Missing South Sudan. Though tbf the picture looks like it might actually predate it. But what happens if a border changes dramatically?

Same rules as Instagram apply. Don’t compare your life to someone’s highlight reel.

With that said, I’m happy to be a part of what may be the greatest cultural exchange of the generation.

Oh I can just say words too

Generative AI is actually really bad at transcription. It imagines dialogues that never happened. There was some institution, a hospital I think? They said every transcription had at least one major error like that.

But immediately dismissing people’s problems is the Linux way. Linux is perfect, I had no issues with it, so if you have any issues you’re simply wrong!

Not exactly a rebuttal, more of an addendum:

Artists can seek personal fulfillment, which may indirectly contribute something of value for society, or they can directly contribute value to society by creating art for others. If this value is greater than or equal to that which is required to sustain them, then exploitation is not inherently necessary.

We would not be about to store data. Any changes to digital (or analogue) data would be reverted. So even if we all collectively try to ignore the fact that time is repeating and live as normally as possible, we can’t have a society that keeps track of things in anything other than human memory. Advanced accounting, modern engineering, and scientific research would be impossible.

Somebody mentioned that the scenario doesn’t make sense because of time zones. Consider this scenario: Things are only reset locally at midnight. If you pass something across a time zone boundary, it doesn’t get reset until midnight in the new time zone. You could theoretically carry forward information or important objects indefinitely if you swap them before midnight in your time zone and then swap them back before midnight in the holding time zone. Things for which this cannot be done for cannot be preserved from being reset.

Your sinuses being cold contributes to reduced immunity to any airborne pathogens. So why do we tend to get specifically colds (and flu) when it’s cold out? It is likely because we are inside, in enclosed spaces, much longer and more frequently. Colds will spread around schools and workplaces just fine without cool weather.

Wear a mask.

500€ million per year subsidy doesn’t sound worth it for a giant slab of ice, we’ve already got plenty of that.

“Working the forces” is a colloquial way to refer to doing police work. It’s just missing a “the”, calm down.

After 15 and a half years in service, you have to stop blaming the manufacturer.

omg if you can read it who gives a shit, pound sand. Get better at reading bad grammar and understanding what’s being communicated. good for your brain, like learning another language.

in other words, skill issue

inb4 “well the Palestinians deserved it”

In an argument, never use “you”. No accusations. Keep a calm, relaxed tone of voice. Even if they don’t concede, they will eventually apologize and reconsider their position, but it may take a while after the conversation ended.

“I told you you shouldn’t have bought that.”

“I didn’t think that purchase was necessary.”

“You upset me.”

“I was made to feel upset.”

Notice how Western news would have called them Palestinian “prisoners”, not hostages.

Their savage hostage taking, our noble imprisonment.

Honestly i used a left handed desk as a right handed person once and it was fine.

In elementary school, during the final year (age 12 or 13) I had a teacher whose system was during work periods you could leave whenever you wanted, but there was a board at the door to mark your name with a clothes pin.

Going to high school, it went back to having to ask for permission, or give a heads up in later years.

The flag pictured is the Ba’athist flag, it’s been the flag of Syria for 40-ish years.

The flag you describe was the Syrian flag after independence from France, and as of two days ago, is now also the de facto flag of Syria.

Wow that website is awful
