Could also be a bad AI upscale. My iphone does it with text that’s far away

Maybe if it has sails. Otherwise you’re exposed each time you need to refuel at a port. But ferrying about between uninhabited islands for resources and sleeping on the boat sounds like a decent plan.

Well… If I knew how to sail, that is. Or tie proper knots.

It’s also assuming that the zombies can’t swim or walk on the seabed, which they usually can’t

I’ve been using Vivaldi (chromium-based) for about three years now. It’s customizable and has been generally solid. Also has a couple of unique tab management features. Doesn’t have builtin ad blocking afaik. But for that I use adguard desktop and route all my traffic through it, which filters out ads regardless of which browser I’m in. On iOS I can recommend Orion by kagi. It’s the only other webkit browser besides Safari, runs light, and has decent builtin ad blocking

It’s ‘collabroate’ when the oblique complement of the verb is masculine. It’s ‘collabriate’ when the complement is feminine.

This may be the first attestation of object gender agreement in English

There’s a game where I could use some sort of meta progression (because I suck): Noita.

I’ve never made it deeper than the first three levels. I probably never will. So much cool shit down there that I’ll never see

Just a damn shame, really. For all the criticisms of the Harry Potter books over the years, I still hold dear to my heart the memories of reading them, watching the adaptions, and listening to the Jim Dale audiobooks. But those memories are irrevocably tarnished knowing who the author turned out to be. What young adult me saw as a progressive subtext now reads a whole lot more conservative and conformist.

Huh… TIL other countries do Sinterklaas as well. Miklavž… That’s Slovenian, going by the wikipedia page?

Here in Flanders and to the north in the Netherlands we actually get told this story. Sinterklaas, who visits on the eve of the 5th (NL) or during the night (BE), is our OG Santa Claus.

For kids Sinterklaas is the main event, whereas Christmas is when you get given… socks. Last few years the focus seems to have shifted more to Christmas though.

Glad we got rid of ‘Zwartepiet’ though (Sinterklaas’s helpers). Think ‘elves’ except human-size, not-elf and with blackface.

I grew up attending international schools. Seeing one of my classmates dressed as zwartepiet getting called to the principal’s office is a core memory.

Temporarily embarrassed millionaire energy here.

We understand their perspective alright. The concept of a millionaire or billionaire is simply disgusting because it is clear they use the power their wealth offers them to get out of paying their fair share while simultaneously needlessly exploiting us even further and in some cases meddling in politics or media so as to delude us into thinking: this is normal or – in your case – won’t someone empathize with the billionaire?

SPA websites that go out of their way to make opening a link in a new tab difficult to impossible can well and truly go fuck themselves
