"France" comes from the "franks" who were considered Germans originally

Ignoring that four of the five biggest economies have thousands of years of history being a powerful country

If a battle can not be won do not fight it.

If you police it it's not a cultural thing. If it was just a cultural thing than we could just let the * slowly die out. But banning language hinders progress. And I'm sorry, but the German language is constantly shifting and changing. There have even been multiple planned changes that went pretty well in recent history. Using English words might have been a big change back then, but now it's really common. The first terms for mobile were things like "Taschentelefon" (pocket telephone), "drahtloses Telephone" (wireles telephone) or the one that is still in use "Mobiltelefon" (mobile phone). None of these seem outlandish to me.

I 100% agree that it's not perfect. Still, banning an attempt at being inclusive is clearly not about how impractical it can be. And even if it were, policing language is stupid 9 times out of 10.

Do not ever do this to your local Fastfood workers they will make sure to piss in the oil for you. I gladly put in a little extra work for nice customers, but this is the absolute worst you can do to a McDonald's worker. Life hack tho, you can just dunk some of the fries you prepared already into the oil again and it will wash if the salt and make them seem fresher for a few seconds.

What are you even advertising to those people? Is there something that people with HIV are really into collectively? I mean despite medication, but that is free in the UK, right?

That's what steamkeys are for. They are also more profitable for the creator!

A lot of the German wars in Europe I can think of right now where actually fought because of poorly drawn borders or were at least motivated largely by borders. Including French German wars. The Elsass-Lothringen dispute has always been extremely important for french-german relations.

Or just do whatever you feel like in the moment and then jump in front of the trolley to escape all consequences.

And also fucking 16 wheelers. Romans did not drive 80 ton (made up number. I don't know how heavy big trucks are. But I'm Shure they are lighter than ancient wagons. To be honest I just hate cars and I want to use a scientific discussion to push my personal political view.) vehicles.
