Dude, I get it, but I don't have anything against you and I'm not demanding you learn English to cater to me.
Please stop assuming I'm racist or selfish for only knowing the language my parents spoke most when I was a baby, I probably could have picked up Spanish from my mom's family but sending a teenager with Asperger's like me to stay with relatives in South America in 2007 like my normal-brained brother did as a foreign exchange student would have been infeasible.
I just want to write speculative fiction in my own language and in return be grateful to people who are willing to learn a trade language, not be told I'm a monster just for speaking only a language that's commonplace, is that too much to ask?
Sprich Deutsch, du elendiger Englisch sprechender Hurensohn!
No. Get over the fact that English is the common speech of the world. And be grateful you even can learn new languages; not all of us can.
Many years ago, the common speech was French. The world of diplomacy and international mail was all French.
As someone who struggled for years learning that vile language, I'm glad we switched to English. It could have been German and its 16 different way to spell an article.
That's inebriated pachyderms to you. And no, I won't. Take the retarded anti-America bashing elsewhere; our country is in crisis right now and we don't need to hear it.
And that's all this post is, petty assholes taking advantage of the fact we're destabilizing to needle us over stupid shit that doesn't matter, as if we're the only country on Earth whose members are primarily monolingual. That's blatantly racist shit.
Oh holy shit, the hypocrisy here is mind-blowing. Do you see what you just did right there? That kind of useless personal attack, toward an abuse survivor who spent an evening arguing with rape apologists trying to twist that to seem petty so you can win something?
That's the kind of useless needling I'm talking about. This is why you need to grow up and find something better to do with your free time.
Jesus Christ. This guy is picking on rape survivors arguing because he's angry at being called out on racist shit. 🤦 Next lifetime, I am going to demand to be reborn a squirrel. Or a chameleon. Not a stupid fucking human.
It's not about you personally, more about the education system in some countries versus others.
That's a fair assessment. Sorry if I was over-reactive.
No worries <3
All is good, no need to change one's self to conform to what others think. All we can do is keep on trying to learn.
The meme was meant to be taken as a joke, while being a bit smug.
The title mentions programming languages, so as to widen the pool; Lemmy seems to have many that would fall under that category.
Culture wars and identity politics are just tools used to divide.
We shall come together to battle the wealthy class, as the gods have foretold.
Good luck, mate!
