Counterpoint: A lot of things that are aggressively “of their time” end up as iconic period pieces after some twenty years.

Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Unicorn, but also occasionally gryphon.

This is true everywhere.
I am fully aware
I fear every person from any of those cultures. Those who sleep on hard surfaces are not to be trifled with, for they are stronger than all of us.
Pots, pans, and knowledge of cooking.
Oh, and enough garlic to fucking nuke Transylvania.
See memory foam is cool and all
But my point is that even the simplest pillow consisting of a linen sack with some animal nonsense inside it is still an exponential improvement over not that, or worse, those wooden head-supports that they still use in some eastern cultures.
Also: People use way too few pillows. I use five for the average night.
I’m biased, I just sorta… Like all animals. All of them. So this reply is just my mood for today:
Mammal: Raccoon. The grabby hands, the masks, they’re just cool little guys
Bird: Crows. Clever and playful caw caw boys. Capable of incredible feats of animal intelligence.
Reptile: Tegu. The cats of the lizard world.
Amphibian: Poison dart frogs. Danger bois. Don’t touch. But they look so cool.
Fish: fish are not valid
Crustacean: Coconut crabs! They are big and cool.
Insect: Ants. Eusocial insects are really cool.
Mollusk: those really big snails that look like slime bunnies
Worm: Leeches. They’re cool to look at.
Arachnid: Jumping spider. They are smols.
Consider the humble pillow.
I’ve once read somewhere that the human brain is only REALLY able to include about 100 people at any time in the list of “people one truly cares about”, that we are neurologically unprepared for the level of exposure to other people and their problems that we get nowadays.
But I never bothered checking the veracity of that statement. It might be complete bullshit. A lot of stuff online is. Either way it’s irrelevant because if it IS indeed a problem, then “overexposure to someone else’s problems” is a concept at least as old as the printing press. What the internet adds to the mix is… Well…
… It’s far easier to act like a psychotic jerk to someone that exists as a few paragraphs of glowy text on a slab of silicon and glass. You aren’t forced to look another human being in the eye while you talk about all the horrid shit you wish upon them.
I misunderstood the line that says “O Brasil se soma a uma lista de mais países que reconhecem o Estado Palestino,(…)Reconhecendo também a Organização para a Libertação da Palestina (OLP), desde 1975 como “legítima representante do povo palestino”.” as meaning we’ve recognised the state of Palestine officially since '75
Apparently, according to the govbr site OP linked in reply to me above, stuff is a bit more complicated than that but ye.
The list from english wikipedia says my country (Brazil) only recognised Palestine in 2010
But in portutugese wikipedia it is said we’ve recognised them since 1975.
I don’t know which one is right, so.
Personally I’m cool with that. I don’t think daily exposure to actual fascists is good for one’s head. And I wouldn’t mind .ml getting the axe too (though I’m not gonna be the one pestering my instance admin about that) because Tankies are equally as draining.
I wasn’t even under the illusion that it would be good for me, lol.
Even IF Diet Coke is a sometimes drink for me, that ‘sometimes’ means ‘once every saturday’ – It’ll probably give me diabetes long-term but y’know. Some people ruin their livers with alcohol, some people fuck their lungs with cigs, I’m screwing up my pancreas with diet soda. 🤷
Yeah but Coke isn’t JUST sweeteners (it’s real sugar over here u-u) and water. At least according to the ingredients list, there’s like, the extract of a weird nut (the Cola nut!), you’d think that would have some sugars and ~organic bits~ (proteins? Idk) of its own
Kinda like how juices with “no added sugar” still have some calories, idk
Most likely your instance is defederated from all the nazi-adjacent instances 🤷
Exquisite taste.
Seconding the Zelda rec, Majora’s being my favourite as well, with Minish Cap being a close second. (narrative-wise, that is)
I’ve been gaming on Linux exclusively for 3 years now. So. These are all proton-tested-and-approved. Though a couple (especially the old ones) require a bit of tinkering.
If old games & emulation are on the cards –
Would be among the first to suggest a reddit-defederation pact to be honest.
Kinda like how peeps on Mastodon/Misskey/etc. have their anti-threads pact.
Rats have a lifespan of 2 years, how do you hold a grudge against something that is less durable than a tube of ketchup?
I think climate denial will look pretty funny in hindsight after agriculture has broadly collapsed leading to mass famines, and a bunch of coastal cities are several meters under toxified saltwater.
Like, that thing I just described is the optimistic scenario, where humanity/society survives despite things turning way shittier. It could be much worse.
