I think it’s because writers take care to make the pronunciation guessable form the spelling. English is infamous for it’s very inconsistent writing rules, however there are “rules”. More like heuristics, but usually it’s possible to write a word in such a way that others can guess the pronunciation, unless that specific word already has an accepted official spelling that is different.
How many times does the same mistake have to repeat? Communists didn’t invent revolutions you know. Peasant rebellions were a thing in medieval Europe, and many different kinds of uprisings were tried during the centuries. And there’s the same pattern repeating again and again - it either fails in bloodshed, or succeeds only for the winners to establish a new tyrannical system.
The only exception was started by rich landowners because they didn’t want to pay taxes to the king. (American)
Note that I’m talking about violent revolutions - there were quite a few examples of non-violent or semi-violent revolts/uprisings that didn’t end up catastrophically. India, South Africa, Portugal, post-communist Eastern Europe come to mind.
Revolutionaries thinking that only if they terrorize enough people a new better society will magically come into existence.
And of course they will be the new ruling class, never on the receiving end of the terror.
There should be another half with Hamas doing the same to a slightly different subset of the West. Both have tuned their propaganda to 110%, Hamas is even slightly more successful.
The only solution is a 0 state solution.
Oh I feel this so much. There’s a range of jobs and environments where I do really really well. But the way most organizations are structured I can never find a place where my strengths are desirable in the long term.
And selling myself is not one of my strengths.
Time to sell Nvidia stock. Congrats to Huang for pulling it off. Get out when you’re on top.
You can do it!
Embrace your inner potato. Feel the potato flow through you. You are one with the potato.
And each hand is another head with 8 more Nick headed hands.

I have to agree. There are proportionally fewer representations of healthy “straight” relationships. Basically identifying as straight restricts you to a narrow spectrum of toxic or abusive relationships.
Most people who actually like eachother don’t put much emphasis on identifying as straight. They just like the person they are with.
I propose a new category: non-straight hetero. You are attracted to the opposite sex, but not in a straight way.
If you write apps integrating with MS Teams you still sometimes get exceptions mentioning Skype. I’m pretty sure they reused a decent part of the code
Pornstars are legitimate entertainers that bring at least something positive to the society. Unlike Donald Trump.
If he goes to prison and then gets elected president, how does it work? Will he be pronounced incapable of performing the office, do the job from prison, or get released?
Dating.
I don’t see the point to it, faking that you like someone so your friends and family approve.
Drop accounting and commercial transaction documents. Invoices, receipts, shipping declarations, etc… Sure it could be interesting to future archeologists but it makes the huge majority of all documents generated by humanity. We still have millions of untranslated accounting docs from ancient Mesopotàmia. It not really that useful.
Content published in less than 1000 copies, or read/watched less than 1000 times if online. Fanfiction, self published books and so on. Again it’s a loss for a couple of niche future historians. You drop a significant % of storage, but even minor works representing our society remain.
You know what happens when an entire nation is exposed to luxurious lifestyles of an extremely wealthy minority?
Revolution. Revolution happens.
Chinese politicians know this fact too well, that’s why they’re trying to make rich people hide their wealth.
I mean actually fixing the problem is out of the question, that would be communism.
I really don’t get the Nazi belief system.
According to their own philosophy they should be willingly serving the superior race - Jews

If there’s a developer deserving of sainthood it’s Terry Davies of TempleOS fame. But I’m not sure if he counts as Catholic.
Maybe we just met a second speaker of the infamous bird/dolphin language
