thinking about what words have the most directional modifiers yielding distinct concepts:

piss:

fuck:

- fuck around
- fuck up

lock:
- lock in
- lock out
- lock on
- lock off

- lock down

come:
- come up
- come down
- come around
- come off

- come through

get:
- get up
- get down
- get over
- get off
- get through

are there any other good ones?

Normalerweise ist das wegen der Videoüberwachung Farbnachtsicht.
Vergleichbar mit Fotofiltern, je nachdem was Du identifizieren willst (oder auch nicht), z.B. Personen / Kennzeichen etc.
Die Laterne ist wohl eher die Kamera …

The post-summer-season is starting and while our map lists some events, we are sure that is missing a lot as well!

Fun fact: the U.S. Constitution does not require citizenship to vote.

I'll repeat that: the U.S. Constitution does not say that only citizens can vote. It does not ban non-citizens from voting.

A federal *statute* contains this requirement, as do many states' laws. But if the law was changed to, eg, allow any permanent resident to vote as well, that would be fine constitutionally (and probably a good idea imho).

So don't let people get away with just assuming that "only citizens can vote" is a given. It's not. It's a policy choice.

🇪🇺 How many languages do you speak?

From everyday expressions to words that capture an idea or feeling in a way your own language doesn’t, languages give us different ways to understand and connect with the world.

Today, we celebrate Europe’s linguistic diversity and the 24 official languages of the EU. 🇪🇺

What’s your favourite one?

That's so tragic.
