No need to ask any other Germans, I think that works if you say it out loud, lol.

With a whole shit ton of sanctions. Still interesting that they’re not getting hit by this, whatever the reasons.

I like that even better, “Cheek whistle face.” Is there a way to make it more cheeks (butt) whistle face?

Backpfeifengesicht.
Translated to a slappable face. I sometimes can tell what they mean in German if I say it out loud. I was pretty sure “Back fife and shit” was probably wrong.

I remember it being a meme, but I couldn’t remember which one. For the uninformed like me: knowyourmeme.com/memes/three-seashells

My friend has one of those Japanese ones. It also has a warmed toilet seat. When I came out, I said that seat is amazing and they said people never come out of there. I proposed that they were napping on the seat. Why do seat warmers feel so good? The thing is, I could never figure out how to make the actual bidet part work. I suspect the people who took a long time were also trying to test it out, but didn’t know how. Or maybe they did and enjoyed it?

I like “Hot” and “Top Six Hours” myself. “Scaled” and “New” aren’t bad if you’re looking for more content.

- Comment on does someone who lives very far away from me (for example 1900 miles) see the same night sky as me? (as in moon, stars, etc) 3 weeks ago:
That’s a great clarification. There is some overlap, but you’re right, they may or may not see some stars or constellations. The Southern Cross for instance, can only be seen from certain southern states.

A good way to think about this is time zones. The sun is in a different spot depending on what time zone you’re in, so will everything else be in the sky. Also, it depends on seasons because the earth tilts on its axis.
Planets, the “stars” that don’t twinkle, are sometimes between us and the sun (Mercury and Venus). Those planets have crazy patterns and are the evening and morning stars. The planets that aren’t between us and the sun act consistently (the rest).
Our moon travels around us and isn’t attached to the sun, but is in the earth’s orbit. That’s why a lunar calendar and a sun calendar are so different.

I think it’s because thermal requires no ink.

This can be confusing. Should I stop reading the WaPo? Well, I already don’t subscribe, jump the paywall, and block ads. Me using the site hurts him more than if i didn’t
Most of the good people have left though, yeah?

- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 4 weeks ago:
I’m checking right now, but it’s kind of unclear. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like Librewolf picks and chooses what to use from Firefox, yeah?
I’m also looking into the TOR browser.

Isn’t Librewolf tied to Firefox’ TOS?
- Comment on Why am I getting gore on my racism app? 5 weeks ago:
I posted this in the other link, from the article:
In an email, a Meta spokesperson told 404 Media “We have fixed an error that caused some users to see content in their Instagram Reels feed that should not have been recommended. We apologize for the mistake.” They said that the problem does not have anything to do with Meta’s recent announcement that it would loosen some content moderation rules.
To prove that this was actually happening, I sent Meta six links to graphic reels. These included two videos of people getting shot in the face, a video of a dead body with no context or obvious news value, a person getting lit on fire, the account called “PeopleDeadDaily,” and the tower of terror video. None of these videos have been deleted.
One of the many problems preventing people from actually holding Meta to account for any of this is that everyone’s feed is so incredibly personalized. Like I said, because we report on the darker corners of the internet, my Instagram feed is full of horrific things on a daily basis, which is probably not everyone’s experience.

- Comment on YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up. 5 weeks ago:
That’s hilarious, the jury wasn’t fucking around. I wonder if the US uses that law since we were under the crown at the time? Did we inherit any laws from before we claimed independence? I never thought about that.

I think the judge can override the jury though, right? Ianal, but I thought the judge could do that for any case.
