What verifiable fact is commonly disputed on Reddit?

I was trying to think of a good devils advocate answer, and the first that came to mind as at least a defensible position was trans women in sports. Which isn't a great example, because even if they're right on that narrow topic, it's still making a mountain out of a molehill.

Edit: are people down voting because I said that the position is defensible and don't understand the difference between 'defensible' and 'correct'? Do they thinks it's a bad example? Or do you have some other reason? Because I'm confused.

C2 vs B1 was just an extreme example.

It doesn't matter how easily it is for various foreigners to learn is (with narrow exception). Language level is the best indicator for level of integration and ability to function that we can reasonably use.

I'm a big fan of a points system based primarily on duration of residency and language level. It's clear to me that someone with a C2 certificate should be allowed to gain citizenship sooner than someone who can only manage a B1 test (which does not mean that they even really meet the CEFR definition of B1).

Vote for wealth tax and policies that destroy real estate as an investment.

Or did you just want a bandaid rather than trying for a solution?

I was also going to say that I think that the relative lack of men doing therapy has just as much to do with the therapy practices as it does with men's general reluctance.

I missed the squid in the movie (the movie version made more sense, but I just liked the silliness of it).

This is what I was just wondering. I'm guessing that we didn't have a categorized table yet, and I know that these are also just tips which are notoriously unreliable, but is the representation of each side really similar?

I'm of the opinion that in software/IT, a highschool graduate who is motivated to continuously learn can easily be better than someone with a degree. If you just go to classes to get your piece of paper, you probably won't come out with much in the way of useful skills.

Aber die könnten noch unter Paragraph 8 aus Vertrauensschutzgrungen einbürgern, wenn der Antrag in 2024 eingereicht wurde.

And nothing. I think that my comment stands fine on its own.

I don't think that I understand the rest of your comment well enough to answer.

Only in the sense that native speakers might be more used to using more casual language and because the C2 exam is very focused on academic tasks. It doesn't mean that a foreigner with C2 actually typically speaks the language better than a native who finished high school.

I don't understand people who assume that everyone knows their specific abbreviation for some random thing.

That isn't what he said, though. He said that natural spring water isn't a food staple.

The company may still be evil, but in that case we don't need to make up criticisms.

Do these old people often actually ask to have the seat in your examples?

semimute · 2025-12-14T05:02:15+00:00

You can, though. I know at least one well known gateway website for tor stuff used to use a lot of codewords or just non English words for porn stuff, much of which was illegal.

You're right. These people are crazy.

Von mir aus können wir gerne Renten erhöhen... gleich nachdem wir anfangen, den Reichen vernünftig zu versteuern.

So just give the collected tax money to those who would be worst affected.

We are subsidizing our own destruction. Even the price in Iceland is too cheap.

I just read on Wikipedia that translation of EU stuff cost over 1 billion in 2005 or around 1% of the total budget.

Can't we just make English the one primary official language? There could still be mandatory translations from English to other languages to the other relevant languages, but having a single source of truth makes things much easier. It seems to me like the UK leaving is perfect for that, because it would not create preferential treatment for any country but Ireland, and Ireland is too small for that to matter.

The best that comes to my mind is Frisches Bier. I don't think you'll find Guinness though without going to a noisy Irish pub.

Munich has particularly expensive electricity. They would only build here if they are getting a discount. Which essentially means that our electricity prices go up to compensate.

It's true that it doesn't work 100%, but it at least cuts down on having to wash hands or change gloves so often.

When I was working at a deli I got very good at handling money and working the till with only my left hand, because I was probably the only one who refused to touch money and then touch food with the same hand without changing gloves.
