They’ve certainly “taken back control” from those pesky EU privacy regulations.

I find this hard to believe. They even stopped serving the actual heinz ketchup.

How could it be lower milk content? Cheese is 99.9% milk by definition, especially actual cheese (not sure what’s in this Kraft stuff). The only additive is supposed to be the starter culture.

Just eat real cheese, not this processed crap that’s so gunky it sticks together. Double win!

How much do you weigh? As much as 11 stones and 2 pebbles.

How far is that? 2 feet and 5 thumbs.

How fast are we going? About 6 knots in a rope that’s hanging overboard.

It does make me laugh sometimes sorry. But the real problem is not the base units… It’s the multiplication factor.

I’m sure his son has vetted it first!

Yeah same here. Never diagnosed but I sure have a lot of traits of it.

And yes that is exactly what cats do with newcomers. Even between themselves. They only stare once they trust each other (and even then they will often squint as a sign of friendliness).

I think it’s because cats are predators as well as prey. They know big open eyes side by side are used to gauge distance for an attack (unlike the eyes on each side of the head like most prey animals have). So eyes are a weapon to them. This is why closing eyes is disarming.

Sorry, I didn’t mean Russians are expendable of course! (Hence the sad smiley). In fact I was lamenting the way the Soviet and Tsarist governments treated their population. Sorry if this wasn’t clear.

And I’m sure 90% of Russian soldiers are not happy to fight this war either. I’m sure they’d prefer being home with wife & kids rather than dodging bullets.

I think it’s AI!

Yah a fully expendable population makes for unlimited cannon fodder :(

Edit: Not saying Russians are expendable. Just saying that their previous dictatorships (and arguably the current!) considers them as such. I have nothing against Russians but I do against their governments.

It’s mad to think this country has only had a democracy for a year or so in the 90s. Which began with the fall of the USSR and ended with Yeltsin’s coup.

I apologize , that didn’t come across as intended. I didn’t mean to imply that it’s a matter of wanting at all.

I just argued against the narrative that somehow trans people are forcing cis people to become trans. Obviously they don’t ‘want’ that because they are in the right body for them. This is where all the “Don’t say gay” idiocy comes from. Because they view it as propaganda or something.

But of course the whole premise is BS. Even the concept of ‘becoming’ trans is. And yes I know it’s not a choice <3

But that came out wrong.

I like the way how conservative Americans are generous on Thanksgiving and think that one day is somehow enough or whatever.

I really really don’t understand what people have against you. What you do with your body is obviously none of their business whatsoever. I don’t get why people even want to have an opinion about that.

FWIW I’m really happy for you that you can live your life in the proper body to match your soul and I’m an LGBTQI+ ally <3 (and a little on the Q side myself).

I can understand people don’t want to be trans because they are simply in the right body or they aren’t but have religious doubts or whatever but that deep hatred I see even in some of my “friends” scares me.

Whyd they even need the US’ blessing? Normally the country that manufactured the arms has a veto but in this case that was Russia. So who cares?

Of course Russia would have vetoed these jets being used against them so it sounds like this 'rule ’ doesn’t always apply either.

But well done to the polish. Of course they know what it’s like to be first on the chopping block, sadly.

I’m not surprised. They hired the developer of all the major chat protocol bridges.

I use the big self hosted ansible playbook more for privacy reasons (self hosting everything) but I know it’s good! I like their client also but it’s not open source I think.

You’re right I didn’t watch it, nor did I look him up when I wondered about it.

I don’t have a lot of patience for videos, I’d normally only open written content.

Yeah it’s just not something that irked me enough to actually look up lol. Or watch the above video (I don’t have the patience for videos)

Why is mastodon too much trouble though?

I really don’t see the difference. In fact the one difference I do see is that it’s a whole lot less toxic than Twitter.

Haha recognizable.

I don’t really feel the same about all these. But some are pretty familiar.

I really get along with cats because they consider looking away a gesture of friendliness.
