I was very excited to see this until I saw it was on ML, and instance which I have voluntarily blocked due to moderators banning people for not self censoring according to CCP propaganda.

Yep. Very few people would waste all their money and tear up their vagina and lose all their sleep for three years, and free time for atleast a decade, on purpose. We have an evolutionary drive to.

Well quatre-vignt-dix is literally translated to “four twenty ten” (why not just nine ten? because historically french evolved with a base 20 counting system).

But when a french person hears that, they don’t hear those numbers, to them it just means ninety.

Just like an english person won’t hear. “four-ty”, and think “four-ten” “oh that’s 40”. Because “fourty” was originally “four-ten” (written differently because old english so I rewrote in modern for simplicity) and got shortened down.

To them “fourty” is just a word that means 40. Just like to metropolitan french people “ quatre-vignt-dix” is just a word that means 90.

I was shocked when I visited the US and people actually occasionally just threw stuff on the ground without a second thought.

In my country you’d get so many bad stares from bystanders if you did that lol. I once got yelled on by an old women because I accidentally put my PET bottle in the general bin.

Yup. This is 100% the case. Either it’s a stolen image simply used for scamming, either it’s a harrasment technique.

If on ios, Unwatched is my holy grail

Since I always browse with VPN + lots of privacy protections, I feel like half the websites I visit think I’m a bot. It’s a pain in the arse.

Really? I’m pretty sure I’m being IP tracked by companies like google.

I’m deaf and the large majority of peertube videos don’t have captions :/

Yep. It was a feature people kept on shouting at the devs that they needed. The devs kept trying to explain how an open protocol works and that everything they post is open. But no one seemed to get it so they just added this feature with the caveat it only works for people using the Bluesky PBC’s app and website.

This.

Yep. S01 and S02 of American Dad are watchable too, and then it becomes bigoted slop.

Those shows both started off lefty, and then became “mainstream” so they had to make fun of leftists, which meant basically being racist, ableist etc.

Habits of Highly Successful People

Yup. Without sufficient evidence to the contrary, one can assume it is a scam.

It’s not the programming. It’s the power and financial success. Back in the day it was the oil buisnessmen.

Thanks, that’s really what I wanted to hear as someone who can’t work and is on a fixed disability income (way below poverty line).
