The catarrhine who invented a perpetual motion machine, by dreaming at night and devouring its own dreams through the day.
For me, the small politeness words are not “thank you”, “sorry”, or “good morning”. They’re “maybe”, “I think”, “perhaps”, “I don’t know”. I respect honest doubt way, way more than I respect dishonest = rushed certainty, and I wish I saw more of that.
Be prepared to welcome Discordfugees in the same fashion as the Redditfugees.
Yerba mate: coarse milling, radioactive green. 75°C water. No sugar; sometimes I add some peppermint, but that’s it.
Coffee, homemade: black, no sugar. Neither too strong nor too weak, at least for local standards.
Coffee, when going out: either cheap coffee with a small drop of milk, or a good espresso or machiato. In uni times I used to drink half-and-half, with cinnamon and brown sugar, but that’s because my former uni’s cafeteria’s coffee was awful.
I barely drink tea proper (Camelia sinensis), but I’m often drinking other teas - hibiscus, ginger, chamomile, peppermint.
Props for the dev. In fact because of these news I went to check their games out and find a good free one, Viridi; you build a succulents pot. Basically small version of my succulents/cactuses garden.
Just listen to Pitura Freska, my peers. We need a black pope.
I’m not Catholic any more, for decades, but it was nice to know the pope was from my “turf” of the world instead of yet another European. Plus he was considerably humbler than other popes, the instructions for his own burial are a good example. (In fact a lot of people I know get surprised when you mention that he was a Jesuit instead of a Franciscan. Not just because of his papal name - but because all that “think on the poor” discourse is extremely Franciscan.)
His Easter 2025 message is worth a read, regardless of religion.
Minimise contact, stand your ground, don’t give him any bargaining chip against you, get people on your side, and watch out for people who might enable his behaviour.
How you do those things is up to you, because they depend a lot of different factors.
A simple lunch in family, with some chocolate gifts for everyone. Afternoon was some people eating sweets and talking, some napping, and my nephew playing Roblox games. Myself barely did anything, it was mostly my sister (she brought an already baked fish from her home) and my mum (roasting some vegs).
Translation; mostly between Portuguese, Italian, English.
Self-employment is a bit of a mixed blessing. It requires some discipline handling time and money, as well as flexibility - dealing with the fact that some months you’ll get barely any income, and in others you’ll feel overworked as fuck. You won’t deal with a shitty boss, but with a plethora of shitty clients (and some really great ones).
I’m self-employed. As such the idea of day on/off work can get really messy for me; some days I work a single hour and then drink booze, some days I work 16h straight. It depends on work availability + my mood.
Days when I don’t work at all typically involve cooking, taking care of my pets, napping, watching anime, reading some random junk.
It’s kind of the opposite - the IPA gives you an unambiguous written representation for each sound, while OP is making an unambiguous sound for each letter.
So for example, let’s say that you keep misspelling ⟨cache⟩ as ⟨cash⟩. Inside your head you memorise “⟨cache⟩ is spelled like [katʃe]”, then next time you need to write the word you’ll be less likely to write ⟨cash⟩ instead.
Yeah, behaviour-wise Lemmy has been going downhill the last years. For me at least it’s still way better than Reddit, but it’s different for each person. And I think that you’re doing the sensible thing here - it’s affecting you negatively, so you step back and take a break.
Everytime I post stuff I just end up with an inbox that I’ve got to go through and just get more and more depressed and deflated.
Ah, the “orange icon syndrome”. I know how it’s like.
Take care.
As typical his videos are spot on. The analogy is perfect here:
I did mention other crucial red lines due to his violations of the first amendment, but this one is irreversible. And while I expect locals to try to move the river south (like he says in the video), much like people do here towards Bolsonaro or a potential successor, from the outside things are often clearer.

Tell me that you’re from Oz without saying that you crack tins.
Serious now, I do something similar with chickpeas instead of beans. Plus some pork butt - it goes great with both kale and peppers!
Województwo wileńskie! */me says it and runs really fast*
Jokes aside pink beet soup is awesome. Specially with boiled eggs + rye bread.
Remember America Lat[r]ina. I’m not even talking about Brazil [the country that I pay taxes to], but Mexico and the UPCA - they’ve been playing along USA for so long that they developed Stockholm Syndrome. Without USA they’re turning their eyes to China, same shite but different continent.
I think that the right approach, from the British government, would be to be proactive: create laws banning book banning. And book defacement should be investigated, when it follows a pattern (as it does in this case).
Another red line? Sorry to be blunt but at this rate the constitution of his country is toilet paper. Used toilet paper.
Anyway dictatorships hate 1) insiders who see the outside, and 2) outsiders who see the inside. So both Trump+Bukele are making sure Garcia stays in the right North American potatoship, instead of the wrong one.
A potato and beef soup known locally as “Slavic soup” (sopa eslava). Likely brought to my chunk of South America by Polish immigrants, and then adapted to local tastes.
Notes:
Other soups I really enjoy are
My family has some really weird vocab, stuff other Portuguese speakers don’t use:
My sis, BIL, and nephew consistently visit us (my mum and me) every weekend, so we all have a meal together, but there’s a catch - we never know if they’re coming for Saturday dinner or Sunday lunch. So Saturday afternoon I’m going to prepare boeuf bourguignon, since it gets tastier once reheated - if they come Sat or Sun that’s what they’re going to eat, then we just need to buy some fresh bread and it’s done. Bonus points that my BIL loves wine stews.
Beyond that it’s all about preparing myself for travelling Tuesday. Going to visit an 80yo aunt, just to check how things are going with her.
might as well share the stew recipe here
This is for four people, and I’d rather have some leftovers, so I’ll probably scale it up a wee bit.
If it were just for me I’d serve it with creamy polenta, but knowing my folks it got to be bread and rice.
On the roux: it’s 1cs flour + 1cs butter. I simply add the butter to a non-sticky pan, let it melt under the lowest fire possible, add the flour, and keep stirring constantly.
