I think it is a Middle Eastern thing. Something like cultural hospitality and the connection of social/community and economic ties. “Business is personal” is how I heard a friend who was in Iraq say it.

HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Yeah, you can always count on them to brigade.

God, I can’t wait. Hopefully, at least a few months of peace before the midterms start going.

They really just pulled an uno reverse on the Stasi lmao

A neat idea. How do we decide who goes where though?

I’m still upset she’s not an option

“Delilah” better be one of them

You do know there’s a period of independence between Tsarist Russia and Soviet domination, right?

Honestly, I’m willing to give Britain the slave trade bit. Slavery is ancient, and choosing not just to break free of it, but to actively work for its suppression across the world, deserves some credit, at least.

The rest, though? Y I K E S

Namibia and Tanzania turned out alright. They were something of money sinks, and despite the genocides performed by the Germans, they never really figured out how to turn a profit from their colonies. A bit late to the game, one suspects.

Not sure that the comparison is all that favorable with France. You check Algeria and Egypt, or Uganda and Niger, and it’s not exactly a massive spread. The most positive comparison would be with Italian and Belgian colonialism, which managed to be incompetent and (even by colonial standards) gruesome, respectively.

For real, RAW is a guide, let him fuck the king

And unfortunately lemmy.ml is getting more online traffic recently.

Is it? It looks pretty stable to me. Conversely, world, lemm.ee and shitjustworks are all experiencing slight but noticeable growth.

Is it a hate crime if it’s performed out of love? Love for watermelon?

No worries! I was just wondering if I’d known something about fibre availability in Cumberland and just forgot it, lol

I downloaded a single-player server a while ago, 20x XP let me actually experience the damn game, lmao. It was neat, getting to see what I only got glimpses of as a child.

You sure it was me? I could have said that, I have memory like swiss cheese, but I can’t find any mention of Cumberland or fiber on my three profiles (Kbin, World, dbzer0)

I think they count that as in the area, trying not to get megacommuters is the thing. I think.

For WFH crows the town needs fiber, and in another post he stated the town doesn’t have that.

Did I? I don’t know if Cumberland has fiber options nowadays.
