A lot of the post come from lemmygrad and hexbears posters, which are blocked by many instances, thus not visible to everyone. As a kbin user, I see them frequently.

My b. My autocorrect is absolutely worthless.

Denying atrocities isn't the big anti-capitalist sell you think it is.

Oh so we're applying the founding fathers owning slaves justification to queer persecution? Guess it's okay when everyone else is doing it.

Then again nevermind. I'm used to having our history downplayed by conservatives and reactionaries, including the ones that cosplay in red.

DINOs out

Stalin:"Watch me end this man's credibility"

Reminder to all my queer friends that homosexuality was criminalized under Stalin's regime, and was not repealed until the Soviet Union collapsed.

What Fantasy Football should be

Rich and varied nuggies?

Not everything has to be chicken nuggies and potatoes.

As someone who reads Japanese, reading all kana can be slow because you are reading one syllable at a time. It makes going back to old video games and reading children's media tedious.

Once you know enough kanji though, you can read incredibly fast. Depending on the material, I can speedread faster in Japanese than I can in English.

This is because kanji is meant to be recognized at a glance rather than read in your head. The kana in Japanese sentence is supposed to provide grammatical context. So instead of reading "Inu ga ie ni nemashita" in my head, I'm seeing "Dog, in house, slept" from a glance.

So the downside to this system is that you're spending most of your education learning every character you'll need, but the upside is it can make reading very efficient once you have got it down. I think it's part of the reason Japan still has a pretty robust book culture.

I prefer having a physical game collection, but with the way physical games are handled now, with more than half the game needing to be downloaded to the console to cut costs or because they didn't finish the game before release, it doesn't solve the preservation or ownership problems anymore.

Long distance walking. I usually pick a direction, put on a podcast or some music, and just vibe as I walk and listen.

I do it because it's not overly complicated, allows me to relax and enjoy something to listen to as I walk, gets me out of the house and maybe towards another activity I'd like to do, and it helps me sleep better at night.

On a light day, I might do it for 30 minutes. I might go for 2 hours if I'm in good condition. I think my record was over 5 hours.

Yes

Works for me. I don't negotiate with terrorists.

So that's where we get TV "southern" from...

Why does this seem to only be about Instagram?

Meanwhile in Japanese, you get to gender YOURSELF!

It still was a scary situation to me, and reminded me a lot of the Jan 6 insurrection. It wasn't just Ottawa either that was terrorized though. There were smaller convoys that terrorized towns in Alberta, and there were several border crossings that were blocked by truckers.

Canada may be a more tolerant place than America, but it still faces a lot of the same vulnerabilities that we face here from being overtaken by a militant minority.
