That’s the most convincing explanation I have read, thank you!

The point is to better match the current pronunciation bəl, not change the pronunciation.

I am French, I know that. Let me expend the title to make it easier to understand.

In American English, words of French origin like “meter” (American English) inverted the last letters of “metre” (British English from French “mètre”) to better match the English pronunciation. Why isn’t it also the case for other similar situations like “possible”?

Are stupid non researched hypothesis allowed? I had in my mind: maybe those roles come from times when life was more violent, so having a strength advantage due to biology was an obvious way to hold power and impose rules that benefit your group/gender. I feel this somehow connects to emotional behaviors that may be required for war and politics, such as not showing your weaknesses. Then you have centuries of cultural development, such as religions, that created layers of justification for the social order that benefited the people in power, even when the physical strength advantage is not relevant anymore, and that’s what we consider tradition.
Reality is probably more complicated.
Is patriarchy and the emotional difference really specific to Western society, if we compare to Arabic, Indian or Chinese traditional cultures, for example?

Snowden was an IT expert, it certainly helps. His book is a great read.

In Japan, they won’t say much to your face, but they will say you’re impolite, useless and should get fired in the internet reviews, if you didn’t treat them like royalty from beginning to end.

I guess there are issues with the post formats, micro blog and forum styles are quite different, and there’s probably a cultural friction between people who like community based pseudonymous forums and strongly personified social media.
Let’s hope we can one day have a common share place for information with UIs adapted to every tastes.

Even if we can’t trust those numbers, you can just check their frontages and see the number of posts and comments per day, it’s much more active.

And if Lemmy was really connected to the fediverse we wouldn’t have 1K users but lot more.

How could it be more connected?

I’m not following the proportion point, but about non-US on reddit, r/france has 2.1 M readers and r/de has 2.7 M readers. They are very active, it completely dwarves anything on Lemmy. Any national subject is going to be discussed there. I am not using those by activism, but I can’t blame the average person to prefer those vastly more active places.

I think it’s good to have them doing their own things, but it is just not big enough to be as entertaining and wide-covering as Reddit. j’ai.lu feels more like a forum with 50 active members that you would check once a week.

I played the second late and then the third. I think it simplified too much some parts of the gameplay to please the mass, but the atmosphere and writing are still really good.

It’s too unpopular for the majority here to resist down voting as they should if they respected the rule. As a French trying to provide a different point or view sometimes, I agree. Not only it’s a vast majority of USA, but also a specific political quarter of it.
Despite what some say here, even motivated minority posters can’t compensate for the crushing statistic, and the total mass is too small to have lively niche communities like on Reddit.
I don’t see any solution for now, apart some really major new fuck ups by Reddit that would trigger a bigger exodus.

Has Nintendo been interesting in terms of art or gaming innovation in the past ten years? Apart from pokemon when I was a child, I only ever played some small party games at friends and I was never impressed by the games depth nor feeling the desire to get them at home.

Maybe people who like foie gras.

When you’re deep into sweet sleep and the alarm wakes you up to go to work.

I think I know why.

Astronaut be like

Try to follow at least the WHO recommendation of 30 min of moderate exercise per day on average. Maybe you can consider this budget and balance it over your week depending on how busy you are.

You just haven’t met your hole yet.
