And the information they publish comes from where exactly?

There is no need for snarkiness, by the way. You act like Im attacking you directly. If this is how you communicate, I'm just going to block you and move on with my life.

I'm sure the government that lied about wrongly imprisoning people in the first place is totally being truthful now.

I wouldn't take the Chinese or US government's claims at face value.

Oh no! Anyway

Why/how are the two connected?

This is it. I don't need to read any more of the thread.

True, I just suppose I feel saying a word is or isn't made up doesn't really mean anything, versus saying a word is actually actively used and understood by a group of people.

To be fair, China is 2nd in overall prison population by country globally, so it's not like their numbers are complete bs. I'm sure there is some fudging in what constitutes as a "prisoner" when they have had "re-education camps" though. That said, the US's numbers are fucking insane.

"All slang is made up" and "a lot of people are racist (or at the very least ignorant)" are not mutually exclusive statements. Finna is equally as "made up" as gonna or even skibbity.

What? You mean language changes? I can't take it, that's literally insane!

Never let a good tragedy go to waste.

It's almost like the US has 14% fluent Spanish speakers to Mexico's 4% fluent English speakers 🤔

Oh DUH. I'm over here wondering if I missed some Valve release announcement lmao. I switched to Linux a few months back and just completely forgot about that ig.

The fact that those are the comparisons you chose to use confirms you are, in fact, more like Data, hehe

Well...by the power of the inverse square law, they kinda do, I guess.

I guess I'm out of the loop - what's in October?

Criminal Cops or Criminals*

And yet we all still understood it somehow

And there will be even fewer users with a bad or lacking interface. It certainly does not solve the problem, but it helps reduce barriers to entry for new users.

For context, he was a refugee and he, along with his siblings and mother, were able to leave Nairobi to the United States in 1996, but his dad was barred from entry due to medical reasons.

This is from a game where his father had finally been able to be reunited with his family, so the stat makes sense in context hahaha

It's not unusual, it's just more recently reached a more widespread audience. It's a massively important holiday celebrating an extremely significant turning point in your country. It's an absolute shame it took it 150 years to become more widely recognized by those other than whom it directly affected.

Also, just say you're racist, bro.
