re: european outlets number: we usually just get an extender with multiple ports, i have 5 of those in my small flat

yes exactly! in another comment i described it as a sweetened and carbonated bathroom potion made by a 6 year old. i shorthand that taste to vomit because it reminds me of how doing that little puke into your mouth after a big meal feels like…

dang! good to know

does drinking things with sucralose make your mouth have an aftertaste like carbonated and sweet vomit? if yes then i think i have the same thing

pepsi max genuinely makes me want to vomit. i once only had the option to take a pepsi max at a KFC, took a few sips and felt so disgusted i didn’t even want to eat anymore. threw it out, packed my food, and went to buy a coke on the way home

are my taste buds broken? or do people really like the flavour of what i can only describe as a 6 year old’s bathroom potion of various chemicals, died black, sweetened, and carbonated

also good luck basically upheaving the entire ESL world by making all the texbooks obsolete. would be pretty wild

that reminds me a bit of the Polish incident with liberum veto. in theory a good thing - those who could vote all had an equal voice to stop any Sejm gathering they wanted. but the obvious thing happened obviously - lower ranking nobles were getting bribed by domestic and foreign forces alike to veto new legislations seconds before they got signed, wasting days if not weeks of work, and basically stopping Polish politics in place. Poland only got our shit together too little and too late, in 1791 we got our constitution that finally removed liberum veto, but the damage was done, two years later the Second Partition happened

English might be a bit- creative with the spellings of words but at least they pronounce most of the letters, not just half of them

yeah democracy as it is most common today has its issues, sadly, and propaganda is easier to spread than ever. and the soviet system of rotating positions also ensured people that were easy to control because they were new to the job. i do wonder if there is any system that could work for us humans

i hope you stay safe in Russia, you sound highly aware of the motions in politics, and as you surely know the intelligence is often targeted first when a dictator wants to dictate without being questioned

even though it made me a little depressed - thank you for the explanation, this really sucks no matter how you look at it doesn’t it, ehhh

i genuinely cannot see how this improves anything. if they want to keep them kids in the dark about sexual stuff - how is pushing them to be exposed to most likely hardcore bdsm on the front page assuring that?

the researchers said all AI posts were approved by a human before posting, it was their choice how many lies to include

is it breaking the cycle? it sounds to me like like leaving the cycle and then living in fear of ever connecting with anyone because you’re afraid that the cycle is the only way you can be

or perhaps she heard her dad say that as a joke to someone and decided that she’s going to do the same

well i’m half unemployed so i don’t have much to celebrate :( but next year i hope i will be!

But overall, enforcement causes nearly half of users to stop searching for popular adult sites complying with laws and instead search for a noncompliant rival (48 percent) or virtual private network (VPN) services (34 percent), which are used to mask a location and circumvent age checks on preferred sites, the study found.

what a fucking surprise. now the teens only watch porn that is already skirting around laws just by virtue of existing. truly nobody could’ve ever imagined this would happen

jesus christ i’m so tired of stupid politicians

gotta be international, my genitals are starting to get sore-

spring has truly come i think

is your taste and smell different in any other way? or is it just black liquorice that transformed from disgusting to beloved?

has the flavour of liquorice changed for you? or is the flavour the same but you now enjoy it?

how many tires have you eaten and what does it mean that something tastes like a tire in a good way???

i have so many questions

haven’t you heard? strawerries lost their berry status, and now they’re trying to lay low and avoid the identity theft lawsuits
