If I could find something like AltSnap on Linux I would move like, this week.
I know some of the features may already be part of Linux but I use this program pretty extensively and I don’t know much about Linux desktops and how they control.
But anyway I’m gonna move to Linux anyway, I have a date in my calendar later this year and my friend is gonna help me switch to it.
Aggregate polling is around 40% support. The lowest I found was 38% from economist.com, but ~41% is pretty common across any aggregate you can look up yourself. NYT for example says 41% support.
Wow! I had no idea.

“Mizu no Hoshi e Ai o Komete” (水の星へ愛をこめて; lit. ‘To the Aqueous Star with Love’) is the debut single by Japanese singer Hiroko Moriguchi, released on August 7, 1985 under Starchild Records. The song was written by Neil Sedaka and Masao Urino, based on Sedaka’s unreleased song “For Us to Decide”.
I occasionally have really detailed dreams with plots and allegory and everything. Sometimes someone will tell a joke in my dream, and I don’t get the joke until I wake up and think about it. My subconscious is sometimes more clever than I am.
Anyway, the best dream I ever had was one of those really detailed ones with a complex plot. I don’t remember any of those details, but it was some kind of mystery story where two children are on the run from a detective. It was full of plot twists and complex lies. As the plot unfolded, it seemed like there were some contractions in the narrative. One character says it happened like this, but another character claims the opposite. Typical mystery story stuff.
But as the dream went on, these little inconsistencies built up and up until I concluded that a key event in the plot must have happened two different ways at the same time. Irreconcilably, both ways must have been true, but they absolutely contradicted each other. It’s not that somebody is lying, there must actually be something wrong in the timeline itself.
This is when the dream drops its biggest plot twist: why is it inconsistent? Because it’s not real; it’s all a dream. And then I woke up.
I know the “it’s all a dream” plot twist is usually cheap and stupid, but like, it WAS all a dream. I sat in bed for like 15 minutes just being impressed with how incredible the twist was, and how it was quite impossible for anybody else to experience the same story.
A few of the abbreviations are already on there, just written wrong. They got “La., Ga., and Pa.”
Very obscure 45-minute 1991 anime movie: Christmas in January. Rated extremely low (5.46 / 10) on MAL, it’s absolutely one of my favorite movies. It’s whimsical and melancholic and so so interesting. Reminds me a lot of the Ghibli movie Ocean Waves, which is also an underrated gem (and, while I’m at it, the Kimagure Orange Road masterpiece sequel movie from the same director as Ocean Waves).
I really love stories that are just miraculous/odd/interesting excerpts of people’s lives that are otherwise inconsequential. There was nothing grand or life-changing about the events in the story, but I will never forget the delicate social interplay in the shoe store, or the only scene that actually takes place in January at the very end: just a moment of reflection.
I had assumed they were allophones and always wondered if there was a minimal pair to prove otherwise. It turns out though there is one: tooth (n) vs tooth (v), or tooþ vs tooð.
I remember seeing this clip several months ago. In context, it was clearly in reference to Biden’s cancer diagnosis, which was still popular/relevant news at the time.

Plus does those sea sounds last for that long, I really do not know.
If you live near the ocean, the seashell ocean sound will last forever. If you’re a little farther away then you need to take them back to the ocean to recharge every couple months.
I recognize your account and see you around a lot. I like your insightful posts, especially about Chinese language. I was just thinking about one of them earlier today, that country names in Chinese may predispose certain assumptions about the country like USA being written as “beautiful country” etc.
truly dull sections - yes I’m looking at you the vehicle sections … makes playing through HL2 a slog. Just a few hours in, I didn’t want to play any more. I was done.
Totally agree with this. HL1 is one of my favorite games ever but HL2 was just boring. I tried it a few times and never finished. Opposing Force and Blue Shift are my Half Life 2 and Half Life 3.
In defense of chronological order, the “original release” is only 14 episodes and the so-called broadcast order that many recommend is a fanmade amalgamation of the 2006 broadcast and 14 of the 28 episodes that aired in 2009.
In a literal sense, the “broadcast” or “original” order is not the original order of the broadcast. There were 14 episodes in the 2006 series and 28 episodes in the 2009 series, only half of which were new. “Broadcast” order is just the 2006 series with the new episodes tacked onto the end.
There’s nothing wrong with the broadcast order, but many people think of it as “the original” or “closer to the original artistic intent”. If you’re watching 28 episodes of the show, that’s simply not true. Many of the episodes are placed much better in the 2009 (chronological) order, especially Live Alive and Someday in the Rain. I would never recommend watching those so early, as one would do in “broadcast” order.
I personally recommend the chronological order OR if you’re willing to be a little bit confused trying to figure out what episode to watch next, a custom watch order like this one posted by user Xirema to Reddit or this one that I created and posted to MyAnimeList a couple years ago.
Seems to be queer exclusive, ignorant of climate change, ignorant of the economic reasons people aren’t having children, and (knowing the villainous Heritage Foundation) probably based strictly in prescribed gender roles.
Aside from all that, this is in theory a really good idea. Get people prepared for marriage and children, probably improving their own lives and the life of their kids. If this is done in a way that is cognizant of different cultures and queer families, it could be great. Maybe pay people a token amount to be there, too, just as a motivator.
I found out a few of my friends have never eaten a bunch of classic fruits. Things like mango, pomegranate, kiwi, and even tangerine.
I’m planning a fruit party for everybody to try and then judge different fruits.
