Dark Arc

Nearly everything until the talking heads get involved and turn different perspectives on an issue into polarization on an issue.

I think around 4 will do it. They say your stomach is what, two fists or so large? That seems about right

If the screenshot says it all they don’t want that, they want exciting leftist news

Congratulations, but please don’t invite me to the wedding 🙂

Does it though…?

That’s actually true, the American accent (excluding the southern accent) is the closest thing to the original English accent we know of.

The modern British accent and the Aussie accent that derived from it came to be in either the 19th or 20th century, I forget which.

Unless it’s a musical… and this is why I hate musicals…

I use Kopia to B2, then on a monthly basis I copy the current Kopia repo to an external drive that’s otherwise kept offline in my house.

In what world is a shower more used than a sink?

The fediverse as most people on here would reference that term, isn’t really designed for what you’re looking for.

Matrix effective is what you’re looking for. The only alternative to that would be something like TeamSpeak 6, which is a closed federated chat system (that’s still not really fully baked).

You had me in the first half lol

Eh… Without examples, I don’t know that this is a good warning.

Everyone gets into different technologies at their own pace. Even if it does bite OP in some abstract way because they eventually get to some complex use case, that’s okay; it’s all a learning experience.

PostgreSQL is just better. It’s supports transactions on DDL (things like altering table structure) and enforces unique constraints after transactions complete … so you can actually do a bunch of important stuff (like update your table structure or swap unique values between rows) safely.

It’s the old trope … the perception of the future gets worse for some group and then society fractures into people that are willing to take ownership and do something about it vs people that accept polarized answers that “it’s not their fault, they’ve been treated unfairly, and the other guy caused all their problems.”

Once you have a significant portion of people blaming “the other” society just stops working right and fights with itself. In many cases it’s self imposed, but social media has added fuel to the fire and festered and inflamed old wounds (with the help of foreign governments seeking to do just that).

We have half of society blaming liberals, gays, blacks, the poor, the colleges, and immigrants. Then we have the other half of society blaming conservatives, christians, old white men, the rich, hillbillies, and the uneducated.

Frankly, we all need to take a chill pill and realize most people want to be left alone to do their own thing. Then we need to sit down at the table and look at which politicians are building bridges and which politicians are burning them. Most of us want similar things, we’ve just been conditioned to focus on our differences.

It should be counted but separately

North Korea really is amazing isn’t it?

!If you don’t get it, North Korea allegedly is a wonderful place to live with very high living standards but obviously isn’t. Closed communication countries like China, North Korea, and increasingly Russia’s claims about “how good things are” must be taken with an absolute grain of salt. Unfortunately, this list could even come to include the United States soon given Trump’s desire to silence critics.!<

It’s not just the US that has bland restaurants and/or is afraid of spice.

I’ve been to restaurants in the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Austria, and Bulgaria.

I’m sure there are places that spice things up more and some of the restaurants were really good, but some were also some of the most bland food I’ve had at a restaurant.

It’s the same thing in the US; there are places that won’t put any spice on and there are places that will leave you crying the food is so hot and everything in-between.

Also every “Mexican” food dish I’ve had in Europe has just been bad. Y’all are doing it wrong.

Staunch Obama and Biden supporter here … I’ve read Obama and Kamala’s most recent books…

You do not need to be a Trumpie to get annoyed with the “everything is emshittified”, “fuck capitalism”, etc posts and comments.
