As a non American, thank you. The headline made zero sense without that context.

In theory yes. In practice or will require enormous resources to build a case against the army of layers that Google and the other giants can afford. I believe only the government now is big enough to do it, with the antitrust law.

Yeah, but fort that you had to finish the game. That was HARD as hell back in the days. I believe neither I nor anyone in my elementary school knew Samus was a girl because nobody managed to finish the game.

Most people will think traffic behave like water that you need to send through a network of pipes. It is not, traffic is made of humans and humans reactions will make traffic behave wildly differently than waters in pipes.

  • Some people and businesses will move next to the new highway for its supposed ease of access, creating traffic
  • some people might change their habits and go shopping to this place instead of that place, or getting a job far away from their home (or a home far away from home)

The exact reasons for the increase in traffic is complex and my example could be totally off. But we don't need to know the exact reason for the increase in traffic, we know it happens because it has been observed on every road enlargement projects in the last decades.

In French, we have different synonyms for that :

  • "machine à laver", which is female
  • "lave-linge", which is male
  • "laveuse" (Québec only), which is female

Why do they have different gender for the same thing ? Because, insert your favorite expletive word, that's why !

Louis is the "same name" as Clovis. I mean by that it is how the name evolved as the dynasties changed their language from Frankish to Latin to then French.

Clovis was the first king unifying all Franks, so many Frank kings are named Clovis ... and later ones are named Louis.

As he said, it doesn't work in English ... until enough people does it that it becomes acceptable.

Thanks, but what does it have to do with transphobia ?

Well that's disappointing. I understand why this is not the headline. Not click-baity enough.
