Right. But your examples are about a situation not changing. You know what news is right?

Or are you saying Bitcoin was never worth mining?

The headline is only ridiculous if you are inferring something else that isn’t in the headline. Otherwise it’s just… true?

People are answering your headline but not understanding your question; the two aren’t as linked as they would be in French.

All of these are valid:

• I went to a Moscow school
• I went to a school in Moscow
• I went to a Versaille cafe
• I went to a cafe in Versaille.
• I dated a London girl
• I dated a girl from London

These sound more natural than the following:

• I went to a Muscovite school
• I went to a Versaillian cafe (People have been giving you the direct French for Versaillais, but English wouldn’t use fhat)
• I dated a Londoner girl.

At least for Muscovite, it retains the implication that the school is for people from Moscow, rather than the school being in Moscow. You could have a Muscovite school in London. You could have a Versaillian cafe in Osaka.

You can see this a lot more often in religion, eg. I went to a Presbyterian school - I went to a school for Presbyterians.

Ah yes. Those Irish Islamists. Always demanding Sharia law.

I’m pretty sure extensions can request browsing data for some specific URLs rather than every site you visit. If an extension with functionality on one website asks for access to all of them, then yeah it’s a bad sign.

I’m not sure this even counts because the guy basically said let’s be friends and she has leapt to thinking about getting back together. This just sounds like someone with issues of their own, if dating someone who is obviously unthinking but falls well within the predicted bounds of normal behaviour for a teenager makes them think they might be a lesbian.

Rockerface is Ukrainian, not American.

Being a seemingly temporary non-nation, Americans don’t always understand that people don’t usually just give up and accept conquest. If a people continue to distinguish themselves strongly enough without being literally wiped out or assimilated, they will survive annexation until the next opportunity for rebellion or freedom. Ireland resisted Britain for 800 years - a few years in the shadows of dictators until ordinary Russians grow balls/tits again isn’t necessarily the end of Ukraine.

Quite the opposite, my workplace is pretty fun and we definitely don’t need to couch jokes in emoticons for safety. Maybe this is the same thing that requires people these days to use sarcasm tags.

Please don’t wink in a work context

No, not every purchase is taxed, and not every purchase that is is taxed at the same rate.

These rates are set by individual countries (because “Europe”, lol) and can change year to year. For example Ireland doesn’t tax books, basic food staples, children’s clothes, medicines. Heating fuel is taxed but was set to a reduced rate during the cost of living crisis. Other countries will have different priorities.

VAT ensures that even those who have a large amount of wealth accumulated without “income” also contribute to society.

But nobody clapped and no atheist tried to abort him and the holy spirit did not enter her at her weakest moment

Well yeah, that’s where the chip goes

Terrible advice. Did you even read what he asked, about having to reconnect manually? Or did you just see “VPN” and had a story to tell?

The general trend of the behaviour of the userbase when it first began appearing. I’m pretty block-happy. I’m sure it’s an over-generalisation but I’ve learned over the years that I’d rather miss out than feel constantly annoyed.

I pronounce it “this post hidden due to instance block settings”.

You haven’t posted two interviews. You’ve posted two screenshots, and made vague contentions that they indicate some kind of conspiracy.

The first rule of this community is “Please only post links to actual news sources”. When are you going yo do this?

English could be my 10th language and I think I’d be more “transparent” than you still.

Why are you posting memes to a news community, again?

(Would you like me to write in Ukrainian if you read it better?)

What’s a debatebro?

Well, did you see the only question in my last comment? I know you don’t like answering questions, but if you’re going to ask what needs explaining, I’m fairly sure you’re familiar with what, when, how, who and why.

If “fishing” means “trying to get someone to explain why he’s posting memes to a news community, again”… yes.
