I hate the opinion that we should switch to DST all the time. Why should we get to be special little guys with a weird time zone?

The thing that gets me is that calling it a skill feels like a stretch. You need like 4 pieces of information to read an analog clock, most of which can be gleaned from looking at it. Sure, you might not be able to read one instantaneously without practice, but it isn’t exactly calculus.
lose their nationality
I cannot imagine anything more trivial than that.


Neither did the child population of Palestine, nor likely the majority of its adult population.


You’re disgusting.


“'Do you have games on your phone?”


I think I get their point. The layers closest to the center of the onion have the smallest radius, so by only going all the way with every other cut, the smaller pieces toward the center of the onion get cut half as many times.
Pacific Northwest for me! Potato bugs forever!


I’m actually curious, do you use the browser version or a Lemmy app? I’m on Boost and I would have to click into the community if I wanted to see anything more than its name and instance.


I’ve never seen a community’s sidebar, since I use Lemmy on my phone like probably half of all users.


I take issue with you defining “being a non-woman and commenting” as “badly interacting.”
Wait, are we talking gigaseconds now?
Just so you know, the phrase you’re thinking of as historic and racist is “colored people”. People of Color is a more modern example of people-first language that has been broadly accepted as politically correct. Admittedly, at face value it seems like a very minor difference, but the historical context of a slur is 90% of the problem a lot of the time, so here we are.
You are on desktop. You have so many ways to deal with that problem it’s not even funny.


I know it’s been said a thousand times, but the books really are immensely better than the show. And they have a proper ending! The last 3 unadapted books are arguably the best part of the series, and Alex is there since there was no dipshit actor to get himself fired.


Is this an AI upscaled cereal guy?

Meh, I’m no patriot, but I think American English is largely fine. Minced meat sounds gross, and for some reason when you drop the ‘d’ it means fruit. So yes;
Hamburger in lasagna
Hamburger in meatloaf
Hamburger in Shepherd’s Pie (no one’s ever heard of cottage pie)
Not hamburger in tacos, once cooked and seasoned we call that taco meat (you may have a point).
The Holy Trinity normally refers to onion, celery, and green bell pepper, at least in Cajun cuisine.
