#Argentina #Milei #english #news Last Thursday students protested because Javier Milei is paying ~5.5 USD per hour to university teachers (average). They are just asking for ~8 USD per hour of pay (yes! that low!) but Milei instead sends the police to gas them and shoot rubber bullets at them. This is not asking for more. They are asking to get the same purchasing power as in 2023, which was already low... For 2024, 2025 and 2026, university teachers have been living with equiv. 5.5 USD/hour in a country that is more expensive every day. (yes! Milei has inflation in USD) Milei's economics is based on destroying public services and public infrastructure by not paying the bills and generating public #debt It is a complete failure and, as in other places like #France, it can only end in a social catastrophe. This excellent picture got very popular and that is the TL;DR; story behind it.

Umiem angielski lepiej niż lata temu, ale nadal nie na tyle, by mój mózg nie wyłączał się przy zbyt długich zdaniach... Ech... Dlatego brak automatycznych napisów jakie mogę przetłumaczyć tak mnie frustruje, wiecie, dosłownie jakby pokazano mi "Pierdol się" Dosłownie będą zmuszać do dania alt textu, ale jak mówisz, że brak automatycznych napisów dosłownie cię blokuje to nagle, że napisy są light techno-faszyzm, czy coś... #Youtube #Video #English #ASD #Autism #Problem

One quirk of the #english language I've always found disconcerting is the use of "dad" and "mom" for pet owners. Swedish has unique gendered names for pet owners nothing like the words for father or mother. I love #pets like all family members but still find the use of mom, dad, son, daughter etc to be just plain weird, creepy even. Are there other specific words for "fe|male pet owner" to use that still convey a family vibe?
