I’m not familiar with Argentinian politics. What would you call him?

Most things I read the last few days called him left wing. But things get fuzzy calling people/parties left/right, especially across different continents.

Yes.

8h23 would be 7 before half 9.

But most people while speaking would just say 8.23 or 23 past 8.

In Dutch, the proper way to say it’s e.g., 8h30 is “half nine”.

Makes it extra confusing when they say the same in (British) English for 9h30. So short for half past nine.

You wouldn’t pronounce €8.50 as “half nine Euro”.

Even worse: the correct way of saying 8h40 is “10 past half nine”.

It’s not about the size of your laser, it’s what you do with it.

Sorry, I misread your comment as saying you were in the UK. That’s on me, you didn’t formulate it badly.

I do think that Erdogan’s reelection is worse for Turkey than Brexit is for the UK. And I think the latter is fucked up.

Still, I truly believe that a lot of people that voted against their own interest are victims of themselves and the lies they were fed. But I’m definitely too soft hearted and naive at times.

Like you said, I’m an outsider and didn’t mean to imply to mandate who you should have sympathy for.

You can still have sympathy for people that didn’t vote for him but are living there (so similar to remain voters living in a post-brexit UK), and even for people that voted for him based on lies.

Definitely more than 1 asshole in that story though. The biggest one not the one you know, imo

It was money that was previously blocked. The US didn’t lose it. Iran just regained access to it.

Are you really saying printing money is the only possible cause for inflation?

I’ve been to Italy multiple times (actually on a plane to leave for Milan right now). I never had any problem communicating while there.

Who will be the judge to decide which people are a drain on society to kill?

Anyone burning down schools to “protect the children” should take a very hard look at themselves. I hope they catch the people responsible quickly.

I do fear that this will cause some more islamophobia here (and we already have plenty). The problem isn’t religion per se, it’s misinformation. People believe that this program would cause teachers to teach kids how to masturbate, which is obviously ridiculous.

Unfortunately, fake news is more common in certain groups. One of those groups is muslims. It’s the same reason why vaccination rates are much lower among them.

It’s a problem that runs very deeply and is a consequence of a failed integration approach.

Megaparsec, kilojoules, kilo electron volt,… are all very common.

Then on the other hand, giga solar masses is never used.

Who switches to miles if they initially use km? They’re the same order of magnitude.

Ask them, who’s going to ban the trans people if the government is shut down?

They are. They want to remove any protections of minority groups. Back to the good ol’ lynching days.

(I feel dirty just typing that out)

When was this?

We did a trip with my friends’ Tesla earlier this year. Normally would have taken us 8 hours, now it took 10 (or maybe it was even 12h instead of 10).

The car also wasn’t properly charged the night before for some reason, so we left with half a “tank”. That added an extra stop. I also think there were a lot of traffic problems which contributed in the extra time.

I also don’t mind to stop every 2 hours or so to charge. Perfect time for a bathroom/coffee/food break. But I’m not used to driving long distances. I know some people like to drive for 4 or 5 hours straight.

Regardless of their intent, if it means people don’t use social media to get their information on topics like this, I’m okay with it.

Holy shit, what a bad take.

Why doesn’t the government take actions to reduce sanctions then?

But can you trust that they will remain sharp for 4 years (or whatever the term of the position they’re running for)?

Did you know the details on how to eat with knife and fork differ across different countries as well?
