1·3 days agoAh, if you include creoles I can understand where you are coming from. Creoles aren’t even considered fully fledged languages, which is why there is a word for them as a concept, so including them would be wrong. Many of them are also just a mix of a local language and English. They might disappear, or evolve to full languages.
I don’t know the Maltese language, but that description is still more coherent than what has gone down with English whose grammar rules are all over the place. Some rules are from old norse, some are from French, and some are their own. Most if not all rules in English can be broken due to these grammatical influences. There is also the large amount of places English has vocabulary, idioms, metaphors, and other forms of sayings from

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever had intrusive thoughts about getting murdered by people you live with while you're asleep?
2·7 days agoYes I do, but only rarely, and for each time I do, I have 100s of thoughts where they are just good and kind. Having them frequently or having an intense emotional reaction to this thought can be a cause to seek out a therapist

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you think the situation in Iran will escalate regionally?
3·11 days agoNo, there is very little for Iran to gain by trying to make the conflict bigger, they do not have the resources for any troop movements abroad. Some terrorist action on US soil would most likely increase the likelyhood of US boots on the ground, which would not help the regime stay in power. Whereas the proxies in Israel are currently too weak to do anything of value, sure they can probably murder someone of no importance, but not do anything that will help them win or restore peace.
While for the USA/Israel to make it bigger the US congress would need to declare war formally. Currently, there is a thin veneer of plausible deniability that protects Trump, anyone who is not in his propaganda bubble knows this is a declaration of war without really saying it. As all he did was bomb some country with many muslims, which sadly is just modus operandi for the US presidents

This is exactly my experience too, after 6months things just worked. Only Pop_OS’s new major update broke that a little bit, but is now for the most part back to just working like they used to or has been improved.
Windows that I have on a laptop keeps being annoying with its sudden updates that slows down everything, and not taking no for an answer when I press not fucking now or ever.
