I'm not from the US but I would describe myself a a left leaning centrist. The parties I voted for in the last 5 elections where all center left.

If you map the parties based on left/right and progressive/conservative my vote is definitely center left and high progressive.

The US has a political system that sucks, where you only have 2 real options. A system where multiple parties have to form a coalition gives you the voter many options.

It's interesting because this also happens in other languages. In Dutch we only use couple (koppel) for people in a relationship.

If you are talking about other things we use "pair" if you have two. But over time people also started using pair wrong, so someone saying "ik heb een paar knikkers" I have a pair of marbles, can still mean he has 5 marbles.

In practice people usually just say I have two marbles when they mean exactly 2.

To add to this, jealous is for example when you are afraid your partner will dump you for someone else.

Let say the ticket is 100 dollars thats like a millisecond of profit for Google. So what's the point, threaten them with revoking the robot taxi license.

If this would also mean I can drive at the max allowed speed and can't get fines I would actually like this. I don't really feel the need for speed anyway, the maximum allowed speed usually is fine for me. But some countries like France switch a lot between 130 and 110, so most of my speeding tickets are because I didn't see the 110 sign immediately and there is a speed camera.

If this solution let's you go a max speed with zero tickets I would use it.

Is "dokter" even a male word? What's the female version "dokterin","dokteres"?

This is just the lastest thing, it used to be the old IT guys and the ones with a beard, long hair and a metal shirt.
