You can use the wayback machine to see how Reddit was at any point in the past. I was there from even before subreddits were a thing, and yeah it was pretty great. The fediverse does have a bit of that feel.

Such an idiotic move. If a kid already had a gun in their possession but they weren't yet sure if they should actually do any killing, having a cop come toward them with a weapon-sniffing dog that will get them in huge trouble will almost definitely cause them to panic and actually start shooting.

I'm on a very old OS version so i don't know what happened to it, but you can add any shortcut you want to any command you can find in the menu bar, for any app. Go to system preferences and in (iirc) accessibility somewhere in there is a place where you can add your own customized key commands.

It's not stupid. The country they're selling oil to is going to be using oil regardless of who sells it to them. And now Norway has reduced their own fossil fuel usage.

(Unless enough of the world as a group chooses to not sell oil, which makes oil become too expensive for that other country to buy.)

He couldn't have looked any more evil and criminal if he tried!

NO! This is terrible science reporting! The study doesn't say it MAKES you sad, the report said it's ASSOCIATED with being sad. There was NO causation in this study. It could just as easily be that sadness leads to eating processed food, which seems at least as likely as the other way around. And it could equally as likely be that some 3rd factor is what's causing both the junk food eating and the sadness.

OP if you care at all about being honest and not spreading misinformation then you should delete your blog post and this lemmy post.

Seems like it adds almost as many confusing things as it takes away. Maybe with some work it might potentially be helpful, but as it stands now I don't think this'll help most people understand the fediverse. IMO

Due to evolution, people will generally prefer to eat more calorically dense foods like meat, fat, and sugar whenever it's an option. In the west people could afford more meat, fat, and sugar, while people in the USSR could only afford a smaller amount of that, so they had no choice but to consume cheaper food like grain and eggs.

The difference in their diets wasn't intentional, it was merely the result of westerners having more ability to acquire what they wanted, while soviets were stuck with what they could get.

Additionally, every part of the world has different regional cuisines that are based on what ingredients were historically available and cultural norms. So even if you compare the diets of two societies that are otherwise equal in most ways (like UK vs. US) there will always be significant differences in what they eat.

Nothing about the aims of socialism can be inferred from this report.

Fyi there are apps and online tools just for removing metadata. Also many sites (but not all) automatically remove metadata from uploaded images. For example imgur does that. But if your way works and is no hassle then keep on keepin on.

Are height marks on the wall just a tv myth as well? Fucking tv, why do they bullshit so much.

it’s just how it’s always been, same with all the other grammar constructs like stemming, prepositions

Yup, and that's why when it's reasonable i try to cut down on those vestigial parts. For example US english uses the word "the" way more than UK english, so as an american I try to omit "the" whenever it wouldn't sound totally wacky. For example British people say "he's in hospital" but americans say "he's in the hospital". UK people say "in future", while Americans say "in the future". In these cases "the" adds nothing to the sentence.

What i wanna know is why they didn't charge by character rather than word?

You can squish words into a single clump and still have the individual words easily discernable. So what stopped people from simply removing all the blank spaces from a sentence and calling it a single word?

If there was a maximum character count for what is considered a single word then you could still clump a few real words together into a single squished-together fake word, which would still save thousands of dollars.

Or did the words have to be actual words found in the dictionary? If that was the case then were people not able to use words that weren't in the dictionary, like a company's invented codename for a project they were working on?

Oh if you're talking about being the same income level at different time periods then it's almost always better to be in the newer era.

In many ways yes, in many ways no. It's hard to say where the balance lies, whether it's better to be rich in the far past, or average income in the present. In terms of subjectively feeling happy I think it's probably better to be rich in the past.

Yes in the states. Maybe not your particular state, but in many of them. In the new york public library systems you can take out audiobooks directly from your phone right through the internet.

Does your local public library offer audiobook downloads? In some places they do. If not then maybe you can see if you can get a library membership at a different library system that does offer them.

What's the specific meaning of the insult? Maybe we can think of a good English equivalent.

That first one seems like it translates to klutz

IMO it's not a big deal as long as you know to expect it. If you know about it then you won't be fighting crazy hard against it and thinking that something is wrong with you that you can't make yourself fully awake. If you know about it before it happens then you know to not fight it, just relax and wait for the drugs to wear out of your system. They really should tell patients to expect the grogginess right before they're put under.

I don't think fast charging is underrated generally. There's been lots said about how great it is. Also it's important to note that fast charging will reduce your battery life more than slow charging, so you should slow charge it whenever you don't need it charged quickly.
