Read about "#efficiency #reserves" today:
https://archive.ph/R3ela
That's definitely my #euphemism of the day.
Imagine someone saying:
"It's a good thing that in our company we have some strategic efficiency reserves that we can tap into to boost productivity in times of need."
It's so nonsensical, I love it.On a side note: German minister for energy Katherina #Reiche is an absolute disgrace. Every day she's in office is (in the best case) a missed chance to drive #renewableenergy and #sustainability . Most days she seems to be more busy undermining the transition to #greenenergy (thus shoving money to her previous employers) than doing anything more sensible (like playing #minesweeper ).

The German Version of keeping people in fear is called "Neue Grundsicherung".
It is based on #bureaucracy & #euphemism
They're calling it "social security", but in reality the human beings will be terrified by this law & make them lost their #grace, #dignity & #home.
In #Germany 2026 we also lost our #Democracy❗
There is no longer Safeness for all people in Germany if this law will become reality ❗

@ginaintheburg @thejfreakinc It is my opinion that it is not illegal arrest but abduction.
And it is my opinion that you are whitewashing, bagatelizing and euphemizing their behaviour by calling it "illegally arresting" and "detained" instead of "abducting", and helping the perpetrators, siding with them and standing on their side and betraying the victim by doing so.
Would you say that a rapist abductor murderer "illegally arrested" and "detained" a woman or would you say that he "abducted" her?

I analyse language policing demanded in a video that crossed my feed.🧐

This woman calls out corporate media for soft-pedalling charges against alleged culprits and victims, or as she insists, rapists and children. Her request is not neutral.

I can see that.
Not sure I'm meant to see that but I can anyway.
It's a bit more subtle than, "Baby can I park my red hot rocket in your love garage" a la Surrey Hills 1985 but still blatant.

A quotation from George Carlin
The fanatics have another name for fetuses. They call them the pre-born. Now we’re getting creative. If you accept pre-born, I think you would have to say that, at the moment of birth, we go instantly from being pre-born to being pre-dead. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Technically, we’re all pre-dead.
George Carlin (1937-2008) American comedian
Book (2004), When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?, “Euphemisms: Political-Interest Groups,” “A Bunny in the Oven?”More about this quote: wist.info/carlin-george/80339/
