Yeah, that’s either two “sentences” or one statement imo!

The first part doesn’t even need to be a question. A suggestion like that would usually be a statement. If there’s enough rising intonation that it needs a question mark, there’s probably enough of a pause to justify having two sentences.

Even with the en dash, it looks like subtraction to me! Haha

An em dash wouldn’t, but that would also probably be too wide

Isn’t that just “approximately equal to”, and as such, wouldn’t express a range?

Ah, I see. Like you suggested though, that’s definitely not a question (which is what the other comment said)

To express a range of numbers, Korean (and likely other Asian languages) will use a tilde instead of a dash or hyphen. To me, that better expresses that we’re talking about an indeterminate value or a range. Especially when we use ~ for “about”, as in ~$20 for something that costs $17.99 before tax, for example.

Dining out costs like 20~40 dollars per person!

Whereas “20-40” looks too similar to a subtraction equation or a hyphenated word to me.

Either the whole thing is a question or you need to break it up.

I’m curious if you can convince me otherwise though!

It’s not a regular ID to vote. It’s a regular ID.

You need an ID to vote, but you can use it for many other things too.

If getting an ID is a barrier for you to vote, then talk to your representatives and they might be able to help you out.

I feel like a chunk of the population of Lemmy is people who got banned from Reddit.

And a portion of that chunk got banned for being too young according to Reddit’s T&C, lol

8 hours a day plus whatever the commute time is (times two)

Probably something like 99.9% of guns or more are legal guns when they’re manufactured. If there were fewer legal guns produced and out there, there’d be fewer illegal guns for criminals, would-be or otherwise, to get their hands on.

In a way, they’re right that there’s an alternative. But the alternative is death, and most sane people wouldn’t prefer that.

That would really be China taking over Korea, then. That’s not North Korea taking over

It sounds like this is a case of two noisy neighbours hating each other’s noise, lol

North Korea taking over South Korea sounds as absurd to me as Jamaica taking over the US.

The closest to “taking over” SK would be if they started dropping nukes and didn’t actually want the land/resources/businesses/money and also didn’t care about retaliation from allies…

The grant proposal:

“They definitely exist, and this marriage will change the world. The wedding must be funded now or else we risk someone else marrying them and getting all the credit for the wedding.”

“Freedom” = You can choose what you want to do

“Security” = limits on what you want to do.

Not always, but generally.

Sometimes if someone else has more freedom, that can lessen your security/safety.

For me? Shaving makes me feel like I’m putting effort into that area, and I just like how everything feels when it’s smoother.

For my partners? I don’t like getting hair in my mouth. Lol

The minimal amount of words to communicate is 0.

If you want to be functional in a new country, you’d need to figure out what kinds of things you want to say and how functional you want to be.
