i mean, you could try not sparing the rod and taking away privileges

like games or toys or the like

@Deleted User Wrong. Polish as a distinct language emerged out of the Western Slavic language group around the 10th century.

i feel like if you use the carrot tactic they might develop some sort of pavlovian response where they expect things in return for eating

but you gotta instill that not eating is a bad thing

If you're referring to Old Polish, that arose in the 9th century.

Tru

@Deleted User Oh if we want to count old polish, then we have to account for old english as well, don't we?

i wouldn't go as far as actual abuse, of course, but i think this is one of those things where you have to use the stick

@Deleted User Yeah, and it arose in the 9th century but wasn't considered "distinct" until the 10th.

i didn't mean to start a language history debate, guys

@Deleted User Middle english actually started around 1100, which means that english as we know it, started around that time, if didn't even become popular until the 1300's.

i just wanted to make a joke about the polish language being hard to pronounce

@Deleted User Compared to most other European languages, there is very little difference between Old and Modern Polish.

Which therefore means that middle polish is older than that of middle english.

And? How does that matter in this case? We are talking about the age of the languages.

@Deleted User Yeah, and there's a direct line of succession involved. English on the whole is older than Polish.

is it true stalin killed people who disliked him or didn't like socialism?

@Aidan xD It's exagerrated

i mean, that's a bit of an over simplification

By a lot

@mcstubbs Try the siberian or hawaiian languages if you want a language that is impossible to pronounce.

@NoCountryForAllMen#8084 explain

@Deleted User How about you try a hairy ballsack?

@Deleted User It is hard to say for certain, early english is illegible when conpared to even middle english, probably because it was a mesh of the viking and britan languages.


Edgy.

but he certainly did have people who were vocal about their hatred of the communist state and he had those within the party who were deemed reactionary or revisionist removed

with varying degrees of violence

@Deleted User Here is early english, give it a read.

at least, to my understanding

however, he did give us one great thing.

the idea for a trotsky halloween costume with a fake icepick sticking out of the head

@mcstubbs Pfffft.

@Aidan xD It's bourgeois propaganda created by the imperialist states to discredit the USSR. There is not a shred of evidence Stalin committed genocide. Usually this charge is made against the Holodomor, of which not even bourgeois historians are in agreement that it was genocide.

absolute m a d m a n

@mcstubbs The fucking erix andre show.

@Deleted User Middle English coincided with Norman rule. Naturally, the vocabulary fell under heavy influence by Norman French. However, the everyday commoner vocabulary was still primarily Germanic, and still possessed distinct characteristics inherited from Old Norse. Also, Old English is still English.

thx @NoCountryForAllMen#8084

if anybody i know would get that joke, i would go as trotsky.
