Yes you can sing but you have to turn to the audience and comment about how stupid this all is in case you're mistaken for earnestly and sincerely doing something fun.

It's still considered stupid and unrealistic, but this time because any semblance of fun and unironic enjoyment of things that should only be enjoyed in a detached way while critiquing it all the way though is considered dumb

Het gaat niet om taalfouten, het gaat erom dat hij niet consistent is of stagiairs wel of geen werk doen. Je kunt niet in de ene skeet claimen dat stagairs niet werken maar leren en in de andere zeggen dat stagairs werken

En dat werk moet betaald worden want zo werkt onze economie

Oké dus dan moet het wettelijk verboden worden voor onbetaalde stagiairs om echt werk te verrichten omdat ze daar zijn om te leren en geen bron mogen zijn van goedkope arbeid

Lieve schat, wat denk je dat stagiairs de hele dag doen? Die zitten niet op hun handen, die verrichten werk. Als je werk doet, dien je daarvoor betaald te worden. Ook werk zonder ervaring dient betaald te worden, daar hebben we een minimumloon voor.

No I have no interest in whatever niche hobby your community is about but I would love to hear about the social conventions around what is and is not considered pro-social behaviour in the crocheting world

Not a silly or offensive question at all! Not personally for me, I've never even thought of that, but I would also like to know if for some people it is. The most important human aspect AI art would take away is that I feel that artists are an important part of a kink community.

Honestly, either or. Most of the physically impossible kinks already existed in a kind of cartoon space, and those AI images mostly exist in that space. There is photorealistic stuff, but that's more of a "impossible stuff happens to a random photorealistic person" situation, not a character per se.

How else do you make political sense of a country when there's a large part of the electorate who vote for a political project that's "kick out all the scawy foreigners, and bulldoze any democratic institution that stands in the way of that". This has been a clown show longer than I've been alive.

My brain can't properly interpret what's wrong with my body, so it just presses the big red "Feel Bad" button without any additional information about what's going on

Being condescended to by a man with a deep voice and a diaper fetish is not something I'm into but I'm sure there's better places to get it than Malsh Walsh.

In the Netherlands, if Catholics were to start gatekeeping who is and is not Catholic the number of Catholics shrinks to like 3 old ladies and the local priest. In Poland, it makes much more sense to distinguish between "actively practicing" and "baptized but doesn't follow the faith at all"

It's a very interesting contrast between growing up in a Catholic area in a country where Catholics have to coexist with protestants and the church has lost a large amount of power, and growing up in a country where Catholicism is hegemonic and loss of church influence more recent.

I'm used to the principle that if you have to wear a sweater outdoors, you wear one indoors as well with a temperature to match. We're not paying for all that extra heating.

Plus moving is already difficult if you have money, a support network and a job lined up in the new location. Moving when homeless is an extremely risky move, especially if you're an employed homeless person.

I bet there's a strong correlation between housing prices and economic opportunities. I think it's homeless people not moving to places with low housing prices, because there's no economic reason for them to be there. They're still broke, but without support and the amenities of a big city.

My brain parsed "AC" as "Animal Crossing" and I was wondering why some people could understand their gibberish without subtitles

Say it with me "Just because the US is bad doesn't mean that the enemies of the US are good" and "iI's still colonialism if it doesn't involve boats"

LSZs are not symmetrical: English is not silly from a Dutch perspective, but I suspect that has more to do with hegemony meaning that Dutch speakers are familiar with English from a young age than anything. Afrikaans on the other hand is firmly in the Dutch LSZ.

Also like if I want to see a men's sports game I can turn on a tv with even the most basic package and see a men's sports game any time of the day. If I want to see a women's sports event I have to go out of my way to seek one out.

Imagine going through Olympic level training, good enough for you to place in the medals, and still needing a day job while your male counterparts can focus on their athletic achievements 24/7.

If you're watching a female athlete who is among the best of the best in her field and at the peak of her career, unless that woman is a tennis player she's unlikely to be able to live off professional sports.

"You can't even define what a woman is! Words mean things! Women have biological characteristics!" Ok then you tell me what a tall person is. Height is an unambiguous biological characteristic. Give me an unambiguous biological definition of when somebody is tall.

Of course there's still the concept of "please don't say that word, it's really offensive to call people that", but without a name for the category there's less of an expectation that there's a definition for which words should he inducted into that group.
comment in response to

Discourse about the definition of "slur" is fascinating to me because because it's completely lacking in my native language. There's "insult" and "swear word" and neither are a good translation. I think the expectation that just because English has that word there's a coherent definition is funny.

Als er door stagiairs werk verricht wordt, dan moeten ze daarvoor betaald worden. Het verstrekken van stageplekken dient door de overheid gestimuleerd te worden, én stagiairs mogen geen bron van gratis werk zijn.

Me too, I'm deeply fascinated with the weird gendering of AI assistants, and why Siri, Cortana and Alexa are all women by default. There's a paper about the association between femininity and servitude in there at the very least.
