No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up?English
41·5 days agoYeah, that’s true. Although, not by much. I remember that in 1990’s there was still plenty of distrust towards them, as they were seen as nazis. Nobody wanted Germany to become strong. The 1990’s began 45 years after WWII had ended, and while the trust had been almost recovered, it was still not intact. I’m not sure if it’s even now: Germany is the biggest reason we didn’t support Ukraine militarily as much as needed back in spring 2022. They wanted cheap gas and were ready to accept horrors in the name of political realism. It’s hard at least for me to not see a connection between that cynicism and what the same cynicism led to in 1920’s and 1930’s.

1·5 days agoYeah, that’s absolutely correct, I agree!
But, it won’t return our trust towards USA. That will take decades, no matter what. Dethroning Trump is a good beginning. Or beginning of a beginning. But actual permanent changes would need to take place, amd I don’t really see them 8n the horizon.

1·6 days agoThere are legislative bodies that exist precisely for changing such laws. Make an exceptional law that is valid for only this one time use and then hire new judges, some of which are allowed to be among the ones fired.

1·6 days agoSo, basically one NATO member is saying that it will not honour its commitments if Spain ever gets attacked?
And maybe this means that all official documents will have to be delivered to the Spanish by some other NATO member state?
A suspension that suspenses nothing. Hooray.

2·6 days ago…and that time is about two generations. People reproduce at around age 25, so two generations are about 50 years.
I hope other countries will heed the warning.

19·6 days agoSimple: refrain from doing any stupid shit for half a century. Any stupid shit will kick the timer backwards 70% of the elapsed time.

61·10 days agoChoosing between USD and EUR is a fraud scheme, though. They have an exceptionally bad exchange rate for the non-EUR currencies. It’s basically always cheaper (unless your own bank is an absolute madhouse!) to choose payment in local currency and let your bank do the conversion.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do.contires that use commas for decimals read such numbers aloud?English
5·16 days ago7,5 is read in Finnish as “seitsemän pilkku viisi”. 7.5 would be read as “seitsemän piste viisi”.
The rule is that if it’s in decimal system, you use comma; if in any other system, you use dot. And you read what you write.
In Finnish we typically say "Än, yy, tee, nyt!", because our word for "now", nyt, is composed of letters N, Y and T.
The “y” is pronounced roughly the same way as “ew” in “new”. “ä” in the same as “a” in “cat”, and “e” is the same as “e” in “well”.
How about translating this to English and using the following as the standard?
"Aehn, oh, double you, now!"
