So there is a type of spray used on boats to get rid of spiders. As you can imagine, having an in closed space near the water is prime real estate for spiders. The spray works by making it impossible for spiders to make webs around it. You just use it on all your window frames. Spiders won’t pass those lines because they sense that they can"t make webs there. I use the one from Yachticon, don’t know if you can order it everywhere, but it works wonders.

Talking to strangers. I’m always the person my introverted friends push to the front if the group has to say something. Ohh, and phone calls! I’m the designated “Can you call them please?” person.

You should read Parahumans:Worm by Wildbow. The best superhero story I have ever read, and it’s completely free! :)

The variety and use cases for all the different powers are especially interesting.

I think the point of contention is that the user you debate is under the (right) assumption that when a child cries in public, this is just a small snapshot out of all the time the parents took them to any public place. A child crying is not a bug, it’s an inherent feature. They sometimes just do that, they don’t even know themselves, so it’s not the parents fault that their mini-human isn’t behaving like a fucking Gucci bag. Everything volvoxvsmarla said is true, children learn through trial an error and yes, you need to sometimes take the brunt of this process, I’m sorry little one. When children don’t learn how to behave in (for example) supermarkets because you banned them, then you get teenagers who didn’t learn to behave. You can’t pass the problem on forever. I’m a teacher and it really fucking shows when kids never learned how to exist in a public place.

BTW., this is not an excuse for parents who evidently don’t give a fuck or even worse, motivate their children to be brats so they entertain themselves. Scum of the earth. But it’s perfectly possible for parents to try their hardest and still fail sometimes.

The parents can get punished by having an autistic child…

The second polish republic was an authoritarian regime though. I agree with everything else in the meme, the last pannel just makes it rhetorically look like that’s not the case.

The fuck?

This is most likely about Mario Kart World. The newest feature in the series is the open world with many challenges outside of races and more possibilities to learn the mechanics. Additionally, after you finish a race while playing online, the game gives you 3 options to chose the next track from, which are neighbouring the last track. If you pick them, you drive to this track and only then get to play the race you wanted. This sounds awesome, but only until you realise that this intermission is almost always just a straight line and really, really boring. After release it became the norm to always pick a random track because those don’t have intermissions. Nintendo noticed and patched random to only give you one of the 3 tracks previously suggested, something no other Mario Kart ever did. Now, most players organize their races on Discord. I love Mario Kart, but fuck Nintendo sideways.

Here’s a Video explaining it

JÄÄÄÄGERSCHNITZEL!

Posting such a controversial question and putting in onion rings on this list is bordering on rage bait

Edit: I can’t type

I did the same, but I never had any negative interactions on .ml tho. The folks over on Hexbear are a different kind of strange, but harmless in the end, and of course you regularly read bullshit on all instances, but it’s just different tastes of shit, the ammount stays the same. After I switched from Reddit to Lemmy I started to encounter such a plethora of different opinions, it’s insane! :D If the deal is that from time to time I have to tolerate some idiot picking a fight about communism or Russia or Gaza or China etc., I gladly accept. One Thing you really have to give too all the tankies is that (on average) they are far more likely to cite sources for their claims. Do they do it so you can learn, or to smugly proof a point? I don’t care

The thing with cases for nouns in German is that after you surpassed the first hurdle in understanding them, it just makes so much sense. If you place languages on a spectrum from syntactical to context based, you find Latin basically on the far side of syntactical. Almost everything regarding relations of different parts of the sentence can be cleared up by suffixes, whole subordinate clauses are packed into 2 words without any comma. English on the other hand is very much dependent on context. The word order is paramount, there are like 30 tenses which are not concerned with time, but relation to other actions or dozens of case-by-case rules and meaning is often inferred. But the upside is that it’s studiply easy to reach a level where you can hold a normal conversation on the streets, especially when you already speak a Roman language. It’s just very inefficient and far less unambiguous. While German is not as syntactical as Latin, it’s much closer to it’s roots. Gendered nouns should be a thing of the past and I see my prescriptivism leaving my soul every time I talk about them.

Gatekeeping advocacy against a genocide is the wildest kind of lib brain

Of the 2 million most used sites in the EU not even 10% pass the lowest bar of the GDPR. Thing is, that when the problem is this wide spread, the courts don’t want to open the floodgates when they start to percecute all those websites.

Please get checked for Diabetes. That’s the first sign :(

Wow, I think thats the most racist thing I encountered in this site to date! First time I reported someone too!

My favourite is castle in the sky. To be honest, the nostalgia goggles play a major part, but the movie is just so damn beautiful with the interpersonal drama, the stunning themes of nature (both human and environmental) and the bombast of the inhuman weaponry a multitude of people want to acquire. Its just a fucking banger. Like many Ghibli movies I can’t fathom how anyone would rate it for kids, but I’m glad I watched it as a child.
