I managed to move my family and a few friends there but my main group chats and nonchalant gf are impossible to move over unfortunately.

According to Wiktionary it’s likely that that’s a backronym but not confirmed. Could have come from Nancy/Nance or Ponce.

That’s where they send you when the syntax drives you insane.

Oh damn, I’ve never seen this thanks for linking.

The mini series following the dog character was worth watching IMO.

Thanks - added to Pocket to read it later.

Aw yeah Crystal is so good. I’m not in the US so it’s hard to get for me but I agree, it’s basically a sauce for everything.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with this at all. Some people don’t even start college until their mid 20s or even later, if they have the opportunity at all. Finishing a few months later than some of you peers is a minute difference in the grand scheme of things and you should try not to stress about it and focus on doing the best you can with the work that’s left. You will look back on this and find it amusing you were concerned about it - enjoy the extra time you have studying before you move on to the working world where you most likely be for the next 40+ years. Good luck and all the best.

Yeah that’s 20% of the population of the EU (total population figure of 450 million used). It’s mental that after all of the things that have happened recently, 1 in 5 people still use Xitter and that’s not even excluding babies.

We have a similar one to this when someone is incompetent which is “They couldn’t organise a pissup in a brewery”.

Thoughts and prayers xoxo

Yeah whatever brings positive nostalgia to people will be looked at fondly. I remember early internet fads and viral websites in a positive light that are just as dumb and transient as whatever viral content is being pushed out today. People view things in a different light and some kids in 15 years time will get nostalgic about Skibidi Toilet and talk about how “Dance Hype Craze” fell off after video 983.

Briefly joined Discuit during the Reddit API ruckus but I was already on Lemmy so I never stuck with it. It’s been open sourced and the people seemed mostly pleasant so it seemed like it was on a reasonable path towards creating a good space.

A Goodboy Education for Dogs.

Yeah apologies, that’s a good point - thanks for adding more context!

IDK why people say they have better privacy: They just settled a lawsuit over evesdroping using Siri. I think they probably have less interest than Google in selling data for advertising, mostly likely using it internally for their ecosystem so they probably come across more privacy focused but I assume they snoop just as much as any other big tech company.

The birth of the internet and the birth of the world wide web are two differnet things though: The world wide web started in 1989.

Title is misleading, FTA:

Confirmation that I am 63% British and Irish, 17% Danish and otherwise “broadly north-western European”. I felt a resounding ambivalence about the results, including some disappointment that I had not discovered a newfound heritage – a piece of information that would give my identity new dimension.

But also:

My father’s side of the family is meticulous about tracking our ancestry, with records that hold the name of the exact small village in Ireland our ancestors hail from.

Those results often can’t narrow down to exact countries so it says he’s 63% British and Irish. Seeing as his fathers family has records of being from a small Irish town it’s likely he’s more Irish that British, not that it means anything if you’re actually American anyway.

Yeah it’s called Pasta ca’muddica and has a whole bunch of variations such as adding anchovies.

I imagine the likely conclusion of it would come up with would be something like “decrease the size of the human population”.
