My rule with langauge:

If you understand what they’re trying to say, then they did a good enough job expressing themselves.

(Also I love how this post is getting loads of upvotes because people are just seeing Bernie’s message and liking it lol).

Since your Australia section is lacking, here’s a couple:

transport > transit

ute > pickup truck

bogan > redneck

metro > subway

cyclone > hurricane

Me who has a chronic illness and no boobs: :(

This lol.

“Exercise makes you live longer” or, “those who are healthier are more able to exercise (and also live longer because they are healthier).”

I’m 100% disabled in my country

I can’t leave my bed, can’t speak or be spoken to, have trouble eating, and I can only use a phone for limited periods.

So I can’t work at all, hence 100% disabled.

If you have the money to leave. Buy a couple people on the street loaves of bread or a sleeping bag or something.

That even includes lemmy with 50k MAU.

NEIN

I’m in a wheelchair. And it feels so dehumanising. Because everyone makes an extra effort to never stare at me. I guess they learnt as kids you don’t stare at disabled people, but it feels like the lesson they internalised is you never look at disabled people. So no one ever looks at me except people I’m talking too. It makes me feel quite invisible.

Except kids. They always stare so mu h. It’s kinda weird.

Not everyone is using the cafe? People are allowed not to eat in a private restaurant. The availability of a bin shouldn’t be dependent on spending money.

So your entire argument is public bins are useless?

You understand that people should clean up after themselves whether or not there is a bin, but offering a bin is a useful service that greatly helps people out can be compatible right.

I dunno about you, but if I see a bin in a public area, I assume some is paid to empty it. I don’t empty it myself.

“And Serbia took it very personally”

Back and forth metamovements from land to sea are more common than you’d think, evolutionarily.

See Sea Turtles, for example.

Evolved from a common ancestor that was in the ocean (pre-amniotes) evolved into reptiles on land, then decided to go back in the water.

For me it’s a cost thing. Shredded cheese is more expensive per kg than hard block.

Just 6 light-years away, Barnard’s Star is a well-studied 10-billion-year-old M dwarf with a mass of 0.16 solar mass. Finding exoplanets around Barnard’s Star has been something of a white whale for astronomers for more than half a century; starting in the 1960s, researchers have claimed to have spotted various planets around Barnard’s Star, from distant Jupiter-mass companions to close-in super-Earths. Each of these claims has been refuted.

Now, the white whale appears to have been caught at last. Just last November, researchers reported the discovery of a planet orbiting Barnard’s Star with a period of 3.154 days. The data hinted at the presence of three other planets, but these candidates could not be confirmed. In a new research article published today, Ritvik Basant (University of Chicago) and collaborators leveraged years of data to confirm that Barnard’s Star hosts not just one, but four planets.

Personally knowing some young Israeli’s.

A lot of them don’t take the holocaust very seriously and tend to joke about it a lot, (maybe it’s a coping mechanism)? In any case, this is probably a case of an edgy high schooler trying to make their friends laugh.

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

Uuuuf.

My relationship is something more like this. Always coming close then mostly bouncing back but never as good as before.

Fuck me man. Why is everything fucked. I feel like I have to boycott everything at this point.

Startpage and proton were my mail “services” and now they’ve both gone to shit, great.
