Huh, I guess I should have googled it first. I just assumed that blue would oppose it because fptp keeps them in power too.

Voting blue isn’t going to get us any closer to ranked voting either.

Something I learned fairly early in German class.

Du
Du hast
Du hast es
Du hast es gemacht

If you want a more accurate translation/explanation of the lyircs: Hast and hasst are homophones. Hast means have and hasst means hate. At the start, it sounds like it’s “du hasst mich” (you hate me,) because the alternative doesn’t make sense. But then when gefragt is added, the past tense of ask, it becomes “you have asked me.”

“Und ich hab nichts gesagt” means “and I said nothing.” Nein should be translated to no, but otherwise it’s pretty much just wedding vows. That translation is not literal, but that’s to be expected for songs.

Tales of Vesperia. I like the combat system most, but the story’s pretty good, and there’s a lot of optional content.

I meant as a post, not a comment, but nice.

But that doesn’t mean everything goes in the memes community. For example, uploading a mere T-shirt would be met with primarily downvotes.

Why should pickles have to do it? The fudge is just as capable of getting itself out.

Glad you got the joke, ll.

Oh hey I think I’m in this picture.

Why are you being so hostile? I’m not even talking about ADHD here, I know neurotypical people who do it.

That’s talking about being on the phone before bed, not while trying to sleep. I’m not talking about people doing one last scroll before they go to bed, I’m talking about people lying in bed, scrolling through their feeds, expecting to fall asleep with their phone in hand.

And yeah, I thought it was a no-brainer that actively reading social media makes it harder to fall asleep while doing so, but these days I’m not so sure how common this “common sense” is.

A while ago, I read something about how back in the day, people would spend half of their evenings “thinking about sleep” and not really doing anything, talking about it like wasted time when you could be doing more fulfulling things. So it’s weird to me to hear that people are recommending two whole hours of this.

As someone who doesn’t have ADHD, here’s what works for me*: No heavy metal or intense video gaming right before bed. I usually just take one final scroll through the front page of Lemmy before I go to bed. And I leave my phone at my desk - that part seems more important. Studies have found it’s harder to fall asleep while looking at a screen. I learned this a while ago and thought it was a no-brainer, then was surprised over the years to learn how many people are literally scrolling through their phones while they’re trying to sleep. If you can give that up*, you’ll fall asleep easier, and if your phone is out of arm’s reach of your bed, your alarm clock will be much more effective in the morning.

*I can’t even guess how easy this would be to pull off with ADHD. Maybe it’s about as easy as it is for anyone else (which may not be all that easy tbf,) maybe it’s borderline impossible. If it’s the latter, sorry, I don’t have any ADHD-specific advice.

Two wars can exist simultaneously.

That first one happened to me too. I think it’s just a teenage drama thing.

The accidental header formatting makes this so much better.

And yet it’s used in fonts like Arial.

Uppercase I is often drawn without serifs, in which case it would be a dot.

That’s true to an extent. It’s more about avoiding arguments, though, and less about whether the view is orthodox.

For example, some views are so out there and unaligned that people will just think it’s a joke and not fault you unless you start seriously arguing for it, like if you say murder should be legal.

On the other hand, some orthodox views would still get restricted because they’re contentious. Like if you start talking about how you believe in equal rights, that’s something most people agree with (at least in principle,) and it shouldn’t be political. But it’s going to ruffle some feathers anyways (especially if you get any more specific than that,) so it’d be restricted.

So basically, it either has to be so out there that people won’t think you’re serious, or so commonplace that people won’t even consider that it could result in arguments.
