As a counter example, I managed to make friends with a Swiss person while elsewhere in Europe, and then later in my travels got to visit them in Switzerland for a few days. My time there was truly one of the most breathtaking and memorable experiences of my trip.
Maybe it's expensive, maybe Europeans are "cold" personality wise, but God damn they have got some incredible scenery.
To be fair, the first despicable me was decent imo. But the abominations which followed...
Fake nails. I have nothing against people who wear them, but for some reason it just instantly makes me think we are not compatible at all.
If it's the SpongeBob squarepants theme then it's ok. In fact that's a bonus.
Isn't doing things to avoid boredom exactly what a hobby is? :D would you consider hiking to be a hobby?
Anyone can clearly see if edits have been made, and I have not made any. Please don't fabricate lies.
Isn't it?
When those are just the precursors to the horrible murder, I'd have to say yes, magnitudes worse.
And I never asked you to explain why rape is awful, I never disagreed with that. I wanted you to explain why it being a precursor to murder, makes it magnitudes worse than murder. But for some reason you insist on pretending that I'm asking "why is rape awful"??
I'm not sure why you are being so condescending. I'm well aware how brutal rape can be, I'm also aware how brutal murder can be. But this doesn't explain the logic of yours that I wanted to understand, which was that "when rape includes murder, then rape is magnitudes worse than murder alone".
Ah ok. I was thinking of specific instances rather than an indefinitely long situation, so I see where you are coming from now.
Then I think I'm not understanding something here, maybe you can explain (asking genuinely). Because it seems to me that what you said doesn't make sense with the definition of the word?
It wasn't whether they are worse (I'd agree that they are often worse), but if they are magnitudes worse. If the kidnap, imprisonment and rape of one person is comparable to the murder of hundreds or thousands of people (since that would be magnitudes more).
In my opinion to call one magnitudes worse than the other is to immensely downplay the seriousness of the other.
This happens in a lot of countries. For me I noticed it particularly with young people in Germany, and pretty much anyone in Norway.
Can make it slightly frustrating when actively trying to learn the language by speaking with people 😅
