How heterosexual couples met in the US
  • Not OP, but the usual reply I see is, because dating companies are incentivized to keep you on their app, not get you a happy relationship, so you need to go through hundreds of dates and thousands of rejections, which can be mentally taxing.

  • People who started learning a second language, how has it made you aware how broken English is ?
  • And then you also have different meanings depending on pronunciation, here some examples:

    • umfahren: to drive around something or to run over something

    • Montage: the act of assembling or the plural of Monday

    • übersetzen: to ferry across a river or to translate into another language

    • umschreiben: to rewrite or to paraphrase

    • durchschauen: to look through something or to understand

    • unterstellen: to place something underneath or to imply or accuse someone of something

    • unterhalten: to hold something underneath or to support or to converse with someone or to entertain

    • wiederholen: to fetch something back or to repeat something

  • People who started learning a second language, how has it made you aware how broken English is ?
  • As a native German speaker, I really dislike the formality levels and hope someday everyone uses the informal level. In a big company it's really annoying to start with the formal level and then awkwardly switching to informal level when contacting someone for the first time.

  • Baldur’s Gate 3 mod update will be Larian’s ‘final handover’ to players
  • Yeah, BG4 is dead on arrival for me, but on the other hand I am glad Larian continues to exist and does not have to bow to some corporate entity. Instead of BG4, I am looking forward to their next project then. And even if they would do BG4, it's hard to top BG3, so I can understand moving on to a new project without fan expectations other than the high regard for Larian.

  • Is it a good idea to use KDE plasma on linux mint?
  • I never installed Linux myself, only used it for a bit, so what do you have to do to not be a complete noob? This is only a half serious question, but what do you think you have to do, to be a proficient Linux user? This sounds a bit like when I got my master's degree and did not have the feeling that I know anything or have learned valuable skills, but to someone with only a high school diploma I would look rather proficient.

  • Wild New Study Suggests Gravity Can Exist Without Mass
  • I am not an expert either, but maybe by something like this? Maybe we see two images of the same galaxy but nothing obstructing our view to explain the gravitational lensing, so maybe it's topological defects?

  • Turkey: Brics instead of EU?
  • I have no opinion on this, but maybe it just takes more time. I don't hear anyone calling Chinas capital 'Peking' anymore, only Bejing, but that didn't happen instantly either.

  • AI trained on photos from kids’ entire childhood without their consent
  • He said that it's creepy but convenient, digital privacy and laziness don't go hand in hand generally. Every week I read about another alternative for Google Photos, so the solution is not far away (three posts down I found this for example). To each their own I guess, but with such simple solutions I can't justify using Google's spyware.

  • [Meta] Are there still parents around here? Would you like to have a weekly discussion post? This community seems very quiet seen as this is a quite common topic (or maybe everyone is busy parenting)
  • Thank you, right now I am not even thinking about afterwards as I have to finish my PhD. beforehand so that I can spend most of me free time with my child. And until then I have to care for our horse it seems. My wife isn't allowed to ride anymore And in the last two months I will probably be there every day to muck out the box, feed him and do some ground work with him. After all, we now have a riding partner (is that the right word for someone who pays us money so she can use the horse some days?) so I only have to come 5 days a week. So it's all very stressful at the moment, but I'm really looking forward to it :)
