You could consider checking an encyclopaedia on the matter. I checked the English Wikipedia page on the matter for you. On the literal 2nd paragraph, they talk about second-generation immigrants.

My point is that you seem too stubborn to accept any use of the word apart from that of a dictionary. But I think we can all agree that language contains more than can fit in a dictionary. Therefore, you should acknowledge uses outside those found in a dictionary, like the use described in most encyclopaedias - I must image - on the matter.

Also I find your comment rude, which is just double annoying when you furthermore seem misinformed on the matter.

Both Cambridge dictionary and Merriam-Webster dictionary note other uses of blast apart from explosions.

The word is also noted to come from Old English, which is typically regarded as a period of the English language that ended in 1066. Probably not many bombs around, being centuries before any written record of gunpowder in Europe.

To end any comment with a serious use of "hope this helps" is only pitiful. If the help is misguided as well makes it both pitiful and irritating

Thanks for the heads up, I feel like I already started down this path when I objected to using Telegram for informal communication

Thanks for at least mentioning it:) I’ll look into it

I appreciate the advice, and I considered it as well, but I think it wouldn’t fly in 2026 when everyone expects wireless communication from the couch

Makes sense. I also really like that I don’t become an access point. Say if I move some day, there would need to be someone to take over.

Do you have experience using Nextcloud’s servers for this? Do you think it would be something the average Joe could handle in case of me not being able to do it?

Thanks:) I’ll try to read up on self hosting nextcloud, but it seems like a good alternative.

Also, a wiki? I’m probably just thick, but how do you suggest we do shift management and such?

Thank you!:)

I must live under a rock - I’ve never heard of this before. Do you suggest I just set this up on my PC at home and just have it running all the time?

I don’t have a homelab or similar, and in this economy not really the money to fork out for AI-caused inflated hardware prices for building one

If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because "violence" is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful' are, in reality, quite violent. Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of imprisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice. In the past, activists frequently leveraged the violence of police, taking actions they believed police would likely respond to with violence, in order to expose the brutality of policing and force the public to witness and confront it. Many of those actions, including protests carried out by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference or the Student Nonviolen Coordinating Committee during the civil rights movement, took place in a context that was very different from today's world of pervasive mass media. Today, people are much more accustomed to witnessing violence, including violence against protesters, as such imagery is shared widely on a regular basis, particularly through social media. The public has largely become inured to such imagery. The violence of the state in response to protest is rarely scrutinized to the degree that protesters are scrutinized. The idea that if you are defiant in the face of authority you should expect to incur its wrath is firmly entrenched in our culture. When people who defy police are abused, we often hear people ask, "What did they think was going to happen?" The ubiquity of the abuse puts the onus on the abused to avoid it, because they simply "should have known better." Protesters are expected to remain "nonviolent" at all times, regardless of the circumstances, while the state is assumed to be justified, at leas sometimes, in inflicting violence to quell "unrest."

What is "better" and what is "100% better"?

I feel like most other European languages I have heard do not either. (Well, what is "proper" anyways?) Care to share a language that does?

Do most countries’ education systems include a lot of propaganda? I have a hard time discerning between a general claim or US defaultism
