This is loss

I only cried thrice while playing through it some time ago 😎

But Chemie comes from Chemnitz (obviously) so it must be pronounced with K

Don’t know where China comes from, maybe from Chinese which is obviously pronounced with K.

It’s obviously pronounced Kicago, just like Chamäleon, Chemie and China :)

Here you go

Zoomer here, how do I claim my knees’ warranty? They’ve started hurting AT LEAST a decade too soon.

“I don’t hate group ABC. I just hate group XYZ that happens to be almost solely composed of members of ABC.”

Next you will be arguing why hating blues, jazz and rap with every fibre of your being isn’t racist.

And to further show why your analogy doesn’t work:

P(Person being white | Person being male) = P(Person being white).

Being white and being male is unrelated and separate (<=> statistically independent), unlike being a furry and being queer which is actually related as mentioned earlier.

I have no clue what you’re trying to say. How many women are men?

Exactly zero, because (excluding certain trans identities for the purpose of simplification) there is no intersection between the two groups. Talking about what it means to be a men doesn’t involve a single woman, therefore it doesn’t apply to them.

Hating a primarily queer subgroup has very much homophobic implications, the same way the war on drugs is obviously racist:

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or Black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and Blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities

• A certain honest man

separate and unrelated

P(Person is queer | Person is furry) > P(Person is queer), therefore these are not separate and unrelated

50% of mythology is just fetish, just check out Greek mythology. People most definitely masturbated to mythology in the past based on the amount of fetish oozing out of the stories.

You can’t tell me the ancient Greek equivalent to furries didn’t think Zeus transforming into animals and fucking was hot.

I don’t have anything productive to respond, althogh I do have a single, very important question:

HOW did you write this entire thing in the bus?! Using a laptop in a bus is (for me) just extremely uncomfortable but if you typed this entire thing on the phone your bus ride must have been 2 hours or so

Not wearing a helmet on a bike isn’t that unreasonable though. I’ve seen studies that show a positive relation between a cyclist wearing protective gear and cars driving more aggressively around them. So you might actually be less likely to have an accident than when wearing safety gear, since the vast majority are caused by car drivers.

I genuinely believe the NSA et al is targeting those who attempt to avoid all targeting more than the average person. It’s difficult to avoid being tracked, it’s nearly impossible to additionally blend in with an unsuspicious façade. Might as well become a secret agent if you’re capable of avoiding the NSA’s gaze.

I changed some of my router’s VPN settings from abroad once because it wasn’t performing as expected.

To apply the setting (through the GUI), I remembered you had to press the stop button and then the start button (there was no restart button in that menu). Guess what happened.

That looks like a single-bed hospital room. Depending on the country, they are expensive in Europe too because insurance only covers the bare minimum. Here in Germany you’ll always be sharing the room with 2 - 8 other people, even if they have an infectious disease. You’ll only get a single-bed room by paying like 200€ per day, by being immunocompromised or by having a very infectious disease.

No, they are completely meaningless.

KarAkciddent makes no sense because (as established by the top post), the German word for ‘car’ is ‘Auto’. Also, while nouns are capitalized, compound nouns only capitalize the first letter. In addition, the strings kc and dd are extremely rare in German, if there even is a word which contains them.

A better, more German looking “translation” would be ‘Autoäcksident’. The ck string is an indicator that the preceding ä has a short pronunciation. Here’s the IPA spelling of ‘accident’, just take a look how similar the Germanized spelling looks: ˈæksɪdənt. (Sidenote: the letter æ looks like ae which is equivalent to ä if you don’t have that letter on your keyboard). The actual translation of ‘accident’ is ‘Unfall’ btw. ‘Car accident’ == ‘Autounfall’

FükkenScälden makes even less sense. You can’t compound [adjective][verb]. If you insist on using umlauts (they are their own letters btw not just normal letters with decoration, the rock band Motörhead’s name makes no fucking sense either) you would probably write ‘Fückenskälden’ instead. The string kk is replaced with ck according to §3 (1) of the official rules for German (2024) [PDF]. Similarly, the [k] sound in ‘skälden’ is written with a k instead of c, as instructed by the table on §22 (1). Why did they even use c here? In the ‘KarAkcident’ word they used k for that same sound, twice!

When you rely on someone outside to complete you, you end up being that person that’s drowning, and your struggle ends up taking your would-be rescuer down with you instead. Other people don’t deserve suffering to try to fix you.

But isn’t the most effective way to prevent others from being harmed due to your own issues to simply isolate yourself from people who would potentially care? You cannot harm anyone but yourself if there is no one to see you struggling and trying to help.

None of your friends could possibly be hurt if you had zero friends.

Gott segne dich? Nein…

You don’t necessarily need speech for consent since non-verbal/mute people exist.

The equivalent of “Zangendeutsch”. Take an English sentence, translate each word 1:1 and you’ll have Zangendeutsch.

Plier English is the opposite. Take a German sentence and translate each word 1:1, ignoring all grammatical structure.
