It's similar for me. I understand a lot of Spanish dialogue up until I encounter some false cognate like "rango" (trans. "faixa" or "intervalo" and not "dinner").
It's also hard to not do the Portuguese abbreviations like "pra" instead of "para la".

I love Rust a lot but I wish it wasn't so hard to compile its compiler.
Speaking of languages, imma try learning spanish. it's kind of embarrassing for a brazilian to not be able to talk to comrades in latam.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I've been thinking about how did revolutionaries organize during bourgeois revolutions. Obviously they didn't adhere to any Leninist organization method, but I wouldn't be surprised if they had something similar to Democratic Centralism (democracy for the rich, of course). I might write a follow-up about this in the future.
Recently, I read that the Jewish tradition of reading the Talmud and understanding the Talmud through Rabbi commentary was one of the reasons why the Jewish people had high literacy rates since the 1st century.
The Jewish community has such a commendable record of dedication to literature and preservation.
So thank you for your dedication and for continuing the tradition of your community comrade. And thank you for your research on Fascism.
Small pain point about living in a neoliberal hellscape is that we can't have a Pokedex-style encyclopedia app about everything.
Wikipedia comes close, but it only explains "relevant" things (so no specific documentation for a niche program), it's horribly biased against material reality in anything politics, and there's no manuals or how-tos in it.
A while ago, a soldier from the USA did self immolation to protest against the Palestinian Genocide.
Even though he was literally screaming "Free Palestine", the reporters said that his protest was for "unknown reasons". The audio of the video of his self immolation was muted.
I won't disrespect this man's choice, but it simply wasn't effective.
I think only you can decide that. But isn't the US National Anthem played? Doesn't the flag get displayed? Would you play in the US team if you were a professional football player knowing that you are representing the nation?
Note that we aren't going to abide by some religious dogma. I would be okay with cheering Jesse Owens at the Olympics, for example (not for the US, but for him). But the fact that the US is hosting the games does change the moral calculus a bit.
The wall in question. Not to scale.
True. That decision really paid off. Honestly, I think that having a sovereign internet ecosystem is gonna be on par with having nukes as a prerequisite for a sovereign nation. We'll have to see if other great powers are gonna ditch Statesian services in this century. Iran and Russia seem to be heading towards China's path, at least.
Yeah this is one of the best thing about DF. Like, in order to build down, you need to excavate each layer otherwise the whole thing collapses.
