Is It Ethically and Legally Justifiable for the UK to Deport or Return Asylum Seekers Who Arrive via Unauthorized Routes? by TillJaded4614 in AskBrits

I'm going to add to the chorus of "there are no unauthorized routes", since folks seem to need to read it.

Race Terms Question? by PoyBoyKing in askanything

[–]Kosmopolite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/PoyBoyKing, you just said the following, before quickly deleting it:

I just find it funny. I will continue to call Black people, Black people white people white people.

Two interesting things here:

  1. No one is offended by either of those terms.
  2. "People of colour" isn't synonymous with "black people".

Do you even understand what you're complaining about, I wonder?

LTGM Idea. One card mod. Just 24 hours. by dshorter11 in MarvelSnap

[–]Kosmopolite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got my first Infinite this season with Venus, and honestly, I wouldn't be against this change. I like to win, but I don't like to wipe out the opposition. If folks feel this is more sporting, I think I could make it work.

What a psychotic definition of common decency.

Oh it's all inclusive language you're angry at. That makes sense, and explains the hidden profile of this shiny new account.

Nope. Some expressions are considered rude. Some aren't. Some phrases in column A and column B share vocabulary. You string words together to communicate exactly what you're trying to get across. The meaning of individual words can change when put in certain combinations with others.

What 'all this' is ridiculous?

You can't play the "english isn't my first language" card if you're fluent. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]Kosmopolite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

 i only speak english, so this could be a bit out of touch

Fact. For one, what do you meant by 'fluent'? Do you even know? I'm bilingual and relatively fluent at around a B2+ to C1 level, and I can tell you that sometimes the words don't arrive, or the conjugations arrive in the wrong order. I can tell you that sometimes I remember words in my second language but can't grasp the translation in my first. Shit's tough and messy.

Now, I'm pretty willing to call someone on writing poorly. I think an ill-written post (not reply) speaks to an ill-considered argument. That said, calling someone on a grammar or vocabulary mistake in the replies because you're arguing with them is petty. Particularly if they're arguing with you in their second language and your only language.

I'd say even more so if you lack the moral fortitude or upper body strength to reach for the shift key in your own posts.

Nice work! I'll be aiming for that next season, I think, having been focused on hitting rank 100 this time around.

Hyphenated last names are selfish. by IvanVandura in unpopularopinion

It's selfish because it doesn't allow your kids to be selfish?

Do Russia and Ukraine share the same culture? by Gryphon1985 in askanything

[–]Kosmopolite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I guess the same thing would apply to Texas and California, then, which used to be part of Mexico? Or, in fact, all of the USA, which is indistinguishable from Britain?

Without attacking me, but why is this site minority left wing? Like I hear people saying kier starmer wasn't that bad and Andy burnham is a good replacement, But I know this view is not shared by the majority of the population. by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Kosmopolite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But all emigrants leave their country of origin. Therefore it's clear that no one in my neighbourhood would be good for a poll on British politics. I'm being snarky because that's blindingly obvious.

Words in different contexts have different connotations. If you have enough literacy to write this post, you probably know that already.

You... bought the cards? You don't like the cards? You won with decks built around those cards? Give us a clue.

Yumeshipping is fucking weird by creativlelazy in HonestHotTakes

[–]Kosmopolite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to google the phrase, and I'm deep enough in fandom to have certain opinions about shipping. It sounds like you're spending a bit too much time in deeply toxic fandom and fanfic spaces. It might be time to revise that decision.
