The idea of a zombie comes from vodou (voodoo) and long predates any pop culture depiction of it.
So your plan is to subvert democracy to save democracy?
Putting ads targeted to parents on kids' shows is as old as kids' shows, man. That's not a new thing or specific to YouTube
It could kinda be viable if ties for most common hand worked in your favor, but they don't. The only way I can see getting any value out of it at all is if you go hard on a single hand build for the first half of the run, pick it up at the halfway point and abruptly pivot your whole strategy, I guess?
Sure, I guess, in the same way that all the water in your body was once dinosaur piss
Contract killers don't really exist, and even if they did, it's obviously not covered by the legal system, so, you do.
I want people to remember this one because we've heard this rhetoric over and over. That if people only didn't vote for 3rd parties everything would be better.
Huh? People don't say this. Why would they -- people don't vote for third parties. What they say is if people did try to shift toward third parties in any numbers then odds get worse. Which is pretty much true by definition, in first past the post.
I'm... Not really sure what your question is. What do you mean by your laptop "fitting in the community?"
90% of urban dictionary is 10-16 year old boys making up outrageous stuff for laughs, or putting up some inside joke that their friend group invented that has never been used by anyone else
You managed to pick the 1% of urban dictionary entries that is an actual term, though
It happens pretty frequently in tech job listings, to have a requirement listed for more years experience in some technology than that technology has existed
Yeah, but the northern part of the peninsula is broadly more culturally uniform than Sicily and Sardinia, and while the exact borders fluctuated a lot and was mainly made of city-states for a long time, there had been past kingdoms that unified the North peninsula much more recently than either of those two regions. "Italy" as a term really only referred to the northern peninsula, for the most part, for well over a thousand years.
Sicily (which would include the south end of the boot) would probably have the same label if it weren't less funny that way. They were all distinct kingdoms and cultures for most of their history. the modern unified Italian identity is quite young by European standards, about as old as the US civil war
? You're saying exactly the same thing I am. I was giving a definition, not an example. Admittedly confusing since I used the (real) word in its own (slang) definition.
No, "aesthetic" is generally just a noun, historically. As in "it has a modern/minimalist/cyberpunk aesthetic." Its usage as an adjective just means "relating to the general idea of aesthetics as a field of study," or "someone with a strong sense of and attunement to the design and beauty of things." Using it to just mean "beautiful," basically, is a new usage in just the last 5 years or less.
Using it as an adjective, to mean "has a pleasing aesthetic."
I mean... Babies and small children don't "choose" what language to learn, they just pick up whatever's spoken regularly around them. So whatever their families and community speak, same as everyone else?
Yeah, which nobody would "expect" you to if you're not from there
Where are you getting this impression? I've never gotten any sense that anyone outside the city is "expected" to know its geography. "Expected" how?
Also there are only 5 boroughs
Any concept this was ever a thing will be buried beneath the sands of time within your lifetime. You, too, will forget it completely. Nobody will ever think it peculiar because nobody will ever think of it at all.
it's also not that weird
Less friction to block a community
First of all, thank you so much for all your work! This is definitely a way better experience than the web client. And thanks for adding community blocking, so now I don't have to go back for that feature.
I like to keep pretty huge categories of communities out of my feed entirely. But, I also want to be aware of what other communities of interest might be out there, especially now while the Lemmy landscape is evolving so quickly. So the strategy of only ever browsing subs and foregoing All entirely doesn't really work.
But, as I've seen other people highlighting in other posts, federation also means that the number of redundant communities across instances is huge. I don't just have to block all the political communities, I have to block them everywhere we're federated with. My block-list is already gigantic and I don't anticipate the need to block communities going away soon.
It'd be a much smoother experience if Block Community was an option directly in the three-dot menu of an individual post, instead of having to leave my feed, go through another menu, and go back every time.
