I was actually kinda pissed when I had to switch to a car with a CD player and couldn’t use it anymore.

Eh, Eco described it as appealing to the " frustrated middle class", and honestly I can see it.

I have a feeling abridged series are on average better than the originals.

It was kinda funny when lemmy was just taking in the reddit exodus crowd and people were complaining that their front page was full of German and Polish posts.

^Has not solved the riddle

Organising requires funds, though.

When the competition is “you’re not a real person, also you’re Russian”, even that may be enough.

Pissing on the poor is lemmy’s favourite sport.

“Bent” is an old word for “crooked, fake”. It’s not a photography term, it’s plain English, the guy’s just too much of an asshole to clarify.

…You know how basically all Indoeuropean languages have a word for Canis Lupus that sounds vaguely like “Ulku”? Ulv/Ulf/Wolf/Vlk/Vilks/Vuk/Loup/Lykos? Well, there’s another word, walhaz that started off meaning “Celt”, then “Roman”, then generic “foreigner”, and can be found today in exonyms all over Europe. It didn’t occur to me that Latin wouldn’t have had it, since they were the Vlachs in question.

I mean the Welsh/Waloon/Wallachian/waelsc word for “those people over there” that all the rest of Europe seems to have. It’s not unheard of for neighboring people to call eachother ‘vlach’. I just never noticed Latin doesn’t have it.

…I just realized latin doesn’t have the “w” foreigner word.

Or contamination. Could just be something environmental.

There’s also that both PRC and ROC claim the area. IIRC, Taiwan actually claims three extra dashes.

Festivity Doctrine, if you will.

Or with good enough guides.

Ternary computing is some serious alt-history fodder.

From what I hear, the war spending is still pretty low, all things considered. This could just be another autarky subsidy.
