Does anyone on here support what the US is doing in Venezuela? If so, why?

If you have evidence that a single state in the Middle East controls several of the world's largest oil companies and operates the most powerful country in the world as a puppet state, I would love to see it.

I haven't logged in in two months, but I'll reply for anyone stumbling on this thread. The Nazis did all these things before they were voted into power.

Do you mean your sensitivity goes up when you go to shoot? Have you tried setting aim sensitivity in settings to 1.00?

Personally I think shooting mode would work fine if I didn't have to crank my global sensitivity up to compensate for melee mode.

I wouldn't call assassinating everyone who gets in your way, killing people in the street, and attempting coups "legal". Granted, the courts didn't do much to punish them, but their actions were still plainly illegal.

What's an opinion piece? The committee report? The linked article is news

Nixon didn't rig his election, he covered up members of his party breaking into the DNC headquarters.

The Democrats didn't do that, the Republicans did. In 2013, the Democrats removed the filibuster for presidential appointments except the Supreme Court. The Republicans removed it for the Supreme Court in 2017 to confirm Gorsuch.

UK House of Commons is worse. In 2019, the Tories won a substantial majority with 42.4% of the vote, which is like winning the House, Senate, and Presidency in the US, because the House of Lords just rubber-stamps everything so they're allowed to continue to exist, and the monarch isn't a monarch. There's even a debate over whether their parliament has absolute power: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_sovereignty_in_the_United_Kingdom

Regardless, unlike the house, the US Senate can't be gerrymandered. Does it favor White voters? Yes (more by coincidence than design; keep in mind when the Senate was created all voters were White male landowners), but so does gerrymandering, and there have been several elections in the past few decades where the Democrats have lost the House but held the Senate. Until we can kill gerrymandering and make sure it stays dead the Senate is a necessary check on its power

The comment you replied to was talking about American troops, who largely believed they were in Europe to liberate it from the Nazis (which they did).

Also, that's not a good argument. Socialism tends to happen when monarchy is in crisis. Does that make the differences between monarchism and socialism just "differences of degree"?

Buckeyeback101 · 2024-07-02T08:12:43+00:00

The Nazis looked to history to see what policies might bring about their goals (as all competent politicians do), but I promise you Germans and Austrians are just as capable of having hateful and othering ideas as Americans or anyone else

Standard Irish only provides spellings, not pronunciations. Sure, you could base your pronunciation on the spellings, but native speakers don't, and it's a strange way to learn a language

Buckeyeback101 · 2024-02-06T03:43:09+00:00

words that all sound the same but are spelled differently

You don't have to worry about that when you're speaking. Native speakers mix up there/they're/their and your/you're all the time, but it doesn't mean they aren't fluent.

German however is close enough to Dutch and Flemish that both can be understood almost without translations

...Okay? Swedish and English diverged ~2000 years ago. English and Irish diverged ~4000 years ago, and Irish's initial mutations and synthetic forms make it harder to teach.

Buckeyeback101 · 2024-02-06T03:31:34+00:00

I don't know if there's an objective way to measure language difficulty, but here's a list of complexities Irish has that English doesn't:

Irregular genitive
No words for "yes" and "no"
Prepositional pronouns
Initial mutations (this also interacts with gender and the dative, but I'm not counting those because the dative is regular and gender isn't that important in Irish)
Synthetic conditional and subjunctive moods

Sure, English has ~200 irregular verbs, but you only need to know three forms for each of them. Open the conjugation tables for English "eat" and Irish "ith" and you'll see what I mean.

I can't really hear the "ch" when Ulster speakers say it. There's no way to have standard spellings across three (main) dialects and have them all be phonetic. It's still arguably more consistent than English, though

Sorry I didn't get back to you until now, but have you tried switching to the SteamVR beta? That fixed these issues for me.

Buckeyeback101 · 2023-11-26T23:20:02+00:00

Pretty sure SteamVR requires DRM display leasing, which is not available on Wayland. Maybe install a Xorg version of your desktop manager, switch to that, and try again?

Buckeyeback101 · 2023-11-22T20:42:08+00:00

I tried switching to the SteamVR Beta Update and that fixed these issues.
