I’ve never seen an Australian do the American thing of assuming the person they’re responding to is from their country before. For most of the English speaking world, higher latitudes = further from the equator.

I don’t know how you could make it clearer than just leaving off the last letter.

Don’t be evil 😈

Pacific Northwest for me! Potato bugs forever!

He’s referencing a legitimate talking point about birth control, and in that light his comment made perfect sense. The whole second half of this thread reads like you got whooshed and then double downed after you realized what happened.

Did… did you click the link?

Do you think I should switch my program from Engineering to Machining? I’m only a year in and the fact there are 3 years and >$20,000 left is making me rethink things

Your second example is a perfectly worded admonishment, if the claims are true. Sunlight is the best disinfectant and all that.

Oooh, I wonder if that’s part of what’s confusing the other guy. At this point I just completely filter out the tag when I’m reading a post like this, since very few people intend to incorporate it into the comment.

Wait, are we talking gigaseconds now?

Any chance they’ll become fully interoperable? I mean, besides the standard fediverse account stuff. Ideally, being able to scroll my All feed on piefed and seeing Lemmy posts in there. I just don’t want to go back to a ghost town like the Lemmy of 2 years ago.

Also, thanks for all the posts! You and Picard were the backbone of this place in the bad old days.

EDIT: I just noticed a piefed post in my feed. The future is now!

EDIT EDIT: It was a piefed user, I’m dumb.

That behavior is almost completely dictated by where you live. The safest speed to go while driving is the speed at which the majority of people around you are driving. In my city, that happens to be at least 10 mph above the speed limit.

Does this mean I can finally stop going back a page when I nudge my mouse the wrong way??

I remember Freeman’s Mind, but I have no idea who any of the people in those pictures are.

No, don’t do that when it’s something so niche, it’s cringe and disrespectful. Most people probably assume it’s a typo.

I think you’re forgetting that night time is cool and day time is for losers.

Uh, I’ve never actually seen the show, but I’m pretty sure Fox Mulder is the guy and something Scully is the lady.

I don’t think that’s what they’re saying. There are countless pieces of Nazi propaganda that were taken as fact at some point in the intervening 80 years. Famously, the number of people killed in the Dresden bombing was hugely inflated by the Nazis to smear the Allies, and those numbers were accepted for a very long time.

You are on desktop. You have so many ways to deal with that problem it’s not even funny.
