Just don't fall for those "gamer" chairs. They're designed to look pretty, not to be comfortable.

Tankies support russian or Chinese versions of communism, which really isn't communism at all.

I signed up here a while ago but continued using reddit because Relay still worked. Now it's asking for money and there's no chance in hell I'll give even a cent to spez.

So Palestine is now supported by russia, Syria, Iran, China, all the greatest and most fair countries in the world.

You can have a gun in any county in Europe, you just have to get some training and pass a test first. Also, Hungary isn't all that great right now, with their totalitarian president, pro-russian views and huge brain drain. Looks like Slovakia is moving in the same direction.

Hamas intentionally uses civilian buildings and schools as ammo warehouses. Israel aims for the ammunition and ignores the civilian casualties. Neither side wants to avoid civilian deaths in Gaza.

This is a measurement unit. A bit unconventional, but it's not any worse than using three grains of barley, dry and round, placed end to end lengthwise, or the length of King Henry I's foot.

I could feel that I was going out as I counted. It felt as if I slowly lifted an inch above the operating table and rested on a fluffy white cloud. I could feel them inserting catheter and needles but it didn't hurt even a bit, if anything it tickled. Last sight was the grumpy face of this fridge-sized bald anesthesiologist.

Woke up a second later in Intensive Care unit, surprisingly well rested.

By the way, there was no tube in my mouth. They just put a mask on and it smelled sweet.

Reddit mods worked for free, there's no reason why it would be different here. The tricky part will be picking the competent and fair ones out of all the applicants.

That's how much the US was spending in Afghanistan per day. Every single day. For twenty years.

Her money was pocketed by private insurance companies. Blame them, not a poor country that's under attack. US has way more than enough money to feed and house everyone, even if they quadruple the spending on Ukraine.

He doesn't have money.

Here's a good comparison I've found: let's say you have a company and issue one million shares. You sell just a single one for $1. Now "technically" you own $999,999 worth of shares, even though you actually have one dollar.

His Tesla and SpaceX shares are worth a lot, but they're not cash. If he started selling huge amounts, then the value would drop rapidly.

In my country electric scooters are classified as bicycles, so they must use bicycle lane if one is available. To clarify, E-scooters like this one, not like electric Vespa or something. Their top speed must be limited to 25 km/h.

It's Lemm.ee.

I like that 1 submarine.

I support their decision. If admins are going to be dicks, then so be it. I hope they'll enjoy it.

I have an old miata. Rev it, dump the clutch, floor it, shift gear, shift gear, shift gear, engine screaming, wind blowing in my hair, look at the speedo, I'm doing 40 mph.

My local electronics store has 99.5% isopropyl alcohol, it works great.

A lot of these issues are temporary. Also, this is all happening very fast, it's entirely possible that some other website/service will pop up that'll be a lot better thought out.

Reddit was already well established and functional during the Exodus of Digg, so there wasn't much discussion about where to go. Today we have no solid alternative, so people are trying Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, Squabbles and other websites.

Is this supposed to be a pic? Imgur says "Oops, couldn't find this page". They have banned NSFW pictures too, because advertisers asked for it.

I'm excited to see how people will blame Egypt for this.

"Russian" peacekeeping involves all of that, always did.

They'll all get hacked sooner or later. Ironically, a physical paper notebook might be the safest option right now.

It's revenue, not profit. "X, formerly Twitter" still gets paid by advertisers, even if the amount is much lower than it used to be.

You can download it, without images it's just a couple GB.

There was also a trend where braces were extremely popular, because some teen celeb got them. My dentist friend said that even kids with perfect teeth were asking for braces, because it was the fashion at the time.

The only difference is that the paid one doesn't have ads. I don't know what's going on, but my free version doesn't have ads either.

No London buses?

He doesn't see reddit as a community, he sees it as a way to make money. If he comes out of it with a profit, then that's a win even if reddit itself dies.

Reddit will remain but it'll be just a meme page, I doubt if any of the more specialised, specialist communities will stay. It'll be just another 9gag. I've been on it since 2010, I watched it grow and evolve and it honestly looked very reasonable the whole time, progress was for the better. then spez decided to kill it in a few weeks. Over a decade of progress will be gone.

How did you patch it?

It will be. There are a lot of bugs and issues right now.

That's the joke, yes.

Mulled wine is everywhere during Christmas season in Europe.

Holding the fort, which means defending it. Not holding "down", it's not going to float away.

I used to be the one to initiate meet-ups and parties, like pretty much every weekend with different friends. Then I kind of stopped and they all just disappeared, haven't heard a word from any of them for over a year.

They're all in the same city, still no kids or any other big commitments, but they just never message me.

The autumn has finally started, so it's raining and the sky is grey. Bar season has begun, so it's not too bad.

You can watch videos posted by Hamas themselves. There was a lot of rape and beheading, they're proud of it.

Yes, it's mostly the ones where the trip is very short, like under an hour. Also the ones where the car deck is open.

Soup is wet salad.
