I’ve always thought it was weird how there are two media properties involving genderless gem people.
(the other is Land of the Lustrous)

I don’t know the details of the situation in Poland, but Poland does have an 87% home ownership rate.
- Comment on New Caledonia protests: death reported and 130 arrested amid anger over voting change 6 months ago:
I did some research into this out of curiosity. It turns out that the 30 day requirement for local and state elections was decided by the Supreme Court in Dunn v. Blumstein (1972) as an application of the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment, on the basis that states already allowed long-time residents to register to vote up to 30 days before an election and that restricting new residents from doing so was arbitrary.

This also happened with the crew of the Ever Given for months, after it was dislodged from the Suez Canal: foreignpolicy.com/…/ever-given-suez-crew-stuck-sh…
- Comment on Can’t stand it when they do that 6 months ago:
The Target app is the best that I’ve seen for customers. It won’t plan your route, but you can search for items and it will tell you the aisle, location within the aisle, and stock level for any item at your local target.
- Comment on best anime to start on 7 months ago:
My spiciest anime hot take is that the Netflix adaption of Death Note was actually pretty good.
The problem was that anyone who liked the anime would hate it and vice versa, so it had no audience.
But if you disliked the anime, then I highly recommend checking out the Netflix adaption.
It answers the question “what if Light were cringe”.

My favorite has always been crunch bars. So good.

Coffee crisps and ketchup chips are the two things I always buy when I’m in Canada. I wish we had them in the States.
- Comment on Fantasy rednecks 1 year ago:
I never quite got over how the Aiel look Irish, have fantasy-Arab/Berber culture, and eat Native American food. And I read the entire series!
- Comment on 'Where ambition goes to die': These tech workers flocked to Austin during the pandemic. Now they're desperate to get out. 1 year ago:
Austin is a nice city. With all due respect, and as someone who grew up in Texas but now lives in NYC, it is exactly this kind of condescension that makes a lot of Texans dislike people from the coasts.

So what you’re saying is, it is true that I will no longer have French installed.
- Comment on [HN] I am offering a $100k bounty to the person who sets me up with my life partner 1 year ago:
I’m not sure how OP decides whether to x-post something from HN (manually? randomly? vote threshold?). But in the Matrix example it’s pretty common for HN users to post a project page as the article and then use the comments to discuss the project. In this case it looks like a fair number of users upvoted it but no one had anything to say.
It does seem confusing now that I think about it, if you aren’t familiar with HN. It has its own weird little culture and rules. I generally like it there most of the time.

HN = Hacker News is a link aggregator like Reddit or Lemmy. (I’m on all three under the same username)
It often has odd stuff like this because the goal of HN is to have “anything that would be interesting to hackers” and not just tech news.
Since HN doesn’t have a notion of subreddit or community, everything hits the same front page and there isn’t really a way to filter it out.
