An example of the 4th: the dog is having fun in the park. You call it over and it comes like a good dog. Then you put the leash on it and take it home.

An example of the 3rd: the dog begs for food and you give it food.

An example of the 1st: the dog gives up begging, slumps down in resignation, and then you give it a treat.

your kind of politics is status-quo-enjoyer

Thank you for telling me what my kind of politics is.

Do I owe you a fee for the diagnosis?

OP is not the only one who has noticed a lot of content on here is shallow&political

If you don’t like political posts, don’t read them.

If only it were that simple. These nerds pop up all over the place. Like when I posted about the World Cup, nothing but politics-nerds in the comments: https://lemmy.ml/post/45406364

What do you want to learn how to make (out of wood)?

You’re setting up a rhetorical double-bind

I tried asking about the World Cup the other day and the comments were all about politics. Super gay and annoying.

ew sarcasm

Comment section of this post is not beating the allegations

Yeah exciting they’re in it. First time since… uhh… France '98 I think

South Africa

What do you like about US politics?

The UK government… a cellphone

It is a statement not a question.

This is what a VPN is for

I understand the question.

Oh good! 😮‍💨

OP is asking what the English variations there are throughout the world.

Then why did she ask about Norwegian? Why did she say “of your language” rather than English? Why did she answer my question by saying she means dialects from the Americas?

I am curious if Jamaican Patois would count as a different language entirely

There’s no academic/formal definition of what counts as a different language rather than a variant. Then it gets politically contested: peoples who want to assert their separatedness claim their language is totally different (e.g. Ulster Scots). That’s one reason if you ask “How many languages are there in the world?”, linguists tell ya “Between 4000 and 8000”
