I’d like to see stats on that, because there are equally many 2nd language speakers in English speaking spaces as well. Not to mention the brits, irish, aussies, kiwis, canadians, etc, and that’s before we get into this list of places with a non majority first language population, like many countries in Africa.
I think the percentage of Americans on the internet will be higher, but still not a majority
Huh. My phone always tries to correct MAGA to MEGA… at least now it’ll make sense… Now I just need someone to make one for MEGAN
Make Europe Great Again, Ned!
What I wouldn’t give to be able to use that last line in a professional setting sometimes.
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world has a distinctive profile picture, and I see them everywhere. Also I suspect I know @Dave@lemmy.nz IRL, but I’m not certain.
Lol, I’m not sure I’d describe it as anime, but I understand what you mean. Personally I quite like the aesthetic of it. It makes them feel just the right amount of fake to me that I won’t feel bad deleting the pool ladder. I can totally see how it would bug you though. Hopefully it’ll be easy to mod out, or at least turn down.
I still have hope for Paralives
Have a look at Paralives
So what I’m hearing is: Fauci DIDN’T shoot a puppy in a gravel pit for essentially getting too excited…
what a monster /s
Recently found out about https://elan.school/ which ended up being run by ex “students.” It’s not the same thing, but there are parallels. Conversion therapy is essentially brainwashing at it’s core, and I find it fascinating (in a horrifying, train crash, can’t look away, kind of way) that in both cases, ex members become involved in perpetuating the horror.
eta: I agree it does not absolve them
Who’s trying to make friends? Burn them at the fucking stake, I say!
I’d say it’s because Apple’s implementation isn’t essentially spyware at it’s core. The Microsoft implementation was straight up deranged and dangerous, frankly.
Cool! I’ll get started on building Snowpiercer then
oh god, I’m going to hell.
This is awful and I feel for the guy and his family…
but I can’t help but laugh at “Wactor the actor”
Hey, don’t beat yourself up about it. Who hasn’t accidentally bombed a camp of displaced peoples? The important thing is to apologize and try not to get caught bomb the next one.
Now we’re scraping the bottom Quark of the barrel?
(Come on, someone do better than this please, this was terrible!)
Is this so you can yell “DOWN QUARK” when he jumps up on the sofa?
“Winamp, it really whips the llama’s ass”
I did this once.
I’m about 8 years older than my brother. So when he was about 6, and I was about 14, I had this habit of holding him around the back of his neck. Kinda thumb on one side, rest of the hand on his shoulder on the other side, never hard, or choking him, but it gave me good leverage to make sure he didn’t get lost and/or into mischief, particularly when we were in a shop or something.
So anyway, we’re in this shop, and we’re looking around, and I hear my mom yell out “Kraiden, get your brother, we’re leaving.” So I grab my brother, and start leading him to the exit… except he isn’t coming… so I pull a bit harder and say “<Brother> come on, mom says we’re leaving.” Still nothing, so I tug a little harder “<Brother> Let’s go! Mom’s gonna get angry!” Nothing! So I look down.
NOT MY BROTHER!!! Some kid, on his tippie toes, with my hand around his neck, absolutely REFUSING to take a step, probably out of sheer terror! Whoops! Did not feel good. DID NOT LOOK GOOD!!!
Apologized profusely and left as quickly as I could! They still give me shit about it years later.
have you seen what people can do with makeup? The prince didn’t stand a chance!
