Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Maybe it was to combat all the paragraph-long run-on sentences. I mean when you are making forty points of impact, before you end the sentence, the comma,,,, can only get you so far.
Bad translators tbh. In German that kind of structure is normal but a good translator would translate the structure into English norms, not just the words into English words.
Then again, reading German philosophy wouldn’t be the same if you didn’t have to stop and catch your breath between each sentence.
