within the context of fiction, yeah it doesn't matter at all. there's an entire genre of literature with authors using fake words and random symbols and stuff in their writing, stuff doesn't have to be translated there. the only thing I found funny was the implication that nonwhite people are somehow more entitled to footnotes than white people are.
Sometimes I wish your dumb, racist belief that liberals are throwing money and book deals at “entitled” non-white people was true
did you respond to the right comment? where did you even read this in their comment? the original tweet says "readers, especially white readers, are not entitled to footnotes", which makes it sounds like if you're Indian, you're somehow more entitled to footnotes than if you were German or something. it makes no sense.

we used to not hear from this guy, why's he suddenly tweeting and doing epic clapbacks? is he just jealous of the attention Musk gets?
historians writing about Germany be like:
but my coffee maker is Dutch
/r/collapse is an insane subreddit. 0% coherent ideology, 100% doom.
I cannot wait to get out of this shit hole, that might end up being the happiest day of my life lol. the plan right now is to finish my bachelor's, apply for master's programs there, and try to stay afterwards. I'm doing a CS degree, so that gives me a pretty good shot I think.
People like to shit on socdems, but damn if they didn’t build a nice little welfare state for themselves over here. Turns you right into a socdem apologist (tankies will say that’s the point!!)
I've never thought about that, but it must be difficult to radicalize people to our side when everyone's mostly comfortable. is there much of a left movement there? I know Rødt did pretty well in the last elections
that's cool to hear. and yeah I was born in Iran but have lived in the US practically all my life, so I'll probably just be seen as an American. it's not like I ever really 'fit in' in this country either, being in grade school after the 9/11 years was absolutely miserable. even these days, I get weird comments and stuff.
are you from there yourself? I'm desperately trying to do well enough in school so I can get into a master's program there, seems like a nice place to live.
yeah that's nuts, tragic.
also, guess who's of Iranian ethnicity trying to move to Norway? I'm sure that's gonna be fun lol
there was just another shooting in Oslo too, wasn't there? are the Nordics doing ok?
I don't know how much detail they went into on this one in the US. I didn't really realize how wild it was til I saw a documentary on it a few months ago. dude bombed downtown as a decoy and then hunted children down on an island.
I really wish I was in a position where "take a shower" helped me with dating lmao
every "dating advice" thread on reddit is at least half "take a shower and use deodorant"
women don't count
the content of the tweet makes sense, it's just written in a silly way.
the first line implying that some people are more worthy of footnotes than others is dumb. also, who is this even for? like your example, this is something that's always been done in writing but couched in "it's not my job to educate you" language
