From my experience, eating out costs more

Hot take

I still can't believe that movie got made.

Wait, let me clarify that. I still can't believe THAT movie got made.

Super unpopular opinion: he was actually kinda.funny.

Some days you just can't get rid of a bomb.

Translocation of 2,000 rhinos in Africa gets underway in “one of the most audacious conservation efforts of modern times” ( www.discoverwildlife.com )

“It is a massive privilege to be part of such a conservation initiative,” says Donovan Jooste, wildlife NGO African Parks’ Rhino Rewilding Project Manager, who is overseeing the 2,000+ rhinos. “The opportunity we have to de-risk a species at scale is incredibly exciting.”

Correct.

How would we have done that, US+Europe+others join the war?

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Gotcha.

I guess a difference there is that Israel was paying money. So that has been urgent partly so some people could make a shitton of money.

Either way, you were correct.

OK, but the subtitle makes it pretty clear. As does tbe, you know, the article.

Melons taste just as good to me now as the 80s or 90s.

Were these shots from a holodeck episode, or is this where AI has brought us to?

Also, it's a lie that crime in Arizona is at an all-time high.

In theory he can be impeached.

In practice, he can't be impeached.

It's like 80% of the way to being good, which leaves it in the uncanny valley

Ah, the last wee. A bittersweet moment.

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

It didn't really make sense to me in context. Maybe there was some other missing word or grammar that would have made a difference...?

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Don't think anyone is saying it doesn't work. Context here specifically is that many people hate having to do it.

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Do what? The source you linked stated it was about a white (U.S.) southerner and a black child. What "indigenous" person do you think is depicted here...?

Edit: original comment said this was about a "colonist" and an "indigenous person".

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Not a slave either.

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

It wasn't. It was a term - frequently sarcastic eventually, as in this cartoon - used to describe the "noble" behaviors of southerners.

Here's an article from the time on it, talking about how the rumored "southern chivalry" was anything but: https://www.historians.org/teaching-and-learning/teaching-resources-for-historians/sixteen-months-to-sumter/newspaper-index/new-haven-daily-palladium/southern-chivalry

As someone else.mentioned, a form of it became "southern hospitality" and survived, usually in the complimentary way.

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

I'm being a little technical, but I think it's important. He/she would have been either an ex-slave, or a child of slaves, or just in general an African most likely. But definitely not "a slave".

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe, but I don't think so, at least not directly. I can't find a source, though.

I just think the concept of Knights and Arthurian stuff was popular, and they just both came from the same general popular ideas, instead of one coming from the other.

@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

Parent comment was useful. Yours is just childish.

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

That second one.

The knee-jerkiness and low effort "feels" comments on Lemmy sometimes is worse than it ever was on Reddit. It's really exhausting.

Ironically I find that the same people that complain about clickbait headlines are some of the worst when it comes to falling for rage-bait, for outrage addiction, not bothering to read articles, comment almost entirely off of "feels", etc.

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

So much unrealized potential with the character...

ripcord ,
@ripcord@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, generally rules at least are to strongly discourage people from doing a thing, or to lead to things that WOULD prevent people from doing a thing.

A purely conceptual rule by itself would not magically stop someone from doing a thing, but that's kind of a weird way to think about it.

Thanks for your efforts Elias!

I guess my unpopular opinion is that I don't think that's a very good song :)
