Would she? I’m not that informed on her politics but I think Bernie supported her, and Bernie is definitely a progressive even by rest-of-the-world standards.

Ouch… this one hurts. Especially because the wording implies it’s a family issue that’s probably not going to be resolved soon.

Wish all the best for her and her family, and hope to hear good news about it from Sora someday.

I don’t know how viable would that be on a large scale, but they could just ban all China-based companies from operating outside like the US did with Tiktok.

I think that would deal a decent blow on their economy, but I’m far from an expert in those fields so someone who knows better will probably come and debunk me.

Just a correction, it isn’t entirely certain whether he killed himself or not. The apple wasn’t tested for cyanide and the chances he just inhaled too much while working are considerable.

Well, not that it changes anything about the horrible treatment he received because of his orientation though.

THE AME MILK IS REAL

Wait, which one was the Advent video she’s talking about? Nevermind, I’m guessing it was the intro to her debut, serves me right for not watching full VODs lol

Anyway, man she’s good. The Shiori one needed a bit of work on the “r” but the others were 10/10.

It’s not even a real ad, btw.

Well, they knew it was coming though (I think?), so they were dissing them, it’s just that we didn’t know.

BOY, the quality. Loved all the outfit-swapping, and glad to see she’s still working with DuDul.

Also, holy shit the views. This could easily become one of the most viewed hololive songs.

Astel did it with his Mela cover too, people in the membership sent him an audio file and he picked some (not sure if all?) for the song. Also the video is all fanarts, iirc.

I can’t believe they’re already dissing Justice, smh

Hey, the situation isn’t so grim. At a certain point, old people will die and maybe then we’ll be able to elect sensible politicians.

Wasn’t aware that EVs were already that heavy. Then yeah, I guess that’s definitely not feasible, at least not at the moment.

So it looks like we have:

-Singer Mommy (British I guess?)

-Gamer Gremlin

-Weeb Artist

…and I’m not sure what to expect from Cecilia. If classical music is actually one of her focuses it could be interesting. Looking forward to all four!

Didn’t sodium batteries start getting marketed recently?

He’s a whistleblower. Corrupt corpos/countries hate whistleblowers. Reddit/Lemmy users hate corrupt corpos/countries. There.

It’s as easy as that, no need to bring out conspiracies.

I personally already know the connotation of “female/s” in English and avoid using it, so that’s not an issue for me.

It was more of a reminder (to some native speakers, yeah, I shouldn’t have generalized) not to assume the worst of people saying it, because they might not know. In the whole thread there was just this one comment reminding people that ESL people exist, and it was pretty downvoted so I wanted to add on that.

Plus, as you said, most of those Tate-types have a dozen other red flags attached to them, so imo there’s not really any point in attacking people just for misusing a word (especially online where you can’t rely on vocal inflection or accent). It just drives non-native speakers away from conversations.

(Also, ironically, as far as I know “cunt” is pretty much a greeting in Australia so even from that alone you can’t really assume anything. Context is always important, unless you know 100% you’re speaking with someone who grew up in the same country)

This, so much. In my language, even as little kids, they called us “males and females”, very rarely “boys and girls”.

Native speakers need to understand that not everyone knows all the connotations that come from every english word. Especially considering some of them are vastly different based on whether it’s used in USA, UK or Australia.

Eh… with Europe being ignored time after time, an entire European gen seems a bit too much hopium. But hey, I’d definitely appreciate it.
