I still really like Valar Morghulis and Valar Dohaeris. I need to finish the fifth book at some point x.x and the series xD

Super gewählter Grau-Ton. Man kann es wirklich sehr gut lesen, hat mich etwas überrascht!

Wahrscheinlich eher Yokai a là kasa-obake oder nurikabe. Denke nicht, dass du plötzlich so einen böswilligen Geist bekommst, weil sie zwischen den Jahren hing. Gibt sicherlich auch einen mit Wäsche assoziierten Yokai gibt

The first four terms became associated with disabilities through the medical field. The first two terms were categories on the IQ-Scale (idiot is the one that comes before imbecile in that scale, btb). The third is a shortening of a medical term conflated with another (spasticity and clonus) and the fourth is another psychological term referring to similar things as the first two.

Those were originally meant to be clinical but have been abused by those people, they also were created from outside the community (special needs most likely too, as it is a euphemism). I am unsure about “Acoustic”, that might be embracing of a meme, unless it was used as a euphemism for autism by non-autistic people.

Neurodivergent is different, this is a term coined by a part of the community. I am not sure whether the term endonym is accurate here but it is similar in nature.

Considering the Archduke was the heir of the austro-hungarian throne and the HRE having been defunct for over 100 years, this is basically on the level of someone assassinating the VP

Wenn du damit das Spiel von Bungie meinst, leider nein

Idk if you’ve seen one of these dubs/voice overs, but usually the underlying is so quite, it is closer to being muted than actually understandable

Without any context I was so confused why some parts of the text were bolder than others x.x

If I understand it correctly it’s to aid in speed reading, right?

They might just be an anonymization thing. Abstracting the names into codenames/shorthands might make easier to understand “who”'s doing what without revealing any names.

At least, that’s what I would infer is the purpose based on what I was reading there.

I hardly think it is necessary to be an expert in Near-East conflict or politics in order to condemn what basically amounts to a terrorist attack.

Whether or not they should do something is a different issue all together. But dismissing criticism because they don’t provide an alternate solution to an intricate problem is hardly any more helpful. Israel has many more pathways to do this properly, one idea would be the ICJ.

You’re also falling into an overgeneralization fallacy. While Hezbollah is in the lebanese government, this doesn’t make all citizens of lebanon complicit. Hezbollah doesn’t represent all of Lebanon, neither do Hamas all of Palestine or Netanjahu all of Israel.

Federated means that any instance that is federated with them receives their content and can bee seen on that instance.

Defederated means they are not federated anymore, thus blocking both users and content.

It’s usually done to combat content you don’t want on your instance

It feels that way, too. Yay for private Healthcare infrastructure

Calling oneself Empress or Emperor usually does imply that, I guess

I’d almost agree. Steam is great with it’s return policy, but only really by comparison. The 14 days is definitely plenty of time, but 2h is not a lot for quite a few, and especially the expensive, games.

Who the hell is Empress? O.o

I don’t understand what you mean, would you elaborate?

The entire situation is fubar. I feel for the citizens of both Israel and Palestine as both countries are just horrible to each other. To me it feels like there is no good side, whatever you choose, you end up with one form of evil x.x

I wish there would be a good way to solve this but I am not sure that this will be fixed any time soon. Hopefully the bloodshed will be minimal, because hoping for none at all would be futile

Don’t have the Fold but the Flip 3. I’d say it is pretty much as resistant as any other phone I had. If not more so because the main screen in protected when folded

Scammers evolve to find new prey. While the phone scams and the different types of phishing might still work, I am quite that’s not where most of the money is now.

We’ve seen kickstarter, bitcoin, mlm scams and what not. There’s enough out there that have not been properly identified, too.

Could I get some more context? Seems like an interesting rabbit-hole to alice-about in
