  • I work for a multi-national IT department. I just happen to have a UK, FR and DE laptop on the workbench. I don’t see the em-dash on any of them. AltGr + hyphen does nothing on Windows (Google search says Mac supports this). None of these laptops have a numpad, but Google search says maybe CTRL+MINUS(numpad) may give an em-dash. Can’t test though.

    In any case, it seems the world has left behind em-dash, so correcting users on a public forum seems pointless.






  • Whilst I don’t agree with the tactic, as like you said, if it happened to me or my family I’d be distraught. I don’t want to fight in a war.

    With the Ukraine/Russian war going on so long, both sides are running out of cannon fodder recruits. Both sides are pushing people into the war that didn’t choose to be.

    Edit: Instead of having a discussion, PolandIsAStateOfMind reported the above as “misinformation”. Please discuss rather than attempt to shut down. This is a community driven by interactive discussion,. Just chat. I won’t be offended. Correct me.



  • This rings true to me. I’m a westerner and I see how geo-politics is being handled and it really is a bunch of kids.

    Not trying to do whataboutism, but its important to note that the insights on how Russian population are controlled with fear is echo’d throughout the world. US and its now inbred hatred for the word “communism”, and its forced relation with Russia, etc is dissapointing.

    If we manage to survive the current crisis /and/ manage to de-escelate, it will take generations of peaceful teachings for large powers to actually calm down. I find this scenerio unlikely.
