It’s just sparkly paper and not a real indulgence if it doesn’t come from Rome, Italy

Computer mysticism started as a marketing tactic and now these dumbasses have bought so much into it that they genuinely believe it

That if you buy stolen property you might not have a valid property title, depending on jurisdiction and circumstances of the case
comment in response to
post
Where bona fide purchase protection applies, you need not know the property is stolen nor have reason to doubt. It might even be a criminal offence to buy property of dubious provenance (eg in Italy it is) 2/2

Not always true, depends on jurisdiction. Roman law had the ubi rem meam invenio ibi vindico, and European laws followed that until the 1804 French civil code introduced the bona fide buyer protection model that spread in civil law countries. Common law ones tended to follow the former principle 1/2

That’s another high point! I guess their argument is that buying stolen goods from a robber absolves you morally, but even if that were true it’s funny how they’re wrong on that point too—after accusing others to be ignorant about history. Just 10/10 dumb internet comment 👌

A lot comes down to early exposure and random stuff (eg I speak Spanish because my grandma was Spanish and every summer we went vacationing where she was born). What I find more impressive is the commitment to learn another language when one is older. So you can just do that and be as cool!

IP was supposed to provide fair compensation for creative people to foster creativity, yet it turned into yet another capitalist asset, because no one can ever have nice things under capitalism

But contemporary movie trailers are basically like watching the important parts of the movie, so you get more movies if you watch the trailers before the show!

What I hate the most when this happens is that YouTubers’ click bait game is too effective: I keep clicking on videos about games I’m playing that seem to hint at some DEEP analysis or insight and then it’s just people stating the obvious and making it sound like an astounding revelation

Oh, yes, finally! I want to see him get humiliated by the guy for whose election he spent all that money

Final fantasy is the ultimate example of a game I wish I were into, but that I can’t get into. I have fond memories of watching a friend play FF VIII and X when we were children, but that’s it, it’s too boring to play, especially the entries with random encounters

There are exceptions:

That is not even a proper Latin translation, because those are not Latin words (save for neca being imperative second person singular of necare—to kill—, but the translation ignores that and makes it a noun—death)

Also, huge geographical variations. Current Chinese is a standardised language modelled after the variant of a certain area, hence why languages like Cantonese can be not mutually intelligible
comment in response to
post
I’d say not earlier than VIth century, since that’s when references to tones in Chinese start to appear. But the cutoff date might be closer in time to us, as I think Cantonese is more similar to Middle Chinese than Mandarin tones-wise, and Cantonese is not mutually intelligible with Mandarin

Lmao, comparing machine processing of text with reading. It’s funny that the people that love AI the most are the ones with the least knowledge of information technology. You might want to read some sources yourself, lol

Fearmongers: “AI will doom us all and destroy humanity!”

P.S: I played magic before 2007, and in any case whatever they did at tournaments wasn’t popular here anyway

Card name + formats is a typical jargon formation, because the full non jargon sentence would be “I played a deck based on X card in Y format” or something like that. If you say card name + format to someone who doesn’t know the game or isn’t updated, it’s not understandable, hence it’s jargon

That part I got, the “slime against humanity cube” I didn’t. I don’t even know if this cube format was a thing when I used to play. Names of formats imo fall into the jargon category

I didn’t know “Slime against humanity” was conversational English
