Linguistics owns please continue.

Discuss: Lust in German means interest/desire. How does its connotation and denotation differ/have similarities with regards to the English usages?

I love this thread, but am too dumb to understand most of the linguistics jokes, but please continue. They seem fun :)

Side note from a few pages back: I take it as a matter of pride that I have never seen or heard or whatever "baby shark" so whenever someone posts that doo doo doo thing and everyone gets upset? I can laugh because I have no context for it, and no, I refuse to learn.

Chik-fil-a funds some Christian group that sent representatives to basically write Uganda's new bill that essentially legalizes killing homosexuals.

Snopes has a detailed breakdown on it. It's one of those things that's true in broad strokes but not in the details:

* Uganda criminalizes homosexuality but a bill to make it a capital crime failed years ago. The minister pushing it claimed they were reviving the bill, but the government officially denied it.

* The National Christian Foundation funds anti-LGBT projects in Uganda, but there's no direct link between them and the "gays will be punished with death" bill.

* The WinShape Foundation, the charitable organization founded by Truett and Jeannette Cathy (the Chick-Fil-A founder and his wife), has funded the NCF.

Is that like "X funded anti-Jewish projects in Germany, but there was no direct link between them and the Holocaust"?

Yeah it's just a coincidence that Prescott Bush gave American intel and weaponry to the nazis and then a huge pile of money showed up at his house.

Definitions are descriptive, not proscriptive, and the meaning of words is fluid, so if you say something and everyone (except pedants, but nobody cares what they think) understands what you meant then you have used it correctly.

Argue that, nerd.

It’s more that there’s no evidence that the bill is actually being written into law in the first place, so “Chick-fil-a is funding a bill to legalize murdering gay people” isn’t necessarily a true statement but “Chick-fil-a funds an organization that fights to oppress LGBT people” is definitely true.

I'll take that as a "yes".
