it’s either:
no other choice.
“loosing” can only be used immediately before “the dogs of war”.
even in that case, usage of -ing form is poor grammar which takes away potential choices of phrasing and reduces possibilities for creativity.
great nepotastic headline, Tom’shardware…
how can you tell which are a , b , c , d? the choice letters all look like Kirby, vomit, etc 🤣
they’re not gonna listen to it…
does proton want to be constantly harassed (aka investigated informally without charges nor warrants) by fbi, police, mi5, mi6, Interpol, Europol, etc etc via kyc laws and money laundering laws because a few hundreds/thousands petitioners said “do this”? they would receive even more requests for user data (which often don’t require warrants in many countries btw) than they already receive.
or would they rather continue to enable millions of users to escape censorship while still making lots of money and only sometimes harassed by LE?
in other words do you think proton is a conscience with software attached? or are they a money-making company that has slightly better values than certain other companies?
(rhetorical questions. i know the answers already)
no personal offense intended.

OUT OH MY GOD THANK YOU
i was incensed by the exclusivity announcement. i couldn’t understand why an indie developer (if they have any ethics) would sell out like that… of course i was answering my own question…
disclaimer: i don’t necessarily hate Netflix contents. i hate corporations trying to expand into everything, every market, every region, every industry and capture all resources and all customers like if Spectre from James Bond was a giant amoeba with a binge eating fetish.
edit: spelling/auto-complete 🤦
using romaji as a guide to pronounce is problematic no matter what system. pronouncing strictly based on kana is not problem free either. Korean hangul romanization may be a more obvious example of the dissonance with pronunciation but Japanese also has it.
most effective is to rely primarily on listening.
having grown up in US, I can say that our English instruction for anglophone natives draws a false equivalence between pronunciation and orthography/spelling. this creates a counterproductive mindset for approaching new languages.
i hope they suffer emotionally as well.
what’s “yaknow”?
I’ve never seen a real yak (in person) neither now nor any other time
some people believe flirting is a goal in itself or an indispensable part of life for a valid human. meaning, these type of people can’t conceive the existence of someone who doesn’t flirt nor one who doesn’t enjoy flirting. that’s very dehumanizing for others of us.
not everyone is capable of flirting.
i have no interest in relationship discussion communities but speaking as a privacy supporter, using gender neutral language can have the benefit of:
if you’re not actually promoting gmail, you ought to make that explicitly clear.
by pointing out something bad about proton and praising gmail’s version of that, it looks like you’re doing nothing other than recommending gmail in a privacy community.
everyone already knows gmail has high usability and convenience and zero (financial) cost. using it as an example in this community is redundant and ineffective. better to use another e2ee email service as an example.
my favorite feature of freetube is the channel blocking and keyword blocking. my block list is probably thousands of items by now. consequently, my second favorite feature is the ability to hide the block lists 😂
(my fav feature is different than most important feature, which is of course privacy from YT/Big G. so please don’t complain that i don’t care about privacy)
in all seriousness, palantir and clearview are way more dangerous than most of the other shit going on out there. only Putin has greater max evil potential (when considering not only politics and military but also Russian Mafia and western politician campaign secret donations).
theyre basically Albion from watch dogs legion.
10 years for FFXV
14 years and counting for Winds of Winter
for context. 😮💨
i have to use layers. it can get hot in the summer outdoors but for work I’m mostly indoors and the layering would hide most sweat anyway.
for me, polyester “tech” fabric shirts as base layer can balance texture/touch sensory concerns and they usually slide freely against other fabrics so it wouldn’t bunch or restrict movement.
I’ve seen some upper management wear tech fabric polo/golf shirts in the office as a single layer (i knew it was single later cuz i could see their nipples outline 🤮) maybe that is allowed in your workplace. i understand if you don’t wasn’t others to see your nipples though.
all those adults’ ignorant “encouragement” (guilt-tripping) turned out to be just more toxic positivity (toxic toxicity)
why did it take so fucking long…
that misogynist asshole has been glorifying rageporn since i was a baby.
and i am already an old bastard…
