That was killed quickly.

I have to admit that I still go back to Reddit regularly. There‘s just (still) more interesting / engaging content and more interaction there. Although I would be happy to go „all in fediverse“.

Not a mod, and not using the default app either. So probably this won’t affect me too much.

That’s correct. Me neither.

Which continent would central american countries then belong to?

To answer OP’s question, I’d say that US citizens are being referred to as “Americans”, because the name of the country is “United States of America”. Every other country on the north or south American continent has its own distinguished name, which can be used to refer to its citizens, e.g. “Canadians” or “Mexicans” etc.

Pretty good summary, but I would object, that “Hamas” is something like a “government” in Gaza. It’s a terrorist group that took control of the Gaza territory and it’s people without ever having been elected by someone (in fact, they are suppressing any kind of election since they took over the power from the Palestinian authorities). They are also using the Gaza population as “living shields” against counter strikes to their terror attacks. Nowadays they also have international hostages, which would make a counter-offensive even more difficult.

A possible - although very unlikely - solution to the conflict could be a de-radicaiisation on both sides and the Palestinians finally overthrowing the Hamas-regime and any other terrorist groups, because those are not fighting for Palestinian freedom, but for some crappy “Jihad” ideas and the destruction of Israel.

Unfortunately this will never happen…

Having said that, the Palestine territory was not chosen arbitrarily, but probably because of the significance Jerusalem has to the Jews, where their ancient kingdom and temple had been.

Killing civilians is terrorism!

Your link doesn’t work, or st least it seems to be unavailable for viewers in Europe.

I guess they are currently at step 2 or 3…

It’s like thinking about marrying your ex-wife again, just after you went through an awful divorce, that took years to get accomplished, which you had insisted in. It would make you look somewhat stupid and the question is whether your ex-wife would let you move back in to your former house (i.e. the EU). Who knows…

You wanted it, you got it, now live with it!

Used it maybe a dozen times in the past 20 years.

I really don’t think that Mastodon needs influencers. It’s just normal people talking about normal stuff. Don’t need any “I‘m so glorious, and here’s my product that will make you think you’re glorious, too” kind of influencers there, thanks!

I gave it another thought, and if they really believe that if anything touching their anus would make them gay, then it should also remain untouched by a turd, and they should stop defecating to prevent themselves from becoming gay. Life will be sacred then - and short…

Really? No shit??

This is what multiple Miggs would say… - well, not anymore!

It’s separate, next to the toilet. When I was a child, I always thought that this is a special kind of toilet, but I couldn’t figure out for what kind of use (I never used it, though). It was my parents’ summer house and they probably built it in, because it was a trend or requirement at that time.

We’ve had one in my parents house for the past 30 years and as far as I remember, no one ever used it. Usually it’s used to store dirty laundry before washing. Maybe I should give it a try…

WTF?! „… force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list.“

Today it’s some terrorist / pedophile / fraudulent site, tomorrow it could be some opposition, news or whatever could be disliked site on that list.

I sometimes believe that this kind of sudo touch approval is a scam. Quite often when I update some app that comes with an installer (like nextcloud or Edge browser), I am offered to approve the installation / update via touch ID, but it almost never works, but instead I have to type in the admin account and password. So I wonder why they even offer this option, when it has no effect?!
