Mainly it’s because not a single human being in Mesoamérica spoke any form of Spanish before, uh, the Spaniards turned-up. (And began committing their genocide)

The question was asking why Castilian was taught, as opposed to any other dialect/form of Spanish that is spoken in geographically proximous states to the US.

You may want to reread the question as your answer makes zero sense.

YT on DuckDuckGo browser on iPhone? Never seen an advert and can play videos with the screen off. Easy peasy.

Perhaps, in that moment, he was more preoccupied with the threat to (US) democracy than the threat to his own self?

I have never had the words “Trump” and “Egregore” in my mind at the same time and now I need to have a think about that…

I was mainly referring to almost all of the American continent(s), lots of Africa, China and a few other places too. I didn’t think I’d mentioned Europe.

Personally, I don’t think so. Like you point out if the Marxist Leninist instance has content you enjoy then why would you avoid it? - perhaps just don’t get into overtly political discussions / arguments.

You don’t have to be trans to visit or use a trans instance, non-anarchists can be on the anarchist instances, but do remember where you are and, most importantly, that you’re a guest/visitor and try to act accordingly. The same advice goes for .world

I’ve had no problems wherever I’ve gone - so far.

UK household electricity is pretty spicy compared to many other places - it has more safety features as a result. (3 pinned fused plug, socket switches etc)

When man sinks… he know.

But is this not a great step forward for A.I. ?

Jumping to incorrect conclusions after scanning the internet quickly. It’s getting more like humans day by day…

I have zero training in this field but once read a paper on this. I think it essentially said that ganja was ok (?) on its on but for people with “brewing psychosis” it could trigger/enable that breakdown.

The other problem might be that simply thinking about the possibility of an episode will freak you out - the existential dread would be very draining.

I think you’re correct that (some / many) people see the tiniest chink in your armour and go for the juggler (jugular vein - clown 🤡 joke) to compound your misery to make themselves feel/look “strong”.

And, yes, in abusive relationships I believe a husband is more likely to hurt and damage his wife with his fists whereas a wife would be more likely to hurt and damage her husband with words - generally speaking. It’s tragic either way…

I remember trying to listen to Radio Caroline under my duvet on an am portable radio as a kid. This film is loosely based on their story. Great cast. Absolute junk film - one of only four films (in any language) I’ve ever switched off before the end… but that’s just my opinion. I hope you enjoy it.

I’ve thought about this a lot myself. I’m 12-15 friends/acquaintances down due to them deciding to step out of life in their twenties or thirties. On paper none of them seemed to be in too bad a way and yet…

There’s obviously the problem that having and discussing emotions is for girls and gays only (/s), but there must be more to it than that.

I think there’s an expectation (where I live) that men should be strong and stoic at all times - but, honestly, many of us are fragile little flowers, some of the time, but it’s seen (erroneously) as weakness.

In my experience most men are happy to talk about: “big screen tv’s, blunts, 40’s and bitches” to NSFW quote

but they can’t open up about emotions and feelings.

Needed to be said. I honestly thought I was in Onion territory at first…

Apparently the left stops somewhere about right of centre - what a quaint political system the US has.

First question: when you use the terms “liberal” and “fascist” do you mean them in their original sense or as they are currently employed in US English?

I hope they never walk past a church…

Sri Lankans (of all varieties - complicated history) have elected a left leaning coalition. It’s very unusual the majority of every “section” of Sri Lanka to throw their support behind the same candidate / party (again - historical reasons.)

Here’s a BBC link. It appears to be reasonably factual as I understand it and is a good synopsis:

The incredibly recent Sri Lankan election enters the chat… and feels sad at being ignored.
