Why do people need an alternative spelling to a country whose name is spelled in a latin alphabet?

Should we spell England, wing-lunge for fun?


I see plenty of racists calling for ethnic segregation in person, but online too? You sir, take the ridiculous prize today.


Since when is saying countries should have their own social media platforms "racist"? You think it was "racist" for europe to develop airbus? You think a nation should rely on a foreign power for their social media needs? You think a nation should let a foreign power control their electricity?

Saying nations should empower themselves isn't "racism". It's the opposite of racism.


rolls eyes

Bro, come back to me when you're 100% "local". Every last element of your computing environment and lifestyle is manufactured, developed, coded, and maintained locally.

Then I'll never have to hear from you again.

By the way, there is such a thing as BBC in Turkiye.


The Diyanet said "Do not look to social media for hope in finding loved ones, look to Allah". A few minutes later twitter was blocked. I think god is jealous of Twitter today.


There's a joke that goes like this.

There's a man who gets warning that his village is about to be flooded and he gets a warning he needs to evacuate immediately. He says he places his trust in god and decides to wait for god's help. A while later a tractor comes by and asks him if wants a ride out of the village, he tells them he places his trust his god to rescue them and tells them goodbye. A while later a bunch of cow herders and asks if wants a walk out of the village, he tells them .. trust.. god. Now water begins to come into the village. He climbs to the top of a hillock. A while later a few people arrive in a boat and ask him if we wants a ride out of the village, he tells them .. trust .. god. A while later he dies and then complains to god about help not arriving. God asks what else but help was the warning, tractor, cow herders and boat were?

There's a joke in here that Twitter is how God wants to help.


…so do nothing and forget about them in other words?


Exactly. "God will save".

Inshallah Tayipp will find himself hiding from 10 million furious Turks storming his 1,000 bedroom palace by the end of the week.

It's time for this criminal go to jail or flee to moscow.


Were the names in English or Chinese?
