But so what? There’s loads of words derived from German and from French in the English language, but they are understood and perfectly fine words to use, even in the same sentence. Or consider “television”, where “tele” has Greek and “vision” had Latin origins.

vrojak@feddit.orgto News@lemmy.world•Supreme Court allows Trump to implement transgender military ban883·13 days agoWhen there are fewer LGBT people in the military, then there will also be less resistance from within when the military is used to oppress that very same group. I suspect that might be a reason for the ban. Also I guess there’d be less chance for a coup, but I don’t know how likely that is to begin with.
vrojak@feddit.orgto politics @lemmy.world•MAGA melts down as Germany declares far right ‘extremists’11·16 days agoAs far as I understand, the domestic intelligence agency declaring the AfD as rightwing extremist and the party being outlawed are two independent things. It could have been outlawed prior to this decision, and it will not necessarily be outlawed even with the decision. However, the intelligence service now has greater authority to observe and wiretap AfD members.
Of course, the fact that the party is now officially declared as Nazi scum should hopefully embolden the parliament to start the necessary processing to outlaw them.
“no preference” aka “I don’t even know who the potential candidates are, also I don’t care, get out of the way, I’m trying to golf here”
It’s already at version 4.4, that’s over four entire Godots, come on don’t get greedy

Machen -> make
The translation by amoistgrandpa is “Then you can shitpost in two languages”, which is good English, a more literal translation would be “then you can make shitposts in two languages”
Number 5 is the best, fight me. The wide, rounded handle provides a comfortable grip, and the slightly shorter prongs, combined with the bulge on the outer ones give it a friendly look. You don’t want to put some aggressive looking stabbing device like the disgusting number 2 into your mouth do you? Where all the soft, vulnerable stuff is? Come on. And don’t get me started on the handle of number 3, that is just atrocious, way to thin and I can already feel it digging into my skin when just trying to apply modicum of rotational force into my food.
vrojak@feddit.orgto News@lemmy.world•Luigi Mangione pleads not guilty to federal charges in CEO killing6·23 days agoThey needed to do anything to stop copycats from popping up, and they did an okay job at doing so.
Though I wonder if that will remain the case if Luigi actually does come up with an alibi he had all along, waiting to reveal it all this time just to really rub it in how law enforcement screwed this up. And with all the spotlight on him all the time, the real killer could be anywhere in the world at this point, completely unknown and unreachable. Not exactly a scenario that scares people off
The boomers are old a lot older than 30 though, so it would need to be a 4 day week for everyone over 60. At that point it’s barely useful anyways
vrojak@feddit.orgto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement7·1 month agoI’m SO glad I live in a city with a decently functioning tram system. If something like that was proposed today, there’d be thousands of people complaining about being forced out of their cars or the city losing its charm or whatever nonsense.
When my gf spoons me it also makes something go up (my mood) so you must be onto something
You’d still be able to just reinstall Linux, and save money in the process. And simply having the option available will probably help get Linux to some users that aren’t overly tech savvy
Oh he just draws the buildings like he imagines them on fire, I first thought he would just happen across burning banks by “random chance”
vrojak@feddit.orgto politics @lemmy.world•‘60 Minutes’ calls BS on Trump’s reason for dystopian deportations56·1 month agoSo right now it’s non-criminal foreigners, soon it’ll be criminal US citizens, then any US citizen with a wrong opinion.
Oh come on the lack of a stack system was such a positive. I loved how I could look over all profiles around me, see who managed to write more than 10 words about themselves and just send them a message. I guess that system just worked to well, I never felt the need to pay for anything
What is okcupid like nowadays? I found a partner there like 7 years ago and out of all the dating sites I’ve tried, it was the best by a good margin.
Happened to me sometimes when looking at memes with my girlfriend, luckily the phone always hits her 🤗
You might not get hit on but you will get hit
Even if it was raping little boys and not terrorism, they’d simply not accuse the church.
