My country is going through a civil war right now.

The US is nowhere near close. You'll be fine.

No

I hate that stuff. Also websites that have lots of specific conditions for what a password contains. You're just increasing the likelihood of me forgetting it.

Can't get rid of it if I tried

I've said it before and I'll say it again. As someone from a country currently going through civil war, the US is nowhere near close.

It is high but not annoyingly. Don't let it bother ya

What do you expect? You're on lemmy. Half the userbase is doomers, dude.

The mobile website is god awful. Forcing you to use the app which also sucks.

Look at that beautiful [answered]. I forgot lemmy lets you edit the title of posts. So many embarrassing typos avoided

Nice try, pickpocket

There's a Japanese YouTuber my japanese learning friend would watch called "that Japanese man Yuta" who goes into this

I don't.

I don't care if it's actually real because it feels real enough.

Morally wrong? What does morality have to do with any of this?

This is a matter of conventions. Which way we do it doesn't actually matter that much as long as we all agree on a way. Maybe you think PEMDAS is counterintuitive, maybe others disagree. That doesn't make it morally wrong.

Yeah it's pretty incredible. Wikimedia is the kind of project that almost feels like a small glimpse into a better world. What the internet could have been. It's got some problems of course but it's still a huge success.

Sudan

Congratulations on finishing this post!

A single shoot for everything like the cloaca sounds terrible though

Some pockets here and there are still fun. It's just hard to find them.

There there. Idk is the best cure for meanness on reddit, kindness on Lemmy?

Probably not because we humans tend to focus on the negative. But nonetheless I hope your day improves.

Too general, aka always wrong

I've not lived there since I was 6. My experience is doomscrolling the news and getting really anxious about getting a new citizenship ASAP.

I have family there and they mostly moved outside the capital where the fighting is. Some are still in the capital. It's hard to contact them. Last I'd heard of my cousin he was eating raw flour to survive. He's a doctor in the military trapped in a place surrounded by fighting.

I mean that's just what this sub is for and that's fine.

It's a shame that the more specific communities aren't bigger so they'd be more active.

What am I missing? Can you explain?

I live in Qatar. Will be moving to Germany soon hopefully.

I don't really feel qualified to say what the media gets wrong about Sudan because like I said I didn't grow up there and I'm not a political scientist. Sudan is not talked about much in the western media and when it is, it's never good news. Usually because another coup or killing, and it's more accurate than most media in the middle east. But if you want an example of western media getting something completely wrong here's Fox News calling Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo a reformist. He's a genocidal warlord with ties to Russian Wagner. I suspect that article is propaganda because he's been known to hire PR firms to clean up his image.

Ok. Enough of the depressing reality. What food are we known for? I don't know actually. We share some of our culture and foods with our much more popular northern neighbor Egypt, but that culture is mostly attributed to them. For example we also have pyramids but not many know that. We also make Falafel, ful, mahshi etc.

We do have many foods that only we make but it's not known to outsiders. Usually Ramadan food: traditional stews eaten with gruels or fermented bread. There's some traditional drinks too.

One of those stews, is a food other Arabs know because of a funny coincidence: part of its name in our dialect means "male whore" in other dialects.

I think he's probably guilty. Maybe 60-40

It's only the raw text in json line files. No media and no markup. I think I downloaded a compressed dump then used wikiextractor to extract the text.

Happy new year :)

Do a lot of reading and listening to material you find interesting. The learning happens in the background.

Yes. I heard of something like that on the podcast "A problem squared". It was a pill invented by some french doctor I think? I'm not sure.

Good point. I guess it is 2 things I'm talking about.

I think battle transitions are a tradeoff. They free combat but at the cost of interrupting flow. If you don't do anything with the freedom they give you and you just make the same tired pokemon style choose from a menu combat it's not worth it.

What?

That's perfectly fine. Don't worry about forgetting words. You will forget them, look them up again, forget them look them up again, eventually they'll stick. Focus on the reading. Don't treat it like a vocabulary lesson. Every day you're here to read, as long as you reach the end you're good, over months you'll realize you learned a lot of vocabs.

At first because the text will be so dense with new words yes it will take a long time to read, that's why I typically only read a short maybe half a page per day. Then gradually increase that as your vocabulary grows over months. The goal should be to encounter say 50-100 new words a day. Notice I said encounter not learn.

Those websites where you look up words are really useful. Make sure they have text to speech and read out loud in the language not in English even if you see the translation in English that's fine.

Also do a lot of listening along with the reading. I usually get myself an audio book and its corresponding text, chop it up into 1 minute and half a page segments, for each segment listen once, then read looking new words up, then listen while reading at the same time a few times, trying to follow a long, looking up any words I forgot, then listen without reading a dozen or so times until I can follow along. Then movd on to the next segment.

If you wanna read research there's scihub. There's also clinicaltrials.gov and retractionwatch.com.

There's Wusoup which claims to be random chat without the sleaze. I've not used it myself.

Every country is different.

I would say at least in the American civil war I know who to root for. In ours we've got a corrupt kleptocratic oppressive government turned military junta vs a genocidal militia headed by a rich and powerful warlord with ties to the Russian Wagner group. And oh by the way the militia was supported and enabled by the former regime as they used it to hold onto power but now it's turned against them. So it's like "pick your poison". I thank my lucky stars I don't live there but I also stopped following the news cause it's horrible.

I agree America has some serious problems but they're just not on the same level as the 3rd world.

I use Eternity and it lets you copy text

I assume the marginal worth of one person's data is nothing. It's when you have lots of people's data that it gets valuable.

Haha I have thought about that too actually. Mainly because my career path and favorite hobby were both decided by small random moments. It's definitely made me more open to new experiences.

You know it just occurred to me that I've never tried deep dish pizza and I don't wanna condemn from ignorance. Gotta try it now
