My big question would be what would that add? If you speak Japanese, Spanish and French, 日本語, Español and Français would give you all the information you need. Adding the language name in a second language would increase the work to do, while also not really providing any benefit that I can see. If you manage to change the language to Spanish, or are using somebody else’s device, “English” is no less helpful for you than “English (Inglés)” would be.

I had this for a while, and eventually just got really good at doing math without fully waking up.

You can wind up in some pretty weird jobs just by putting in the right terms off your resume into job boards. When I was looking for jobs a few years ago, “bilingual supervisor” on indeed landed me a two year stint as the supervisor for the night shift in a pharmaceutical plant. I managed to get that despite not simply lacking a degree in a relevant field, but a college degree at all (working on it now), but simply because I was masochistic enough use SAP at work for 5 years and apply for another job that needed someone who could make sense of it, and I could speak Spanish.

If you have a degree, I’m sure there are more options that would open up for you, but you might only find them searching for things in pretty vague terms and seeing if anything pops up as being interesting. The downside is, you’ll probably see a lot of irrelevant stuff, but you also come across some wild stuff. After I got laid off from that job and had sent out applications from normal searching of job boards, I took a look at some less specific searches and came across some weird stuff, like a company that was hiring a production supervisor for their facility making probiotic dog yogurt.

Depends on how much you mind restoration/cleaning work for fountain pens. I’ve already got all the entry tier stuff covered, so buying new pens at MSRP would probably mean somewhere between 1-3 pens, depending on how fancy I’m looking to get. I already have an ultrasonic cleaner and plenty of repair supplies, so I’d be hitting up auctions, personally. Depending on what’s in the lots and how many people notice the contents, 1000€ would probably get me somewhere between 200-400 pens. Probably another 200 or so if I get to count what I could buy with the proceeds of selling off the ones I’m not interested in.

Kindly refrain from putting such stupid words in my mouth, and keep them in your own, where it seems they rightly belong, thank you.

You asked about Israel and Hamas, then instantly conflated this particular conflict with a broader conflict to come between Israel and Iran, which are not the same thing. That’s beyond moving the goal posts, we’re no longer even discussing the same events. You’re also conflating Israel with Jews as a whole here. Calling for the state of Israel to no longer exist and calling for all Jewish residents within its borders to be either killed or displaced are two rather distinct things.

I know of no definition in which a single attack in isolation, or merely killing civilians during a war, is considered to constitute genocide. Even if this were the case, the civilian casualties in the many conflicts between Israel, Hamas, and more or less all of Israel’s neighbors in the region have been decidedly lopsided. Israel suffers far fewer civilian deaths than those they inflict on others, so even if we were to entertain the notion that Hamas’ resistance to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories constitutes a genocide and we accept that the Iranian regime is in some major capacity responsible for such actions because they provide funding and support to Hamas (which, lol, even Israeli media admits Israel did, too), just going by the casualties, we’d have to conclude that Israel is either a decidedly more genocidal regime, better at genocide, or both.

Israel continues to interfere in the affairs of other sovereign nations, support settlers stealing other peoples’ land and is actively engaging in a brutal genocide. If the Israeli state were to be dismantled and Israel ceased to exist as a nation, I could only say that it’s past time for it to happen. And before you put more hysterical words in my mouth, note well: Israel no longer existing as a sovereign theocratic ethnostate and the Jews who currently live in the region being in any way harmed are two entirely separate things. Calling for a particular state to no longer exist is not a call for genocide, in and of itself.

Tl;dr: Get lost with your hasbara attempts, they’re woefully transparent.

What makes the Israel-Hamas war a genocide and for example, the Vietnam war not be considered a genocide?

Because Vietnam was a war of ideologies, not a land grab intended to wipe out the current occupants so they could be entirely replaced by a “superior, chosen” people not of the ethnicity of the current residents.

This is such a mindblowingly stupid attempt at a gotcha question. Ffs, you literally had over a million Vietnamese fighting on the same side as the US in the ARVN during the course of the war. The belligerent parties in a conflict both being composed of largely the same peoples fighting each other tends to preclude it being described as a genocide.

Lots of people in Brazil and many Spanish a speaking companies would disagree with you unfortunately. It’s incredibly embedded in those countries, to the point where WhatsApp will often be the primary, and sometimes only, point of contact for a business. At least it’s not that bad here.

I had a similar situation at my previous two jobs, but I just told people I wasn’t installing WhatsApp, if they asked, and nothing ever came of it. If it’s that important, they could text me or use my work email.

Hey, if they want to put themselves through looking at me in the nude, they can inflict that pain on themselves. I’d be more worried about them tracking everything else someone does day to day, and who could get their hands on that data.

Mostly just sports communities. They tend to post a lot, and I just don’t really care about sports outside of Motorsport. If Arsenal has some insane game, or gets a great player signed, I’ll hear about it at work sooner or later, either from coworkers or a customer. I would say the only big sport that doesn’t apply to between those played in North America and Europe is probably cricket, cause nobody has time for it. Then again, haven’t seen a single cricket post, either.

I can stay current on what’s going on with the NFL, NBA, MLB, Premier League, rugby and even hurling, just by showing up to work, so there’s no real benefit to seeing it here, too.

Also, AI communities get blocked pretty much as soon as they pop up in my feed. The novelty of “Hah, that’s crazy that a computer made this image” has long since worn off, and I have no interest in seeing the umpteenth iteration of some AI take on art or photography.

I don’t have the option ticked to show nsfw content, and people have generally been good about tagging such content, so I haven’t had to block anything there.
