People will pay a lot for just the land, even if there’s shit on it that needs to get removed.

I was about to correct you, but then thought, no, I wouldn’t put it past the US to invade the Arctic when oil is discovered in the Antarctic.

Because every step of the way, they need a flock of MBAs to figure out the answer to the question “How do we make money off of this?”

French language be like:

What? I thought astronauts already had ice cream. Do you mean to tell me that all those museum gift shops would just lie like that?

Cement is porous, those microplastics will get in eventually.

I’d look at it this way: a lot of people on Lemmy came from Reddit, but people’s reasons for leaving are different.

Some left Reddit for what it was, but still want what it has. Namely, they want the content and community, but they want to access it on their own terms, so they try to recreate it on Lemmy. If Reddit hadn’t fucked with their app access, they’d still be on Reddit.

Others want to actively avoid making Lemmy into Reddit 2.0, seeing it as a failed model, and so they try to prevent the spread of “Reddit-isms” in their instances. It’s a gatekeeping measure to prevent the spread of normies, thereby keeping their communities small, niche, and nerdy.

I’m honestly surprised there are a number of people in here who would push back against the idea of having federated access to Reddit content when this very community is unapologetically a Lemmy analog of Askreddit.

The browser versions of Office are straight ass though. Google Docs is better for a web option, but if you don’t want all your data farmed by Google, I think it’s easier to just install something local and lightweight like LibreOffice. Just convert to .docx (or whatever other Office app you’re working with) and share through OneDrive or Teams if collaboration is needed.

At least it’s not like they’re particularly expensive. And who knows, if they feel embarrassed enough, they might go out of their way ASAP to get their own to save face.

Seems kinda messy to be shooting salt all over your living space, though.

I can only suggest actually looking at the titles you post, then, since most of them get cropped off due to character limit. Seems a bit automated given how frequently I’ve seen it happen to your posts in particular.

DAMMIT I FUCKED UP AGAIN.

Oh, I know the answer this this one! Uhh, mayo!

A self-cleaning litterbox. Absolutely worth it.

I don’t think China blowing up a satellite would be enough casus belli to bring the US into a war. No loss of life would occur.

Going back to World War 2 as an example, where the US similarly provided munitions aid to Britain via lend-lease, Germany sank several US aid ships, killing their American crews, and that wasn’t enough to bring the US into the war in full until the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

It would need to be some sort of event that brings conflict to the US, like Pearl Harbor or 9/11. Americans are too war-averse otherwise to support direct involvement in conflict, preferring proxy wars when they see the need for intervention.

The church is just another avenue of oppression, no surprise it is full of people who can manage to be bigoted about topics their religion does not even actually talk about.

I don’t know if the “reptilian” description applies to all Western media. I think it might just be D&D, as I was always used to seeing dog-like Kobolds in EverQuest and rat-like Kobolds in World of Warcraft.

This sounds like ghaik sympathizing.

Lae’zel disapproves.

Nice try, ad!
