It's meant to be read as:

"If help offends help, this help-flag help[s] you."

The New York Times wrote that it was not definitively proven whether the three Marines killed by villagers were the same ones responsible for the rapes. The families of the deceased Marines voiced doubt that their relatives were capable of committing rape.

The reaction of the relatives is expected, the reaction of the NYT is disappointing. The amount of wartime rapes proven is near zero. No shit, there was no public trial where evidence was presented and guilt was proven. Nor would there have been, the US military to this day protects their soldiers from facing consequences for crimes against civilians.

Ist die Verwendung von "eins" als Pronomen ein Übersetzungsfehler (vom Englischen Pronomen "one") oder als geschlechtsneutrale Alternative zu "man"?

Den Moment, wenn eins die Sachen aufs Band legt und innerlich zusammenzählt. Nicht weil man vergessen hat aufzuladen.

Oder als Alternative zu "du"?

Für jedes Produkt sieht eins zwei Werte:

Ich bin mir ziemlich unsicher, es wird eben nicht konsequent durchgezogen. Und die ganzen " Es ist nicht X, es ist Y" Phrasen kitzeln meinen LLM-Riecher.

Unter "eins als neopronomen" konnte ich jetzt auch nichts im Internet finden.

that would kill almost anything else

Guess what: It's fact check time!!

Anthrax: ❌

Most birds are naturally resistant to anthrax because of their higher body temperature.

Botulism (actually botox, botulism is the illness caused by botox. You can't quite eat an illness): ✅

"Botulism is one of the most toxic substances in the world, and [turkey vultures'] guts are filled with this bacteria, which apparently has no effect on them," says Graves.

(Yes, the article made the same mistake)

Rabies: ❌

All warm-blooded species, including humans, may become infected with the rabies virus. Birds were first artificially infected with rabies in 1884; however, infected birds are largely, if not wholly, asymptomatic, and recover.

Cholera (actually avian cholera, which is distinct from "normal" cholera): ❓

Besides chickens, the disease also concerns turkeys, ducks, geese, raptors, and canaries.

So 2/4 diseases are already irrelevant for birds but they sound scary because they infect humans. But:

Avian cholera barely even counts because it's caused by "Pasteurella multocida" while (human) cholera is caused by "Vibrio cholerae". The two bacteria are genetically as closely related as humans and mammoths. And avian cholera does not kill anything but birds.

This isn't to degrade the vulture's ability to withstand pathogens and toxins, that is still very impressive. It's just that obviously birds are immune to most human diseases, as pathogens don't tend to easily jump between distant species.

And even if they DO jump between species, they usually do not bring their "deadliness" with them (unless they produce poison like botox) as different species react completely differently. Maybe rabies is the one exception, as adjusting the behavior of your host by rummaging around in the brain has some universally negative side effects.

Ganz einfach:

Nutze Ed und schreib deine Zeitung in HTML.

PKK, AKP, FKK, alles das gleiche.

Reminds me of how automated translation services translate job names into strictly gendered languages. Wihout any context, engineer translates to the male variant and nurse to the female.

Same with translating gender neutral pronouns into languages that don't have them. "Their husband" will translate into "her husband" (assuming you give sufficient context that "their" is singular in this instance).

It is an issue but there are no obvious solutions.

Not really, these laws only apply to services that serve traffic to Britain.

Block all British IP addresses, like Imgur did, and you adhere to the law.
