man it's a hard choice between NSA shit and military shit
@alyx I was going to say Windows after I read the first line lol

Hmm I guess it could be the Microsoft office suite, but maybe thats cheating since it is Windows kinda.

Personally I despise whatsapp because I am forced to use it at work and in normal life in order to get things done.

Discord could also be it, they refuse to allow people to hide blocked messages, and they give excuses like "the way discord is built doesnt allow for that" which is complete bullshit, so for some reason they have a secret agenda to force people to be annoyed constantly by those they have blocked, and then you realize the word "discord" means disharmony, conflict. Something to think about.

Which is the worst, most corrupt, most despicable, most [insert bad thing here] piece of proprietary software you can think of? Let's exclude operating systems, cause it would be too easy for everyone to just say Windows.

The problem in allying with socialists is that they have lefty instincts, and one of those instincts makes them expert entryists. They infiltrate, subvert, and destroy anything that sits to the right of themselves. They often wind up pulling the trigger against their allies before victory against a common enemy can be achieved.

Did you know that most Romanian children will study economics in highschool?
I thought I'd mention that because I absolutely love when 'muricans tell me I don't understand economic theory.

I've been humming a song in my head for a few minutes now, and I couldn't really figure out what it was, until it hit me: it was the end credits song from HL:Alyx.

Who here knows what a quince is or has eaten one?

They're one of my favorite fruit, but recently I realized I've never learned their English name, because I've never seen them being portrayed or talked about in any kind of media, movie, shows etc.

So now I'm curious, if it's really that rare in other places.

I'm not a big fan of the Romanian language. I find English much more elegant.

One of the things that I absolutely love about English is how easily you can create brand new words, either through altering a prefix/suffix, or by merging or concatenating 2 previous existing words. And the end result sounds just as natural as any other English word.

You really can't do the same with Romanian. No matter how much you try, "băiat-pisică" doesn't flow as easily as "cat-boy".

We literally had to copy the word "weekend", because a literal translation would be "sfârșit de săptămână", which is way too long and unwieldy, and we just don't have a way to make a good alternative.
