I've had more conversations than I can count with people I would never be able to talk to in person, all using our own native languages.

The original posts are in English, people comment in their native language, and I use a translator, then respond in my own language. Is the translator perfect? No! Neither is theirs.

With the way most translators I've used work, it's easier for the non-native speaker to try translating, since the translator might try and use different words that entirely change the meaning, but likely list possible alternatives. A native e speaker will understand the alternatives while a non-native speaker probably won't.

That's my thought process anyway.

Never had anyone who wasn't pearl-clutching or virtue-signaling complain about it. And I've had tons of conversations with people I'd never have talked to otherwise.

See, he ASSUMES there's "no way to win" and that this judge will always, regardless of anything else, strike down things because they're "against republicans/trump/whoever"

Why?

Because that's exactly what they would do, are doing, plan to do in the future, and can't imagine a world where someone else isn't just as shitty as they are.

Projection. Insecurity.

I mean, there's no way to win, but that's because this is one of those things that can't be ignored and absolutely should result in consequences. I'm not hopeful that real consequences will be had though.

Planes? Course not.

Maybe Julian, he's always dragging me to the holodeck for some world War 1 and 2 dogfights over Europe.

Don't look at my starship homework folder...

The indomitable human spirit.

Also known as "the ability to exist out of pure spite, because FUCK YOU I ain't collapsing over THIS bullshit."

Nothing says "we are a free and open community that welcomes others" like moderators banning discussion of poor moderation.

Yes, I do understand what the rule is there for. No that doesn't make it any less hilariously shitty.

hider to wear all black clothing and be small.

Now I'm imagining a chibi style anthropomorphic plane wearing all black clothes trying to be sneaky.

You did this to me.

Armada and Armada 2.

I really like RTS games.

Oh well the answer is obvious, as Ellen Mosque once said, no plane is actually a stealth plane because cameras can still see them, so canards obviously don't make a difference!
