You know what? It doesn’t have to be all over his body. Just the eyeballs.

Fifteen million merits.
If we want to avoid this shit, we need to come up with a free, open source, ad free alternative, for everything you see doing this. The problem is, once it becomes big enough, you’ll need at least some money invested to keep it running (server, maintenance, services, etc.). And then guess what generates enough money that scales with usage. I hate this, and I reaaaaally hope there’s some other way.

Haha, thanks, it’s still just perfect to stir my tea with.

Unless it’s a joke, I can definitely see myself leaving my designated teaspoon in a glass of cafiza/Puly Caff overnight. Not in the fridge, though 🤔.

Haha, yeah, meals containing cheese. Including (rather great) toasties.
- Comment on Veganuary 4 weeks ago:
About 5-6 years ago I did the same thing. I’m still a shameless omnivore, but I managed to reduce my meat consumption significantly. Around 2024 (so several years after I started) I had to get my blood analyzed. The only thing they found was my lack of vitamin D, but I live in a country with minimal sun exposure, so it’s a thing here anyway.
Note that I still eat meat, but way less often than before. I started with a maximum of two meaty days per week (no cap on meat those days), but not as a fixed schedule: I just allowed myself when I really craved it, but not more than 2 days a week. Can be 1 or 0.
Fast forward to the end of 2023, when I started thinking about when I last had meat, and I couldn’t remember. It wasn’t quite hard, to be honest: there are awesome veggie meals around, and I still eat dairy and eggs whenever.

I’m a helpless cheese/dairy addict, trying to cut off as much meat as possible. Unfortunately, a few years ago my body had decided not to deal with that anymore, and I became slightly lactose intolerant. Now, I can either go vegan and end up eating shittons of legumes, or I can keep eating cheese (my workplace provides free food, but basically everything has cheese in it). I’m trying my best to keep them alive, but it’s not easy.

Maybe it’s just me, but inconclusive results are still results, and get you a tiny step closer to the solution by redirecting you in a different direction.

I usually add context for this exact reason. You get lazy once, and there you go.

That’s admirable! I looked it up in translate and got a completely different result. I think I know what was going on : ) 🦃

I think we can - but just see how many people in your country call Turkey Türkiye (they made a request back in 2022) - and that was just one country, not all.
- Comment on Learning Japanese 1 month ago:
It’s like calling the entire country of the Netherlands Holland. Holland(ia?) is part of the Netherlands which gave the name of the country in a bunch of languages.
This is weird, by the way, I just wrote about the exact same thing not too long ago.
- Comment on What a great idea 1 month ago:
I used to work at this kiosk which was inside a café. A customer wanted to pay from the inside, which can happen, but it’s rare. Since the reader was cable wired to the plug at the window, I had to bring it to where he was standing, but the cable wasn’t long enough. I pulled it out as much as I could, and waited for him to step forward and reach out with his card is his hand.
He was just standing there, waving his card at the machine from ~3-4 feet away. Like, I don’t know, at one point the cats reader would go “HEY, that card is Larry! Hi, Larry, how are you doing you old sonofabitch?”

True, my bad for a poor word choice. I guess ‘people’ would have been more appropriate. But I guess the rest holds.

Some executioner style villain
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 2 months ago:
Or Németország in Hungarian. And Hungary is Magyarország in Hungarian. Ország just means country, so they’re just “German country” and “Hungarian country”, literally.
Most slavic countries also call Germany Německo or the like.
This happens when there’s no fast global media when you meet a new nation, and you can’t copy someone else’s homework to come up with a name for them. Or when you copy someone else’s homework, instead of actually asking a member of that nation.
- Comment on I felt so betrayed when I found out Germany isn't called Germany in Germany 2 months ago:
AFAIK French has something similar. I might be wrong, but similarly to the Holland/Netherlands (Nederlanden) story, it was named after one of the tribes in Germany (alamanni, “all men”), before the great unification.
- Comment on If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’” 2 months ago:
I’m sure my reasoning would bounce off just one question later, but my next question would be that if god knows everything then why does he test people’s faith? He doesn’t need to, since he knows already whether you have faith or not. Also, are hundreds of million years old dinosaur bones really the most brilliant way of testing someone’s faith?
