What a hot pile of garbled mess… I envy your confidence talking about things that you evidently have absolutely no idea about.
Great idea! Let’s also expel Italy with its fascist government, or France where the nazi woman got 40+% of the votes last time, or the Dutch and their largest faction in their parliament that happens to be far right. Shall I continue?
The English word ‘speaker’ has multiple meanings. In Hungarian, there is a different word for a speaker device that casts sound (hangszóró, “sound caster”) and Speaker of the House of Parliament (házelnök, “president of the house”).
Still, when googling one, you may get results for the other. 🤷
We promise it won’t happen again, but when it does happen again, it still won’t matter.
Rest assured that when it does, we will make every effort to promise once more that it won’t happen again.
I’m not familiar with the books, and the plot summary of their Wikipedia article does not mention nuclear propulsion whereas the article for the series does, so I went with that.
Unless what bothers you is the x followed by the apostrophe and the s, which I never know when to omit the s, so it is what it is.
It’s not uncommon in scifi. Netflix’s Three Body Problem also explores such a solution in quite some depth.
I was listening to a podcast on moral philosophy (wouldn’t you wanna be as cool as me??), and one suggestion that’s stuck with me was the morality of, trigger warning,
‘life like child sex robots’.
As in, would we as a society want to permit such things, knowing that they could potentially save humans from actual harm if they offer an outlet that scratches an itch? On the other hand, would they bring forth more harmful desires in a greater number of potential perpetrators, leading to even more harm?
Anyway, I’m glad it’s not my job to contemplate such disturbing topics.
Cannon fodder is a gender neutral job.
If they just stay home, that’s half the battle…
What if it’s a new couple of two homeowners who move in together, should they sell one property before the relationship solidifies?
What if the grandchildren are in secondary school when Nana dies, is the family allowed to hold on to this second property for the few years until the kids move out/in?
What if you accept a contract position in another town, should you be forced to sell and buy, or is it okay to rent out the home you have and rent another elsewhere?
My point is that there is nuance at the lower end of the scale, and the enemy is big corporations and landlords of massive portfolios.
Leasehold is a type of property where you rent the land for a really long time (decades), and build your house on it. Every few years you extend the lease so it has no risk of running out. You don’t know how much the landlord will charge you, or indeed if they extend, although there are some legal protections for leaseholders.
She thought she’d make a quick buck doing a stock photo shoot, and bam! innuendo.
I would never sell my photos, not because of the heartbreak if nobody would want to buy them, but because I wouldn’t want to be neither the face of incontinence or erectile dysfunction, nor do I want to become the next Hide The Pain Harold or Distracted Boyfriend.
Hah, my work is similar, that’s brilliant actually.
As I’m writing this comment I’m using words often used by William Shakespeare, Winston Churchill, Lady Gaga, as well as words featured in the King James Bible.
Don’s tongue between Uncle Vova’s cheeks.
Oh so that’s why it’s buggered! Bugger…
The weirdest panto in town.
But some people from Lesbos are more lesbian than others.
A few years ago somebody pointed out that twump looks like the front end of a centaur and I cannot unsee it.
Then again, his current posture could be the successful result of a species realignment surgery from mythical to femboy.
