Re: War in the Middle East, again
You often hear that from people who aren't exactly progressive luminaries on feminism or LGBT rights themselves. The phrase "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" proves to be more and more true. I was really thinking of conservatives. Not that left-leaning folks are entirely blameless,...

Re: Elections in various countries
Does anyone know enough about the situation in Ireland to make an educated guess about how big the risk is that the far right actually gets somewhere in the next Irish election?

Re: War in the Middle East, again
The idea seems to be quite popular as a kind of thought game among some people these days, but I don't see who would have made such a decision in the 1940s, either.

Re: British Politics Guide
Why is the collection of built-up areas that serves as the capital of the UK generally called "London" and not "Westminster"?

Re: Random Thread
Anyone interested in reading about Irish/British history in German? Perhaps your first language is something else, and you want to brush up on your German, or specifically on a pseudo-scholarly register of German? Earlier this year, for no good reason, I wrote this it-was-meant-to-be-brief-but-ended...

Re: Happy things thread!
a really interesting collection of essays in a rather lovely edition I received my copy of The Philosophy Graduate’s Fallacy and other essays (by Raphael Landeck, ed. Mark Rosenfelder) yesterday and am really enjoying it! Oh, thank you very much! I wouldn't have thought anyone would like the book s...

Re: Challenge: American English as a separate language
Since Travis brought up subtitles: I have the impression that movies, TV shows, etc. rarely get different BE and AE subtitles, while, at least on Netflix, you can apparently often choose between Spanish Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Portuguese Portuguese, and Brazilian Portuguese subtitles.

Re: AI in conlanging - present and future
This is what AI experts have been predicting for a few years now - and I fully believe AI will be able to write novels by 2030 and will be able to consistently generate Nobel Prize worthy novels by 2034-35. Well, AI experts have a psychological, and in many cases, also a financial motive to overrat...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
What movement is that? The movement to hold Israel accountable for war crimes? The BDS movement? The movement to recognise Palestinian statehood? Enlighten me. The people chanting "Jew Jew cowardly pig, come out and fight alone!" (As I don't have to tell you, it rhymes in German.) Oh, and...

Re: War in the Middle East, again
And, yes, Raphael, frankly that is the worst kind of bothsidesism. There is a massacre going on and it's being perpetrated by Israel on the people of the West Bank and Gaza. Saying "but they would do the same given the chance" is literally the justification used by every committer of mass...
