  They want a backdoor to your emails while terrorism has been clear as day and they still haven’t done anything about it in Gaza.

  While I never heard that saying before, I can totally get behind it. I truly appreciate it, thanks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no (yes?), I totally get what you’re saying, and I’m able to process these situations (I think I’ve seen enough during that 15-20 years of playing with/against kids), that part doesn’t bother me; what I was really curious about is how you, personally, would interpret that brief response, without any prior context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, I don’t have a problem dealing with the nastier version, I was just wondering how you would interpret the exchange, provided it was the first and only 4 characters you see from a random person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  While I was thinking of something similar, it’s important that in this particular case we’re talking about a conversation with a stranger, and not about breaking news. Now, I get that it all depends - what I’m curious about is your assumption of the situation’s vibe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the feeling - but, considering the above, which one would you think of when setting this from someone as the first reaction?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Does adding fuck really change anything?

  Yeah, it makes it even worse : ). I was thinking just the same first - however, I’m not in my early twenties / late teens anymore, and I’ve been wondering if that was the case with the younger generation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How would you take 'stfu' from a stranger online, provided what you said wasn't meant to be funny?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  shut up is also a rude phrase in english

  I was thinking the same! But I started seeing videos lately where a conversational partner (typically a young girl, but could be some bias) responded with ‘shut up’ in a cheerful manner, seemingly meaning some pleasant surprise mixed with disbelief. And this feels rather recent to me - hence my doubt. But I’m relieved if I’m not the only one, thanks. I wonder if it’s a generational (or a non-existent?) thing.

  It would surely be much more peaceful. Let’s just re-draw the borders and leave everything else. Just look at them spooning lovingly.

  Wow. You got it perfectly right: everybody knows where that plastic went. This is why I wrote it like that, and didn’t have to explain how it got dumped in the ocean all along. I wasn’t playing riddles, I assumed it was otherwise obvious and common knowledge. Jeez, sorry if it didn’t come off the way I meant.

  But about 15 years ago China stopped buying the waste

  Guess where that waste used to go

  hastighet

  As a native speaker of a language that’s unlike anything, I envy you folks so much. Knowing enough English and German you just look at it, and go ‘aaah, speediness’ (I guess the ‘hast’/‘hastig’ bit is the same as ‘haste’/‘hasty’ in English, and the ‘het’ is the same as ‘heit’ /~ness’/ in German).

  You wouldn’t guess the word, reading it in context is so much easier.

  First I wanted to say they probably wanted to write Camellia. Nope, it’s not even a similar flower.

  Non-native here. For a good half a minute I couldn’t wrap my head around legs having to do anything with “door guards”.

  One of my kind colleagues asked another - “What are you sewing?”. It was both unoffensive and funny enough to get them to stop.

  You know what, I wouldn’t even bother if it happened once. I wouldn’t like to be in the same situation, and while I would ask first, I understand we’re not the same. The moment it happens the second time, though… Pure laxative with white food colouring.

  Hungary has the same system. Or “half five” actually being 16:30. It’s been hella fun getting used to “half five” meaning 17:30. Constant confusion.
