There’s a reason that pretty much every complex society moved away from it: it doesn’t scale. It works fine enough for a small tribe that produces basic things like food and clothing. It doesn’t work for an industrialized society of millions of people where production of things like electronics requires hundreds of different resources and production steps.
Subtitled, unless I watch it with family members who all prefer dubbed. I actually rewatched Frieren recently, this time with the German dub, and was surprised at how good it is (even if the German character/place names become even weirder in that version).
I think this is pretty key. If the topic ever does come up and OP will use that line, it might not go over so well. Showing disinterest in politics may be a good survival tactic in Russia, but in the West many people will understand it as not wanting to publicly admit your support of Putin.
When has that ever protected immigrants from attack/scrutiny?
A few times, I’d argue. Citizenship does come with protections you don’t have as an immigrant, like the state not being able to deport you or decide not to renew your visa.
You can currently get a Lenovo Legion Go S Z2G 512GB for 570€. Slightly more powerful, with a higher resolution VRR screen and official SteamOS support for 200€ less . No touchpads or OLED, but still. It looks like Valve has a disadvantage in sourcing components compared to larger hardware manufacturers.
Still don’t think they’d give up their hardware though.
Metal, no straw, 0.75L, vertical and made in Europe. My current water bottle already has these properties, but its cap is a critical weakness, as it tends to spray some drops of water everywhere when you open it. So I’d like one with a better designed cap.
Furries have actually been around for longer than the internet.
Identifying as a non-human animal is not really a furry thing. That would be a “Therian”, which can overlap with being a furry, but doesn’t have to.
Ultimately, I’d say whether someone is a furry or not comes down to the personal choice if you want to be identified as such.
It’s good, especially from the 2nd book onwards. Takes place in quite a unique fantasy world that’s based on bronze-age tribes rather than the usual pseudo-medieval society you get in fantasy.
I’ll check them out!
I haven’t read them yet, only seen the covers. I’m currently reading a book series with similar themes of people shifting into animals though, “Echoes of the Fall” by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
This is not the correct place to post that. It’s not a question and most people on this instance don’t speak Swedish.
I’ve liked Anthro characters since I was a child. Grew up watching cartoons like Redwall, Rescue Rangers, Ducktales etc. First stumbled upon some furry art as a teenager while “exploring the internet”, as one does. And I guess from that point it was obvious to me that I’m a furry. It’s definitely not exclusively a kink for me though, but a general interest. I just enjoy seeing those characters in pretty much any context. Throw some anthro characters in a video game and I’m at least twice as likely to buy it than if it were regular humans. It’s also a generally friendly and open-minded community to interact with.
Is that really the point in that moment though? They didn’t invite you so you could teach them how to cook, but to spend time with you and have friendly conversations. Saying that would really only serve to ruin the day for them, and possibly for yourself as well depending on how they’ll react.
As for the location, since after the collapse, hungry crowds will rob villages and farms that they can reach or know about, I will have to build a house from scratch somewhere a hundred kilometers from cities and civilization
I actually think places like villages are your best bet. An organized rural community of a few hundred people will be much better off than a single person or household living alone in the wilderness. You can share the work required and you’ll have a safety net in case anything goes wrong, like if you’ve been injured for example. You can also organize defence by putting up guards etc.
If I had a nickel every time a new user comes to asklemmy assuming it’s some kind of generative AI support forum… I’d probably have at least 10 nickels from those that I’ve seen? Which is honestly very strange. Do LLMs recommend Lemmy for that or something?
Anyway, it says it right there. Can’t declare the same variable twice, so delete or rename one of them.
Unless there’s a concrete reason to do that, I don’t see why they would. Python isn’t outdated, it’s actively supported and one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. It has arguably never been more relevant than it is now, due to its use in ML development. Just because it’s technically older doesn’t mean that it’s worse. That’s just not how programming languages work.
For probably >50% of artists I listen to, I never could have discovered them in record stores, either because they never had widely available physical releases at all, or only in their home countries. And my friends have pretty different musical tastes from myself.
Recently went through my parents’ old vinyl record collection though, after fixing up their record player from the 70s. There’s definitely something special about discovering music through physical media, looking at the album art, reading the booklets etc.
There’s definitely truth to that and I’m currently building up a local library of music to put on my dedicated music player.
On the other hand, I do like the ease of discovery with streaming. I didn’t listen to a lot of music in the pre-streaming days, because the only easy way to discover artists was by listening to the radio, which was mostly music I didn’t love. I have to admit that I only found much of the music I now like thanks to streaming.
I’ve always found it fun how in Germanic (and Romance) languages, we still honor the old gods when it comes to the days of the week. Like wednesday being “Wodan’s/Odin’s day” and thursday being “Thor’s day”. I wonder how many devout christians realize this.
I also think the etymology of the German word “Buchstaben” (letter, as in a,b,c) is pretty interesting. It literally means “beech rod” and goes back all the way to Germanic tribespeople carving runes into rods made from beechwood.
Seems like a major hassle for the builder to have to lug home 50 sacks of grain, which they’ll then have to try and barter for something else. If only we had an abstract representation of value that’s portable and universally accepted…
