Oh that’s true. I’ve seen a lot of cancel/call-out documents archived on IA, some of which were directed at children or had false accusations on them. It would be funny but not that surprising if all of this was over obscure Twitter drama.
He could have set it up at the start of the class using information from past years.
The “near death experience” heading being messier supports this. I imagine this was the first time that happened, so he added that in the middle of class.
That’s not what the campaign is saying. The statues are just being used as a visually striking metaphor for sexual harassment. It’s cheaper and more effective to put some placards on a statue that people are obviously paying attention to, vs spending the time to design posters that nobody will look at.
Why would knowing about taxes a few years earlier make you rebellious?
If you join any big writing community (the Reddit one most obviously) you’ll be stunned at the number of “How do I write [opposite sex]?” posts. Most of them are from men but there are a surprising amount of women making those posts too.
This is a pretty common take in Eurovision discussion boards atm.
EBU doesn’t want the controversy of taking a stance on the I/P conflict, but most Eurovision fans are pro-Palestine and a lot are threatening to boycott if Israel does compete. And KAN (which is in charge of Israel’s entry) obv doesn’t want the humiliation of a guaranteed last place and potential harassment/security issues for the musician they send. Giving Israel the boot over the song (which, if you read the lyrics, is actually pretty subtle on what it’s referencing) is a win-win for everyone involved.
I don’t think they did. I just checked. Some subs disable downvotes I’m sure but they still exist in the site as a whole.
Energy in gen Z context means vibe.
To answer my own question, I haven’t played all the games yet, and I’m biased towards parser games, but I loved To Sea In A Sieve and I think it’s a contender for winner. Quirky writing (which seems to be a popular trait among past winners), strong setting, and challenging puzzles. Only possible downside is that the puzzles might be a little too challenging? 🤔
I accidentally lost my progress in Assembly and haven’t gotten up to replaying, but what I saw was super promising too.
For me a big thing is that because Lemmy is so small, it’s not diverse. It’s mostly liberal-to-leftist nerds from America and Western Europe. I roll my eyes and scroll past whenever there’s a post about any Asian country because you know it’s just gonna be a bunch of foreigners (whose exposure to the country is limited to news headlines) pretending they know anything. And unlike Reddit there are seldom any locals available to set people straight.
No, it was mostly racism. Singapore is mostly Chinese, as I’m sure you’re well aware, whereas Malaysia is (obviously) mostly Malays and has several inbuilt benefits to give them advantages in life. A lot of Malaysian Malays were not happy about Singapore having equal racial rights, because they believed that Malays should have special benefits. This and general racial tensions led to hundreds of deaths in racial riots. The decision to separate was heavily influenced by the desire to avoid more racial violence.
I hated this Reddit trend of learning one (1) fact about a country and then linking it to literally every post or comment mentioning the country in any capacity. I really hope it doesn’t carry on to Lemmy. Countries are a lot more nuanced than that.
I usually don’t give a fuck about ads, but they’ve gotten increasingly annoying lately. Used to be that the popular websites were classier and less intrusive with their ads, that’s why they were popular. Now the biggest websites (most obviously YouTube) are the ones with the craziest most intrusive ads.
Python. It’s the only one I know :(
I’ve been trying to learn C# too but object-oriented programming just slides right off my smooth brain lol.
You can just type “icon pack” into the play store search and install whichever you like. Most of them cost money though.
I did a bit of looking, it’s from coffeetears on Newgrounds/Twitter. You can see part of their watermark near the leg.
I love the way their coats are drawn. They look so fluffy.
