In majority English-speaking countries maybe. Which, granted, should justify an MBE.

I’ve seen the headline several times in the last few days, still hasn’t lost its effect.

Oh, is that Bielefeld’s twin town?

Edit: : is not ’

This post can’t stop me because I can’t read.

Same. I was on reddit for 10 years, wasn’t banned once (and it’s not like I never posted anything or didn’t antagonise people). The enshittification is what made me leave.

They’re explicitly not saying that.

This IS syncthing-fork.

Why would I care what a stupid photon thinks? What has electromagnetism ever done for me? Nobody even knows what an electromagnet is!

What no don’t 😱

HAH-hah ur old

Same energy:

Is what I’m asking.

Ah, if you INSULT a police officer, that’s what’s punishable. That’s actively antagonising them, not just not liking them.

Mind you, I don’t think insulting a police officer should hold any more severe punishment than insulting anyone else. So yeah, that’s bullshit.

I’m in Germany, there’s a common myth that “Beamtenbeleidigung”, insulting an official, is a criminal offence. It’s not - if you insult anyone, regardless of their job, they can sue. Police are just more likely to actually go through with that because they have a reputation to uphold.

I haven’t seen that type of response, at least not at any significant frequency, but let me speculate wildly while accepting your premise for the moment.

People in general are less mentally resilient than they were 6-10 years ago, what with The Everything And All That In The Everywhere At All Times. That might manifest in less patience and less willingness to indulge beginners. So I don’t think it’s a conscious thing meant to gatekeep anything, people just don’t have the capacities to explain things again and again in detail (especially when they think the answer is easily found using the search engine of your choice) and are more easily exasperated if things don’t go smoothly.

Again, this is all assuming your premise.

Yeeeah, flaunt that pretty huge dick.

I can read at most a few characters here and there on that page so that doesn’t help ^^; What exactly is illegal in Taiwan regarding the police? They can’t read your thoughts so how would they decide whether you have contempt for the police unless you actively antagonise them?

1 - huh?

2 - huh?

3 - wild. What’s that like, thinking that the only reason to marry is to fuck? Is your professor okay?

4 - where are you that it’s not? Afaik, in most places considered “developed” you can dislike police as much as you please. There may be consequences if you resist their actions but that’s a different issue.

5 - I don’t know if I agree that it’s “market” (because if your neighbour has chickens and you have a cow and you trade your milk for their eggs that’s a market) but the complexity of modern production and global trade. There’s just no way anyone can really understand all the processes so there is necessarily a level of abstraction that alienates you from what is happening at the other end.

6 - duh.

7 - sure lol

Can the human identify the parts with the bicycle in it for me? I’d have to thoroughly consider whether that might be worth 20k.

That’s why “hospitable” isn’t anything you expect the average hospital to be.
