The story is that Paris was taken in 6 hours, and that’s often used to mock the French for not resisting much. The truth is that Paris wasn’t damaged in the way London or Berlin were in WW2. Seems like a decent tradeoff in the end.

I don’t know who wants to see a closeup of a single boob either.

I’ll take it if it’s all I can get

I’ve received 4 of them so far, and the images were hosted on lemmy, including reputable instances, but never on the same instance as the message itself came from.

Sounds like someone leads a boring and meaningless life.

Mostly, I just want to be able to copy/paste passwords and then delete them from the clipboard. It was concerning when I would delete the contents of my clipboard and the next day my password was back there again.
