Number wise it went up due to the economy going up after the 90’s
Then his adopted son medvedev would be in charge
Would that be so different?
ofc not
Lol.
and when it became clear that people don't buy that, he just played another card
evading rules, prolonging the term, changing the constitution for more terms, then that.. "nullification"
at this point it's clear that the leader will not change untill this one's death
how does it make any difference from soviet chiefs, general secretaries or other tsar-emperors, i have no idea
also, people share that idea, "who if not putin", which helps him stay popular
but in reality, if the options would be wider, there could be some other people competent enough to pick from
but some were put in jail for made up reasons, some were misteriously killed (like Nemtsov, in the very centre of Moscow, near Kremlin.. and what do you think, the killer wasn't found)
some were simply not allowed for voting, because reasons
and people stayed with the same three major guys, as in 90s
the communist boomer, the liberal-democratic clown and "the only right choice"
and also some minor who are barely remembered outside of being huge supporters of the president
im out of cocoa
gdp since 2008 was bumpy but overall the same peaking in 2013 then falling almost twice then recovering however military spending did not stop growing
and now, when the clown died of ligma covid, and boomer decided to stop political activity, there's no other option left
well played
something tells me, even Medvedev is basically told to act like incompetent person, and he gladly does that still
also russia is following the canons of 1984 very closely, other countries like chine may be closer to the extremeness of it but russia is doing precisely the same things as in 1984 just less extreme
at least it seems that to me
i remember the parade of victory in 2021, when along with military machines like tanks and missile carriers, there were some armored vehicles of the national guard
basically, it was a clear sign that the inner army is prepared just as well to shoot at russians as the actual army is prepared for any kind of war
well.. this year there was only one T-34 from ww2 times, probably the same one that is shown every year
like here's your daily dose of hate on tv, here's a sudden war that we always fought, the lowest working class and the working class that does the work that needs a higher education and sometimes understands what's going on but it's not worth the risk trying to change something openly and if you try to reach the "resistance" the contacting agent will turn out to be a government agent
here in saint peterburg we also had a t-34
also katyushas
tbh now that I think about it china is probably the same but more extreme
national guard has more personnel than all of russia's army without the ground army
count to that police forces of different grades, patrols, spetsnaz, omon and what not
while those who're supposed to find actual criminals doing almost nothing
also uh
one of my friends who's well versed in politics of russia said once that all inner personnel including police and everything and like uhh idk how's it called МЧС he said that he counted 15 million of personnel but without a source or elaboration so yeah idk if true but literally big if true
how long ago it was? two years since i was fooled to give away all the life savings? how many else people suffered from that, hundreds? thousands?
no results
there's enough forces to make an insurrection unresultative
it hurts even more considering my mom and granny worked in police.. back when it was called militsia
and they actually tired to help people
and now due to reformations the main quality of a policemen is being loyal to the authorities
in 2016 was the largest reform and growth of inner forces iirc
holy hell my youtube on shuffle just randomly chose two songs that went right one after another
that's about 1 in 1400 chance
aight I'll go drink tea
I'm pretty sure youtube does a fake shuffle, especially on its mobile app.
Urge to buy All of the lirika matoshi daisy collection 😔
Same as the US then

much cottagecore, wow
turns out I had a bit over 1000 tabs open in my browser in my phone
it says 946 but I closed like 60 before pressing close all because I went through everything and saved and closed what I needed to save https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/827190621218668605/1113589235501498499/Screenshot_2023-06-01-01-04-44-657_com.android.chrome.jpg?width=316&height=702
god damn
i'm 80% sure there's a contact form on their website :)
Supergiant Games is a small independent game development studio in San Francisco, known for its award-winning titles Hades, Pyre, Transistor, and Bastion.
yup!
Reddit wants to charge apollo 20 million per year for its API calls
and Reddit Is Fun is the same way
so I guess, Reddit was Fun
not sure where I'll get my dopamine when this goes into effect
17% of reddit users are using third party apps to use reddit
however, these third party apps don't make reddit as much money because ad revenue
however, reddit's app and main site suck
does old.reddit use API
no
okay. it's something
but odds are that wont survive much longer
ohhhhhhhh
just from the upkeep costs alone
so instead of making a product that this small amount of users want to use they instead are going to just try and force them back onto the main product
dunno where I'm gonna get my dopamine fix when this goes through
can confirm that I'm trying to use the reddit app occasionally as of a couple of months and it's annoying af
esp because i can't close, hide or block ads on it
Reddit is trying to desperately IPO before investors at large realize that social media actually isn't that great an idea
IPO?
initial public offering, E.G. Turn the shares of their company into money
I wonder if the bot will eat this link: https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/
Hey!
This is a really well written article about the phenomenon
Good day folks, morning's quiet cause today is a holiday apparently.

It's kind of like... the day our ideology was made.

Happy pride month
According to astrology I'm patrick bateman 
I think you might be reading into that a bit
blerg

elaborate on?
just being a sally sadpants
I don't know who that is but I agree that this song is catchy and sounds awful
never heard of em
imagine kids nowadays knowing of the smiths
ikr?
i spend prolly 10ish hours every day listening to music and there's still more and more...
true
i like the imagine the smiths as blocked in time and not think of how they are doing now
because they dont exist anymore lmao
i like the smiths like i like my breakfast
rarely have it and usually only when someone reminds me such a thing exists
english?
oh

idk i only listened to the queen is dead fully it's a really good album
i gifted my sister a vinyl of that album
she didn't care but grew to like it lol
eh, im not against them but they do sound kinda repetitive and not exactly my vibe
like. I don't mind the occasional song
but probably wouldn't put on an entire album
this reminds me, on the opossite end of the spectrum, THE CURE
I know the cure
How to write a Smiths song in 1 minute by Desmond Doom.
Made out of love for Moz and Marr's songwriting in The Smiths! xox
tags:
the smiths, desmond doom, post-punk, new wave, surf-goth, postpunk, post punk, surf goth, morrissey, johnny marr, this charming man, the queen is dead, how soon is now, the cure, 80s, jangle, guitar
didn't listen to them tho
this video is such a good summary of the smiths lol
what noooo go do it
that's how you can get OG goth street cred
and not get called an e girl poser
that's how it works right?

for more OG goth also hear Siouxie and the banshees
juju specifically :3
and later on Sisters of Mercy 
(love that the frontman keeps claiming he's not goth)
well
the best bands in the genre deny what they are
happened with Korn, Linkin Park, etc.
do you guys remember that one sideways video where he frantically justifies that he hears linkin park in the avengers
idk I usually don't really like goth music unless it's rem(they're goth right?not sure) or metal
it's hand in hand with post punk which is the introverted cousin of punk
and it relies on very nice bass lines and creative guitar jams but mostly atmosphere
who?
I don't like punk either unless it's refused or letov
I am easily and frequently confused

h...
my dumb ass thought sideways in the position sense
me too
there's suicidal tendencies, black flag, X, Agent Orange, these are the classic ones so the audio quality isnt the best but they are important
although I have only tried like two three others so y'all can recommend punk bands especially heavier ones
yeah I know enough about punk to know that sound quality does not matter at all
letov has absolutely horrendous sound quality
there's also D.O.A.
and T.S.O.L.
and uhhh OFF!
i cant exactly recommend entire artists since the genre shines best due to it's variety and contributions
are there like entering compilations or I can just search them in youtube and listen to the most popular songs
i guess there's spotify playlists of essential songs
but i got some favs too
the GTA V Radio X station has some bangers too
so search the songs from there too
ah, spotify is unavailable in russia
the exploited
suicidal tendencies is pretty cool they're pure fed paranoia material
if you look at their lyrics at least
it's 80's political commentary after all
hip hop and punk went hand in hand back in these days aka 80's and 90's
the only punk bands I tried other than letov and refused were the offspring and a russian band with a very inappropriate name it's uhhh adult films but said inappopriately and I didn't like that the voice didn't harmonize with itself and the music although harmonize is probably the wrong word because letov and refused aren't harmonic either but it's just different, offspring and "adult films" their sound just didn't work together for me
actually I might give the "adult films" another try
Adolescents is pretty gud too
I'm not calling them their name cuz the bot probably won't like it
suicidal tendencies? wow, they must be really bad
bah
I've just listened to few songs of suicidal tendencies rn and so far they're the same as offspring, their sounds just don't work together
wait summer started wtf
the exploited sounds very nice tho
today i've seen a giant fat fly trying to bump into my monitor. somehow it didn't care about bugnets on the window.
and then i was like, "oh right, it's june
"
apparently guitar is very hard to play nobody couldve warned me of this
(everyone did)
some chords demand really long or bendable fingers, so it is true
especially when one has to play them fast
i suck at strings
never put me near strings i simply cant
piano and harmonica is doable tho
cause i actually know how to play both
my fingers are very bendu
but remembering things is hard
ALSO
strumming
like i already have to learn the chords why do i have to learn all these patterns too
up downupdown
no! its down up down up
but what abouit down up up down up up down up down up
I'm a big fan of down down down downupdown
how is it called in english when you strum down and stop your palm and press down the strings with it
also barre was one of the hardest things when I tried learning guitar
is it jsut me or have embeds been failing all day
Embeds working feels like rng some days ngl

Interviewing an applicant
Me: from 1 to 5, how much do you like coffee?
Applicant: 2
Me: that's not a lot
Applicant: I don't like coffee much
Me: you do know you're applying for barista... right?
I feel like ive heard this story before
I may have said it before 
You did!
LMAO
AHAHAHAHHAAH
dammit
uh
ye
usually in this stage, I'd delete the new one to save face from embarrassment
but nah
okay here's another one that I may or may not have checked before hand
A regular brought her doggo for the first time. I was on my desk organizing schedules. The doggo just sprinted to my place and smelled my sandals.
was like
uh
hello, buddy 
aww
i wouldve had to physically stop myself from stealing the dog from the person
there's one that isn't a regular but came in enough times for me to remember. She usually stays at second floor. Whenever our second floor is empty (usually at 8 to 10 AM), the corgi would zoom from one end to another.
some times bark at me whlist serving her drink

but when there are people, the woman doesn't let the doggo the authority to zoom
the zooms cannot be contained
isn't that just adorable
unfortunately, i don't think my big dum could be allowed in such a place.. unless customers will be okay with fur-flavored coffee
I've yet to see someone brings in their woofer
the ones I've seen are french bulldog (the regular I talked about), corgis, and poms
smol ones
discrimination against big dogs is real 
i've only ever had big dogs, always had to tie them outside shops and cafes, sadly
see i would love to bring koa into public places but the problem is he's both reactive and has an amazing trait of Getting in the way at All Times
like oh a hallway? not anymore
you want to open your door? hah, no
biggest boi i've ever seen in a public place was an american akita in the nearest shop
it was very calm and polite cloud
biggest doggo I've seen is my cousin's chow chow, unimaginatively named Chowie
he um
hmmm
how should I put this in a funny way that does not break the rule?
he played with my leg
once

i saw a greyhound irl once, theyre skinny but very big... also very elegant
The biggest dog I've seen is I think a saint bernard? Not sure it was pretty long ago
Ello!
I feel kinda silly, I've been deeply inspired by Supergiant's creations for years and years but somehow I never realised I could just.... join the fandom and have a place to share about it
welcome!
@bronze lintel I don't like coffee that much but I'm pretty good at faking enthusiasm, can I have a job?
fake it by saying 4
I don't like lying, but I'll tell customers that its a rich bodied brew that lends itself most to pour-overs and has a light floral nose, a strong hazelnut front with a lingering cinnamon and cardamom aftertaste with a lot of fake enthusaism
From January 1945 until at least January 1946, he attended Piedmont High School, but was asked to leave for writing an obscene suggestion to a school official on the athletic field scoreboard and for burning an effigy on the school lawn, on top of other school infractions.
You know, before reading his wikipedia article I didn't really have meaningful opinions about Clint Eastwood but this endears him to me a lot.
doesn't he also have some unpleasant right-leaning opinions though
probably
he apparently was stationed at Fort Ord for the korean war and his job there was apparently, primarily, lifeguard.
Newfoundland Dogs are very big and very polite too, usually. Pretty rare to see one even in Newfoundland these days though.
I desperately want to live in a place and have a job that would make having irish wolfhounds feasible
I love their scruffy faces and they're SO BIG
surprisingly big
the first time i saw one live, i was like, oh, the scale doesn't translate well in photos
become an irish wolfhound trainer
also i googled it: "Wolves weigh an average of 80 to 150 pounds, while Irish Wolfhounds outweigh them, averaging at 130 to 160 pounds. Something that may surprise you is the fact that the Irish wolfhound is bigger than the average wolf, regardless of gender."
which like wow
my favorite thing to come out of pride month this year are these memes
started from some twitter blue subscriber being entirely geniune with pride month -> demon
the moth one is hilarious
Irish wolfhounds are closer to couches than dogs
pride month memes are always so good ngl
most fun month after january(winter is still more fun)
I should probably drink tea in smaller portions of volume per minute

Oh honestly i have no idea where the source to the two i posted are lmfao my friend just sent them to me
Will try though!
The first one you posted is in the thread I just linked :3
Ohhh
honestly, without diclosing too much info, I'd take any fake enthusiasm as long as you are dependable 
congrats on the turnaround!
well i havent been using it for a very long while but i wanted to keep in touch with some people and be able to look at stuff jic so i left it up
but it really was about time
reason why I haven't deleted mine is for some reason, my timeline is filled with game dev stuff
why did you even have multiple
people havving a main account and a private account isn't uncommon
others also have a sfw and a nsfw accounts
Nsfw account about unsafe work practices
violating osha on twt
Yeah as aggy said I had a main and personal account, though I’ve long deleted like all tweets and retweets from both. As well as a fresh account I made when I tried to return to twitter a little bit (did not work)
also I had a quotes bot for a game but it is defunct since the api thing
I know it's against the concept but I wish you could exclude retweets from some accounts, like I wanna follow some art accounts but they have like 30k tweets plus even more retweets and it's soooo much
I am pretty sure you can turn off rts?
wait how have i never found this setting LOL
congrats on getting well!
Happy pride month everyone
r/vexillologycirclejerk is the best
r/flags > r/vexillology tbh
i dont even follow the main subs, just the cj ones
Lmao fair
dang actually i just realized the link i just posted contained some swearing 😔
in the title anyway
thanks i hate it
Just remembered something. Back when I went though CT scan for my leg, the handler(?) Got me noise cancelling headphones and play songs in there. Popular songs mostly, some K-pop, coldplay and so on
I was drifting to sleep
But then

I kinda hate fish for the most part but tuna pashtet is just... Incroyable
here's a ☕
for storytelling purposes: how big does an isolated city state have to be to require at least one lawyer
5 people in my opinion
5.... so we have judge, defendant, defender, prosecutor, and victim!
i think it at least partly depends on the justice/law enforcement system
like are tons of people being charged w crimes frequently or is it like. twice a yr kind of deal.
I guess that does beg the question of how big does an isolated city state need to be for a formalized system for the redress of grievances
caffiene has finally been applied

guess who keeps not practicing their guitar ((me))
you should practice your guitar 
Im watching a show right now!!
I gotta live post to will!
After though
Also i’m going to the guitar store tomorrow to get a hard case and some other stuff
i will do it now!!!
heck yeah!
my fingers hurt
sounds like progress
my desktop is so clean now its uncomfortable...
i have a wallpaper slideshow going though its great
saaame ive been keeping it very clean (for the most part)! i made my wallpaper the picture of zag and mel from the steam sale a bit back bc i thought it looked cool
that wallpaper looks so good 👀
lovely!
woah
also the bar being at the top... i have a friend who has it to the left but i dont think i ever saw that before
My dad has the bar on the top
i like having some icons so its not too empty and so i can access them conveniently without necessarily pinning them, but when it gets too much i have to do some desktop organizing
I used to linux and ubuntu put the bar at the top and now I"m stuck with it
windows 11 forced the bar to the bottom and enough programs just can't imagine folks having a preference other than the bottom
I never cleaned my desktop, I just put it on auto sort
I should probably just get used to it
wait why do our ea icons look different 🤔
is yours the new app or origin? because I can imagine that icon being either ¯_(ツ)_/¯
its different here
mine is the new app
also i have to clean and organize my desktop or else the icons would cover half the screen and i really dont want that (again)
How did usa justify hiroshima and nagasaki, does anyone know
main justification: if the bombs hadn’t been used, the japanese would not have surrendered, leading to a war that would have dragged on for much longer than it did and costed more lives
plenty of debate still over whether that really justified literally choosing the nuclear option, though
The firebombing of tokyo, on the other hand...
That moment when you get call from your job at 8 PM that customer's servers likely were attacked as there are some unrecognized login attempts, so you spend two hours investigating only to find out they had a normal security scanning that attempts common username/password combinations and there's no actual incident at all
...
also they could bomb like a million different things that are not heavily populated cities
meanwhile russian propaganda: "US never admitted their responsibility for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, they tried to forge evidences that the usage of nuclear weapon against completely innocent nation was done by USSR"
cold war was very silly
i've even heard a take that those cities were japanese centers of orthodox christian church
man. our "political experts" have to write historical fictions. such talents wasted.
btw if tis okay could you send me that wallpaper? would love to add it to my slideshow
right now i have like uhh
82
i think
;literally half of that is rain world 💀
Asexual gluttony(devouring of garlic bread and cake)
Pangender greed(keeps all genders to themself)
Pansexual polyamorous lust(is lusting after everyone at once)

one of the only good things to come out of rick and morty
that’s an impressive amount of wallpapers woah. And yes I will send it later!
do you want all of my boring abstract geometry backgrounds?
maybe!
Sleeping at night doesn't make sense, the day is safer so logically you would choose to be more vulnerable during the day, right?
This argument only works before invention of a lantern
Sleep under the sun in a see through hammock with a mirror redirecting the light on the bottom of you as well to get 360° sun coverage
oh you’re talking about with modern day technology
still, we can’t see at night without help
we’d probably get used to it, but then the day would be too bright
its not fun to sleep during the day, waking up to just darkness is depressing
Where I live it's not dark in the summer at night tbh
But also I hate the sun and love gloomy dark weather
Day is just suffering for me because the sun is aggressive and shoots me in the head with it's rays
And not very bright in the day in winter
like, not only because most of everyone is asleep and nothing is happening unless you specifically go out and do something, but because not seeing any sunlight or at least daylight for so many days is literally depressing
you could get sunglasses and a hat
Cannot relate
I love not seeing sunlight for weeks
Which happens here not sure how frequent but it does
Also I love when nothing is happening because it's quiet when nothing is happening
I specifically love early morning because there's the least amount of things happening and it's way quieter than even at night and also birds are chirping if it's summer they're pretty cool
Iirc official statistic is that there are around 70 days with sun in my city on average in a year
idk when my sleep schedule was flipped for so long that i thought i could not turn it back ever i was sad as hell all the time bc while i got to hang out with friends i could not make food bc everyone was asleep, i could not go out of my room and actually see other people in the house, and only seeing lamp light and not much daylight was not enough for me
i relate to the early morning thing btw its 5 am for me rn
birds and the day outside slowly getting brighter is so cool
and i also relate to the sun thing, it was 40 degrees here for a couple of days so i didnt go outside at all
but what can you do
better to see light in the window outside
All of my friends either live in a very different time zone or have even more messed up sleep schedules than me and I don't make any food because I don't eat almost anything except tea
Holy hell same timezone

thats genuinely unhealthy
i'd 100% be a morning person if i didn't feel the urge to sleep through it all the time
yeah i thought it might be the same timezone lol
Except here it's already as bright as it gonna get since like 3:30
before my body started waking me up at 4 am like clockwork for no discernable reason i would wake up at 7:30 at the latest
Well I mean I sometimes eat like soup or macaroni but like once a week max and also more frequently sausages with sriracha
malnutrition is really serious
its still pretty unhealthy, you should eat like, multiple times a day even if it is small meals
I also eat gingerbread with tea and I also drink milk and my tea is half milk and I drink very much tea and milk and milk is nutritious right like babies survive on just milk even whale babies which are bigger than humans although their milk is probably more nutritious
i cant tell if youre joking but thats not enough at all
it may be useful to look up what lack of food does to the mind and body, as well as vitamin deficiencies
Well I don't want to eat so I never remember about it
you could set some alarms
or alerts, however its called
repeating at set times, so you know you need to eat
Joking ig but it's still not nothing
you should also eat some fruit if you dont bc even if its very sweet its also very healthy
I eat some occasionally like we usually have apples at home
I can't force myself to eat though and I don't have appetite
im a fan of bananas and apples as well as some more seasonal fruit like strawberries and mango. also recently i discovered im ok with eating the occasional pear
Oh yeah I also like bananas and eat them occasionally
Strawberries and mango are expensive tho
eating small bits is a good way to get an appetite back. when you lose your appetite, you have retrain your body into having an appetite again, basically
Also tangerines or mandarines I forget which is it called they're very good I always eat them in big quantities when it's their season
tangerines and mandarins are pretty good
i used to barely eat as well but its better to eat healthy than barely eat
rn i used to eat a bit too much and not healthy things so i have been trying to eat less sweets and such and once i got the ball rolling on not eating absurd amounts of chocolate its pretty easy and fun
i've been in the same place
for what it's worth, i went too far in the other direction and got way too anxious about eating too little, to the point where it affected my day to day
so, it's good to keep an eye on what you're eating and your energy levels, but, well, also to relax about it a bit
it's a line to walk
very true
Also all of food we have is boring and eating boring food is a lot of effort if I'm not in a phase when I just love a specific dish that's usually boring and eat it everyday for like a week or two and then don't eat it for months
And like if I was very hungry and excited about it I could make cool food like a soup from those boring foods but I'm not
i lost my appetite almost completely when i started taking a new medication for my epilepsy and at first it really scared me but then i leaned into it a little which was not good
then when the effect stopped very suddenly i started eating with maybe too much appetite which was also not very good
so it really is a fine line but you should definitely walk it instead of staying on one side
I think I lost my appetite somewhere around when covid started idk if it's related
It could be way before covid tbh my memory sucks
i dont know what is boring food to you but what do you like to eat?
i actually like eating the same thing all the time, or certain foods on certain days of the week
Well exactly, I don't know what I like to eat, well of course I like expensive food like pizza but from normal food I don't know what I like, I usually like something a lot and then stop liking it a lot, I guess I like soups in general however either it's a lot of effort to cook them or if you buy like a ready mix for a soup like those packets idk what they're called or just ready soup to be warmed in a microwave or something it's then too expensive
Boring food is like, grain, macaroni, potatoes, other vegetables maybe
Broccoli is a not a boring vegetable but carrots are boring for example
oh i like those lol my taste is very mild
Yeah I mean I also like all of those in some sense but I'm just not excited about them in a simple form and for me it's always very very hard to do anything that's not exciting
i find vegetables not boring in general but im not a fan of carrot in anything else but juice, bc as a root its too sweet for me
Except cabbage, I hate cabbage, raw cabbage is sometimes fine but cooked cabbage smells like a corpse
its worth putting in the effort to make them into things that are not boring to you if you end up actually eating
I don't like carrots cuz it's hard to bite and also like half of the time it's bitter maybe we just got bad carrots or bad carrot luck
I like liquids like soup and milk
i think i ate raw cabbage like once or twice in my entire life and it wasnt horrible for me but i didnt particularly like it. tastes kind of just like water
that you can chew
Yeah I mean that's basically half of vegetables in a nutshell
Also once or twice? That's surprising but I think cabbage is historically more popular in eastern europe and not really anywhere else but I'm not sure
Also I like to eat things like tuna pashtet but they are like pizza are too expensive to eat regularly
i think i didnt even try hummus until like last year and it turns out i do like it, but not when its store bought bc then it tastes straight up toxic to me
I've only tried store bought hummus like 3 times and didn't like it either of them
im also not a tahini fan unless its in other foods ...like sweets LOL
i love cabbage
number one cabbage fan right here
but i 100% get why someone wouldnt like it
homemade or restaurant made hummus is leagues better than storebought, it has a different texture and simply tastes better when you can season it the way you like and its not just processed garbage with no flavor
Does it also smell like a corpse to you when it's cooked and you like it or does it only smell like a corpse to me specifically because I don't like it
I guess I'll give it a try someday in homemade or restaurant form
if you have a food processor you could try making it with chickpeas and then add garlic, lemon and olive oil to your taste
i mean i usually eat mine with other things that kinda cover up the smell but even when it does smell i just power through it bc i like the taste
meant to reply whoops
what's a food processor
Ah that makes sense
this thing
blender is a bit different
That looks like a juicer/blender hybrid
it Blends instead of cutting food into very small bits
so youll end up with juice. dont know what will happen if you try to make hummus in it but itll probably have a different texture
it seems not right to me LOL since i largely use blenders to make smoothies. well we dont have one rn but we used to have a small one
i use a blender to make tomato sauce
Alright I checked and all the food currently in the house excluding stuff like spices and tea is: 11 types of grain, 3 types of macaroni, potatoes, some tomatoes, pears, apples, cabbage, salad leaves, beet, several different frozen vegetable mixes, frozen ground meat pack, and two frozen sausages
There are also like sauce pack thingies that are for making soup like you add them to the water and they have flavour in them there's four of them
Also butter and some shrimps in uh idk some weird liquid I don't like them
That is all
All of above I consider boring food except the sauce pack soup thingies
Doesn't it blend by cutting food into small bits
Like uhh all blenders have sharp knives
Does this thing just have like bigger bits it chops stuff into
i dont know how to explain the difference but maybe wikipedia can do it better
i thought your profile frame was a discord frame and then i got disappointed when i went to go check and they only had the birthday ones :(
Hm wikipedia says food processor can work without liquid and blenders can't like I didn't know blenders needed liquid
Common discord L
my mom makes potatoes by putting them in the oven with olive oil, salt, garlic powder and black pepper, and some thyme
way less boring than like, mashed potatoes imo
roasted potatoes 👌
that would be so cool tbh @ Discord pls make pride frames
but do you want one i can make you one rq i think
nah its ok :)
Have you guys been into a hobby/game and found out something you prob should've known like... first few hours into it?
and would've prob helped you or even save yourself from some of the troubles you've encountered?
Yes but I don't remember exactly which and what and why and how
Many times
Tbh single digits of hours is way not enough to understand how something works so it's alright
Like I literally didn't know I could charge the battery of the flashlight until way towards the end of metro last light
That's not a very impactful case but still
Not when you turn that hobby to your profession 
recently in limbus company, i didnt know you had to click and hold characters portraits to upgrade them
or to use the special abilities
i think my friends told me about it at least 20 hours in
y e ah
I didn't know I'm a girl until like 120 thousand hours into life
I didn't know how to fold V60 coffee filter properly
and i'm like... 5 years into the hobby
and 3 years into the industry

That's uh
44 thousand hours into hobby
yep
Mhm
instant porrige, pasta with different spices, frozen dumplings and some fruits that don't need to be peeled
that's how i lived for a couple of years. lost a good amount of weight too
now i live with relatives, and there's a lot of meat, cabbage and potatos.. and many other healthy things..
and now im fat again
and yes, i can relate with daytime sleep, i just can't force myself to sleep when everything is silent and dark, and nobody is around to help if something happens
also, second part of the day, when sun goes to south-west, is just the saddest time
all the worst things in my life happened at that time at sunny weather
so i'd prefer to skip it somehow, shutting the blinds/curtains or sleeping
or live normally when it's cloudy enough
I need more cabbage in my diet 😔
Time to make pilaf with ground beef!
cabbage is okay, even when cooked, but when it's on an everyday basis in every soup.. gets kinda annoying
+1, pilaf is a perfect thing
if cooked right, it doesn't need any kind of sauces
Ok I agree that ancient Greece was inclusive
if we're talking about among the slaves
among the slaves were different races and whoever
but masters were the greeks only though
My knowledge of anything Greek ends at their mythos and tzatziki I'm sorry to say 😦
Have you seen Moonlight?
we need to have some examples of sjw content to really apprehend how are thing with this in Hades
a what content?
any piece of media
movie, game, tv show
i mean if we compare Hades with something like last couple of seasons of The Walking Dead
no, i meant what do you mean by sjw
i might not, enlighten me
social justice warrior, liberal propaganda and whatnot
we were discussing in another topic whether or not Hades is sjw
and my argument that it's not
was it on this server?
in hades 2 discussion
ah, i see
wow i really lost some braincells reading that
okay this is even more braindead than I thought I'm gonna steer clear of that chat
Overwatch, there you go. blizzard cares not about any kind of minorities, but tries everything to show that it does. not even trying to work on the characters.
rumors say that there was a tool for measuring the inclusivity of every character to change the backstory. devs disapprove any usage of it.
speaking of cabbage
i need to check if kvass appeared in stores. in 32+ celsius would be nice to have some reserved
and it's already out of stock. people managed to sweep it off the shelves
I have been buying kvass regularly for like a week already or two
The legendary lidskiy kvass
I'm executive dysfunctioning!
32 is cool here
10 is hot here
200 is hot here
it’s all relative in a place with four seasons
in the summer, 30 is way too hot
in the winter, 0 is
hoodie in summer????
25 would probably be my cutoff. but i'm pretty lucky that this criteria can be met where i live
Always hoodie
i have a nice 3/4 sleeve lightweight cotton zip up hoodie that i use to death in summer
I wear that inside at home but I could never go outside with that (oxenfree merch hoodie my beloved)
it gets to above 40 where i am, not too regularly but sometimes
so i would say high 30s is too warm for me
and too cold is probably somewhere less than 15
I lived in a place where it was regularly 40 in summer
Very bad
Comfortable temperature for me is like -20 to +10
-20 
me when hades dont let me see my mother: https://youtu.be/37cweh3kM6U
This is the original clip
The coldest temperature I've experienced is around -40 and I guess it's also cool but it's so cold you need minimum five layers of clothing and that's uncomfortable and in -20 you only need two so it's nice

tomorrow it'll be 35.. day after tomorrow 36
it's planned to cancel regular cargo hauls so that trucks wouldn't knead up the asphalt
Siberia 
Asphalt get's so sticky in 30+ and above
Fahrenheit be like.. 0 - pretty cold, 100 - pretty hot
Celsius be like: 0 - somewhat cold, 100 - ded
Kelvin: 0 - ded, 100 - ded
And in 40+ it's already gooeying
It's probably possible to chew it in like 45 weather
Idk why would anyone do that but the opportunity is there
the opportunity is there!
Real
In that weather it's also under the sun all the time though so it's way way hotter than 40 degrees
The heat is felt through the sandals
It probably would just burn my tongue
Probably it tastes like rocks and resin
Well new overpriced apple device
a goofy ass VR headset for 3500 dollars
Valve Index is 1000 dollars and it can play games
Like, what a VR headset is meant to do but who would get one for other things than games

well this is dystopic af
I wouldn't call it dystopic, but voice input's gonna be iffy and the 'you can see them and they can see you' moment is hilarious, because they can basically only see a very dim pair of eyes behind ski goggles
Entirely my opinion on consoles
They're so expensive and yet they only have one function
That sounds like "Immerse into the full experience of communication in -50°C on a mountain but without the fun nature part"
to be fair playstations also serve as blu ray players
Why buy blu ray when you can download everything for free
You mean like on a disk that has less capacity and is not on a box? Cuz hdd's are also physical disk just more capacity and in a box
Also you can just buy empty disks and download movies on them and glue printed pictures of the movie that is on them ig
Or I guess you can't glue anything on a disk nvm
Tbh people wouldnt bother putting stuff on disks
Then uhh what's the point
Physical media is awesome that's why
I mean like surely buying blank disks is less expensive than full ones
my point is that putting the stuff on blank disks is more hassle than just getting the actual thing
the effort to put the stuff into them is surely not that great you would rather pay more money than to do it
I think there are better ways to spend your money than on a piece of plastic you can recreate in several minute like I don't get it how is it worth the money and also isn't it more satisfying to do stuff yourself
Blu ray burners are 100 dollars a pop. At least the ones with USB-C on them. And idk about you, I never feel satisfaction from burning things to a disk. 
I just realized that "to drown something" and "to sustain a fire by adding fuel to it" is the same word in russian
Barista is a verb???
I am both roaster and barista 
Dog has been de-stitched and de-coned
Ayyy
PC case is here!!
Does anyone else find it way harder to stop reading than to stop anything else like even scrolling social media or gaming
yep. “just one more chapter” and then another hour or two or three pass you by
Or ten
LED light up fans refrigerator
Lian Li 216?
I definitely didn't just guess based on the size of the front fans and the hard to make out logo on the back of them 🙂
Tis a good case regardless :3
Me watching apple event:
https://youtu.be/37cweh3kM6U
This is the original clip
I never understood the Apple hype after Steve Jobs
At least back then they had an image and felt like innovation
everything at the apple WWDC 2023 was awesome besides the vision thing
they literally had Kojima on it
hello supergiants
"supple woven cable" is so funny
imagine a handheld gun that fires apfsds rounds that would be funny
Basically a crossbow but firearm
one shot, minus tank, minus hands
Prosthetic replaceable hands come in the package and they have to be changed after evey shot that's just the part of the reload
Probably maximum bearable caliber of a handheld apfsds gun would be like 10 mm or less
Not sure how much more power does an apfsds gun need than a rifle for the same accuracy and range
But also, power won't be lost from having to spin it
So idk 10 mm is my guess
It would be even cooler and funnier if it's a bolt action gun
Imagine the precise machining needed for making apfsds round that caliber lmao
If I'm ever writing something with firearms I'll definitely add it
teehee
Did they stop the name changing or are they still doing it?
They're still doing it sadly
Cringe
Yeeeeep 🙂
this hasn't been implemented yet, I'm assuming?
also, Aggy, how dare you join discord precisely 25 days before I did.
Nah, that ss is from a friend. Guess they just got it really early
I'm sorry, I'll hack my account to make it say we joined the same day
is there any function to them beside freeing a line in bio
it's rad that they are a separate thing tho
also having god as pronoun is cool as heck may steal that from your friend in the future
Wait we can update pronouns now
Does anyone have any idea on what a "super react" is
theyre funny ifyou time them right tbh
oh hey I remember taking that the results are out already?
nice
Hey i participated this time!
Nice :3
I don't really remember what was there and what I answered but it seems the only words that I chose that are in top 10 popularity chart is trans and transgender which is interesting
I'm happy that the gender census is something that exists :3
yeah it's cool
also it's weird how in age group 30 and under he him pronouns are twice as popular as they are in age group 31 and over
was supposed to exist long ago tbh
he him pronouns are the new gender meta after they them it seems
never took a part in any, though.. well, maybe someday
bruh the google docs tabs icon when you have a morbillion tabs open looks like the catholic's symbol
gonna try to find my response in the data sheet
wish me luck I don't know how to use excel or similar things
shotout to the random person who identifies as a legend, very nice
goddamn there are some nice answers, people are so creative with gender
yooo I found my answer letsgooo
hmm only 0.3% have "god" somewhere in their identity or pronounce text boxes
2.47% have "cat"!
maia arson crimew finally getting the rep she deserves
0.74% are from russia
I'm really adding to some real rare statistics huh
what is the overlap between cat god russia I wonder
statistically it's likely I'm the only one with all three
or I think it's likely I don't actually know any statistics
that kinda reminds me of questionaries that were popular till around late 00s.. people also were pretty creative
sweet times when people could post whatever they want in socials
no but it will open again
ok
i have acquired the flag ring on my pfp
They tend to run it yearly
And I'll probably post it here when it does open up again
what is it measuring ?
i find the data kinda hard to read so im kinda confused
im also not the smartest lol
it is... measuring
in order to measure
]
basically identity statistics idk how to explain otherwise
copied from their FAQ
Back in 2013 I noticed that there was a lot of confusion about the language used by nonbinary people to describe themselves. This title was the best/most popular among gender non-conforming people, the real nonbinary pronoun was that, no one who is really genderqueer calls themself x… And I thought, no one is basing any of this on anything reliable, are they? Wouldn’t it be cool if someone actually asked as many people as possible how they identify, anonymously and neutrally, and then people could say things and back it up with some numbers? So I did it.
And then, a little over a year later, I wondered if any of those popular words were still popular, or whether they were being overtaken by something new and more suitable. Are there any neopronouns that are becoming more popular, that I can make cis people more aware of and consider using for myself? Wouldn’t it be cool if I just… ran the same survey again, to see if anything has changed?```
So I annoying-reacted Alma? Unbelievable

Ty for sharing that link, Aggy
🤝
also i just heard 2015 discord users iust got their new username prompts yesterday
Discord has begun rolling out access to the username update for 2015 users who have a Discord Nitro subscription active since before March 1, 2023, as well as 2015 users who are Early Supporters (purchased Discord Nitro before October 10, 2018).
1054
they hit me with the stupid update earlier, i want my discriminators back >:(
oh huh yeah, at least you got the user
man why are they even doing this it serves no purpose
i didnt get it yet but im so used to my numbers :( also alma is taken so idk what ill choose
I know the reasons they stated but those a stupid reasons :((
my friend already got a friend request from someone who presumably wants their username. lol
oh yeah account selling has already started
"discriminators are sooo hard for our users to remember and so complicated
so we're going to be like twitter or instagram or whatever and have unique usernames and encourage you to add numbers to yours anyway if the one you wanted is already taken"
be so for real
you can apparently get text colors now though which slaps https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/291184728944410624/1115907323391639612/image.png
I mean.. won't those people still get away with their crap by just creating new accounts?
oh yeah and on top of them going forward with this stupid username thing anyway, they also broke search. its not broke for everyone but its been going on for a few days now and primarily hits individual dms, search straight up wont pull up anything from prior to it breaking. very incredibly aggravating ← guy whose search is broke 
they better
yeah i dont think they will straight up remove search
i only started hearing about it today but its been reported since about 4 days ago, today the amount of people complaining/asking about it increased quite a bit
At least I already have a name picked because there's no chance "God" isn't gonna be taken when the name change gets to me
thats probably a name someone is reselling for like actual thousands lmao
search in dms working for me
god i wish that were me
in servers as well
i dont think its broke in servers, or at least it seems to mainly hit dms
maybe its for people who changed their usernames already?
That may be the case, yea
nope
hmm
madcar got the username thing today also and his search is still working
we searched a thing and his came up 137 results and mine only came up the couple i mentioned literally durin that convo lol
extremely annoying bc i search dm a lot for old convos 🤪
yeah same :/
Same
but mine found all results so i pray
I almost never dm
well just because you dont dm people doesnt mean its not a big issue
I search sometimes for things in dms tho
Search seems to be working for me but like half of the time, weird, like I search a thing that was one of the last messages and for some messages it works and for some not
What name?
Not gonna reveal it cuz I'm worried that 72k member server there will be someone who'll try to steal it
How much is winter autumn and spring are going for
if whoever has them isnt attached to them, easy 1k+
I have a friend who has DID named autumn (and then her alter is winter) so rip them 💀
Domain hunting brought to your local VOIP platform
so cool that discord has opened up black market username sales 🙄
wth
do they think someone is going to shell out 10k usd for a discord username
absurd
Well.. thinking back at NFTs.. someone prolly will pay that much for it
if they bring back discriminators due to backlash or this being literally idiotic itll be so funny
Will there be enough backlash for them to care tho? Don't know if a lot of users care
im sure they will once their @ is taken
and yeah ive seen a lot of people angry about this
more than people who are happy about this
10k is a pretty extreme example but there are a bunch of people trying to offer several hundreds for desirable usernames. the more desirable the higher the price
so stupid
going to get my hands on some unique universe and sell it for fabric money (obviously joking)
COMING NEXT: no more seeing when people are typing
There are people that are rich enough to not perceive 10k as a lot of money and thus would be ready to buy it
no more channels actually, we now have posts
Coming next: you can't see what people have typed
Coming next: all the needless functions are being removed the app is now a trading platform for names
i hate the corporatization of the internet so much 
everything is being corrupted by this mindset all over the world sadly
its a bit stupid that you cant type ur username in different alphabets
well, a lot stupid
like cmon...
Oh that would be awesome!
gonna change my name to sapphischsirenen
this is such a hard question you dont understand
big strawberry fan
<- sterotypical cottagecore lesbian
then multiple fruit :]
ive been very into pears lately but mango is one of the best imo
and lychee...
nooo
i dont think i like guava but i dont remember the last time i ate it
i also dont like nectarines
but i love plums
mango
YAYY mango gang 🥭
opposites....
i also rlly like blueberries and raspberries
thinking of it, i liked peaches, unitll developing an allergy to their fur.. so shifted to nectarines
maybe i just like them bc they are available like two months a year
not enough time to get used to them
now this i agree with\
i used to love green apples but ate too many
ive been trying to eat healthier (going very well) so whenever i want something sweet i eat fruit instead of an absurd amount of chocolate like i did beforehand, ive been doing it for like 2 weeks at most but its amazing how quickly the want for sugar that isnt from fruit all but disappears
Moroccan tangerines were also great back in the day.. now most are turkish, and they are too different
i like apricots a lot also
i havent eaten an apricot in a long time
i dont remember liking them either very much bc theyre so sweet, especially dried
maybe should try that as well.. what kind of fruits are better for it?
i love both
me too tbh
same. for some reason when they appear in stores, they're either green and stone hard, or spoiled
strawberry
ah, right, Victoria season each year
tons and tons of strawberry from everybody's gardens
🤝 \
i do not like pineapples or bananas tho
apricots are amazing and dried apricot more known as kuraga is something that just basically everyone knows and loves
i dont really know but what ive been doing is dropping chocolate for fruit like pears, bananas etc. whatever we have that i like, and eating salad once a day (if i dont get lazy) as well as lowering the amount of salty snacks i eat as well
🤝
I absolutely love bananas
hate pineappless tho
however!
canned pineapples are so good...
i forgot about bananas until now. i didnt like dates until recently but a banana and dates smoothie is so good (especially with melons). very very sweet though depending on how many dates you put in it
even if there's like 2 liters of it it still only lasts mere minutes
oh my god i googled dates and turns out it's how finiks are called in english 💀
yeah dates is a weird name... called tamar here
water or milk makes up for it
mainland bananas are horrible but apple bananas here are excellent
we do not have sorts of bananas here we just have bananas
im spoiled in terms of bananas
Sounds like I'm a banana pleb
yeah and theyre very sweet, and go well with almost anything you can make a smoothie out of probably and you dont really taste them, just the sweetness
Are there more kinds of bananas than just the ones you see in store?
though you could add silan as a substitute i guess
Where does one find said mystery bananas?
mango and persimmon
hawaii
I think I've only ever seen the small ones which taste just like the "regular" kind
Ah.. I'll have to visit then!
persimmon? based opinion detected
Grapefruit
the one im referring to are latundan banana (i googled it)
