If it’s not religion, something else would be the guise under which the same people would operate.

Wasn’t Tesla complaining about profit loss all year, stock tanking and all? Wasn’t this Musk’s fault as well? If I do shoddy work at my place, I get fired, not a trillion bucks extra paycheck, but maybe I’m just too stupid.

So, in the year 2025, the regressive time machine will have arrived?

In the year 2025, the backwards time machine still won’t have arrived.

Yeah, Russian is quite a bit easier to romanize, so it should work even better. For cyrillic, you can just replace each character with the romanized variant, but this doesn’t work for Farsi because they usually leave out non-starting vowels, so if you did the same approach you’d get something unreadable lol

I use it to romanize Farsi song texts. I cannot read their script and chatGPT can. The downside is that you have to do it a few lines at a time or else it starts hallucinating like halfway through. There is no other tool that reliably does this, the one I used before from University of Tehran seems to have stopped working.

They are basing it on this article in which they monitor ProtonDB.

If he was truthful about the results (unlikely), then low IQ. If he was not truthful (likely), it’s dementia. Or both.

The Odyssey was called Odysseia. The suffix -eia is an abstract noun suffix, so it’s sort of like a titular case for the name. Following the same logic, it would be Homereia and thus Homerey.

The Odyssey was part of the Epic Cycle, so Homer likely inherited the figure of Odysseus from those stories. Whether he made up the name or the name Odysseus was already established, we simply do not know. Much has been lost to time, sadly.

Odyssey roughly translates to “The story of Odysseus”, so yes, the name existed before Homer’s story. The semantic connection of odyssey and a long, dangerous and arduous journey came way after that.

There’ll be plenty enough healthy slaves as long as he can convince the paupers that either a) they can ascend to the ranks of the elite through good work ethic and unwavering support or that b) their struggles are the result of doings by some random marginalized group.

I think it’s too much that you drive in the parkway but park in the driveway.

No, they clearly mean “thongs”.

Tinfoil hat: the threat was just a ruse to provide plausible deniability. The actual reason they are allowed to establish an air base on US soil is because they gave Trump a $400M airplane.

Germany has private and federal insurance. You have to be insured in either one of them. Still, private insurance is not insanely expensive, the main downside is that you generally have to foot the bill first and then make a claim to your insurance carrier. The upside is that doctors know they get their money for everything, even the “unnecessary” tests, so you get preferential treatment like less wait times for medical imaging and such which is a constant point of contention and discussion as it somewhat introduces a medical caste system.

What makes the German system way less toxic tho is that insurance carriers cannot just deny your claim with bullshit cop-outs like “out-of-network hospitals” or such. That doesn’t exist.

You can still call them burger. You just cannot sell them as burgers. So unless you sell vegan burgers for a living, this does not affect you whatsoever.

in a while*

awhile is an adverb and makes no sense after a preposition.
