  • way better than you’d expect, or a structurally catastrophic mess

    and that’s a 50/50 or

  • this the “or throw an error”

  • for me, switching to dvorak about 10 years ago has made me absolutely useless at typing qwerty… i get used to it after 5min, but much slower than i used to be and wow is it paiiiiiin (both literally in my wrists - the reason i switched, and figuratively in that i feel like im fighting the keyboard for every word)

    … or perhaps you mean the differences in physical layout

  • what does this even teach the kid about statements by authority? that it’s all lies and trust nobody?

  • i take hope from the fact that since the war begun people have been saying ukraine has no chance, and yet here we are with ukraine still existing and independent… i guess when you’re defending your home you can pull some pretty impressive manoeuvres out of nowhere that people hadn’t accounted for

  • and now we collaborate quite nicely! we share fire fighting helicopters and fire fighters often fly over to help each other, since our seasons are offset

    hopefully that remains and isn’t just seen as “giving things away” and used as a bargaining chip in a perverse game of number go up

  • which other one? because i’ve got kanye on my list too and there’s at least a couple more

  • the drawbacks are that they’re made from cotton and plastics, which are all absolutely horrendous for the environment… cotton is among the worst offenders for water use, and polyester etc is bad in clothes let alone chucking an entire wet wipe multiple times per day

  • it’s absolutely wild that the US still allows this… it’s 1 of the first things my friends all comment on when travelling there (australia)

  • also that humans did that is wild

  • and then rinse and repeat for every level because you just don’t trust that mischievous cd

  • - returns you to the previous path rather than repeat the last cd right? so cd - would undo the cd ..

  • don’t even need the cd since if it’s a dir, zsh automatically cd to that path ;)

    just ….. works great

  • tax all wealth above the nth percentile of the populations wealth

  • perhaps to begin with (the distinction is members of or invited by the EBU so broadcast range seems reasonable), but given that australia participates now the criteria seems like it’s changed

  • why are any countries but greece in the olympics?

    because times change and events transform to include more people who enjoy participating

  • the LGBTQ community takes every possible opportunity to make themselves mainstream

    taking money from corps so they can pink wash and then erasing queer culture from our events because they might lose sponsors because it’s “not family friendly” has basically been the story of every queer event

    inviting people that have some name recognition is just an extension of that - they get to pink wash themselves and we get to “appear more centerist”

    i’d say some of our LGBTQ community respect ourselves and what we stand for… some of us honestly just want to fit in - which is fine until that means punching down on those of us who want to be who we are because not all of queer culture is family friendly… some of it is about who we love, some of it is about who we fuck, some of it is about kink and fetish and expressing SEXUALITY; not just romance

    sorry; tangent

  • the news in australia is pretty straight up about it… honestly we get about as much trump news as australian politics, and since they detained an aussie everyone has been very wary. i can only assume the same is true for the rest of the world (i watch some UK news media and it seems similar in tone)

    i think you’re underestimating the mood outside the US… everyone is aware… not everyone is boycotting (because that’s too hard i guess) but very few people are actively making plans to visit. why would you?

    both for self preservation reasons (people are doing this), and for just “fuck you” reasons: never underestimate humanity’s desire to knock the “top dog” down a few pegs especially if it’s for “my tribe” reasons
