You can work it out from my other posts but I don’t go around advertising it when I can help it…

There are loads here, and I immediately think that whoever’s driving it is a bad person.

The length is bad but the 0.5cm extra width per year strikes me as much worse. There’s a lot of room for longer vehicles than the average cars of yesteryear - vans and light trucks have always been around. But those vehicles tended to only be slightly wider, if at all, in order to fit into lanes on the road, parking spaces, through gateways and so on. Half a centimetre wider per year is insane.

That is hilarious. Who knew that disease could cause problems for a military force?!

Lol, lmao even

Hopefully repeating this message will get through to a population segment that is fundamentally selfish.

Man, it must suck to be a Ukrainian still in Crimea right now.

Must suck to be a Russian there, too, but maybe the Russian government will give them financial assistance to move back to Russia the way it gave them assistance to move there in the first place.

Besides existing comments, this doesn’t make sense. If it were about the “outrageously high valuation”, it wouldn’t be about their stock dipping due to events after the IPO. You’re linking unrelated things.

Well, it hasn’t dropped below its initial valuation yet.

But the weight in those indices is still low, and it hasn’t entered the S&P 500 yet.

In the Nasdaq 100 index, it’s estimated to enter at 0.50–0.70%

The dark fleet is just the ships that break laws to try and circumvent sanctions placed on Russia. Being escorted doesn’t change that.

The ship should fire its cannons to propel it backwards. That would get it some distance, I’m sure!

Russian oil refinery, go fuck yourself!

If anything this is less surprising now than it would have been then, but in 2012 it was already becoming readily apparent to people outside the LGBT and academic communities that sexuality doesn’t match a stereotypical categorisation that puts everyone into “straight, only wants to see the bits of the opposite sex”, “gay, only wants to see the bits of the same sex” or “bi, anything goes” boxes. Certainly if you spent much time online back then, it was talked about frequently.

Now it should be pretty much obvious: does anyone other than conservatives think that sexuality works like that? Do any of us think that “straight” is something more than an identity, a social construct like gender and race? Given that, can anyone be surprised that there are people who identify as straight but don’t quite match someone else’s strict drawing of the boundaries of that identity?

Maybe some LGBT allies want to say, “honey, if you like watching porn with two dicks in it, maybe you’re a lil bit gay”, but how comfortable would you be with telling someone who identifies as gay that actually they don’t know their own sexual identity? Hopefully you would be pretty uncomfortable with that. Of course there are limits and sometimes people can be in denial or in the closet, but you need extreme caution when drawing such a conclusion otherwise you’re going to erase someone or something. Erasure isn’t OK just because you think you’re erasing straightness. Erasure is only OK in one scenario.

In my non-us country they are not, and nor are the portable drug wipes.

[sad voice] I knooowww

I tend to agree.

I said Threadiverse because as far as I know none of the threads I looked at came from anywhere except Lemmy and Piefed.

No it won’t. There’s a sensor that detects covering the LED.

This is the 3rd or 4th comment about this (across the Threadiverse) - why don’t people ask why this costs $60 - and then go and find out? It’s right fucking there in the article (before the paywall, even).
