11·2 days agoPossible but not required. I meant as a replacement for how English is currently a mandatory foreign language in many European countries.
New world order on its way. I wonder how long it will take Western countries to start offering Mandarin in school.
Edit to add: To clarify: I don’t mean offered as an optional language but as mandatory, the way English is right now in, for example, Switzerland.
Interesting read but not the same as a Karen in my mind.
Teng Wei, a professor at South China Normal University wrote, “When we use dama as an insult, what we’re really doing is suggesting that there’s something inherently wrong with being a middle-aged woman. It’s ageist, classist — and it’s time to stop.”

I would say it’s only with the hard and very hard rated puzzles that you’re losing time, the easy and medium puzzles I need to speed up and trust my instincts more.

I know. I stared at it for most of the time it took me until I finally figured out the starting point.

Arch in that context is an adjective, an “arch smile” being the example that immediately comes to mind. It’s old English and I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone say it, just read it.

14·16 days agoSignal does everything Whatsapp does and it aligns with my personal values:
-
I can support a healthy, competitive market by keeping alternatives alive - lack of competition is the death of innovation. Entshittification is only possible because there isn’t enough competition.
-
I help shield people who really need privacy (like journalists and whistle-blowers) by adding to the crowd for them to disappear in. I think of it a little as getting vaccinated - the chances are extremely low that I’ll ever really need privacy protection but I do it anyway, to protect the “at-risk” population, and to keep options alive in case my situation ever changes.
-
Privacy is not about having something to hide but about the right to consent. I don’t need anonymity, I have nothing to hide. However there are still some things that I don’t want some random Meta employee to know about me, or photos that are for my husband only. Signal allows me to choose what I share and with whom.
Edit: a word

Interesting, I found today’s easier than usual.

I wonder whether today’s is more British leaning than usual? I tend to struggle with the overtly American puzzles.
Inspector Morse, for example, is a classic British TV show that is still sometimes shown in re-runs.
Hypnotic wouldn’t have been the word I used to describe yellow but haze clearly fits with dream, trance, and spell as a being in a “fuzzy” mental state e.g. alcohol haze, drug trance, under a spell, dream state.
Also, I’m fairly sure I learned nanny at school.
