yeah, especially with the older generation (who should not legally be allowed to be administrators, if you are old enough that your brain doesn’t work anymore you can’t be trusted with authority) on top of their lack of understanding about the difference.

because the school system is controlled by old people and they don’t know the difference. in my high school we had Spanish teachers that were actually from Mexico and south America and they taught us useful Spanish.

guns are much easier to aim and use. technically a bow is quieter, but guns can be made to be fairly quiet and are generally much less bulky than bows. generally speaking, guns are point and click. bows are dependent on how you hold the bow, how you hold the arrow, and the form with which you release the arrow (letting the bow move the right way and amount is involved). on top of that even the quietest configuration of a gun will have more power per size than a bow because gunpowder is very energy dense and the barrel of a gun is a great way of focusing that energy into a projectile.

the off days are fine, the net result is more what matters.

I’d recommend sweet peppers and dried fruit (i like apricots) as snacks for fiber. still tastes great, is healthy, and will help with ‘regularity’, if needed.

i’d combine fat and protein into one and go to a brazillian steakhouse.

That’s kinda what it expects actually, because for the majority of human evolution we didn’t have guaranteed meals at regular(ish) times like we do now and what we did have would vary wildly in nutritional value. there should be no issues except the… aftermath of certain meals.

regular computers were useless except for basic addition and multiplication for a long time, and now we have the internet. quantum computers, when they are ready, will be capable of doing calculations much faster than it’s even physically possible for normal computers to. just because it isn’t ready yet doesn’t mean it will never be useful. your take is shortsighted and ignorant of how developing new stuff works.

how can a thing that has existed for years be impossible?

in some people it is a racism thing, but generally it’s just a generalisation done either to ask a genuine question about a group or to facilitate a joke. while they may not always be true, these generalisations often are genuinely a thing that a group tends to do more than other groups.

the cultures that were around when abrahamic religions (christianity, judaism, islam, and all offshoots whether considered separate or not) were the patriarchal (men in charge) and misogynystic (prejudice against women). this was adopted into their religion, which in turn influenced the future of their culture and any cultures it took hold in. large islamic and christian states such as the ottoman empire, the (later) roman empire, and the catholic empire i mean church spread this to pretty much all of europe and the middle east. colonialism spread this influence to the americas and part of africa. this large influence, along with trade, also affected religions in places that were not affected as much, such as asia and the parts of africa they didn’t colonise. this resulted in pretty much all of the non-asian world having a abrahamic religion as their biggest one, which caused the various african, pre-catholic european, and pre-colonial american religions to be either eradicated or forgotten. it also prevented the prominent asian religions (which were already well-established at that point, and did the same thing as the previous point to the areas they were in) from spreading much further.

as it’s relevant to the topic, I feel like I should mention that I am a christian. I don’t think anything I said here was biased, but if i missed something important please let me know so i don’t accidentally misrepresent other religions.

mastodon is already the next twitter, bluesky is just a direct copy of it with nothing keeping it from going the same way. mastodon is open source (can’t be corpoed), federated (can talk to other platforms/instances so being on a small one doesn’t hurt anything), and most importantly, uses a protocol that doesn’t make self-hosting impossible due to storage requirements.

when the obvious troll is obvious

I’ve seen some clips, is it worth watching?

at the moment of its creation yes, but the moment either of us experiences anything we will be different. because this will happen instantly (bc I would have to still be alive for a copy to be possible) the answer is no.

@atomicpoet@atomicpoet.org I think mastodon should implement a post-to-community type thing like mbin has for microblog posts. It (and all other fedi. platforms, really) also needs like a tutorial or smth to show how to actually use the federation features of the platform.

@EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone idk about GOG but in my experience any games through steam just work unless they have some shitty anticheat

@ryujin470@fedia.io

@shalafi@lemmy.world I was joking too
