No no, he doesn’t think that Russia is winning, he wants Russia to win.

They never have been.

Not exactly in my language, but Lipton used to have an advert for their ice tea “Limone” in Japan. A lady sing a jingle, and in the middle of it she’d exclaim 「おいちい」, meaning “delicious.” However, 「ちい」could also be interpreted as the English word tea. Thus an appropriate translation of the pun would be “tealicious.”

Did a quick search and found the advert in question.

Oh my gods, the mess that is Teams. When I first started working at my current company I was kind of excited because all of the software just works together. It felt novel, and I was enchanted by it. That quickly died when I realised that it makes finding anything a nightmare. There’s a billion different tabs and solutions for every single individual thing, and even multiple things within the same project. I think the main project I work on has like fifteen different test documents, and good luck trying to find the documentation for pushing stuff live! The only real way to find things is to ask someone who knows. There’s half a billion different search bars and finding the right one is just way too time consuming.

Yeah, forums please. I hate the idea of troubleshooting information being locked behind some stupid software we can’t easily index and search. Forums can be put on archive.org, you can literally print a page, or save it as a PDF for reviewing later. You can make use of bookmark software like Linkwarden to archive things.

Discord? Not so much. You can use third party software to scrape it and save information, but no search engine can index it. Community building is great, but I loathe having to trawl through tonnes of blithering blathering conversation BS just to figure out where to find firmware for a particular chip I have is.

Makes me want to projectile vomit all over the place, throw my computer out the window, and move to convent.

Depending on what you aim to do, Matrix works well enough. Reminds me a lot of Discord back in 2017 or so.

I really hated all the moaning about people calling out that both are shitty options. The Overton window is so far to the right. Like, yeah Harris is clearly the better option but neither represent any positive moves forward.

Aye. Famine is a failure in policy. Enough people in power have decided that these people should suffer and die.

Wasn’t he in hot water for corruption a while ago?

Wow I’d missed that. Honestly we need to throw out the entire parliament. They’re all broken.

Well, no. It wouldn’t be the first kanji of English. Kanji is the Japanese pronunciation of 漢字 (hanzi), where 漢 means han/China and 字 means character/letter. Ergo, it makes no sense to call it “the English language’s first and only Chinese character.”

If you need to use a Japanese word to describe this, then 絵文字 (e mo ji; picture, character/symbol) fits better, but we already have several words for that, like pictogram or pictograph. One could argue that smileys fall into this category as well. So perhaps it’s a smiley.

It’s not private given that they require your phone number to sign up.

Good. Hating half the population is a pretty extreme take.

This particular tumblr blog’s entire thing is taking poorly cropped tumblr screenshots from Pinterest and reposting them on tumblr.

In non-Japanese cartoons as well. Jimmy Neutron is voiced by Debi Derryberry.

Countless ants.

It’s giving three body.

Good Roborock. Mine keeps thinking that my office desk are body scales.

Rumpelstiltskin.

Naomi Novik wrote a lovely book inspired by it called “Spinning Silver.”

His fursona is some sort of alien avian raptor thing made out of nitrogen or something.

I don’t have one as I’m only in it for the porn.
