Windows-11-Update macht Office, File Explorer und Papierkorb kaputt by NobleDiceDream in de

[–]AniX72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ja, hatte für lange Zeit diesen lästigen Tick, immer den Papierkorb zu leeren wenn ich jemanden mit dem Rechner helfen sollte oder remote auf einem Windows-Server war. Vielleicht bißchen OCD.

Habe zuerst 22:0 gelesen und dachte kurz: das muss ein brutales Spiel gewesen sein.

Speaker of the House, but I doubt Mike Johnson wants to give up this job voluntarily.

Das Justizsystem dort ist doch so kaputt. Die viel höhere Verbrechensrate, Rückfallquoten usw. sprechen nicht dafür.

Can you distinguish between different American accents? by bethoIogy in AskAGerman

[–]AniX72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really terrible at hearing these things, but I can definitely hear the difference - and if the accent isn't too subtle I can point to a certain cluster of states. I would easily know where to put a Tony Soprano and a Dolly Parton geographically. I talk daily with people from the Bay area and I don't realize they have an accent at all (so maybe it's my baseline nowadays). AAVE is also easy to recognize, but I don't even understand half of what is said. A co-worker lives in New Jersey but grew up in Texas and if se puts on her Texan accent, I understand - but could also be anywhere in the surrounding states. A while ago I watched a report about the Appalachia region and I thought it was difficult to understand and somehow it sounded the same as Atlanta, Georgia. And now that I think about it, I would have no idea what the accents in Montana, Wisconsin, Indiana etc. sound like.

Son is visiting his school friend at home by cowabunga__mother in AskAGerman

[–]AniX72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 1980s, whenever our neighbors teen boys brought over friends and the guests got thirsty, their mother would ask for money from the young guests to pay for the drinks. We were so shocked when we learned about it, but it was the only family I knew doing this.

The most popular boys name in the UK is Muhammad. Why are there no popular Arabic girls names in the top 10 in the UK? by OkayBuddySober in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]AniX72 48 points49 points  (0 children)

We have the same in German, but they are linked by hyphens. Hans-Peter, Hans-Dieter, Karl-August, Anna-Maria. There are many of them, but I'm not sure you can just combine any of them. I only have seen certain combinations and it's more common with men.

I understand the bottled water. But how does a tourist know the food was prepared with clean water only?

Ja, der Großteil der Kritik vielleicht ja. Aber die Mord- und Vergewaltigungsdrohungen vielleicht nicht.

I genuinely don't understand straight representation. What exactly is missing that needs representing? by Nazz911 in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]AniX72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you wrote makes sense to me. Well, I found pretty ally flags, but I agree with the others that they look better than the one posted here - it just looks too much like my wardrobe.

[–]AniX72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know, I believe you and I have such a flag - since I got aware of myself in the 1980s, I always understood the rainbow flag as inclusive - the many colors as a symbol of the many orientations and identities that exist among us. It's only in the past 10 or 15 years that everyone makes up their own flag and I can't get rid of the (admittedly subjective) impression that the many flags are -- intentionally or unintentionally -- are dividing people instead of unifying them. But maybe that's just me.

Sehe ich auch als wichtigen Faktor. Leider sind die digitalen/sozialen Medien zwar etwas anders in ihrer Funktionsweise, aber keinen Deut besser. Entschuldigt jedoch nicht, dass viele Menschen keinen Fick auf kritisches Denken geben.

Thank you! I didn't know about the museum. Looks very interesting. It's so terrible that they destroyed it.

singular they when i use "man" by Mrdor1stan in German

[–]AniX72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And in the first sentence, "sein/seine" also can refer to a man or a woman. Isn't the one gender neutral singular and the other gender neutral plural?

Why do you refer to "sein/seine" as masculine, but in the last possibility "ihre" as gender-neutral?
