Thanks.

Well, Romance languages have thousands, too, like e.g. French poser and sup-poser, dé-poser, re-poser, trans-poser, pro-poser, im-poser, ex-poser, pré-poser, anté-poser, op-poser, super-poser, com-poser, juxta-poser, ap-poser, dis-poser, postposer,

If I call up a random French or Spanish article on wikipedia, a decent amount, if not the majority of verbs (not counting auxilliary verbs) are compounds. Somehow Romance speakers seem to have lost the ability to spot them, a Mexican coworker of mine was absolutely convinced Spanish does not have compound verbs as well.

Oh – I see. The Romance prepositions have changed. Knowing Latin I cannot not recognise the loads of compound verbs, but with sur, de, derriere, travers, par, en, hors, avant and so on the compounds are not recognisable any longer and our poor Romance friends have to learn all the words by themselves instead of nice semilogical groups.

That’s actually older than French itself - a relic from Gaulish.

Yes.

Are there words in German ending in -e that are not female?

Well, that’s because chauff-eur/euse means neither driver nor prostitute, but “heater”, as in “someone who makes hot”. One heats the steam engine, the other their clients. The sexism is not built in the language or the gender system, but in the patriarchal culture.

I don’t get the weirdness of phrasal verbs? It’s a basic staple of every Indoeuropean language to generate verbs by tacking on prepositions. Ok, it’s a bit weird to use prepositions after the word, but that’s just standard Germanic separable verbs that are a bit regulized. So what?

AWK?

If they tell you they love you, they love you. But there are many, many different kinds and aspects of love, many ideas what love is. If they tell you “we love you” but you cannot feel or sense this love, you are both using the same word, but not the same idea of love. Or maybe you have even the same idea what love means, but have different ways and needs how to express and experience this love.

The key would be not to doubt their love but to discuss and reflect with them what they mean when they say “We love you”, how they try to show you their love, how they want you to show your love, how you want them to show their love.

Sadly, for most people such conversations are very hard, if not next to impossible. Counseling, mediation or therapy can be helpful, if you’ve got access to any.

@[email protected] has a point, though. I agree with you that love is expressed by words, but I also agree with them that words alone are meaningless if not backed by loving behaviour.

If you want software that analyses an image and produces tags that describe the image’s content, you want a combination of image recognition, image interpretation, text generation and a promp generator to link these three parts. There is no way that any single of these applications can be “lightweight”, not to speak of the combination.

If you stop at radical acceptance, you’ll end up being fatalistic and spineless, giving up your own needs and wishes, hurting yourselve in the process.

In psychotherapy, the next step after acceptance is comittment. What do I really want? For what do I really care? What do I really need? My coworkers are morons, Ok, accepted - but what do I really need? Perhaps I need to take pride in my work, and need to commit to get a job I can take pride in. Maybe I need friends and need to commit finding friends outside of work. Maybe I just need money and can commit to just earn money. In either case I don’t have to be upset about my moronic coworkers any longer.

Just take them out 1–2 days before you consume them.

That’s just a fancy way of commenting on the intended types, no static typing though.

Python will happily execute:

six: int = 6
six = "Hello World!"

Well, back in the day they successfully ousted Mr. Boycott by boycotting him. So at least the first boycott successfully worked.

Modern wars lack defined front lines – just look at Ukraine and the accompanying conflict between Europe and Moscow.

While historically there has been only peace and war, nowadays cold and hybrid wars are states between peace and (hot) war that are real.

The current state of the US is not the hybrid state of the Second US Civil War, btw, it’s the North American theater of the hybrid state of WWIII.

I hope WWIII will be resolved before it gets too hot.

I’d say all of history until 1968?
