Well the only language that is currently officially using it.

I don’t think you can really say that one guy on Lemmy constitutes anything worth a mention on Wikipedia, as it’s not the language using it, per se, but the specific user.

But yeah, sure, technically.

Russia is so fking weak rn. Trying to flex by arresting Antarctic scientists?

So weak

Leonid Pshenichnov, 70, a Ukrainian biologist who is an expert on Antarctica, has a decades-long record of scientific research and contributions to conservation, including support for marine protected areas in the region.

He was preparing to travel to Australia to attend a conference on protecting Antarctic marine life when he was arrested in the Russian-occupied territory of Crimea. He has since been accused by the Russians of high treason.

I’ll agree it doesn’t really answer the “why”, but how is it implying anyone lying?

I like how the drones are warning about “low battery, land now” and the operators are just like “alright imma land on these russians just a moment”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_(letter)

Thorn or þorn (Þ, þ) is a letter in the Old English, Old Norse, Old Swedish and modern Icelandic alphabets, as well as modern transliterations of the Gothic alphabet, Middle Scots, and some dialects of Middle English. It was also used in medieval Scandinavia but was later replaced with the digraph th, except in Iceland, where it survives. The letter originated from the rune ᚦ in the Elder Futhark and was called thorn in the Anglo-Saxon and thorn or thurs in the Scandinavian rune poems. It is similar in appearance to the archaic Greek letter sho (ϸ), although the two are historically unrelated. The only language in which þ is currently in use is Icelandic.[1]

Nice

I think war propaganda is cringe, and the idiots who deepthroat it should be laughed at.

hold onto a thought longer than I.

If you were speaking about someone else, would you use “he/she” or “him/her” in this context?

Because if it’s the former, then you use “I” to replace it, and if it’s the latter, you use “me”.

other people have an ability to hold onto a thought longer than she.

Doesn’t sound right.

Sounds better.

Yes. And I’m also the one who jokingly claimed to not understand the very basic English and blender terms around your username.

I believe my generation is considered somewhat technologically literate, see. As is Lemmy. I, however, half-jokingly implied I am not.

How do you have the patience and time for that?

I enjoy writing and it really doesn’t take that long to hit a quick reply on your phone. A large majority of my comments is just very shitty attempts at jokes, but got to work on the material somewhere and there’s not really venues around here.

Millenial cringe

Good job, dear. You really put me in my place about being older than me. I definitely wasn’t being condescending, because I find the idea of even older generations, still comparing ages a bit funny. Great job!

Whole would’ve guessed that total war in today’s global society is always more or less a sham and business keeps spinning?

Oh right, yeah, pretty much everyone for the past 100 years or so at least.

Also since I’m criticising the US implicitly with that image, a mandatory “fuck Putler” here just so people don’t think I’m whatabouting

Sure you are honey.

skip the maths

I’m so millenial this is the only part I understood.

I did not.

Polytheism can be a useful framework for lots of things without ruining society like monotheism.

Religion isn’t an issue. Dogmatic religion is. And all monotheist religions are dogmatic. Some polytheist ones are as well.

There’s loads of uses for religion which aren’t evil or bad for society

I think you’re confusing a few things.

Was it the west that instigated a change, because they were greed for oil and didn’t give a fuck?

Yes.

But who actually took power? Conservative Muslims.

Fuck all monotheism.

The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine

I watched some Ted-talk’esque thing about a guy who chased the perfect coffee and he came to the conclusion that after toasting the beans, coffee only has a shelf life of two weeks, ground or not.

Obviously it keeps, but for optimal coffee…

Due to this he started developing small home toasting devices. I’d like to try that, see there’s any difference.

Sitting in a tent labeled “prove me wrong” in the US while arguing against gun control is just… well, let’s just say the only disqualifying thing for him is actually the fact he has children.

If someone can prove they’re not his then we may have a winner.

Edit their - > they’re

Clearly. And I took it with grace and added it to my rum.
