implicated;

IIRC Hilary Clinton divorced Bill after it became known that he was there. My bad, the divorce because of Epstein involvement happened between Melinda and Bill Gates. Bill Clinton was involved with Epstein, though.

2. Important party donors were probably involved (of both parties).

3. Epstein most likely had connections to the Israeli secret service and was definitely part of Israeli lobbying efforts. Both parties are heavily involved with Israel lobbying groups like AIPAC.

I’d assume that would be part of it, yeah. But that may indeed be a faulty assumption. Anyway, achievements don’t work without a client even if they’re native Linux titles.

I’ll believe it when I see a Linux version of their Galaxy client.

The complete non-sequitur link really makes it. chef’s kiss

Damn, lol

I do understand being rigorous about questions, and technical forums were even worse a lot of the time, but SO’s methods led to the site becoming severely outdated. They really should have introduced a mechanism to mark old content as outdated. It should have been obvious like 10 years ago that solutions often stop working come next major version of the programming language, framework or operating system.

TBH asking questions on SO (and most similar platforms) fucking sucks, no surprise that users jump at the first opportunity at getting answers another way.

“Venedig” in German, even though they literally use (almost) the same sound for z as Italian …

It wouldn’t really make sense to use different names than the current locals, though.

OK. German has an H (same as English, which makes it weird that it’s written with a P in the first place) and isn’t shy about spelling reforms, either.

I say we should go the Belarus route.

Austrians are just as able as BRD Germans to pronounce something like Milano, though.

Neat! I’ve been meaning to switch.

Florenz, but yeah

Take it up with your ancestors (or the English, if you have no English ancestors yourself). They started calling the Dutch “Dutch” when people in what is today The Netherlands and Germany were both called deutsch/dutch, and the English didn’t care to adjust when the distinction started to matter/people from the Netherlands stopped calling themselves deutsch/dutch.

But Germans are not much better, it’s absurd that Italian city names that aren’t at all hard to pronounce for Germans have different names in German, e.g. Torino, Milano, Roma (Turin, Mailand, Rom), and we also call Japan “Japan”, even though Japanese is one of the few languages that uses a word for Germany that is derived from “Deutschland” and “Nippon” isn’t hard to pronounce for Germans, either.

Also, the saxons never lived in the area of the German federal state of Saxony.

I often get an “ugh, not dealing with that rn” reaction. Reddit let you mute notifications for replies on a per-comment basis, which sometimes was really nice. Especially useful when dozens of people decide to reply to one comment of yours with similar comments, or when it’s just more useful to open the entire thread in another tab.

Abbreviations aren’t just used to make a word quicker to say or write, but also to obfuscate.
