Depends on your position on that. Special military operation to give Christmas back its rightful place in the year.

The war on Christmas…

Isn’t Al Gore vs Bush an even better example?

It was the goto streaming site back then. We all learned out lesson once it was down. I looked it up and it was online from 2008 to 2011, feels longer for me but I was torrenting alot before that. German law is strict on torrenting so streaming is the way to go here.

Your analysis fits neatly into what the book Because Internet describes as different waves of “internet people”. First were geeks who went there before it was mainstream, second us millennials growing up as it is getting mainstream, alongside older folks forced to use it at work or voluntarily at home. Third wave are GenZ growing up when everything is easy already and, ironically, also even older folks now that it’s accessible for them.

Boy, I remember how desperate all of Germany was when kino.to went down. It took at least a week until everyone found an alternative!

Don’t remind me of that… but you are right thought, I did fall victim to one of the classic blunders

Remindes me of when I, a fool, fell victim to one of the classic blunders

I’m fine with illusion. Nothing is real anyway

This is three dimensional and the water reflects what is above?? The future is now!

Reminds me of the Lingthusiasm episode where the Canadian and the Australian hosts discuss a book about the differences between British and American English. Both fell somewhere in between

Sane

Sure you do

Yes, grief has to have limits otherwise it’s not healthy. You have to get over your loss and continue your life after 30min.

Idk but it would make sense since snails have both sexes in each individual and can decide each time. Which is kind of super fluid.

Some fish can change sex once in life so that might fit better. But that’s a lesser known fact I guess. The Nemo movie where they finally change to female is yet to be released.

From what I know it’s similar in Swiss German (with words like merci and velo (bike)). I don’t know about Fleming but Swiss embraces their dialects so it isn’t stigmatized either

and there are vestiges of a seventh, the Locative.

I called it relicts but it’s basically what I said. Maybe vestiges is the better word in English, in German we say “Relikte”.

So you speak a V2 language like me? I’m German btw. Let me give you an outside perspective on auxiliary verbs in continental western Germanic languages:

The verb comes in second position (hence V2). Using an auxiliary verb moves the content verb to the very end of the sentence. It totally messes with the syntax.

But that’s besides my point. My point wasn’t that French auxiliary verbs are fancy but that fancy can me many things, in French it’s the spelling and pronunciation. Cases aren’t fancy, at least not the German or Latin ones. The slavic cases are a different story, in my objective opinion.

your incorrect assumptions

Why make it about me? I was more or less playing devil’s advocate, saying if not taken seriously it’s funny.

I would be more likely to agree with you if you put “OP’s assumption”. Your phrasing makes me want to double down on my original position.

That’s just a general recommendation for discussions in general, online and offline. I learned a thing or two about my biases and perspectives here. Btw I’m German and that part resonated with me from my little experience with JAVA and my experience in learning about my native language and teaching it to others.
