1·18 days agoPlease, it’s only necessary to think about it seriously for a single moment to realize that a school where children are taught “that the earth is 6000 years old” obviously doesn’t exist.
But the joke here is about Americans, right? (If not, what is the joke that you’re trying to make!?)
Come on, I like a good “look at how stupid those Americans are” as much as anyone, but for it to be funny it has to be within the realm of what could possibly be true.
Sure. You’re very funny.
The question was about things taught at school.
I found The Ambassador by Mads Brügger to be particularly gripping, he goes too far and realizes that he’s gone too far and many uncomfortable truths are revealed:
You need to enter the UK using a British passport as a British citizen.
This is very common and the EU has the same requirement, anyone who has EU citizenship must use their EU passport (or national identity card) to enter the EU (even if they also have other passports that could otherwise have been used).
[…] now that the US is directing their usual behavior towards white Europeans.
That’s nothing new, that’s happened before.
Hm, no, I can’t imagine that I’ve ever experienced a worse purchasing regret than the one you described there with the pizza.
Thanks for the tip! Despite never actually using sushi, I had it installed so now I’ve uninstalled it to avoid using it by accident.

While it doesn’t make any sense at all that “a Discord server” (an online community hosted by the Discord company) is used to mean a totally different thing from “a Discord server” (a server which runs the Discord software), your explanation makes all the other comments here suddenly make sense.
I had to check that I hadn’t dreamed this up on my own, but looking around now there are claims to having Discord servers all around, these were just the first handfull I now found:
“FreeBSD has a Discord server to socialize, get support, support others, learn, contribute, collaborate, and stay up to date on all things FreeBSD and Open Source.”
https://wiki.freebsd.org/Discord/DiscordServer
“If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum.”
https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea
“We’re transitioning to our own discord server!”
https://github.com/OpenNeptune3D/OpenNept4une/discussions/111
“We’re opening our own Discord server as a replacement for our Gitter.”
https://www.crowdsec.net/blog/crowdsec-on-discord
“I’m excited to announce the launch of our Discord server, VigneshDevHub, designed to build a thriving open-source community where developers of all levels can collaborate, learn, and work on amazing projects together!”

“Our Discord server got a makeover.”

That you’re now telling me that none of them actually have their own Discord server is just bizarre. I can’t be the only one who took those words at face value, simply assuming that they in fact had their own Discord servers.
Have you ever used discord?
No, not really.
The name server isn’t prescriptive. It’s not your own server. It’s just your own chat rooms
Eh, you lost me there, what’s that supposed to mean? How could my own server suddenly become not my own server if I started to use Discord?
What’s that supposed to mean?
What do you mean, how could your own server be “hosted by discord”?
Slackware, of course, but when Debian was first released two years later I obviously switched (and it’s been Debian since then).
