I’m pretty sure if you’re paying for it, that’s not love.
Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

Didnt we already know that elon opened starlink to the russians? I thought he announced after that call with putin?
Oh yeah, I see that. No idea what I thought it said.
Yep. Pence is the one with lady blinders, like a horse, to protect him from seeing things that might scare and confuse him.
Y’all … You guys … you’re
Let’s ignore the question of what you think moralizing is if you saw it in the eight words you replied to. What I’m curious about is, do you think you’re talking to Hezbollah? On Lemmy?
part of God’s plan
Netanhayu’s not god, he’s just a brutal lying tyrant with no respect for human life - so I can see how you’d get confused.
Yep! In my experience it’s awful and it stays awful for ever.
But just like with going to work, over time you come to accept that existence is suffering.
“Chinese” mummies is a bit misleading. The Tarim Basin has a long history of Chinese rule/influence, but not that far back.
These mummies are from a unique population that descended largely from Ancient North Eurasians, a group who contributed smaller percentages of ancestry to Northern Chinese people, Europeans, Siberians and Native Americans.
So these cheese enthusiasts are less Chinese and more like distant foreign relatives to the Chinese who adopted dairy-heavy pastoralism after it expanded through the steppe.
The funny thing is that actual chinese snake oil was incredibly effective at alleviating things like joint pain or some skin conditions. It has higher concentrations of omega 3s than fish oil and has even been shown to help mice learn mazes faster.
That’s why grifters selling fake medicine all claimed it was snake oil - people already wanted snake oil because they knew it worked.
Personal trainers. Watching other people exercise is not a job.
You may as well be a corporate tax accountant, a ghost writer for the rich or an email scammer in terms of the value you create for society.
Republicans accuse their opponents of eating pets and drinking the blood of children while they themselves conduct actual human sacrifices when their king faces an uncertainty battle.
I don’t think it’s quite that simple. Both parties support the US empire, of which Israel is a keystone piece in a vital region.
But israel’s genocide and a wider war in the middle east don’t benefit our imperial interests, only netanyahu’s career. Without the leverage of an election year, we’d have more political room to reign in our wayward vassal a little.
We’re just gonna let netanyahu start a regional war to avoid the consequences of his own failures because if we try to stop him AIPAC will do even more to help the neo-nazi riddled republican party win in november.
The 21st century is going great.
That example does sound quite different, but Wiktionary has it as from the Proto-Slavic *(j)edinъ, which is “ultimately from *h₁óy(H)nos.”
Finnish or Estonian are so wildly different
I know right?! I strongly remember the first Uralic language example I heard was the Finnish for merry christmas: hyvää joulua - it just sounded so different.
This kind of horrific torture occurs in large part because the republican party and their various neo-nazi allies have already normalized violent racist rhetoric and violent racist action always comes next.
The asterisks mean that it’s a reconstructed word, not an actually attested word. No PIE writing exists, so all these words are deduced from the descendant words across the vast IE family, not recorded as definitely existing.
The numbers are h1, h2 and h3. We know that PIE had three different h-like sounds (pharyngeals). But, funny thing, every single daughter language lost them, so it’s hard to tell exactly what each one sounded like. If you see overlapping ripples in a pond, you can work out roughly where and how many things dropped, but you can’t guess the exact weight or size.
In every language, most words that most people use are still used from a very long time ago, we just pronounce them a bit differently.
*(H)óynos, *dwó, *treyes for example aren’t just uno, deux and tres, they are 1, 2 and 3 in English, French, German, Italian, Greek, Russian, Hindi, Farsi, Kurdish, Tajik etc. Literally the same word, just spoken by different groups of descendent speakers.
Some languages have undergone sound changes that make certain words sound more or less similar to how we think they sounded in PIE.
So even though though four, vier, quattuor and tessera sound quite different to us, they are all basically just how we say *kʷetwóres.
I just strongly doubt that. Firstly, heaps of people would be dressing as aliens for Halloween and thus talking about it.
Secondly, there’s just way too many follow up questions, about them, their culture, their home, their tech, their goals, their language, their biology, the impact they’ve already had in our history, who knew and who didn’t, etc.
So many fields would begin looking into it and throwing up new angles and facts for people to chew over.
Just think of how much time christians would devote to converting aliens to jeebus.
An investigation into whether Israel violated international law? I wonder who will veto that?
I have to admit I don’t understand what connection this has with paying for music apps.
