The use of litotes is common in English, Russian, German, Yiddish, Dutch, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Ukrainian, Polish, Chinese, French, Czech and Slovak, and is prevalent in some other languages and dialects. It is a feature of Old English poetry and of the Icelandic sagas and is a means of much stoical restraint.
So not ALL languages? TIL
Oh, I see it now. Yeah, another 5 minutes wasted.
Bitte bring die Beiden nicht auf Gedanken.
TikTok outrages should never become news headlines.
But it's the Daily Fail, so 🤷
That said - as if he could tell what each one would taste like.
Ich versuchte schon öfter ein älteres Video von einem deutschen Komiker zu finden der beschreibt wie Kölner aus dem Nichts einen Dialog aufbauen können der meist mit "nej nej nej" (schwer geseufzt) anfängt und mit "do määsse nix" weitergeht.
Hab seinen Namen vergessen. Und weil der Dialekt genauso heisst wie das lokale Bier, ist es doppelt schwer.
Also die Tatsache dass es überhaupt ein Benutzy mit solchem Namen gibt veranlasst bei mir solche kraftlose Stoßseufzer.
I've been having the weirdest dreams recently, and of course I remember them all!
Feeling super weird after these, but esp. the first one. I didn't even need to take a shit when I woke up. Like, wtf brain, that's not one of my major fears!
Thank you for coming to my dream talk.
Oh, not only in Slovenia. And they think they're clever because unlike the previous generation they know that social media exist.
sweary Aussie drama
I fast forwarded these. I also didn't like the airport security stuff.
But I like how e.g. they pun on their own age when having these team talks about their programme. Some bits in that section are really timely, and not just because they mention social media. Like one of the younger upstarts being uncomfortable because they aren't sure if what they just said was transphobic or not. That sort of stuff.
I used to have a static IP at home so I cold run my own physical server. I stuck it under the fridge because there were wall plugs and I didn't want it in my living room. Hence the name.
It used to serve NFS shares locally, websites and CalDAV/CardDAV globally. A dual-core-but-32-bit stone old intel processor, 2GB of RAM, and never a performance problem.
There was unease within Fifa at the time of Trump receiving the award with the governing body not disclosing any details of the selection process. Now, though, that has shifted to “deep embarrassment”, according to one senior Fifa source. Multiple officials have expressed their unease of the way it was handled.
"Selection process"? Come on! Are they taking themselves a little too seriously maybe? It was farce right from the start. Most of the world had a good laugh. It's only FIFA
Agreed. They follow the seasons of his Lies Social posts, and he follows the seasons of his own outrage.
Danke, das könnte er gut gewesen sein. Ich hör mich auf youtube ein bisschen rein, vielleicht find ich die erwähnte Passage ja.
