This braindeadism would be so funny to watch if America wouldn’t drag everyone else down with them.
Sorry to tell you guys, but your only option in the foreseeable future is to vote for the democrats and pray they prove a tiny bit better. You have nothing else in your hands. Third party votes are political suicide. So is not voting. Even if the Dems are bad, they are not fascists (for now). Pray they don’t become fascists.
Cheers from a place far, far (but not far enough) away.
Coz surely mean dekneecapped?
I recently reached the stage where katakana are worse because you kind of have to find out what they are supposed to mean to get the intonation right. Sometimes it’s freaking impossible without looking it up, like with オードブル
And you consider Japanese Kanji easy (context of the post)? What I heard from Chinese friends is that it’s just a chaotic mess
I also told my wife about my itchy knees and she go lookin’ in a hot jacuzzi.
(best I could improvise… The jacuzzi is a bit off though)
German certainly has a steep learning curve in the beginning, but I would argue it gets easier if you’re an advanced learner. Most more complex words are just compositions of easier words, pronunciation makes sense, the complex grammar quirks are either not used in everyday life or irrelevant (nobody cares if your say der, die, or das for any noun that’s not Nutella).
English on the other hand is easy to start but the learning curve never flattens. To pronounce a word correctly you often have to know the specific word beforehand or you’re lost (like with read, thyme, zealot, advertisement, …). To understand a new word you often have to look it up because compositional nouns are less common. That makes many new cool words but is less accessible.
Japanese Kanji are complicated. Ask a Chinese person learning Japanese, they will give you a good rant. Or ask a Japanese person who has been living abroad for a few years, they often forget many Kanji and have to relearn them. Main reason imho is that a lot of this has grown organically and the world has changed a lot over the past centuries, so many things would be done differently today.
Hard to say without more context. I’d check the existing distributions and pick one that suits you. Their websites usually have lists with compatible devices.
PostmarketOS is interesting for tinkering, grapheneOS just works reliably. Everything else in between
It’s more likely that most people wouldn’t pass high school anymore
I haven’t heard of ads, but there was flattr which didn’t work out for some reason

Learn from post war Germany. There is no need to be proud of your country. It’s all made up anyway. What do I have to do with 5 basketball players or 11 football players or whatever who just happen to speak my language? How can I be “proud” of their achievements? Doesn’t make sense at all
Yes, nobody in Korea or Thailand cares and they just enjoy the software, that’s the point
English speaking country problems
Same here, never looked back. Enjoy it as long as it lasts
Two friends of mine are in a similar age difference range. One of the happiest couples I know. She is the younger one and a very beautiful person, but it’s not a sugar daddy relationship (they both have basically the same job). I think she also initiated this and is even more deeply into it than him.
Hope that helps
