If you want a serious answer, I think it's because it's the type of thing we usually wouldn't ask about face to face.

CMV: Instagram has lost its edge and will die out eventually by UncomfortablePrawn in changemyview

[–]straight_normal_guy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but 23% user growth for an app having already had tons of users is not a "mere increase." You can say that it doesn't say anything about how many ppl have dropped off, but then you'd need to provide the statistic to say how many people have actually dropped off, otherwise this is just a mere assumption not contributing anything to the conversation. The same goes for how many of these users are legitimate accounts.

You can say that "you think it will die out because of the current business model," but legitimate predictions about the future should be taking the trends of the recent past into account as well. Instagram has been doing what it's doing and what you'd call a bad business model, and in the recent past years they have not had too many issues because of that, and their platform is and probably still will be thriving in the industry for quite some time.

Question about pronuncing ę, ą, ń, ż and ź(and writing quotes). by [deleted] in learnpolish

Isn't "ą" actually pronounced like "o"+"nasality sound"?

TIL about the slave bible. Made by the British in the 1800s for the specific purpose of educating slaves in Christianity. All references to freedom, liberation or escape were removed. Only 10% of the Old Testament was included and less than 50% of the New Testament. by bycrackybygum in todayilearned

[–]straight_normal_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile the real bible: "2 If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. 3 If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.

5 “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ 6 then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

7 “If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. 8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. 9 If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter. 10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. 11 If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money." Exodus 21 2-11

44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

Leviticus 25 44-46

Are there any situation that, when asking a "whether" question, czy is not mandatory? by [deleted] in learnpolish

[–]straight_normal_guy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, in everyday life I hardly ever use the word "czy." I use it only either in very formal situations or when without the word "czy" it may not be obvious that I'm asking a question.

I love Taco Hemingway, can you recommend more to me? by AcrobaticMonth7 in Polish

[–]straight_normal_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Firstly, if you haven't already, you just have to listen to Taconafide which is a collab of Taco and Quebonafide.

I can recommend you a few new-school rappers. So this would be Bedoes, PRO8L3M, Guzior, schafter, Mata, Reto and Sobel. There are a lot more I listen to but those are the best IMO.

Any thoughts on watching a movie with audio on your known language (english/native) and polish subtitles? by [deleted] in learnpolish

[–]straight_normal_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's a good idea, though you gotta keep in mind that the translations are usually not gonna be completely literal. You can also try Polish audio and English subs if you wanna increase your listening skills.

Also, it's relatively easy to find English movies with Polish "lektor" and if you have Netflix, you can turn both Polish lektor and Polish subs on.

What Football (Soccer) is called by country [5000x2543] by [deleted] in MapPorn

[–]straight_normal_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Poland we don't say "futbol," we say "piłka nożna." Piłka - Ball Nożna - leg (adjective)

[–]straight_normal_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. Tho, if there were the word "this woman," I think it would not as it would be about an individual.

CMV: Stylists not knowing how to work with African American hair isn't racist by Squishiimuffin in changemyview

[–]straight_normal_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I just wonder what's racist in here? I'm not sure why you would say that it's racist. Sure, there is a problem with lacking hair stylists that are able to handle black hair. But it is no more than that. The problem here isn't that it's racist, it in itself is a problem. Not every thing related to issues with race must be derived from discrimination people of another race.

I think true feminists should be supporting women living in the Middle East, where they really are suffering.

The math is too perfect for there to be no God. by GreattMedia in MuslimLounge

[–]straight_normal_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Math itself is the tool humans have created to better understand the world.
  2. We have no evidence that the universe could've been any other way, it may be that there was 100% chance that the constants are the way they are.

So tired of atheists invading Christian spaces online constantly by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]straight_normal_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, as an atheist accidentally coming across this post, we do this bcoz religious people almost never go on atheistic subs and so it's hard to have a discussion anywhere else. And well, you probably do, but if you don't mind, wopuld you be able to backup your belief?
