One would think that out of all countries, South Korea should be the least worried about North Korean nuclear attack. They’re next door neighbors a handful of miles apart from each other geographically, and wind exists to carry fallout right back to Kim Jong Un’s house.
Same reasons it always seems so odd whenever Russia threatens to nuke Ukraine.
Which is absolutely wild to me, considering that all natively born citizens received their citizenship involuntarily at birth.
This is exactly it. I glance at All on Lemmy for maybe 2% of my time here, primarily to see if I can discover a new community that I didn’t previously know about to add to my collection.
But it’s true. The real Lemmy experience is in your subscribed communities.
I’m going to be exceedingly gracious and assume that the one person who downvoted your comment (as of the time I’m typing this) accidentally hit the wrong button and didn’t realize it.
Slavery was about 99% of what drove the entire thing, so it makes sense to me.
The story is in the fact that they’re even asking.
Honestly, Google did this to themselves with not properly vetting the advertisers that they sell space to, and with oversaturation of ads.
If they’d have stopped granting ad space to scammers and malware spreaders, and if they’d have stopped adding advertisements at the line most people find tolerable (which seems to be a single ad between videos… not multiple at a time, and certainly no mid-rolls), they wouldn’t have triggered quite the level of ad blocking that they did.
I see this “problem” that they have as being entirely of their own making.
You do realize that the actual issue is that this is kind of thing is going to be normalized, so that it can spread like a plague across the corporate-touched internet, objectively making the entire thing as a whole objectively worse… right?
Because it sure doesn’t seem like it with that reply.
What does cigarette smoking do for people?
Gives them an assortment of cancers with a side of breathing and cardio issues.
Save yourself the PR nightmare that accompanies data breaches! Prevent all outside hacking forever by proactively dumping your data onto the internet yourself!
It’s pure genius!
You can’t really describe colors to someone blind from birth. They just have no reference or mechanical ability to be able to see it.
Someone below linked a Tommy Edison video (it’s a good watch, as is pretty much everything on his entire channel) where he talks about how people have tried to describe color to him all his life, but nothing they’ve said has ever actually made him see a color. He doesn’t see anything, he doesn’t have a working optic nerve.
Any idea of why Unity did this?
I mean, they’ll generate some short term cash, sure, but they just lost their entire customer base. No developer of any size can take on the liability and risk of working with Unity again, even if Unity realizes how badly they screwed this up and reverts this.
From experience, I can tell you that your bag is safe lol
They are designed so that the angle of the spray comes nowhere near there. You’d have to do some sort of gymnastics moves to be able to whack the piñata with it.
If nothing else… $$$.
People can get a well-working, basic washlet / bidet to install under their toilet seat for as little as $20 - $30 USD on Amazon. It reduces your TP usage so much that it will pay for itself within a year at most… likely faster.
I used to go through several rolls a week (I felt like I was personally killing a rainforest, but I can’t stand not being clean). After installing my first bidet a few weeks back, I now only use a little to dry, and to double-check that I didn’t miss anything. I’d estimate that it reduced my TP usage by probably 80 to 90%.
That’s going to be a not insignificant chunk of change saved over the years.
There are actually specific words in the English language for precisely what you’re talking about.
Endonym - The native name of a geologic feature or place. From your example: Nihon in Japanese.
Exonym - The foreign name of a geologic feature or place. From your example: Japan in English.
Pretty sure there have been a few spam bot/latent bot purges over the last month on multiple instances. I remember people discussing them a little while back. And it was a ton of bots.
So part of what you’re seeing is normalization, as the user numbers were always artificially inflated with bots.
Our definition of spam may be different. I think of it on a personal level as “this guy / bot just cross-posted the same thing to five different communities within two minutes.” Others wouldn’t define that as spam.
With blackjack? And hookers?
Connect for Lemmy has a block instances feature. No idea how well it works though
Instantly, completely, and perfectly. I know because I accidentally blocked my home instance (.world), and I had NOTHING on my local page. Took a few moments to figure out how to unblock it lol
Already done.
Getting flu and covid jabbed is just an October tradition at this point.
