Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

  • Not so weird, it's pointing out that the fascist regime and their russian allies are absolutely willing to cook and stoke rape allegations as part of their disinformation campaigns.

  • There's not another option. Platner is incredibly popular - outfundraising the sitting democrat governor! - and vocally supports some progressive causes.

    Susan Collins has consistantly voted with our fascist regime while pretending she's a moderate. She needs to go.

    The effort and money the regime is focusing against Platner shows how much of a threat they see him as. He does need to win, and opponents of our fascist regime shouldn't be listening to the regime's attempts to defeat him.

  • The woman who started Ladies for Kavanaugh specifically to descredit Christine Blasey Ford's rape allegations is going out of her way to say that he knew what the tattoo meant - so he almost certainly did not.

  • Tally systems and icons. It's from these icons that writing emerges.

    China might be the exception, writing maybe emerges from divination rather than accounting. But maybe it goes accounting > divination > writing.

  • Nope! I have a 20+ y/o car, so mine is not. No touch screen, no spyware, just a car with buttons and knobs that we drive around.

  • Ah! I wondered if it might be vowelless for such a reason. Fun! Big fan of Elam, but i don't know many details of the language beyond the (increasingly solid, i believe) status as a sister-branch alongside Dravidian.

    Thanks for sharing!!

  • Vowel do a disappear why friend? Is there a vowel harmony type deal and they change, are you just listing root constents like a semitic language? Or have completely misunderstood and "rMl t qb b sBsb zGK" is not supposed to be the Hearthsider pronunciations?

  • Pity, not sympathy. They still got grifted and will be laughed anywhere they go. I pity them that.

  • On one level i do have pity for anyone who got grifted by a nazi and wasted a bunch of money only to commit themselves to an endless stream of repairs and recalls while getting laughed at everywhere they go, all for a shit car with no resale value.

  • Quit using fb years back, maybe five? Have checked it twice to message people i've no other contacts for.

    I've used reddit maybe a half dozen times since moving to fediverse during the 3rd party app exodus. Each time to find a specific niche thing, often to no avail.

    So i'd say honestly no, but i never like social media much to begin with.

  • THERE IS ANOTHER ELECTION BEFORE THAT.

    It's two years away. It's not even the next election! And this is all presuming that there even is another election, which is far from given.

    There is absolutely nothing you can say about a hypothetic 2028 election in 2026.

  • It doesn't work like that, i've already been allowed to attend at serious medical events without her being able to say so.

  • Almost word for word what i was going to say.

    I'm in a committed, 9year relationship, we're in our 40s and married in all but name.

    The state can fuck right off.

    We know what we have and no piece of paper steeped in millenia of patriarchal property ownership could ever affect or authorize that.

  • Can't wait!!

  • 🤤🤤🤤 I just ate dinner and this is making me hungry again 😂

  • I'd love to go back, i really want to visit like a million historical sites and food places. I've heard such good things about Hunan food. I always make sure to say "要大辣" when i order chinese here in the US, hoping they will make it proper spicy.

  • 好啊!Where in China are you from?

    I studied for a semester in 云南. 好想吃米线啊!

    I miss so much food from China. Stumbling home drunk and getting fried rice cooked over one of those intense burners that sound like a jet engine. All the 烧烤 was incredible. And in 云南 the 傣菜 was always so special. 🤤

    Because the fediverse is small, niche communities tend to have little content and it's quite likely that most popular content will end up in your feed. I found it was helpful to subscribe to communities after i saw a post i liked from that community.

    Welcome, hope you like it!

  • So unauthorized transport of iranian oil? Either the ship was sanctioned by the US in error or a ship that was shady enough to do sanctions-busting for Iran is also shady enough to double cross iran, work for another paymaster, or some such?

  • part of Iran’s shadow fleet, the network used to move crude outside official channels.

    Iran’s explanation didn’t add much clarity. Officials said the tanker was carrying Iranian oil but had tried to exploit regional conditions. No details on what that actually means.

    Pretty shady looking site. If this can be believed, it seems like story is that some kind of deniable sub-contractor in the wider shadow fleet network was doing something that caused it to be flagged as suspicious and seized by iranian officials.
