So if a full consensus says that Nazis are bad, then they are themselves bad, not the Nazis ? And if Musk is the best of the billionaires, that says an awful lot about the others, which paints a very, very hideous world that I definitely don't want a consensus on.

The guy paves the way towards totalitarianism, but please, tell me about we should have people like him because it prevents totalitarianism.


When a music gets stuck in my head, somehow listening to it a few times makes it go away, as if I was craving it and listening to it would fill that hole.


But keeping with the US is not better both in the short and the long term, for lack of possible trust after what just happened over the course of three months.


The Saga of the seven suns has beings living in suns. Unsure how far they go with the idea,I'm missing 3 of the 7 books


I could show you my collection of broken lightning cables where the plastic just before the "meat" of the connector is split, leading to visible copper/whatever cables. Which in turn leads to broken copper/whatever cables, which are at best broking the functionality, at worse dangerous (is it?).


How big is the school, if you don't mind me asking? And was it something pushed by the parents or the school itself? Would you mind sharing the papers/mails regarding justification & such?


Sleep apnea has the symptoms of waking up in the night to go to pee, waking up in the night fully awake and sweating profusely during sleep. They are not always there, but if you have these, you may want to check with your doctor.


I find this take so odd. I presume your are from the US, which is a country with so many cultures flowing in, but from your post you will not accept that a friend of yours may have accents in their name, or that a dish may have accents in it, and will forever misspell them.

When I have friends like that (well, my brother too), I make a point of typing it the way it's supposed to be written, out of courtesy and fun and proudness, like I'm clever enough to type any character I want with my keyboard, because I master it and I master other languages. The day I'll learn how to type Chinese characters fluently, I'll be so happy ! Not to boast, but it will mean I unlocked a whole new world!


In human languages, each culture develops its own name for each different culture they interact with. That name is a separate concept to how the other culture calls themselves. Sometimes, the two names are relatively similar (France / France, though pronounced slightly differently), other times its completely different (Germany / Deutschland, Hungarian / Magyarország). This is a simple fact about how human languages work. The country called Turkey in English calls themselves Türkiye in their own language. They have asked certain international bodies to refer to them by that name as well, and those bodies have of course accepted. But those bodies do not "speak English", and there isn't any expectation that speakers of English should change their language as well.

Now, there is nothing wrong with calling it Türkiye in your own everyday speech, but it is not any kind of sign of good manners - it's simply a matter of personal taste. You'd still probably call their language "Turkish", while they call it "Türkçe", and the people living there "Turks" or "Turkish people", when they call themselves "Türkler", and even if you didn't you'd probably use your own grammar to conjugate these words as necessary etc.


yes actually? America literally doesn't use any accents so we write stuff without them. we basically never even use them on cafe, resume, words of that sort. like japanese has no L sound. so (if google translate is to be believed) their exonym for Lithuania is pronounced "Ritoania", and uses an entirely different alphabet.

if you want to learn to use endonyms for countries cool! but most people aren't interested in that level of effort for the whole world. there are ten thousand other things that occupy their minds, every one jockeying for a spot, and this being a passion of yours doesn't change that.

idk why you think there should be any different rules from this, except the general sense of anti-Americanism that seems to pervade this discussion.


That’s great of you, the burden might be different when asking hundreds of millions of people.


From the discussion with my doctor and dentist, I ended having both the cpap for home usage and the dental appliance, made by the dentist, for when I'm sleeping elsewhere. In my case (just above mild apnea), sleep is incredibly better with the cpap, and mildly better with the dental appliance,so the second one is good for temporary measures. And I resent forgetting it when it happens, as a week of poor sleep really affects my behavior.


Your partner hears it, you may hear it when it has moved a bit and the air is leaking, you hear it when you try to go to sleep and the overpressure safety valve is next to your pillow and making a wheezing sound, when you end your sleep cycle and could go to another one except that the mask moved a little and it's bothering enough to wake you up (and then you have to find sleep again), you worry about keeping it and yourself in just the right position that will allow you to go back to sleep, effectively preventing you from falling asleep because of the stress...

And I have a few reasons more,if you really need.
