On the Isle of Man they be like “I’ll have half a kilo of XXX”

flamingo_pinyata,

Seeing how some users already interpret is as a dating app … they’re not the only ones

flamingo_pinyata,

tbh, up to 80 years ago Europeans were in constant war as well and nobody else drew their borders
EU had to be created to finally stop French and Germans from killing each other

flamingo_pinyata,

I understand these questions as conversation openers rather than actual questions.
Having one “favorite” anything let alone something as vague as a color, is impossible. And the person asking doesn’t really want a specific answer, they just don’t know what to say so they also follow a scripted questions they’ve heard before.

So I will respond with something like “I listen mostly to Genre A and Genre B. I’ve been to the concert of Band Z recently. What’s the latest concert you’ve been to?”
Or “I try to wear bright colors in the winter, to try and compensate for the gray days and cold nights”

Something related to the opening question but doesn’t have to be a singular answer. More like your general opinion on colors followed by a question so the other person has something to latch onto for their turn in conversation.

flamingo_pinyata,

I used to think the same, but came to think small talk is kind of useful. Even though I’m not good at it.

  • Hey fellow human, I acknowledge your existence and wish to interact with you
  • Thank you fellow human, I also can’t dedicate mental and emotional capacity for a deeper conversation but still wish to interact with you…
flamingo_pinyata,

Not ideal, though. A mixed area would have been better. Acknowledging Occitan is important but it gives the false impression that a majority speaks it. And it goes way too north.

flamingo_pinyata,

Was it an alien truck?

flamingo_pinyata,

If I was in Embraer leadership I’d be scrambling to design a jet in the 737 class right now. It’s just one step up from what they already make. Embraer is already popular with US regional airlines and would be more acceptable in the US market than Comac.

flamingo_pinyata,

The only other pair sharing the same number are Russia and Kazakhstan with 7

flamingo_pinyata,

Big pro for Organic Maps is rendering speed. So smooth and perfect…
Everything else is on the OsmAnd side. It’s loaded with features, everything you may want and more. But rendering lag is so annoying that I’m using Organic by default.

flamingo_pinyata,

¿Cómo cómo como? Como como como.

flamingo_pinyata,

How did they define “internet”?
For example if you asked my grandmother she would have said she never used internet. But we had video calls all the time.

flamingo_pinyata,

I’m also kinda wary of saving cards in the browser. So I created a virtual card with a spending limit for that purpose.

Although there’s more to fear from malware stealing saved passwords. Fraudulent transactions can be reversed, identity theft will do a lot more damage.

flamingo_pinyata,

While most zodiac signs are inspired by real animals, wtf is an “aquarius”?

flamingo_pinyata,

It has 2 general meanings:

  • English synonym for umami
  • Any food that’s not sweet
flamingo_pinyata,

Dorsey created one immensely popular social platform, sold it for a huge sum, let the new owner ruin it and then created the same thing again.

An actual real world case of “have your cake and eat it too”.
Respect where it’s due.

flamingo_pinyata,

That is exactly their goal. They openly state it, and I respect them for that.
Federating with others was never really what they wanted. It’s a semi-private discussion space with strict rules.

Can Taylor Swift help Canada's seal meat industry, senate committee asks (ottawacitizen.com)

Previous government efforts to boost the sale of seal products have also failed, noted Fink. As an example, she pointed to a 2014 plan which recommended the Fisheries and Oceans department try to revive the market for the sale of seal penises.

flamingo_pinyata,

Is the simulation collapsing into a Swift-ularity?

Certainly seems so.
Taylor Swift is the only important person in the world according to the news.

I mean I like her music, but if you asked me a couple of years ago who’s going to be shaking the world in 2024, definitely wouldn’t say Taylor Swift.

flamingo_pinyata,

Any mass expulsion is an attempted genocide (or successful in many cases).
So many people aren’t going to drop everything and leave their homes unless something worse is implied if they choose to stay.

flamingo_pinyata,

In which cases is this actually useful, as opposed to having a centralized database? Blockchain doesn’t provide the enforcement of ownership, which is the real problem.

Autopistas and Autovías are excellent. The question is for how long? Spain has build too many roads (most per capita in Europe) and is running out of money for maintenance. Tolls are getting reintroduced this year to try and cover the cost.

flamingo_pinyata,

I wonder if Jesus can drive on water

flamingo_pinyata,

Don’t know about his linguistic work. As much as I can gather, even if not 100% correct he was hugely influential in linguistics. This is a how (good) science usually works. Someone postulates a theory which tries to explain a thing, and is then proven and/or disproven. If well done it stays important even if disproven.

However his politics? It’s a barely coherent mess with only one basic postulate - “America bad”. Anything that US does is automatically bad. Anything that any enemy of US does is automatically good. Turns out to be correct sometimes but there is no true moral and philosophical underpinning to it. He build his political career on the “even a broken clock is right twice a day” principle.
