It doesn't. "Despidió" is already past tense. That said, "despidiose", while valid, is quite archaic. If it was me, I'd say "se despidió demasiado" or even "se despidió de más"

Edit: Reading the meaning of the song, I'd say "dijo adios demasiadas veces", as it stays closer to the original meaning.

"Key Performance Indicator". I believe the implication here is that some people from Huawei are sending useless patches just to pad their performance values and look better inside the company.

No, I'm not in favour of abolishing the police. Let me preface with saying that I'm not American, nor I live in the US, also, so this doesn't affect me.

Once again, I'm not in favour of abolishing the police. As I said in my previous message, I'm in favour of reducing the expense on police and instead investing it on social programs.

As I'm not in favour of abolishing, I won't argue your second point.

By reinvesting the excess of money invested in the police into improving society for people, so that less people need to steal.

You're making a mockery of the talking points about defunding the police, then asking people to actually spend time debating you. Please, reconsider the way you argue about things.

We do that. Takes five seconds, helps everyone feel more included, so it's an easy win.

I see the value on this. As a very, very bad player, but with some knowledge, it´s a game that rewards heavily the ability to strategize, optimize builds for different, very quick situations, and shows dedication.

Unfortunately, I agree that it´s a poor thing to say in a presentation, as it requires people to actually know the game to understand why that would be good. People who don´t play might just think "what do I care that he's good at a game?"

I never understood why most programming languages where so heavy in brackets until I moved to the UK and saw the layout. Then it clicked.

I agree that it doesn't delegitimize your insistence upon personal privacy, and in fact, I'm in your camp with that, privacy is vital. My issue with the term is that, when you think in historical terms about discrimination, it's people being forced out of places/positions/society because of who they are.

The difference, in this case is that you're not being forced out of participating in conversations because you're, let's say, black. Instead, you, on your own, are opting out of communication channels because of your own beliefs.

But that's the thing: You CAN agree to the TOS, you just choose to not, unless I'm severely misunderstanding your situation and you're in real, physical danger if you create a Discord account. For the sake of a better argument, can you clarify if you're in danger, or physically unable to create an account, or if it's a privacy choice, please?

Sorry, but no, you don't get to play a discrimination card here, because if we do, we're almost mocking people who are under real discrimination.

You don't agree with Discord's practices and lack of privacy, something which, by the way, I agree with you, and as such, decide not to use it. They are not discriminating against you, you're the one deciding not to use their service. To me, it sounds the same as if you don't like McDonalds because it's unhealthy, then accuse them of discriminating against you because they won't serve you some lean chicken salad.

I just finished your game, and it was really, really good! I love trippy, timey-wimey experiences!

"Pete" seems to work as slang, and it kinda makes sense to me reading the UD explanation, I was just confused by the Chrono part in the original comment.

I'm a Spanish speaker and that does not make much sense to me, but it might mean something in the latin american variants, I guess.

I've been testing Svelte for a project, and it seems to generate good source maps. In the Firefox Dev Tools, you can just breakpoint on .Svelte files with no issues.
