Kann nicht bestätigen. Bin Kerl, würde höchstens vorgeben, mich zu freuen und es dann dem nächst besten Biertrinker weiterverschenken.
Ich hab alle möglichen Arten Biere versucht, von Ale zu Lager, Weissbier, Imperial Stout und alles dazwischen und drumrum. Ich mag den Geschmack von Bier/Hopfen einfach nicht. 😐

Basierend auf deiner Aussage nehme ich an das könnte Trump sein. Sieht aber eher nach einer verschollenen Cousine von Otto Walkes aus. Falls es tatsächlich Trump ist, entschuldige ich mich schon mal herzlichst bei Otto's Verwandtschaft.

Elmo already suffered enough with his mind of a child and getting bullied and gaslit by his "friends", he doesn't deserve having his name sullied by having it used to refer to Musk.

You'd be just fine if you remain a decent human being rather than becoming an egotistical and racist pile of garbage.
Also, Musk was born rich and basically bought his fame.

There's nothing about dislike in "homophagic". "homo-" means "same" ("hetero-" means "different"), the root "phag" means "to eat" (compare "sarcophagus", which literally means "flesh eater").

"Die Welt ist eine Scheibe." Gleichzeitig selbe Person: "Echsenmenschen aus der inneren Hohlerde"
Auch die selbe Person gleichzeitig (zu Corona-Zeiten): "Wir werden gezwungen, Masken zu tragen, um uns unserer Persönlichkeit zu rauben und uns gefügig zu machen." & "Frauen sollten Burkas tragen, das ist gut für sie"
Auch die selbe Person: "Ich scheisse nur wenn ich unbedingt muss, weil es sich anfühlt, als werde mein Arsch vergewaltigt" (ursprünglich wahrscheinlich "schwul" angefühlt und sehr homophob, als er das gesagt hat schmerzhaft wie sau)
k.A. wie diese Ideen nebeneinander existieren können

Even if you're pro-religion, voting blue is the better choice. Only blind mammonites and hate-filled egotists can justify voting republican.
Also, the way Trump's base is all whipped up, not voting at all is nearly equivalent to voting for him.

The higher pitch for the entire sentence is another option in my Spanish, but indicates outrage.
The version where you hear it's supposed to be a question from the word "dijiste" is more of a request for information, like if your mom yelled something and you're not sure if she said "No me molestes" or "No te sorpreses" or something else that sounds vaguely similar or if she was actually yelling at a fly that was going on her nerves.
The sentence overall becomes more melodic, with the stressed syllables getting a higher pitch and more defined stress.

In spanish questions intonation changes occur only on the last word(s), not the whole sentence. I'm not a linguistic, but I think it's so you can be sure a sentence is a question from the start.
That might be the case in the dialect you're familiar with, but "¿Me dijiste que no te moleste?" has a different intonation to "Me dijiste que no te moleste." in my Spanish (starting from "dijiste").
As for English, questions normally start either with a question word or a (auxiliary) verb, while affirmations normally start with the subject. See "You told me not to bother you." vs. "Did you tell me not to bother you?". Using just intonation is possible ("You told me not to bother you?!??"), but when in writing, it's usually formatted in a way that highlights it because it usually indicates outrage/disbelief.

Teddy Roosevelt opted not to shoot a bear that someone caught for him to shoot (because it would have been like shooting fish in a barrel; iirc the bear was immobilised). The press at the time got hold of this story, turned it into a story about pity/mercy (neither applied, the bear was killed anyway, just not by getting shot by Roosevelt) and an enterprising individual made a toy based on it, which became more popular than expected.
The popularity of the toy was also a boost to Roosevelt's popularity, which is why at least one presidential candidate at the time tried to get something similar going for himself, but possums just aren't cuddly and a copy of a popular thing rarely manages to reach the heights of popularity the thing it tries to copy got.

Based on the highlighting they did, I believe their theory is that "livejournel" didn't work because it should have been "livejournal" with an "a" and you presumably made the same typo all the time.
The word éxito in Spanish (and cognates in other iberian romance languages) has the meaning of success, but it is a cognate of English "exit". According to Wiktionary, they all come from Latin "exitus", which is a participle of "exire", which literally means "to go out/outside, to exit, to leave". Also on the Wiktionary page for this word is someone asking about this apparent semantic shift in Spanish, which got me wondering as well. Further googling only told me that it's not just Spanish but also Galician and Portuguese, possibly more. Does anyone have information on how this shift developed? Or is the written evidence we have so poor that it might just as well have suddenly acquired the current meaning overnight as gradually over several generations and we wouldn't be able to tell?

Gegoogelt. Hatte für mich nach einer Legierung oder so getönt (vgl. Konstantan). Im Kontext von "instantane Wirkung" vielleicht, aber ich würde eher "instante Wirkung" sagen, vor allem auf Schweizerdeutsch. "instantane" würde ich, wenn überhaupt, nur schriftlich und in sehr akademischem Kontext brauchen, z.B. in einer Doktorarbeit.
Gemäss Duden ist es aber auch nicht ein spezifisch schweizerisches oder sonst regionales Wort.

For those who want to know, that makes Xitter sound like halfway between Sitter and Shitter.
As an English speaker you can try to make that sound by saying the Y in YEET and paying close attention to how exactly your tongue is positioned and where in your mouth the air is being constricted. Then try to position your tongue as if you want to say "yeet" or "yes" again, but make an S sound at exactly the same constriction point where you made the Y sound before. If you're successful, it should sound like a hybrid between S and SH to your English ears.
That's how I make it anyway, actual Mandarin speakers might find issue with my explanation.

Wenn schon Resultat. Ich kenne kein Schweizer Wort, das mit -ülü endet.
Ich nehme an du meinst den Diminutiv Umlaut & -li, parallel zum hochdeutschen Diminutiv Umlaut & -chen (Resultätli vs. Resultätchen)? Ein Diminutiv beim Wort Resultat ist für uns genau so merkwürdig wie auf Hochdeutsch.

Interessanterweise ist das Wort "Ergäbnis", im Gegensatz zu "ergibt", Teil des normalen Sprachgebrauchs. Ich nehme aber an, dass das ein "eingeschweizertes" (habe ich mir gerade parallel zu "eingedeutscht" aus den Fingern gesaugt) Wort aus dem Hochdeutschen ist.
curiosityLynx 11 months ago • 100%
Für mich als Schweizer kommt noch dazu, das "ergibt" im Schweizer Sprachgebrauch nicht existiert, weder im Schweizerdeutschen noch in Schweizer Hochdeutsch.
In den meisten Fällen wird "macht" gebraucht, im mathematischen Kontext manchmal "gibt"/"git".
Es würde mich nicht wundern, wenn viele deutsche und österreichische Dialekte das Wort "ergibt" auch nur als Fremdwort aus der offiziellen Standardsprache kennen.

I've got an unhealthy amount of hours and money (games, DLC) invested in various Paradox games because I once pirated EU3 on a whim.
My Steam Library now contains CK2 with most gameplay DLC, CK3 with most gameplay DLC, EU4 with all gameplay and content DLC, Stellaris with most gameplay/content DLC, HoI4 with most gameplay DLC, Sengoku, and other Paradox games that aren't grand strategy like Magicka 1&2.
And both my hours in CK2 and EU4 are in the 4 digit realm, though admittedly that includes times where I played in bed, fell asleep and the respective game kept running.
