"How English Sounds to Non-English Speakers" ^

Have you ever seen this Joe?

”Democracy attaches itself to a form of government: Liberalism, to liberty and guarantees of liberty. The two may agree; they are not contradictory, but they are neither identical, nor necessarily connected. In the moral order, liberalism is the liberty to think, recognized and practiced. This is primordial liberalism, as the liberty to think is itself the first and noblest of liberties. Man would not be free in any degree or in any sphere of action, if he were not a thinking being endowed with consciousness. The freedom of worship, the freedom of education, and the freedom of the press are derived the most directly from the freedom to think. -- Lalor, John Joseph (1883).

I am Fnord, and I endorse these claims.

That's how hear people speak sometimes. I remember one time these people talking to me and I asked them where they were from and they were actually English. They thought I was high but I wasn't. I was just hearing them but all jumbled up. Then when I started concentrating I could hear them properly.

I swear I've had a knock on the head at some point in my life.

I refuse to listen to anti-abortion lectures from people who think
school shootings are expressions of Second-Amendment rights.

I thought that was a fairly popular view, with the exception of a 12 year period where an especially problematic dictatorship came to power. I think you know the one I'm talking about.

Humanity is more f****d than we're willing to consider, no matter what we do.

Some people are simply born unlucky and there is no solution to every problem.

Most of the facts don't care about your feelings crowd are deeply offended to discover facts don't care about their feelings either and they're often willing to become violent to ensure their feelings are considered.

I love covid. I want the strict restrictions to come back. My life was a lot better with them imposed on us.

The world would be a much more interesting place if everyone was brave enough to be themselves.

While wealth cannot buy happiness, hand-to-mouth poverty buys much, much less.
