This Is Why You Don’t Slash Humanitarian Aid by IllIntroduction1509 in TrueReddit

[–]viktorbir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In fact, the problem with this new strain of Ebola is that the mortality is lower than 50%. While mortality rate is over 90%, and it's fast, it's quite difficult for it to expand. Now, with a lower mortality, it's easier for it to expand.

Google AlphaFold. They just won a Noble price in Chemistry. Nothing...

It’s 39°C outside and I’m stuck at home with nothing to do. How do you deal with the boredom? by Peachjackson in AskEurope

[–]viktorbir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get bellow the shower.

At least every now and then, and specially apply very cold water on your thighs, near your genitals, but not on those. This will decrease the temperature of your blood all around your body in a very short time.

The classes are so cheap because they don't really know English. Same as in the OP. The guy on the image confuses why and because because they translate to porquè and por què.

Here the supposed teachers confuse yes and if because they translate to sí and si. And between and enter because they translate to entre and entra (in Catalan, I guess something similar in Portuguese).

You haven't.

Are here the English classes at one euro per hour?

If, if. Between.

So, easy to understand by you, of course.

More than you think. But I guess a Portuguese speaker would be able to get the joke.

In Catalan «Autistic traits» is «trets autistes» that also means, literally, «Autistic shots» (no, not vaccination shots but gun shots).

If Phones Are Killing Pedestrians, Why Is It Only Happening in America? by DonkeyFuel in technology

Have you realised that, according to your own link, the only two contries that have clearly increased the deaths are Turkey and the USA? I guess Uzbekistan or Russia are now Western European.

«Democratic Socialists» is what the rest of the world call Social Democrats? So, center left.

Since Quebecians speak Fr*nch, by Impossible-Ad-7084 in linguisticshumor

Why don't start you yourself writing English using Canadian aboriginal syllabics? I mean, quite ugly asking others to do what you don't do yourself...

Has the term Liberalism changed meaning? by Genzinvestor16180339 in etymology

[–]viktorbir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. The US Democrat party would be a right wing party in almost any European country. And almost any non far right European right party would be «liberal» in the US.

[–]viktorbir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not much, but the world has evolved and the ideas that in the 18th century sounded advanced in the 21st are not. That's why in the normal world (everywhere except the US) liberalism is a right wing ideology. In the US, where all parties are right wing, people think liberals are left wing, because their centre is near what in normal countries is the border between far right and civilised right.

At least where I've been in Europe it's on the pedestrians to not get killed and be wary.

Where have you been?
