By February, Ukraine is gone. They already struggle not to win, but just to exist. European aid is not enough, and Ukraine will disappear from maps. The Baltics are next. Moldova is next. Poland is next. Georgia is next. Finland is next. Taiwan is gone. South Korea might survive, but won’t ever look the same. NATO is gone. Chinese and ruzzian influence in Africa and South America will grow tenfold. There is no superpower to keep ruzzia and china and north korea and iran in check anymore. Worst, when WWIII start, you will be on the Axis side.

All of that is a win for them. They are not leftist, they are autocratic revanchists. Hurting undesirables was always more important to them than helping others or even themselves, it’s just the definition of “undesirables” that they disagree on with far right.

Same weird non-sequiturs chain that foobar2000 author uses.

They could’ve honestly said “I don’t wanna”, and that would be the end of it.

There are penalties. They require proof of intent, however. So there are no penalties.

Bilingualism is a bit overloaded nowadays, which I find kinda annoying given that word “polyglot” exists.

Anyways, if you can freely use another language in an informal exchange with a few people of different sobriety levels while failing to remember key words and recovering from that - you’re a fluent polyglot. Ability to exchange information is a key part of what language is, and that’s how you measures your proficiency.

Bilingual can also mean “natively proficient in two languages”. And if you’re older than three years old and are not native speakers of multiple languages already, the chances of you becoming one are slim.

Native proficiency is a result of a language acquisition ability that is not well understood and disappears early into child development. It results in a level of effortless mastery that seems to be impossible to achieve as an adult, i.e. a dedicated or merely attentive native speaker will be able to recognize that you are not one.

It’s not “people vs persons” but “those people vs they”.

Conversationally, “those/these” distances you from the group you are talking about, which is humorously weird when it’s your family you’re talking about.

It’s not the meaning of the words, but habitual (and often fleeting) attribution around them that tripped you up.

PS: “People” are uncountable, “persons” are countable. That’s basically the whole difference between the two plurals. Although it’s rapidly disappearing, as “ten people” won’t raise a single eyebrow in a conversation.

Ten and a half. And that’s only if we discount Tuzla island dispute and continuous attempts to take control of politics and economy.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Considering that git doesn’t need federation, and email is the grandfather of federation, sourcehut has a working version of it this very moment.

Laws of Ukraine explicitly state that elections cannot be held in a wartime. These provisions are older than current presidency and parliament.

Claim to illegitimacy due to refused elections is the best way to tell everyone you gobble up Russian propaganda.

Occupying a country that size doesn’t take a mere week. So no, it won’t.

You’re one link click away from understanding why your message is stupid. Question is whether it’s message alone.

Teeth cannot produce enamel. Enamel is not a living tissue and it was produced by cells outside of the tooth in a coral-like manner. In order to grow a new tooth, you need it to be fully surrounded by specialized living tissue for the whole growth cycle.

PS: I honestly expected something like this to come out of bioelectric computation research, but progress seems slower there. Or rather knowledge and techniques in other fields is reaching critical mass, giving us these advances.

So in a choice between arrest and killing innocents, choosing to kill innocents is moral somehow?

Identification != Authentication

As obvious as this sounds, I’ve learned over the years that most people don’t understand what it means exactly.

It’s called Russia Law because it’s literally a Russian law copied verbatim

Sounds a lot like US House of Representatives, but in this case I don’t see why not.

As we all know, siphoning of the power to the small percentage of people had never happened prior to capitalism.

It’s not a dev code. It would also take a mere minute to check this before failing to sound smart.
