In Germany most have a girl-card

I assume autocorrect screwed you?

For anyone else reading this: no, there is no such thing as girl-cards.

Tbf, one minister’s opinion is not necessarily the opinion of the government as a whole.
Unless it’s Lindner apparently.

Fractional-reserve banking

That has already become outdated, at least according to some economists.
Banks can just create loans out of thin air without having to check their own reserves first.

Besides providing verbatim records of who said what, there is a second can of worms in forming any sort of binding agreement if the two sides of the agreement are having two different conversations.

I think this is what the part about the missed nuance means.

Once this has been implemented, something worse can be implemented.

I don’t like these slippery slope arguments. You might as well reduce it to any legislation.
Once people are allowed to make laws, bad people can make bad laws.
Which is why we must continue to vote in the right people, not abandon the concept of laws.

In this case, I don’t doubt that copyright infringement and general censorship are on some people’s agenda.
But this current proposal is bad enough itself and should be opposed because of that and not because someone might make other, even worse proposals in the future.

at the moment every single counrty must agree to a decision

The EU treaties have already changed, so that many decisions can be made by qualified majority.
Unanimity is only still required in certain fields:

The person who started the thread claimed that NSFW photos they had deleted “years ago” were back on their phone.
Another Reddit user said that they saw photos from 2016 show up as new images but that they didn’t think they’d ever deleted them. And a person claimed in a later post that “around 300” of their old pictures, some of which were “revealing,”

Communism is a society without social classes, money, or a state.
Feel free to name one so-called communist country that implemented that.

The eastern block was as communist as North Korea is democratic.
They did however socialize ownership of factories etc, so they did have an authoritarian form of socialism.

Take Ellen Ripley for example: strong woman. Can’t be played by a man as the character no longer makes sense.

Ripley was originally not even written as a woman.
There is not a single scene in the original Alien where her being a woman is in any way relevant.

There’s an xkcd for that:

You think economics picture books would be a better idea?

Tbf, it was an art installation and the overreactions it generated are hilarious.

I can lie under the table, puking my guts out and still remember the year.
You need more training, son.

For file names, absolutely.
When I’m asking what date it is I typically know the current year.

Well, they couldn’t go with Helles because it’s actually good.

But where does all the excess energy go?

Down the toilet

Try to pronounce the letter G. What does it sound like? Hard or soft G?

According to wikipedia the phonetic usage includes:
[g] [d͡ʒ] [ʒ] [ŋ] [j] [ɣ~ʝ] [x~χ] [d͡z] [ɟ] [k] [ɠ] [ɢ] /dʒiː/

For English pronunciation it lists:
/dʒ/ /ɡ/ /ʒ/ and silent

I’m saying that there are no consistent rules so language learners have to learn each word individually.
If you learn languages by memorizing every singe vowel shift since proto-indo-european then be my guest but for someone who just wants to speak the language and has to learn the difference between plough, through, though etc, it seems pretty damn arbitrary.

Yes, but we’re not talking about the linguistic history of how words developed.
We’re talking about learning a language and the lack of consistent rules can make that quite difficult.
