I’ll agree it doesn’t really answer the “why”, but how is it implying anyone lying?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)
Thorn or þorn (Þ, þ) is a letter in the Old English, Old Norse, Old Swedish and modern Icelandic alphabets, as well as modern transliterations of the Gothic alphabet, Middle Scots, and some dialects of Middle English. It was also used in medieval Scandinavia but was later replaced with the digraph th, except in Iceland, where it survives. The letter originated from the rune ᚦ in the Elder Futhark and was called thorn in the Anglo-Saxon and thorn or thurs in the Scandinavian rune poems. It is similar in appearance to the archaic Greek letter sho (ϸ), although the two are historically unrelated. The only language in which þ is currently in use is Icelandic.[1]

Yes, I know. I’m Finnish and we were a bit further in mobile infra than the rest of the world, no offense.
The joke works, but it works better when you don’t have to rely on actually committing to it.
Am not as of care about anyone. Am as of care just about a nihilistic friend, and can’t even care as much to actually make it fit,
What ever and everything heyooooo

Yeah with good luck you could have enough energy, but… who’s gonna ever rely on the sun being available when you’re hungry?
Solar panels, sure, as they’re there all the time, and not just when youre hungry.
But solar cooking, yeah, not so much at these latitudes

What do you mean America still does that?
I know Trumpism is real threat to trans people ans trans healthcare and rights have taken massive hits, but you’re not actually forced to undergo sterilisation as a trans person, are you?
I’m sure you’ve heard of this man even if you don’t remember it by name en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Beatie he became pregnant in 2007.
Wouldn’t have happened here, because of the forced sterilisation.

Two wrongs don’t make a right, just more wrong.

In 2017 EU court was like “Finland that’s not legal, and is breaking human rights.”
2023 they finally fix it.
COPENHAGEN, March 3 (Reuters) - Finland will allow transgender people to change their legal gender at their own request and without undergoing sterilisation, new legislation signed by the Finnish President confirmed on Friday. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in 2017 , opens new tab that requiring sterilisation in order for individuals to change the sex on their birth certificate is a violation of human rights.

And honey is more or less vomit if you want to think about like that.
Then again, if you do, remember that your cafe latte is also just boob fat and protein with some bean juice.

Sure they can, and could disembowel you with one kick.
I’d still rather fight one of those than some properly quadruped super crocodile.

Is this going to kill Onlyfans?
Or is the market decidedly because Onlyfans is about personal creators and thus it’s more meaningful than porn?
But when short AI videos become so good you can’t tell if you’re being catfished, will it feel the same?
- Comment on predatory giraffes 2 weeks ago:
Even though their size is insane, they probably weighed like 200-250 kg, meaning they were pretty light.
I’d rather fight one of these than any sort of land based raptor.

Yea, but you could achieve this by placing a circle of cardboard in the middle or a ring that you attach to your lens.
I don’t remember the guy but YT shorts I’ve seen a guy testing all sorts of different shapes and filters in front of his lenses or even just in front of his sensor without a lens.
Can’t recall who.
Anyhow

hold onto a thought longer than I.
If you were speaking about someone else, would you use “he/she” or “him/her” in this context?
Because if it’s the former, then you use “I” to replace it, and if it’s the latter, you use “me”.
other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than she.
Doesn’t sound right.

Sounds better.

But armies wouldn’t be made of rich people.
Also also, it’s either diabetes or the HFCS, but Americans have a very distinct, plump look all around. Whereas here it’s often just a huge belly people have and maybe an extra chin or something.
But not all all around Michelin man.
My dad worked at a theme parn in Finland, driving the guests around in a sort of road-train. And he wasn’t a small man by no means, every gluttonous and always thirsty. Died at 70 that’s how healthy he was.
Anyways, he was shocked and told me that he’d never seen “people shaped like that”.
No offense.
Well some probably.

I prefer like a bent triangle, then you grab it by the tip and then put as much salsa on it as possible. The chip to salsa ratio is off the charts.
Although these rounds ones have a bit more chip to salsa, their structural integrity is better and didn’t break as triangles often do.
- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 2 weeks ago:
It’s not weird at all.
A perfectly natural consequence of laissez-faire capitalism leading what should and shouldn’t be regulated.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_desert
I find it incredibly weird to imagine that some people think it normal that you can’t walk to a grocery store with fresh vegetables etc.
Never had Doritos or Funyons or Twinkies in my life. I tried Oreos once, but I’m more used to the equivalent we have here (copied and slightly altered by some decades and decades ago.)
I don’t think there’s anything I prefer as the American version. Perhaps like if you use the word to encompass all American countries, maybe, ~authentic Mexican is pretty nice and usually gluten free.
It’s a lot about food deserts and infra and regulation, but also using HFCS instead of some other sugars does have an effect.
Even though we got very gluttonous people as well, somehow ours aren’t just ever as Michelin Man shaped. It’s more like a huuuuge belly with skinny legs and arms and head. Well some diabetic people do tend to swell up quite a bit but…

I served in a military in Finland in peacetime. That’s basically what we use instead of a national guard.
There was no crisis when our company was on-call, but at least one or two companies stated every weekend to make sure there’s enough people to rapidly deploy assistance anywhere.
My older brother had to go and help a city out. But yeah, it’s basically just assisting people in crisises.
Unless Putler decides he wants to give it a go, but I strongly doubt it.
