No. People will use children as tools to migrate. They already do to an extent, but this would exacerbate it significantly. People should have children because they want to raise a family, not to use them as a tool to bypass inconvenient red tape.
The posts on this thread are evidence that people don’t actually care about the policies; if there is an oompa loompa behind it, it must be bad.
Almost every move the current US administration has done to cut red tape has been utterly stupid. This one actually makes sense. Having a separate citizenship database for every state is just silly.
Oh. Is that how protests work? I am a non-driver who supports initiatives like making cities car-free, increasing public transport, improving cyclist/pedestrian infrastructure. Yet, I am now blocking this community because it’s clearly full of attention-seekers craving a power-trip.
This ‘protest’ makes me support the drivers, not the cyclists. I don’t understand how this silly idea came about that making people hate you somehow builds support for a cause.
‘Fire shoe’ encompasses both meanings satisfactorily.
Tree wool.
Okay, that is really cool. I think German wins here.
Does Dutch keep both forms?
I believe both Old English and Old High German kept both the compound word (hand shoe) and the singular word (e.g. glōf) before eventually choosing one and discarding the other. I’m curious if there are any Germanic languages that have kept both forms into the modern era.
But yeah, fireplace just sounds so much cooler…
Although… Why not… Fire shoe? Yeah, that’s even better.
Fire shoe it is. I’ll let Oxford know.
Wow, you’re right. German really is amazing!
mittens = Faustschuhe => fist shoes
hat = Kopfschuh => head shoe
glasses = Augenschuhe => eye shoes
earrings = Ohrschuhe => ear shoes
mask = Gesichtsschuh => face shoe
bra = Brustschuhe => breast shoes
shirt = Rumpfschuh => torso shoe
pants = Beinschuhe => leg shoes
helmet = Gehirnschuh => brain shoe
diaper = Babyschambereichschuh => baby shame-area shoe
I’ll have you know that the history of ‘gloves’ in English goes back long before the Norman conquest; the roots in English are neither from French nor Latin.
What I really want to know is if shoes in German are called ‘fußglof’?
If you say, ‘yes’, then I really will be jealous. I want a foot glove…
I don’t like cars, but this is fucking bonkers. Trapping people in place isn’t ‘protesting’, it’s being a twat.
All the people claiming that this is a legitimate protest surely understand that the car driver was only ‘counterprotesting’, right?
I actually like AI overview, though I use DDG, not Google. It’s especially helpful when you just want a simple answer e.g. stuck on a level in a video game, wanting to know the major exports for a country, checking the release date for a movie/game, basic troubleshooting questions.
Website developers typically bloat simple questions like this with irrelevant rubbish to waste your time and keep you on their websites longer.
