“Eventually the world will become uninhabitable and the ceasefire will hold.”

“He had a camera and was shooting everyone in sight! We had to neutralize him as he as dressed like a Vuarnet ad from the 90s!”

Isn’t there also shorthand where you just write the base components and people understand what you mean because even though the radicals are missing, the core meaning of the glyph is still close enough?

The difference is that the shorthand isn’t based on phonetics but on the core meaning of the calligraphic strokes.

It’s why Japanese writers can communicate with Cantonese speakers through quick strokes on their palms. The radicals are all different but the base components are the same.

Similar to a German person stripping back words to core syllables.

Remember that the Afghan Taliban isn’t simple either.

Tchotchkes?

I was thinking more in line with the recent DOGE actions that resulted in people being incorrectly added to the legally dead database.

Is incorrectly labeling someone as legally dead considered a crime? Like, equivalent to manslaughter or murder depending on intent?

To protect them from parasites, yes.

The complaint itself is disheartening, but isn’t necessarily about it being an indigenous flag; if the strata has a rule against hanging flags from balconies, it could just be that the strata didn’t know about the flag law, and someone didn’t like it in general (and would have complained no matter what flag it was).

Personally, I think it would be great to give this particular flag the same protections as a civic flag.

Isn’t a party just a coordinated mass candidacy?

I presume they mean in a single riding, but still….

I always assumed it was sheep dip.

To play devils advocate, there are the same number of 911 operators, and if the police are sent, they’ll most likely end up helping the federal employees in anger.

I see most kids under 10 wearing a bicycle helmet. Of course, kids under 10 shouldn’t be riding these, as they’re designed to carry heavier loads.

Anyone 16 or older? It grabs my attention if they ARE wearing a helmet.

The first part is the reason for the second part: the alert system isn’t targeted enough so people disable it due to the majority of the alerts being disruptive but not applicable.

Yang was a Democrat though.

This goes nicely with abortion bans, criminalization of life choices that don’t produce babies, and the disenfranchisement of women.

There are tools for converting Hyper-V drives to vmdks that everything can read. Then just fire up new kvm instances and load the disk images.

If nothing else pans out in Vancouver, the YWCA isn’t bad.

What differentiates a dating site from something like Lemmy? The secret matching algorithm?

If asked in a vacuum, there’d be no audible answer.

Unless non-verbal communication was used and the participants could hold their breath long enough.
