Why the fuck are they doubling down after 14 doctors found foul play unlikely?

I generally want to have sex with my husband after reading erotica. You know, because it’s arousing. How did this not occur to them?

Xerox has entered the chat, with the first commercial photocopier, the GUI, laser printer, and computer mouse, in addition to the ones you think of.

The school shooting. Reading the article will help answer these types of questions. I’ll mute you for a while to give you time.

Which is a completely irrelevant point here

Ooh, ooh! Pick me! It’s because transportation is infinitely more societally useful than punching imprecise holes in things in one of the most dangerous ways accessible to most individuals! There are lots of reasons to ban or limit the use of cars in various public places, but those types of attacks are a reason to install and use bollards.

Probably more drownings though :(

this issue was too complex for them to be able to relate

Wouldn’t want schools getting involved there at all…

Also 😁

Well, yes. I can write a series of sentences in English without building in references to explain exactly how they relate to each other, but German writing explicates their relationship to each other.

Thus there’s technically more vagueness in written English, though the reader makes the leap (if the writer is an effective communicator).

As a small example, I went back and forth about including “thus” in the above sentence. I don’t think it’s necessary even in formal, written English, but it would be in German.

Written German is incredibly precise, IMO (I have C2 German, teach it as a second language at a university in Germany, and am currently getting a masters degree in German instruction). I came from a background in legal writing in English, and the amount of references that each sentence after the first in a text needs to the sentence before it was still staggering. The grade on my first thesis paper was an unwelcome surprise, but it can be learned.

I’m proud to have learned German as a second language, because it’s complex and precise, not because of any preexisting affinity for German speaking people.

I’ve worked in an office and as a waiter. I was regularly working for less than a quarter of the day in the office job (and I ended up getting the fastest promotion in the history of the department), whereas I would be scolded if I looked at my phone for less than a minute in the back of the restaurant, even if I didn’t have any tables.

The first time I told my boss in the office that I was going to the bathroom he asked if I needed help finding it, then got really uncomfortable when he realized that I was essentially asking permission.

I’m astounded that Poland still had a Russian embassy.

Did journalists have anything to do with that?

Yeah, cutting, cooking, chemically altering, and dehydrating foods are all forms of processing them. There are very few foods people can actually eat without any form of processing, and the ones that we can offer basically no protein, fat, or complex carbohydrates, mostly just sugar, fiber and vitamins (not necessarily bad, but you need more)

There’s bread and there’s bread and there’s bread. All are highly processed, given the milling, kneading, fermentation, and baking required for bread, but there’s a huge gap between wonder bread and Russian black bread. I’d be very surprised if the latter is worse for you than bananas, a starch we eat with very little processing

I can understand that, but I suspect that neither calls itself The Times. In countries with a large newspaper known as a Times, The Times is called The London Times to differentiate itself

Jesus, why did they choose that name? I get that it means truth, but surely it was tainted by the then 88 year old newspaper in the country that colonized yours? Imagine if an Algerian person, fed up with French interference in their media, founded the Algerian newspaper, Le Monde.
