  • Any word can be used as a slur? Really? Please explain what a slur is to you. I agree that every word can be used as an insult, you absolute Brokkoli, but that's down to tone and context, more than anything, isn't a slur more than that?

  • Well, the original thesis was "that only men like", so enbys are definitely included

  • Gravity isn't a force, strictly speaking. Objects move along geodesics in spacetime (that's basically a straight line along a curved surface), and gravity bends spacetime, and therefore also these geodesics, around massive objects. So you don't actually get accelerated by gravity, that's why you don't feel anything during free fall. What we perceive as the force of gravity pushing us down, is the solid ground accelerating us upwards, when following the geodesic would have us fall instead.

    So when the sun disappears, the geodesic that used to spiral around the sun suddenly straightens out, and the neutral movement, the new free fall, has the earth continuing in a straight line. You wouldn't be able to feel that. What the other person said about tidal forces is true tho, it would likely cause worldwide tsunamis

  • I know you're joking, but we do not want retroactive laws

  • You're in a thread complaining about a software using a German name for it's German meaning. Your example for a 'good German name' is an English word that has German origins.

  • Uber is a loan word. Doesn't matter how your perceive it, that doesn't make it a more German. So is iceberg.

  • Bottles does often work, but my go to if often just to add them to Steam as a non-steam game, and let proton figure it out

  • Then you just need to forget everything you know... Traumatic head injury?

  • You're in a thread complaining about a software using a German name for it's German meaning (Flohmarkt means flea market). Your example for a 'good German name' is an English word that has German origins. Don't you see how those are different?

  • Oh for sure, doesn't stop schools from trying
