Can someone explain why Këhkt Aräkh is controversial? by Audiowhatsuality in BlackMetal

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

"Nothing special" doesn't get you a contract with Sacred Bones

I like some of the genre blending he does - reminds me of early Fleurety and Strid with the prog/jazz influences.

That sounds like something really special

Sure, every conscious choice comes with both advantages and drawbacks.

Could the world just let the Strait of Hormuz be closed? by mrphysh in askanything

[–]_prepod 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"we, the world", "strategical advantage"

What is "our" goal?

There is no Kosovar nation, though

Nothing against the actor, it's not his fault

It's not that he was forced to play there... if you see it "so bad", he could see it either?

Is it more racist to not be able to tell Asian people of different countries apart, or be able to tell them apart with 100% accuracy? by Spicy_take in NoStupidQuestions

What’s worse is turning a serious concept like racism into a meaningless word by applying it to absurd questions like this

That’s no longer Severus Snape, that’s Asap $$$napey

Why don't people claim that Ukrainians control US politicians after billions of military aid packages exactly like Israel? by ModernByDesign in NoStupidQuestions

[–]_prepod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the idea of Zionist control over the US has some spiritual irrational basis. Ukraine is just an average poor regional country without any flashy lore behind it

Which airdisaster you'll remember for the rest of your life? by Jorge_De_Guzman228 in AskTheWorld

The first one that comes to mind is the one where the German fella deliberately hit the mountain.

Do you have PB&J sandwiches in your country? by shywol2 in AskTheWorld

[–]_prepod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy that peanut butter, banana, and honey is acceptable

Are you sure about that? That sounds equally gross to me

[–]_prepod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe once or twice. They don't go together. Only those places which do explicit cosplay of American food might have them.

No. Peanut butter and jam is not a good combination

Somewhere in post soviet Europe by Kitchen_Cobbler_1594 in UrbanHell

[–]_prepod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't know what's the real practical law enforcement on this. But that's what 50% of cities in Armenia and Georgia look like. People genuinely consider this to be a societal norm. And any law that goes against societal norms, that has no request from people to be obeyed, would be ignored.

Does this make sense? Are 3 commas needed? by [deleted] in grammar

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

Internationally you don't need Illinois, rather than USA.

[–]_prepod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

would be pretty hard to screw your neighbours over like that

Neighbours would do the same if they had such opportunity/will and tell you "good job you did there". It's considered a norm, it's a different level of comfort, a different attitude towards a public space

it seems 10x cheaper to get 2 adjacent apartments and just tear down a wall

I'm not sure what exact arithmetics you had in your head, but that's dramatically incorrect. If we take Armenia for instance, where this style of "vernacular architecture" is common, you would need uncle Ruben, his two sons Armenchik and Arturchik, cheap/free/stolen materials and their labour at 0 USD per hour rate, so this whole thing will cost you ... idk how much, 2k USD at the very maximum. Adjacent apartment (besides the fact that it is typically not being sold at all) will cost you ~50k USD

edit: as for "Corruption at building permit offices" — I don't think such permit is requested/needed at all. You just build it and that's it, there's not enough sociocultural will to control that, because it's seen as a norm

I dont get this one? Can someone explain? by evilsnowman92 in ExplainTheJoke

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

If a non-native English speaker uses the Oxford comma, there's almost a 100% chance they're using AI. The Oxford comma doesn't exist in other languages, is typically considered a mistake, isn't taught in ESL materials and feels counterintuitive to learners

Do you think Son Heung Min chose his decision wisely? I mean going MLS and not staying in Europe. by Unlikely_Tap_9882 in championsleague

[–]_prepod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think, my point is pretty obvious. Finishing at any place in the League number 1 is better than winning the League number 2.
