This reads like a George Carlin bit

It’s the opposite, actually. Serbia recently entered year two of mass, country-wide anti-government protests. This is bribe to keep the government in the US’ good graces.

…I think I understand the source of the confusion here.

You think 8-12-16oz is the standard in coffee shops worldwide, because to you, “coffee” means “latte”, and “coffee shop” means “place that sells latte in plastic to-go cups”, whereas the standard unit of coffee in Europe is a café espresso, which is a 30ml shot of pure coffee served in a 50-100ml white china demitasse.

They are typically 225, 336, 460, and sometimes 570 ml

You mean “They are typically 225, 336, 460, and sometimes 570 ml.^[1]^”? I agree, it is dubious - it’s like someone assumed the whole world makes coffee in 8, 12, and 16oz. Also, they’re just below the “cup holding 50−100 ml” for espresso and “cup holding approximately 160 ml” for cappuccino.

…But that’s cup size, not coffee size. And even then, an espresso cup is something like 80ml (illy US specifies 3oz), which makes sense if a lungo is 60ml. A metric cup is legally defined as 240, not because cups made in Europe are 250ml, but because the US customary unit of “cup” translates to about 240ml of volume. Actyal, physical metric cups are generally 80-150ml. A 240ml “cup” is more of a mug than a cup, really, and even mugs are usually .3l or so.

And I don’t think I’ve ever, in my life, gotten served a half-liter of anything non-bottled, other than beer or maybe soup.

And it doesn’t even include von Bülow!

I kinda feel the picture being AI adds to the point, honestly…

??? A .5l iced coffee is not “regular”, nor is “shot” the smallest. A typical shot of espresso is 30ml (1floz), half for ristretto, double for lungo.

Nah, see, the progressives will hold their nose, and if they don’t, Trump is their fault. Same how the Democrats will do as Trump says, and if they don’t, the shutdown is their fault.

What is a hog but a horse with more horsepower?

Yeah, my “digital ID” is literally a PGP key pair with the police as the authority. It’s like the government giving you a yubikey.

More like “the cops can’t get a search warrant, so they park outside and shoot through the windows, hoping someone fires back”.

I think it was intended as a reverse of 4chan’s “tits or gtfo”.

On the contrary, they are breaking the rules - of modern English. And I’m disagreeing with their way of doing it.

And yes, this is “right” and “wrong” as a matter of taste more than anything, but then again so is using thorn and eth.

Frankli, þes, þes I do, becas yeþ didnt speak modern Engliș, wiç we do, & to wiç ye ruls aplþ to. Ye misionarþ is verþ wrong to lektur ye nativs on yeir langweig, but is eqali right to lektur yem on Engliș.

There is a right and a wrong way to break the rules. If you’re gonna go out of your way to use obsolete ortography, don’t half-ass it.

Sure, back yen spelinge was more viebbes baesed yan nott, but if you’re gonna bring them back, do it right.

Oh, it’s not because Europe got better, it’s because everyone else went to the shitter even faster!

More like, if you’re already gonna use thorn, why are you using it wrong? It should be “wið”.
