Fuck FIFA and those that signes off on those terms. The World Cup is sports. Dragon boats are cultural. The World Cup will never be as important to humanity.

This. Collections (lists, dicts, tuples) behave a little differently than primitives.

Even new ones like Gemini.

Easy to find them with a Geiger counter.

Always happy to see a Mora.

My two meow at each other, humans, and the dog.

There’s a lot of neurodivergent folks on here and we can sometimes take things too literally.

Could you please clarify for the rest of us where the anti-semitism is in this post?

(Supposing that was not just a jab at inappropriate claims of anti-semitism)

Should be Felony: Perjury of Office with a minimum 5 year ban on holding any position of power in public or private sectors.

Obliterating ecosystems that provide necessary food to human beings, while we’re (not meaningfully) dealing with other anthropogenic collapses of the aquatic biosphere is not really a good choice. A better alternative would be to seize the vessel and its cargo to sell for reparations for Putin’s war.

Having worked at a McDick’s franchise in the past, my experience was that profit was the excuse. The owner wanted to feel like an aristocrat, showing up in their Bugatti and making proclamations without caring about how they meshed with reality (ex. fewer employees per shift will cause more waste because of the need to pre-cook more to keep up with rush demand).

Beat me to it.

The owners didn’t actually care. It was just a way to exert power over people.

Skills that you learn for Godot will better translate to other areas, if that’s what you want. Roblox would teach you mechanics but you’d be stuck in Roblox. For scripting languages, while Lua is handy for its embeddability (Luau in Roblox is based on Lua), GDScript is very Python-like, which makes the skills more transferrable.

They could be extensions of the scapula. This would make the renditions where pegasus appears to be galloping while flying more accurate.

LeVar Burton put out a documentary recently on the topic called “The Right to Read”.

Also, yeah, I’ve gotta give Japanese a proper go at some point. The characters look really interesting to learn.

Do note: The US public education system has raised a significant number of younger millennials, genZ, and gen-α (especially in impoverished areas) to be functionally illiterate due to both profiteering and desire to destroy education. Effectively, they switched to literacy programs meant to help people with cognitive disabilities somewhat function in a world that has writing everywhere. This does not teach people how to read or comprehend. It also robs them of capacity to self-learn from texts.

So, there’s a massive cohort of people whose parents and/or caregivers were not able to be spend time teaching this extremely important skill who are likely below 6th grade reading level.

Modern conservatives worldwide are behaving dictatorially. They are - to a person - small-minded, self-interested, fearful, hate-filled, loathsome authoritarians, who frequently wrap their abuse in religion.

And they have literally always been this way since conservatism as an ideology was founded. They are fundamentally opposed to democracy and crave power over others.

Another (mostly joking) suggestion: Create propaganda supporting use of free, [libre,] open-source software and esoteric operating systems (like Plan9). While this is not directly related to conventional nation-state-vs-nation-state or political-ideology-vs-political-ideology topics generally central to propaganda, it may encourage people to make the digital and physical world a stranger place.
