Just please start exploring what other countries do different, why they hold the values they hold, what disadvantages it has - and how maybe it makes society better for them.
Fundamental right doesn't exist in a vaccuum, and they have to be carefully traded off.
It's utterly naive to not see that.

Just because something isn't encoded into law, doesn't mean it's not a position that an individual holds.
And if you look at attacks on Freedom of Speech by the current POTUS, then you'll see stuff fall apart quickly, e.g. detaining people for political speech is happening right this second.

I completely get the American values, and what's encoded into law. I know the high standards for free speech, e.g. as established in Brandenburg v. Ohio.
That's not a value that *all* Americans share, and it doesn't make it "the best."
You can still compare it to other places, e.g. đŻđ”đ©đȘđŹđ§đ«đ·đŠđșđ§đ·đ°đ·đżđŠ

It's the same (deliberate?) ignorance to other viewpoints - I know a lot of Americans personally that would lock up someone for the wrong joke, especially concerning children.

Genuine question: isn't it embarassing to write that setence and then post it?

And there it is, the exact limited view that Iâm referencing.
You donât even get my argument, and Iâm not sure youâre trying.
Your version of freedom isnât uniquely good, itâs just fucking different. Look at other parts of the world, and learn to love the differences. Or continue like this: đșđžđđđșđž

Itâs a topic with tons of nuance, and Iâm not giving Brazil, the UK, Germany or anyone a blanket check to limit freedom of speech and personal freedom in general - itâs a high good, and it deserves to be protected!
But other fundamental rights deserve to be protected, too - itâs not the only one.

âFreedom is when people (with power) can impose their will on othersâ seems to be the American definition, or perhaps âFreedom to not care about anyone but yourselfâ
Thatâs certainly one way to approach this, but not the only one. And so many Americans donât get that thereâs other ways,

Thereâs different kinds of freedom. Going out and not being shot by a gun? More freedom than having one.
Not getting a slur in your face? Not having to listen to people deny the holocaust? Also freedom.
Having a car accident and no medical debt? Freedom.
US has a limited view of freedom.

The only source for the âtangledâ definition i saw was dictionary.com, other places were mostly on the âmessyâ side
But I havenât done a full review or anything, this is me googling and trying to find some PD texts on my phone while scrolling in bed after afternoon nap :)
comment in response to

Yeah, other sourced use the âhudelâ definition, though, if you look online. Iâm getting ever less secure, and I think the best way would be to get some native speakers of PD or look at actual usage in PD literature, but quite frankly, Iâm too lazy for that :)

I agree, but pollution is more than PM 2.5. Standing next to a loud diesel engine on a bike is less fun than next to an EV bus.
(More EV cars would be good, too, for that. And even better: fewer cars.)

solche nuancen sind immer nervig wenn man versucht, wörter zu ĂŒbersetzen.
Und ich frag mich jetzt eben wirklich was âferhoodledâ denn beduetet - das wĂ€re ein gröĂeres projekt die nuancen da zu finden.

Also, mein Punkt ist: ob es âverhuddeltâ oder âverhudeltâ ist, ist schwer zu sagen.
Aber wenn ich âtangledâ höre, denke ich nicht an âverhudeltâ, sondern âverheddertâ, und dann viel spĂ€ter an was ich bis jetzt einfach fĂŒr die alb-schwĂ€bische variante fĂŒr âverheddertâ gehalten have (âverhuddeltâ)
comment in response to

Die OberschwĂ€bische Stiefmutter (also BodenseenĂ€he) hat dann allerdings âverhudeltâ benutzt, und da war ein Bedeutungsunterschied.
Ich glaube, dass sind in der Praxis inzwischen 2 verschiedene Wörter, aber das nachzuweisen ist natĂŒrlich nicht einfach

Kann sein, dass das nicht der Standardgebrauch ist, aber:

Es gibt glaube ich beides, mit 2 bedeutungen! Ich glaube da kommt ein teil von der Diskussion her.
Ich komme Richtung Alb, und da war das âverhuddeltâ (tangled) normal, (1/2)

Verhuddelt und verhudelt sind in meinem Kopf zwei verschiedene Wörter.
Kann sein dass den gleichen Ursprung haben, aber ich erinnere mich beide gehört zu haben - mit verschiedener bedeutung.
Die Lichter fĂŒr den Weihnachtsbaum waren verhuddelt, aber der Neubau wurde verhudelt.

Both @lesserspottedh.bsky.social and me agree about the meaning of Hudeln, and we both used it when growing up, and after looking at dictionaries, they also support our view
verhudelt means âsomething that is not useable / less valuable because someone worked to sloppily/quickly (âhudelteâ)â
comment in response to

Iâm super familiar with Hudeln. Iâm wondering about âferhoodleâ, which is harder for me to get the vibe of.
Words often shift meaning over time, after all. They may represent different concepts now - itâs not straightforward.
Is âferhoodledâ in PD closer to âtangledâ or to âdone sloppilyâ? Idk
comment in response to

really verhudelt - the toddler didnât slack off anything, the toddler didnât âhudelâ, it didnât mess it up because it did something too fast, too sloppily.
Hudeln is a word I / my family use natively, rural swabian region.
It basically requires a job done poorly, and tangling is not necessarily.
comment in response to
post
No, hudeln is more of a âwork sloppilyâ vibe, thereâs a person you can point to that caused the mess - and itâs not necessarily tangled.
For example, you could âverhudelâ the installation of a fridge so itâs crooked - not tangled.
If a toddler messes up the contents of your purse, it wasnât (1/2)

Honestly, the more I look, the more Iâm unsure. I think the only way to tell is get a native speaker, or do a search of PD literature on the actual use of the word - itâs not very commonly used from what I can find.
And so a lot of conflicting definitions and etymology is floating about

Yeah, after looking at ferhoodled a bit more, itâs closer in meaning to verhudelt.
I donât think âtangledâ is an apt translation to standard English, especially as the first translation - though I donât speak Pennsylvanian Dutch.
Yeah, âtangledâ seems wrong
comment in response to
post
Same thing here, this is surprising (but I donât have a reason to disbelieve you), because it doesnât fit the âtangledâ definition.
Now I wanna research this one deeper
comment in response to

Huh, interesting- that doesnât fit as well to the definition of âtangledâ that @susiedent.com gave, but I believe you!

I read this as âkidsâ first and had two thoughts, in that order:
a) why are there kids at a wrestling match?
b) weird way to phrase it
Kicks makes admittedly more sense

âVerheddertâ in German
> zu niederdeutsch Hede âHanf-, Flachsabfall, Wergâ[âŠ]
de.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/verhedd...
So, a literal translation of that would be âmishempedâ Iâd say? Forehemped?
Hm, so hemp waste is called tow, hards, so misharded? Misharded sounds goodâŠ

Itâs always interesting if bands that are built around âbeing comfyâ do the whole âbe cruelâ thing.
If Amazon does it, whatever. But if itâs something like Target, a place where people escape to, they just stop coming.
Itâs like making an unpleasant bookstore. Thereâs a reason theyâre still comfy
