Ah, yes, it can have that meaning in Spain too, but not so common. It's all about context, indeed.

"Water drains in opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres".

No, it doesn't.

Funny twist: in Spain, "chorizo" is slang for thief, so that would be actually saying "I'm a thief".

Yeah, the key seems to be in the comments from one of the changes: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/commit/0581cd661021752e5063e338c718f211c8929310#diff-bcc2125e56d5738b4778802ac650ca47719845aeee582f3b5c9b46af82ea9979R1176-R1180

It seems there was the potential risk that insufficient validation could allow reading arbitrary server files, which indeed poses a security risk.

However, my understanding is that this could be exploited only by authenticated users with permission to add new media. Not like that's a risk to ignore, but it's not like it could be exploited by anyone on the Internet.

Indeed, you can choose anything you want as the destination language.

A screenshot that shows that the same "I got a new job" that was used in Kagi's example of translation to LinkedIn speak is now used to translate it to Slavoj Žižek speak, offering a long and rambling speech in a Žižek way and offering options to adjust the theoretical focus or the level of Žižekian intensity.

They did something different in Scrubs for Carla, who is originally Dominican and there are multiple references in the show about other people not understanding her when she speaks Spanish. For the Spanish dubbing, they say she is Italian and speaks Italian, which is weird because there are many references to her Hispanic origins in the show. At least that's how they handled it in the European Spanish version, I don't know how it is in the American Spanish version. Because, in case you didn't know, TV shows and movies are usually dubbed to Spanish twice: one version for Spain and another one for the American countries that speak Spanish.

I was referring to the image in this post, which is where the absolute numbers I was referring to are mentioned, and there they are comparing the US and England.

Also, it seems they are comparing absolute numbers and not a rate or anything like that while USA population is almost six times that of England. This is complete anecdata.

So, OP's claim that Lenin "legalized homosexuality entirely" in the USSR is wrong because, as @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works pointed out, it remained illegal in some parts of the USSR, such as Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Therefore, it was never entirely legalized across the entire USSR until Stalin banned it entirely again in 1934. During that decade, homosexuality was only legal in the RSFSR and not because of a standalone law advocating for sexual freedom, but because the Tsarist legal codes were abolished (which also included abolishing the Senate, the Tsarist courts and the private property, which were more likely to be the target of this move) without introducing a specific ban in the new legal code.

So it's also misleading to claim that homosexuality was legalized like it was an intentional move towards sexual freedom (which Lenin cared very little about with no public record of him on this topic) instead of just the kind of accidental outcome of abolishing the Tsarist legal codes.

Even if everything else were true, the USSR still wouldn't have been the first country to legalize it in modern history, which was France in 1791.

This is really not a new finding, but just consistent with what was already found by previous studies, but here we go:

The report found that 98 per cent of respondents that had socially and/or medically transitioned had significantly higher levels of happiness and satisfaction.

The researchers found reasons for detransition were due predominantly to transphobia and “challenges related to social acceptance”, such as not being accepted by friends or family for being trans.

“Social and structural explanations dominated the reasons why respondents reported going back to living in their sex assigned at birth at some point,” the report read.

“Only four per cent of people who went back to living in their sex assigned at birth for a while cited that their reason was because they realized that gender transition was not for them. When considering all respondents who had transitioned, this number equates to only 0.36 per cent.”
