I always take off my watch when I'm fucking. Feels weird with the algorithm watching.

Add Tibet, Xianchang, Manchuria, as separate countries and switch Inner Mongolia to being part of Mongolia and now we're getting somewhere.
Yeah, I worked there back in the day. Started when we were still owned by Vivendi. Quit after about a year of ownership by Activision. Fuck Kotick. Seriously.
Pictured: the moment Bob decided it was time to form a fucking union.
Yes, it seems that way because your kitchen scale is faulty and measuring everything a bit on the light side.
They're both. The term vegetable can mean either a part of a plant that people eat, or in a culinary sense it can refer to savory plant based foods that excludes things like grains, legumes, nuts, etc. In either case tomatoes, being both an edible part of a plant and savory gets to be a vegetable.
On a different level, botanically, not only is it a fruit, but it is a true berry.
So yeah, it can be, and is both things depending on the how you're looking at it.
Little guy is driving his Limburghini.
The only thing I'm confused by is that you thought this would confuse us...
As someone who has paid off my own students loans I gotta say I fully disagree. The system we have for paying for college is super predatory and creates incentives for all kinds of shitty, but still legal, behavior by colleges, loan companies, etc. School shouldn't cost so damn much in the first place, it didn't for our parents, it shouldn't have for us, it damn well shouldn't for our kids.
Kraft mac and cheese, all the store brands are superficially similar but taste bland and or have weird textures.
Definitely corrected the mistake, I went much dumber this time around.
Liar. These beans aren't fucking.
Let them fight
Airbnb prices are comparable to similar hotels, maybe even more expensive in the US and Europe. Same thing will happen in Asia once they gain the market share they're looking for, then they'll raise prices.
Only $600 tho?
I was really just comparing to generic. Annie's isn't generic. I still prefer Kraft, but I'd take Annie's over generic too.
Are you not aware of Idaho?
Simply not correct at all. Look up the trans Saharan slave trade. It was absolutely enormous business before the Portuguese sailed down the West Coast of Africa.
Well I mean it's hard to compare. Homemade is clearly on another level. The boxed stuff is a very quick meal to put together out of the box. Homemade takes a while to do properly. I almost see them as like different foods.
Are you me? Seriously though, we're in an almost identical situation. How are people supposed to buy homes under these conditions? Prices are insane, rates are sky high. Our home value on paper went through the roof but we're never gonna see any of the value because we're basically stuck. The only effect the value increase has is that we pay more property tax. I can't imagine the difficulty younger millennials and Gen z are going to have getting a home.
Just remember as you read news, these are inherently biased sources. Basically all of them are. Look at who they are citing to understand how bias might affect the information being relayed to you. For example, if Hamas or Gaza Authorities are saying something, it is probably coming from a pro Hamas perspective, if IDF or Israeli authorities are saying something, probably comes with some bias too. This is true of all news, all the time. The spin is real. Anyone claiming a lack of spin are probably the biggest spinners of bullshit. It sucks that to be well informed you have to be able to be literate not only in the language but also how to read journalism itself. But that's the reality.
There is a key difference here. Social media companies have some liability with what gets shared on the platform. They also have a financial interest in what gets said and how it gets promoted by algorithms. The fact is, these are not public spaces. These are not streets. They're more akin to newspapers, or really the people printing and publishing leaflets. The Internet itself is the street in your analogy.
Are you me? I've been off Reddit like a week now and I've already read two books with the extra time I don't spend doom scrolling.
You could have one day outside of all months. It could be a holiday or something.
You have a profound misunderstanding of the trans Saharan slave trade. Over centuries it resulted in millions of West African slaves being transported into and through the Arab world. This may not even have been the most significant source of slaves out of Africa during the pre-European colonial period. It is highly likely that more slaves came from Central and East Africa via Zanzibar. Millions upon millions of slaves being extracted from Africa before the Portuguese arrived. I'm not saying that what Europe did was even remotely reasonable. Just understand that we didn't invent slavery, we didn't start up slavery in Africa out of nowhere. It doesn't excuse us. But we're not uniquely evil either.
You should never ever in a million years find restaurants serving Kraft mac and cheese in America. That's wrong. It's a cheap food you fix up at home when you're feeling too lazy to cook for real. Most of us like it because we grew up eating it. Real Mac and cheese is so much better.
Oh, it's a total guarantee they won't, ugh.
The meat and potatoes of Chinese imperialism.
You're right, it isn't sufficient to fix the problem but you can't make it right without forgiveness for those stuck eternally with the bullshit loans they were coerced into.
Agree to some extent. I think a better approach would be to explain why it is worth learning rather than claiming it is easy. It isn't terrible to learn but for the average user, yeah, it is a bit arcane especially compared to existing centralized platforms.
For real, browsing all is mostly great. I just block the shit I don't wanna see ever again.
No doubt. Homemade is infinitely superior. Almost a different kind of food. Just comparing it to generic store brands.
A salad is at least one ingredient chopped up and tossed with some kind of dressing. This basically requires at least two ingredients. One chopped solid and one liquid dressing. Could be cucumbers and vinegar. Could be lettuce with ranch dressing. Obviously salads with more ingredients than two or three are probably gonna be better, but I think you could call cucumbers and onions chopped up and tossed with ranch a salad for sure.
And yet, having more representatives fundamentally reduces the power of each as well. Your vote is fundamentally worth less as the population increases. Something you're just gonna have to come to terms with.
Sure. It can know that I am, but that doesn't mean I want it watching.
Good stuff. We just read Cinema Speculation and the first volume of Elric of Melniboné.
I'm not saying it is identical, there are some key differences, and yet social media platforms are much more like a publishing company than they are a town square. Just because they're choosing to publish your tweets/posts for free and you're choosing to create content without pay doesn't mean it's not a better analogy than saying their the equivalent of a public space. They're very clearly not a public space. Using the street analogy, these are storefronts on the street, not the street itself. Again, the Internet itself is the street. Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Mastodon, Lemmy, or whatever social media platform, are not the street or the town square. They are not and should not be considered to be public spaces any more than a mall or a Walmart is.
Lenovo is a Chinese government data gathering operation though.
The world court can do two things. First, arbitrate between two consenting states who agree to abide by the decision. Second, issue advisory rulings which have absolutely no functional authority. America doesn't have to step in. Nation states around the world wouldn't have signed onto a world court that could actually compel them to obey, we all like our sovereignty.
That'll get em back.
