Correct; wo, ni, ta are the singular forms I, you, he/she/it. Adding the -men suffix turns it into the plural we/you/they.

So literally, ‘we’ are ‘women’.

Find out who’s funding your current representative, and see if you can ass kiss even harder!

Electricity was relatively cheap back then, and nose blindness is a thing. 😅

She is in Congress, not the Senate - so there’s a couple hundred more of them in general, and not all of them turn up to work every day… so it’s not hard to lose one for 6 months and not notice.

Especially when they’re Republicans, since they do sweet fuck all most days anyway.

The American brain should be perfectly adapted to this sort of scenario! Just think it like one of those suburban cookie-cutter HOA developments, but vertical!

As for counting with multiple numbers, y’all love to do that already! feet & inches, pounds & ounces etc.

I have in-laws living in China, and honestly - it’s a lot easier to navigate those sorts of high rises than you might think.

Most residential buildings I’ve visited have lots of dedicated lifts, so only 2 apartments per floor share one lift. So you would only need to provide something like: Tower 37, Floor 19, Apartment 2.

The Chinese love their delivery apps, too - their drivers (technically scooter riders) are very used to this.

Now the city of Chongqing is a whole seperate matter, that place is an M. C. Escher drawing in real life!

Hmm, interesting! We don’t have that in Australia - closest I can think of would be ‘Light & Tangy’; but that still isn’t that close.

The heck kind of flavour is ‘all dressed’?

You’re partly right; looks like both vinyl and CD sales are down YOY: https://www.headphonesty.com/2024/10/vinyl-sales-fall-compared-last-year/

That article singles out cost of living as the likely culprit and I’m prone to believing that; although I think some of the labels are getting a tad too greedy with some vinyl releases also (I think Taylor Swift has been called out as particularly egregious?).

I’ve never been much of an audiophile, growing up with cassette tapes, minidiscs and 128kbps MP3s - they all seemed perfectly fine. Video on the other hand, I constantly notice between quality Blu-Ray, overly compressed rips and streaming.

Maybe not CDs, but vinyl is having quite a renaissance lately. Ditto for Blu-Rays, although nowhere near to the same extent.

/uj Technically this is their new logo:

J a G U a r is just their new typeface (I think that’s the name?); and apparently/allegedly is to make the pronunciation closer to UK English, rather than American.

Either way, though - it’s still…

Ah Clippy; not the AI Assistant we wanted, but in hindsight probably the one we needed.

According to their fucked-up logic, not paying his bills makes him smart because he’s saving money!

Never mind that the types of people he refuses to pay tend to be working stiffs. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Populists promise lots of good things; it’s just that most ring-wing populists tend to have their fingers crossed behind their back.

The left Shift is A, and Caps Lock is Z.

To get those keys to function as Shift/Caps you would need to hold down the Fn key (bottom right).

I’m all for minimalist keyboards, but this shit is a bit too ridiculous.

Say what you will about that Hitler guy - but at least he did do a good thing or two, like killing Hitler!

Obama at least managed to deliver the Affordable Care Act; which despite not being Medicare Part E (Medicare for All), was a significant improvement over what existed before.

What the US needs is a proper progressive firebrand from the Dems; someone from the Bernie school - or hell, just pick from any one of the other Western democracies.

VPN to a country with a lower cost, and sign up there. It used to be Turkey and India, where you could get a Family Plan for like $2/mo - but they’ve cracked down a bit on it.

We use YT for so much in our ‘household’ that it made sense to pool together and get Premium, and honestly it feels good having ~5 people who consume a tonne of content ad-free for nearly no cost while still supporting our preferred content creators.

You need to seperate out the political machine from the populace.

The DNC did make a right-ward play to try and peel centrist/moderate voters who identify as Republicans but didn’t necessarily want to vote for Trump. They did this on the (now we know false) assumption that their base would turn out automagically.

But again, Trump won with fewer votes this time around than he lost in 2020 to Biden with. He didn’t gain standing, the only reason he was victorious was because those left of centre failed to show up to the polls. Voter apathy doesn’t denote a right-wing shift; it denotes a shit political platform.

Voters are still voting rather progressively on state-wide ballot measures, the people haven’t gotten more conservative - despite what the (elite-owned) media narrative would have you believe. Every datapoint and infographic regarding voter demographics is based on %s of voters, rather than absolute demographics.
