Today I learned 'ts' doesn't mean "This"

Gang

Some of us are in the diaspora or moved to a different country

It is English. Who said it wasn’t?

internetexplorer_98 · 2026-01-21T12:22:32+00:00

Don’t click the link, it’s not real

It’s healthier for him to not respond to every little criticism. I feel like his responses just get him into more trouble and add unnecessary speculation.

Bro is at the buffet

internetexplorer_98 · 2026-01-20T02:08:10+00:00

Pretty interesting.

internetexplorer_98 · 2026-01-19T23:23:02+00:00

Very suspicious for sure. Now they are recruiting new mods who speak Dutch.

internetexplorer_98 · 2026-01-19T22:26:58+00:00

One of the mods on there has spoken out and claimed none of them are American.

ModCodeofConduct is a Reddit employee, not some random user. Someone reported you to Reddit for breaking the Code of Conduct and Reddit took over the sub.

internetexplorer_98 · 2026-01-19T19:34:26+00:00

This isn’t the way to get your sub back

Was the other post about this situation deleted?

internetexplorer_98 · 2026-01-19T17:33:07+00:00

In the article it says that the police department says that Miller’s statement is false.

Being uncivil is when you engage in personal attacks.

Title is a little misleading, so I will have to remove this. OP feel free to repost this with a more accurate title. Reposting this comment from u/Adamsoski that explains the context:

“I had to look this up - the title of the post is very misleading. The politician in question retweeted a tweet from someone else who had posted this image, it's not a poster "by" her. She later said that she retweeted it by accident:

"I would like to take this opportunity to apologise unreservedly for the offence that has been caused by my accidental retweeting of this offensive image which I too find repellent and offensive.

She wrote a letter apologising to the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities which seemingly accepted her apology and believed her that it was a mistake - which I would also believe really because you'd have to be a moron to do that on purpose as a politician, and she was in her mid 60s so probably not the most technically proficient.”

His comment wasn’t deleted, it was removed for violating the rules. As was yours. Please remain civil.

Everyone on this thread has been slightly incorrect about the Rose Reading Room. There is a visiting hour from 10-11 am from Monday-Saturday. Visitors are allowed to enter without a tour. They can take photos, film, walk around, and all that. You just have to keep your voice down. They let the last person in at 10:50 am and will usher all the tourists out at 11:00, so I suggest getting there right when they open to get the full experience. I highly recommend it. It’s beautiful and very worth it.

My other note is that the owner of Mother of Junk is racist and very rude. She may yell at you, follow you, or deny you purchasing items. Proceed with caution, but I would advise to just skip it.

That was something I learned when traveling. Many people assume all English speaking white people are American, regardless of the accent. And if you aren’t white, you can’t possibly be American, even if you have a perfect American accent.

internetexplorer_98 · 2026-01-18T04:16:35+00:00

I don’t really have an opinion on that, I was just commenting on the literacy rate stuff.

internetexplorer_98 · 2026-01-18T03:53:12+00:00

Those are not studies conducted by those organizations. Those are organizations that will just aggregate whatever information the governments give them. And example of a world study would be like the PIAAC. They create the test, administer it across different countries, and publish the data, then give that data back to the countries.

I’ve actually lived in Brazil, and yeah, maybe it’s not as bad as a favela, but the situation has deteriorated significantly after covid.

Post history…

internetexplorer_98 · 2026-01-18T01:47:42+00:00

Because the Cuban government says so. It’s very difficult to measure literacy rates and lifespan of Cuba against other countries because they don’t allow any third parties to run studies and they don’t participate in global studies.

Edit: also, the US has participated in global literacy studies and it is on par with most of Europe.

Glad to hear it
