I pronounce it the same as other people here: “sock-urh”. I was just confused about the “association” thing, so thanks for clearing that up!

More importantly in the short run, remove it from your wishlists so that Krafton can see your choice! At the moment, they are super proud of the game being the most wishlisted on Steam.

No, and it isn't the first time the industry did this, by far: https://www.businessinsider.com/riaa-claims-limewire-owes-trillions-2012-5

There are only so many ways to represent the spectrum of light.

LibreWolf is not a fork, though. It's a customised version of FF, so every shit they introduce has to be painstakingly removed by the LW team, provided that is even possible. (See Manifest V3 in Chrome.)

Really, nobody is going to point out that "cupboard" = "cup" + "board"?

All of that is incorrect.

You can check the GEMA fees here: https://www.gema.de/portal/app/tarifrechner/preisrechner - I had it calculate the fees for a 4-hour concert with 100 seats and an entrance fee of 5 Euros, and the total GEMA fee is 31,35 €. If all seats are filled, that is less than 10% of your income. Certainly a lot of money, but a far cry from "all of said fee or even more".

Secondly, if you are not a GEMA member and all the music you play is non-GEMA (and written by yourself), you don't have to pay anything, see here for example: https://www.anwalt.de/rechtstipps/gema (central quote: "Der GEMA-Pflicht unterliegen dabei alle Musikwerke, für die sie die Verwertungsrechte erhalten hat", translation: "GEMA liability applies to all musical works for which it has received exploitation rights.")

I don't like the GEMA either, but let's stay with the verifiable facts, please.

Again this fake quote? I know it's justa mindless copy-and-paste, but at least put it into context. Marx never wrote that. Here's page 651 of the Moore translation, and here's a discussion of the origin of that quote.

Ok, I have an experiment for you. Go touch some really hot chili peppers, then wash you hands. With soap. Three times, if you like. Then rub your eyes. Then tell me that felt absolutely fine. Go ahead, I'll wait.

The Welsh "defaid" is pronounced "de-VIDE", by the way (with an "eh" sound in the first syllable, not an "ee"). If you want an f sound, you spell it with two fs – "fforest" being a great example.

Capsaicin is non-soluble in water and basically doesn't wash off.

DLSS has no application in AI, though, so that point is not really valid here.

She regularly posted on Mastodon, and during the last month there was a post every few days about how much she was in pain. It was heartbreaking really, and finding out that she lost that battle didn't make it any better.

sigh If more than 7 seats out of 100 are filled, you will make a profit. Happier?

I'm not going to comment on your second paragraph, since it doesn't contradict what I wrote. And if I were a GEMA shill, I probably wouldn't provide links for my claims, but you do you.

Where is "association" pronounced like that, if I may ask? I could only find the pronunciation I'm familiar with, which is this: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/pronunciation/english/association

To maybe be more clear: you are implying that the c in "soc" is pronounced like a "sh" when it's the t in "tion".

(Edit: missed some letters.)

English is a pretty simple language to learn, but the pronunciation isn't part of that simplicity. It's especially tough to unlearn wrong pronunciations you've cultivated for years. In my case (for instance), sword (which I pronounced like "word") and realm (re-alm).

If that's your argument, then why don't you grow your own audience that loves everything you do?

Just to clarify: Germany is sending 13 people to survey the defensive situation in Greenland.
