Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.
Fairy folk - in traditional mythology, fairies and the like aren’t sweet little pixies, they’re very alien fellows who abide by strict-but-seemingly-arbitrary rules. To differentiate them from modern conceptions, the older term ‘fae’ is often used for traditional fairies.
The power of words and contracts are common themes with the fae, and often in mythology knowing their ‘true name’ gives power over them, so they’re reluctant to give away that information.

Too bad
It’s been chosen to fuck around and find out on behalf of our entire society
The innocent, the guilty, doesn’t matter. We’re all going to find out.
I hope everyone involved in bringing this down on us is happy with themselves. I’m sure most of them will be fine, of course.
Decimals are the devil’s work.
I’m not sure it works on me. Not because I’m some super human resistant to advertising (I’m not) but because I’m so bad at math that when they start asking me about anything involving small change I tune out and overestimate by 50% rounded into nice whole numbers.
“This is 19.99”
“Okay so it’s basically 30$.”
It gives me nice surprises sometimes when I get my receipt.
“What the fuck” with a disgusted look is my go to.
Why then do countries with existing left parties and proportional representation elect further and further right-wing parties in Europe?
Obviously they haven’t gone far left enough. /s
Some people want easy solutions. Not unlike Trump voters.
I might advise not downing an entire pound-and-a-half jar of spaghetti sauce in one go.

You must have good lube, or bad chafing.
I can’t even understand your foreign measurements, are they even in English? Weigh things in Cheeseburgers With The Cheese Pried Off So There’s A Little Cheese Left like normal human beings smh
Yeah, there’s definitely no explosive growth currently. Might be that some communities here are getting more ‘solid’, though, and feel more active.
The link should take you to the Lemmy page.
Some ~30% net MAU growth since December of last year is nothing to sniff at.
i.e., the Reddit drama may have caused people to come check us out, but then the largest majority of people left, likely going right back to Reddit. Possibly bc of the deep (niche) content stores that they still have - e.g. if everyone else uses Windows, it’s just easier for you to use it too, and it takes a special mindset to buck that trend.:-)
Most people who left from Reddit after The Great Exodus did so in the first 3-4 months, though.
In fairness, there’s still total net growth of some 6000 MAU since February
Oh yeah!? Well I’M thinking of how MESSED UP it is to think about how other people are thinking about other people’s rates of masturbation in November!
That’s like voyeur voyeurism. SICK behavior. TWISTED
Me with computers that have operating hours comparable to the number of hours it’s been since I got them:
There’s a coal train still in use in my hometown. It’s a tourist thing, but still.
Explanation: Ancient Roman predecessors to modern pizza used pomegranate, amongst other fruits. Of course, such proto-‘pizzas’ lacked tomatoes (as tomatoes come from the Americas) and probably lacked mozzarella (as mozzarella is first mentioned during the Renaissance).
Me, an intermittently suicidal person, when holding a big knife: “No one is around - cut through the air like a sword so it makes that neat ‘wooshing’ sound”
There are legitimate strategic concerns with sourcing things long-term from potentially hostile states.
Europe should absolutely take advantage of current Chinese production to improve their own green energy efforts, but looking into local production in addition is not just a ‘for-show’ move. As sanctions on Russia show, dependence on markets that can potentially turn hostile can be very damaging.
