It feels like they are just interested in finding a scapegoat to blame rather than asking the real questions, why did so many people voted for trump? Did kamala, despite having more funding, failed to convey her plan? What happened and why it happened and how can it be avoided?

You answered these questions in your very first line.

Why are americans so fuckin dumb?

Would I be wooshing myself if I told you you did?

Wild guess: Is it that country where they just voted to make these issues worse?

The comparison doesn’t work. In the US it is common practice that a newspaper gives a recommendation.

Also the US has a two party system. Compare this to Germany’s multi party system. If you are undecided between to options a recommendation might help. If you are undecided whether you should vote the Greens or SPD a newspaper recommending CDU doesn’t help you at all.

While it is not illegal for a newspaper to give a recommendation in Germany, it would be a scandal indeed. But the only reason for this would be that they didn’t do it before. People are just complaining about changes like in this case as well

I would sell your cat together with the cat of the guy above you for a single pretzel.

*sigh* Bapenada?

Never heard of this. We say ‘auf links, rechts zu’ and simply order the words alphabetically

Sadly, no. Germany for example has the SCHUFA which is basically the equivalent of the Chinese social score nowadays

Weird that the comments and the top level post are calling out the countries which abstained but apperently no one cares about the ‘against’ votes.

To be fair: 95% of people saying ‘I get it’ definetly didn’t got it.

Pyra / Mythra in Smash. Does that mean I am the big boobies girl in the sheets?

God-Emperor

Pardon, you meant holy and all knowing God-Emperor, Sun Overlord and Reincarnated Jesus, Messias and *checks notes* greatest leader of all time.¹ Please adress him with his proper title you mortal filth!

¹ I wonder where I have heard that one before…

You might have noticed the other comment from yesterday already correcting me.

Moving that pawn as an opening weakens the king.

Depends. There are advantages and disadvantages to having the whole ‘Kasus, Numerus, Genus’ stuff around. To put it simple, if it was so bad than why is it still around in so many languages?

From a scientific point of view, one of the advantages is that it introduces redundancies (e.g. when adjective and the corresponding noun have the same suffix) and differences between the different syntactical parts of a sentence. This makes it easier to understand what someone else is saying even if you misunderstood them.

For the same reason computers exchange messages not simply by exchanging ASCII code because a single bit flip would alter the messages meaning.

You also need to keep in mind that languages weren’t designed to be easy to learn for non-native speakers. They have been developed by native-speakers simply using it.

My friend, you will be surprised that encryption is something that not only the magical internet machine can do.
