Such Small Hands - La Dispute

I think I saw you in my sleep, DARLING

Isn’t oligarchy a loan word from the French language? Or like, if not a loan word I’m sure it at least has French etymology

Seconded. This makes Marcos look entirely reasonable to other world governments who might offer aid and possibly even to the people of China, if not the government. It’s also important to acknowledge that Grey zone tactics are no longer a new thing the civilized world doesn’t know how to call out and respond to; the fact that he publicly listed his grievances and what is being done in the south China sea and connected those actions to the disputed missiles is powerful.

What fucking ass for brains engineer wrote this dogshit code!!! I’m gonna scroll back to the header find out who wrote and give a piece of my mind to… myself x.x

I used to live near a Sam’s club, and I now live near a costco. When I got here I avoided costco because I assumed it would be comparable to Sams (ie extremely low quality products). Last month my roommate bought a membership and now we’ve been three weekends in a row as well and I am seeing the error in my ways.

They actually have a special measuring device called a pom-pom-mollynocker to see how far your monocle pops out when they spring the surprise question on you. I reccomend starting a workout regimen of eyelid crunches and cheek-ups today if you really want to send that baby flying and impress them

Powder by Jeff lait. I think you can get it at a website called zincland or something?

It’s an old school roguelike that absolutely slaps, though its gotten significantly harder to play since the wiki stopped being hosted

I get around this by setting my passwords to something easy to type like *******

Completely unrelated, does anybody know why my bank balance always goes back to 0 immediately after my paystubs are deposited?

I can certainly see it being a struggle for non native English speakers or English speakers from other cultures. Referring to women as females is one of those things thats accurate according to the language, but a lot of bigots have figured out that they can use common words as slurs and people are slower to catch on. Female is unfortunately one of those words; it evokes big “I see you as livestock” energy

It’s basically chaff, lol. We’ve known chaff is an effective radar countermeasure since the 40s, and it seems like the researchers have found the lidar and optical equivalents of chaff. What really scares me is the idea of this evolving into more sophisticated deception attacks like range or velocity gate pulls. No idea how you’d do that with lidar or optically, but I’d bet money that’s a line item on a black budget somewhere

Regularly. I probably don’t post more than 10-15% of the comments I type out

Assuming you’re asking in good faith:

“Retard” used to be a largely medical term used to refer to mentally disabled people. It’s common usage in the past 10 years or so has been “bad, stupid, less than, etc”. By using the term that way, you’re passively connecting disabled people to that concept of “bad, stupid, less than, etc”. I think it’s also considered a slur lately

Raisins in particular have a mouthfeel like bugs for me. Fresh grapes are mid but nice when it’s hot out. I like dried versions of most fruits I like the fresh version of

It’s been like 8 years, but a chromebook dual booted with debian+xfce got me through undergrad. There’s a set of scripts out there called “crouton” that made it really easy to do

I admittedly didn’t look too hard for that 121bil figure, your source seems much better than the “Google it and grab the first number I see” approach I used. I see 91.36B gross profit for 2022 in your source. That makes the 36,500,000 fine ~0.04% of their profits instead or the 0.03% I got at first, equivalent to a $20 fine on 50k profit. I think the rest of what I said is still valid with the new numbers. Thanks for keeping me honest!

100k/day (36.5 million anually) is ~0.03% of Meta’s 2022 profits (121 billion). That’s not a fine, it’s barely even a tax. If you make 50k/year profit and the government gave you a similar fine, they’d be taking $15 from you. That sounds more like bribe money for Norwegian politicians than a good faith attempt to protect their citizens.
