But you see I need what’s in the package, doesn’t matter what it is but I need it

Like this has been a problem since at least the fucking 60’s, caused riots in the 70’s because of how dangerous it got. After the riots they dropped the speed limit and that made it better for a time. 3 years ago they had to install new systems at the crosswalks to flash blinking lights and to audibly tell drivers to stop because it was getting dangerous again.

Maybe just maybe I am not the asshole for expecting drivers to pay attention and respect the fact that they are driving through a university. Maybe just maybe they shouldn’t be driving through the university if they can’t be bothered to pay attention.

I do check, but would you have guessed that this has been a problem in our community for a long time? To the point that actual riots have broken out over the dangers of crossing that street? No? Of course you wouldn’t because almost no one bothers with local history.

It’s gonna become a class action fairly quickly I’d imagine.

Can’t wait for one of these pieces of shit to hit me while I’m on campus. I already almost get hit at least once a day with how bad some people are at not stopping or checking.

We know he doesn’t have a problem with that, he also doesn’t have a problem with an insurrection

This is my new favorite website, thank you

There is so many damn things on the list, like why do you need 700,000+ ways to ruin the future

1930’s and 1940’s Germany called, they said keep up the good work

Good

Fuck that meme is so old it has Domo in it

While I am not a linguist, I am a herstorian, I don’t get this line of logic fully. I understand wanting to keep languages around and wanting things to be as they were. But when it comes to languages they evolve, merge and die off.

We should do what we can now to persevere these languages for future generations to look back on. We also shouldn’t force communities to be stuck with a language that cannot change or adapt to the world that is changing around it.

Modern day English doesn’t just come out of thin air, it comes from other languages and from its own evolution. Modern day England experienced multiple invasions and those invaders brought their own languages with them. Words from those languages were then added to English and we still use those day! And yes obviously the English’s own conquests and empire helped propel the language outwards. It also allowed new dialects of the language to sprout up all overworld and it has mixed with local languages.

We should not try to imitate what the French do with sectioning off the evolution of language as much as possible. Instead we need to let it evolve as naturally as we can. There will always be varying languages, no two groups will always agree on what’s best afterall.

Right now we are experiencing how the modern world (which has its own problems) and languages clash and change each other. The languages that are dying off now are in the exact same place past languages were in.
