I was raped

I believe you no doubt

I was falsely accused

Flat out do not believe you

I'm not sure if you care, but you are being very hypocritical.

Obama is old

Yes but did you know he did drone strikes

Because its both irrelevant to the topic (unless that's the reason he was fired, which I doubt) and a mere allegation. Innocent until proven guilty.

He could have almost any woman he wanted thanks to his wallet

Perhaps what he wanted wasn't a whore

(Which makes JpegXL even better)

app is closed source :/

Looks cool though

I don't speak english as a first language either. I'm german. But I'd happily enact english as the official language in Germany, eventually replacing german altogether.

Why not?

I don't see why one would prefer having to learn and use a second language, which they're not as familiar with as with their first language, instead of just using their first language everywhere.

Having everyone always use the same language would not just ease direct communication, it would also help making (cultural and scientific) assets more accessible, because they wouldn't need to be translated.

Most people only watch movies in their first language. If the movie happens to initially be released in a different language, they only get access to that movie at a later time, if ever.

Same for many other things. Many people post recipes they like online. Often in their first language. People who don't speak that language will never get to see those recipes. (Unless they use a translation tool to understand the recipe, which most won't do. Most will just use a recipe written in their first language.)

This hinders cultural (and scientific) exchange.

I believe that the culture that is erased by deprecating a language is insignificant when compared to the cultural exchange lost to language barriers.

I'd argue it's a good thing if more people speak the same language(s). There's no need for segregation based on language barriers.

We know it's bad for us

You have the knowledge in the back of your mind. The warnings make you have it in active thought.

we don't need a nanny state

Do you truly believe consumers usually/always make rational and reasonable decisions, that don't go against their own interests?
