It’s called xenophobia, the fear and dislike of anything foreign. Some people believe that if your group isn’t dominant it will be dominated, and peaceful coexistence isn’t possible between different groups.

These people are afraid that, if the English language isn’t forced onto other people, one day other people will force a foreign language onto them.

They hired a gay actor specifically so they could shoot this one scene.

Chess player Andrea Botez started an onlyfans page where she posted videos of herself being mated.

It’s probably one of the more fair ways for people to get paid for sex work. I’ve read stories of porn actresses making $5,000 a month through big name studios switching to OnlyFans and making $30,000 a month.

I’d say even in general it’s better for people who create content to sell directly to consumers instead of working for a corporation.

Worst one is probably Apple. They just announced “Apple Intelligence” which is just ChatGTP whose largest shareholder is Microsoft. Figure that one out.

en passant is an abomination. In this house we play pre-1561 chess.

Then you gotta pretend you only have American Express.

Same here. There’s nothing tying me to Windows other than that’s what I already have installed. Microsoft already announced a forced upgrade to Windows 11 next year. If I’m being forced to change my OS anyways I’m going to pick a Linux distro.

Windows has WinGet now. It’s probably already installed but if not, their install page says it can be installed from the Microsoft Store. It also has WSL for running Linux programs.

Using a browser to download a browser is for people who don’t know how to use a package manager.

The letters are the front are the protocol you’re accessing the site through. http is for unencrypted webpages and https is for encrypted web pages.

For a webpage to be encrypted they need a certificate from a certificate authority which verifies the person who asks for the certificate actually runs the server they want the certificate for. The page you link doesn’t have a certificate and so the web page cannot be accessed with https. Your browser should tell you a secure connection could not be made with the server. That’s what it does for me.

If you’re getting a different page you probably have a virus which is serving fake certificates to your browser and redirecting your traffic to a scam server. You probably shouldn’t be typing passwords into your browser until you fix that.

Another one Japan uses is “草” (pronounced: kusa) the kanji for “grass”. Because “wwwww” looks like a field a grass

People can learn more than one language. If you speak English you can learn Mandarin and increase the people you can communicate with by billions. There is no “one language” because people can know more than one language at a time

This was tried in court. The response from the judge was “If the man is dead, then he cannot petition the court. If the man is not dead, then his life sentence has not been served.” An excellent exchange of sophistry!

Buying a competing business and then shutting it down is what all big tech companies do. They don’t actually want to run that business, but they also don’t want anyone else to run it.

Also being the most abused drug. I’d say that would be caffeine. There are more people who take caffeine daily than cannabis. But this seems to be about “bad” drugs, not “good” drugs.

I’m still here! Thanks for the necro!

Looking into it, there doesn’t seem to be any historical references to Romans releasing prisoners on passover. His alleged crime was murdering a roman, and it’s unlikely that roman leadership would overlook this even if they did release a prisoner on passover. Also, the name of the prisoner released, Barabbas, translates to “son of the father” which is way too on the nose.

Exactly what Alina Habba did and it cost him $83.3 million.
