I mean, Spanish is the second most spoken language in the US and a large percentage of the country speaks Spanish as their first language. English isn’t the official language of the US either, or wasn’t, probably the current administration changed that.

The point is, you can tell a small lie to the lead pharmacist, and they’ll never know.

If that’s true, shame on them. But it doesn’t mean their browser isn’t good.

Wishing doesn’t seem like an effective strategy

They’re not distinguishing “remote work” from “working from home” which are two entirely different things. There are whole communities of remote workers who meet and work together around the world. I guarantee you that remote working men who take advantage of these kinds of environments have a better sense of community than men who are forced to go sit in a cubicle with a group of people like the cast of The Office with less sense of humor.

Don’t worry, the total collapse of the US government is scheduled for this weekend.

I barely know anything about Newsom’s track record, but based on the last few months dude has the biggest balls I’ve seen on any US politician in a long time.

I doubt it’s him who thinks he does. Remember, Putin is calling the shots, and his goal is to destabilize and destroy the US.

When I was 22, I was barely fit to lead myself

Oh fuck odd Google. Literally the only reason I was paying for your crap videos is so I could play music on my TV uninterrupted.

I’m really looking forward to what Russia has to say today.

Yeah, the point is Ukraine can now go to the peace talks and say “Are you ready to quit and go home yet?”

I live in a place full of Russians. Trust me, they know. The official state media tries to cover it up, but it’s getting harder and harder. Most Russians know, they just can’t talk about it publicly without risking prison. But Putin’s days are numbered.

Make it to a month, and it will be come a new habit. After three months of dedication, you’ll probably be able to look at yourself in the mirror and see real changes.

Thai people tend to have names that mean things like that.

Common ones I’ve seen:

Pang = bread Namsom = orange juice Namphueng = honey (bee water) Namfon = rain water Somporn = auspicious orange Somwan = sweet orange

I didn’t realize that Purism phones don’t have internationally compatible modems. As someone who travels a lot, that’s unfortunately a dealbreaker.

I’d assume that played a huge role in him choosing to step down.

86 started at a speakeasy during the prohibition called Chumley’s at 86 Bedford Street in NYC. They’d kick out poorly behaved people, telling them to “86 it” out the door. These days restaurant workers and kitchen staff is 86 to mean that a menu item is unavailable or someone is being cut off or kicked out. It basically means “get rid of it”.

How long do you think your rights in prison are going to last once they’ve eliminated your most basic rights outside of prison?

In my social circles, people have moved from Facebook to Instagram and WhatsApp. To be honest, it’s a different UI but the same algorithmic overlords.

The thing with Facebook/Meta is that it’s not just one thing. It’s a lot of different things under one umbrella. In general, the replacement for Meta is the Fediverse. But you need to be specific about which features you want to replace.

For long form posts, I’ve set up my own blog using Ghost. Ghost also has passable Fediverse support now, though it’s still missing a lot of features.
