honestly for a home server i’d be happy with like 10 minutes battery life, just need enough to let the computer survive tripping a breaker and resetting it.
an actual outage is basically an act of god and not worth worrying about for something you can just… push the power button on
hm, isn’t that just how all grammatical gender works?
tbf i empathize, sweden has remnant gendering and hearing someone use the wrong suffix makes me barely able to parse it as the same word
hell in some cases it literally just ends up being a different word, “the table” is “bordet” but “the tables” is “borden”, while “the chair” is “stolen”
it’ll be interesting to see if this changes in the future, considering we have a significant diaspora of middle-eastern immigrants who just give up and use “-et” for everything.
“why would i be appalled? i’ve been on the internet since a kid, i’ve seen everything, this shit ain’t nothing to me man”
abstinence just makes it all that more fun when you do have a go
no thanks for their contributions, take the contributions but don’t thank them for it.
You made this? nope, you’ve forfeited your right to claim authorship of it, it’s ours now, get fucked
this is why i think what’s needed is for people to wholesale rewrite things, let the people with emotional investment rip out the good bits and make them their own, it’s both therapy for the new author and rehabilitation for the work.
pay someone to print you an “illegal” copy, or to get you a DRM-free e-book copy.
“oh yeah look at those undertones, that’s the good shit, OH YES THAT’S THINLY VEILED SLAVERY OOOO”
bury his name, rip the story and setting out of his creepy hands and reclaim it. Write fanfiction that specifically shits on rapey shitheads.
the first movies are pretty decent, but i do not fathom how it continued past… idk, the fourth? and then became a different series set in the same universe
like the setting is interesting but not that interesting, and it very much falls apart if you scrutinize it too close. It’s basically just a theme park in story form: good atmosphere and some specific memorable bits, but it’s only good if you go there for a few hours then leave and go on with your life and maybe revisit every few years.
i’m a believer that we should just consider the works forfeited to the public domain and let the author’s name be forgotten to time, let the future think of it as we think about german fairytales.
honestly even without it being the same as a slur it would only sound right coming from an aussie, otherwise it doesn’t feel like a natural shortening
well what bout delivery that isn’t same-day then? same-day delivery is completely bonkers to expect
there’s a cheat code called “not giving a fuck” where you just say “die” or “das” for every word, and natives will just cringe slightly and then forget about it
it’s a lot manlier and cooler to stand in the water and grab the fish with your bare hands anyways, then you can look it in the face and tell it to fear god before letting it go
this is just canonically accurate firebending
