@onlmaps Slovenian is Henrik, not Henry, which is obviously English.

@MatthewJRoth @SandyofCthulhu I don't know what you mean. What was stigmatized?
They are extremely well integrated, non necessarily through Luxembourgish. Those who came here as adults mostly speak French, those who went through Luxembourgish schools, speak Luxembourgish like any other migrant community.
English

@MGJan @SandyofCthulhu It’s not, it’s because they learned Luxembourgish early when it was highly stigmatized

Luxembourgian. A native told me this. He said everyone in Luxembourg knows English, French, and German anyway, and by not teaching Luxembourgian they had a secret language for making financial deals.
Pieta 🌨️@PietaPotato
is there a language where the native speakers actively discourage you from learning it
English

@MatthewJRoth @SandyofCthulhu They are indeed extremely well integrated. However it's a multiple non sequitur regarding the fact that Luxembourg encourages learning Luxembourgish.
English

@MGJan @SandyofCthulhu Yeah the Portuguese are extremely well integrated in LU as a result

@FinPlanKaluAja1 In Nigeria he is only a Nigerian national, regardless of any other citizenships he might have or weather or not he used a foreign passport to enter the country, he cannot be provided diplomatic protection by an other country.

My friend is a dual citizen of Nigeria and the US
He wants to travel to Nigeria and is seeking a Nigerian visa. I asked, “Why, you are Nigerian, travel with your Nigerian passport “
He said
“When I travel to Nigeria, I travel as an American, I get a visa, and inform the US embassy in Abuja with a courtesy note that I am in Nigeria. I don't want to be arrested by some random police officer for cyberbullying”

@xruiztru Not sure about the Serbian transcription in latin (bad bunny).

@reddit_lies Yeah, the church copied classic manuscripts for 500 years after destroying them for 500 years.

@hispanicnomad @realaryo Please, Slovenia is not Slovakia.

My wife just asked me what I want for my birthday next month.
I said I don't need anything.
This is a trap I set for myself every year.
If I say I don't need anything, she'll get me something she thinks I need. Which is usually clothes or "an experience" like tickets to something.
I don't want clothes or experiences. I want the new iPad Pro.
But I can't say I want the new iPad Pro because I just got a MacBook "for work" two months ago (that lives at my house).
So I'll wait a week and casually mention that my current iPad is "getting slow" and "probably needs to be replaced soon."
She'll suggest I get it through work. I'll say "IT equipment purchases are frozen right now, budget constraints."
This is a lie. But it's a necessary lie.
Then she'll suggest maybe that's what she could get me for my birthday. I'll reluctantly agree.
She'll think it was her idea. I'll get exactly what I want.
Marriage is just long-term negotiation with someone who knows all your tactics but loves you anyway.
