This account is being kept for the posterity, but it won’t see further activity past February.

I added a link to the language learning comm in the sidebar of the new address. Thank you for the info!
Damn, that’s sad. Thank you for the info.
Worst hypothesis they just need to mess around a bit. For example I don’t think that queerasfu.ck
would be registered.
They could get a .ck domain instead and move to queer.as.fu.ck, no?
Why?
Theoretically for the meat, sold mostly in Brazil, Uruguay, and Latin Europe*, at a comparatively low price for seafood. In practice for the fins, sold mostly in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and China.
What makes it worse is that Brazilian norms are notoriously sloppy on what you can sell as “cação” (shark or ray meat), including 40 species, quite a few of them vulnerable, and a lot of times the person buying it has no way to know. And if you tell people “only buy cação if the species is listed, otherwise you might be eating a threatened species”, they’ll usually whine and tell you the equivalent of “I dun unrurrstand, y buy dat one? Dis one is cheaper lol lmao”.
*the link is in Portuguese but I can translate it if anyone so desires.
When I saw this in some mander comm I immediately thought “yeah… it goes into Linguistics humour, folks there will enjoy it”.
The settlement is right at the border of what would be controlled by the Inca government, two millenniums later. It shows that there’s some decent access to the region from the west than you’d be led to believe, with the Andes in the way.
As such, if they find other cities further east, I’m predicting that, culturally speaking, they’ll resemble nothing this one; even if they happen to be roughly the same size.
People ate maize and sweet potato, and probably drank “chicha”, a type of sweet beer.
“If you don’t have chicha, any small thing will do.” (reference to a certain song)
Serious now. Potentially yucca too - it grows right next door, and if they got maize from North America then they likely traded for crops.
Relevant detail: Ottoman Turkish ⟨فستق⟩ fıstık borrowed it from Arabic ⟨فُسْتُق⟩ fustuq, that borrowed it from Middle Persian - the same variety as Greek and then Latin did. So odds are that the f-variation was caused by Arabic rendering a foreign [p] as [f], and probably predates Persian itself internally undergoing a p→f shift. Source.
Definitive proof of a Catalan vs. Daco-Romance link! /s
Sorry for the question, but where are you from? I learned this with my mother, so I don’t know if it’s something common here (Brazil) or something that she picked from her Polish or Italian relatives.
That’s surprisingly accurate, as people here are highlighting (it makes geometrical sense when dealing with complex numbers).
My nephew once asked me this question. The way that I explained it was like this:
It’s a different analogy but it makes intuitive sense, even for kids. And it works nice as mnemonic too.
Stating obvious shit like it was some hidden piece of wisdom? Inability to handle subtleties like “lying” vs. “saying an incorrect statement”? Voting system? People repeating the same shit over and over, without reading the others’ comments?
EDIT: I’m highlighting that this YT comment section shows a lot of things to hate in Reddit. In some aspects they’re behaving exactly like redditors; in some they’re actually doing it better, even if YT is a cesspool of idiocy.
Want some cuteness overload? Even big felines love cardboard boxes!
I’ve seen even people in their 40s using them. I don’t think that it’s a big deal, or that it’s too late for that.
Removed by mod
Sorry for the double reply. Here’s a practical idea: what if the mods of this comm contacted lemmy.ml’s admins? Ideally doing two things:
Among the admins I think that Nutomic would be the best to contact, given the github thread.
You’re talking about your thread about Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete, right? It’s still in the modlog for me, even in private mode. I don’t think that they removed the entry.
Another important detail is that Digg v4 pissed off most of the userbase, so the impact was pretty much immediate. Reddit APIcalypse pissed off only power users instead; the impact will only come off later (sadly likely past IPO).
Lunix sucks so much that it got stuck into the version 2 for years.
Sorry for such a late reply.
I’m not sure if I’m part of this big exodus or not. I’ve been toying with the idea of migrating this comm for months, as lemmy.ml is focused on open source and privacy while mander.xyz is focused on sciences. It’ll be more discoverable there, it’ll be easier to access it across the Fediverse, and it’ll be easier to be on the same page as the admins when it comes to the rules.
The straw that broke the camel’s back, for me, was not even politics. Or even which sort of content they allow/deny in their instance. It was how they handled another lemmy.ml community; it shows that they’re completely unprepared as a team to handle users in an acceptable way.
