In France "your/its mother" (ta/sa mère) is a swear word - shorthand for "fuck your mother" (nique ta mère)

In 10 years the poop post will be up there remembered as one of the legendary old asklemmy posts

There are also people who do not fall into that category yet still get called Nazis by political opponents.

"Ten times closer" is pretty unambiguously 0.1. What starts getting more confusing is "300% further" which is technically 4 but many understand as 3 (try replacing by 50%, 50% further is 1.5 not 0.5). Also "50% closer" being the same as twice closer while 50% further is only 1.5x further can get confusing too, and it gets even worse with "50% slower" - is speed now 1/1.5 (= it takes 50% more time) or 0.5/1 (= speed is reduced by 50%) ?

There might have been a misunderstanding. I understood "district" as in congressional districts as that's usually what it means in the context of US election. Here in France we also have several "voting desks" (bureau de vote) in the same building, but I didn't know these were also called districts in English

I don't know what Plato is either.

Your translation is correct btw although I'd translate it as "games and group chats" but it can mean both. And indeed "Chats" can mean cats but doesn't here

three districts use that building

Uhh what ? That sounds like a lot of people in the same voting building

Indeed, as I clarified under another comment

Tbh I know little about the topic and was under the (maybe wrong) impression than many sex workers are poor people that need to do it to survive. But then I guess the issue I was pointing is more about our capitalist society than about sex work

Does getting paid still counts as "sans coercion" though ?

Meanwhile in France

A simple "a lot" would do fine. "Orders of magnitude" as someone else suggested would work too.

Math (I'm a graduate student). And "exponentially more experienced than the average" means nothing as exponential is a progression, not a comparison between two values.

Only French speakers will get that one. Bonjour !
