no thoughts, only froggo

  • In Finnish, "sinä" is singular "you" and "te" is plural "you". (sinä also has tons of variations in spoken language, including but not limited to: sä, sää, sie) Te is traditionally used as formal address both for authority and peers, but pretty rare nowadays. Nobody really uses it or any other formal address terms anymore, outside of certain very formal contexts, except reporters in interviews for some reason.

  • No, because who gets addressed as you and who gets addressed as thou, was dependent not on the social standing of the one being addressed, but the social standing of the speaker compared to the one they're speaking to. To put it more simply, in a given situation, the "dominant" party is addressed as you by the "subservient" party, while the subservient party is addressed as thou by the dominant party.

    So, for example, in conversation A peasant and their lord are talking. The peasant would address their lord as you, and the lord would address their subject, the peasant, as thou. But in conversation B when the lord is talking with their own liege, let's say, the king, the lord addresses the king as you and the king would address his vassal, the lord, as thou.

    In conversation A, the lord is the dominant party, and thus is to be addressed as you by the subservient party. In conversation B however, the lord is the subservient party, and thus is to be addressed as thou by the dominant party.

    So, getting back to the commandments, since in an interaction between God and a human the human always is the subservient party while God is always the dominant party, God would address the human as thou.

  • 11 probably, I spent a lot of time on Wikipedia.

  • Really depends on what they're into in general, but if they show interest in coding, I'd recommend Scratch. It's a coding platform made (primarily) for kids, I got really into it once, and still tinker with it sometimes. I'd say that Scratch is easy to learn, hard to master, and fun.

  • The point is that All Hallows Eve is a Christian holiday, and that it isn't comparable to Halloween in any way, because the "let's dress up in costumes and eat way too much candy while watching scary movies" holiday and the "let's go to the cemetery to put candles on Grandpa's grave and honor our ancestors" holiday play very, very different roles. And guess what? Observing one doesn't mean you have to completely discard the other.

    1. I wouldn't exactly describe that as "fun" or something that cheers me up.
    2. not everyone is Christian
  • Also fictional spaceships tend to have a whole crew instead of 1-5 people.

  • A touch screen interface in a car is a TERRIBLE idea. Yeah a passenger could do it but only if there is a passenger in the car in the first place.

  • Yeah I kinda figured out it'd have been that.

  • It's still forcing people to wear something they don't want.

  • Yep. They also seem to completely ignore neurodiverse people; I don't know what I'd have done if my school had uniforms.

  • Halloween is fun and I'm glad it has arrived here. The commercalisation of it is another subject for another post, but the concept of kids dressing up and asking for candy is great. Besides, with the nights getting longer and the days ending way earlier than they should, an Autumn holiday is very nice.

  • Creepy houses are exactly where you should go on Halloween. Damn kids only caring about candy and not the spirit of the holiday!

  • "This will allow Youtube to locate the best content" 🤡

  • The value rarely is in the jewelry, but rather in the jewels themselves. So, if you had stolen, for example, a gold ring with a big diamond, you'd take out the diamond and either sell it as-is, or chop it into smaller diamonds and sell them, and probably have the gold smelted back into raw material again. From what I know, it apparently is common for gems (especially very valuable ones) to be given as gifts or traded and fitted into new settings, like rings, necklaces, crowns etc. over the course of centuries, not just stay in the same piece forever.

    What I think is most likely in this case, is that some rich asshole wanted to have them for their private collection and hired someone to steal them.

  • Furthermore, privacy has profound mental health implications. People that cannot get privacy develop mental disorders like paranoia, anxiety, self-doubt, and all sorts of other problems.

    Exactly. More people need to learn how devastating a Panopticon-esque society would be for mental health, let alone all the other issues.

  • Fuck no. Privacy should be a human right. This also would have massive opportunities for discrimination, blackmail, and just plain humiliation, making the cons a million times bigger than the pros.

  • Do you sleep on your back? AFAIK sleep paralysis is more common for back sleepers.

  • Op said free, also hosting your own server isn't something everyone has the knowledge, time, and resources to do.
