Nobody here hates you for talking about your problems. They dislike the way that you post as if you’re asking for advice and then only engage as if everyone is failing you because they haven’t given you a one-sentence miracle cure to your depression. The people being pre-emptively harsh on you here are doing so because they know that you’re FookReddit69 and Kimdracula, so they have seen the routine before

People are referencing those prior posts and OP is responding in kind, this is definitely the same person

IP over avian carriers, yes

I like this one, but to be fair the article it is summarising was never not going to be a little silly

See this clearly isn’t the actual meaning because this definition only applies to fiction. See, for example, Conservative party former Home Secretary of the UK Suella Braverman describing protestors opposing her anti-protest bill as the “tofu-eating wokerati”

I came here to suggest Bombino, who is Nigerien but part of the same Tuareg desert blues genre. That stuff is excellent

Beautiful! Playing mandolin is a weird experience for me as a guitar player. Like… I know how this all works, it looks familiar, but it’s upside down and everything is very close together. It’s a lovely sound though.

It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied

No worries! For all of the manifold problems of google, its reverse image search tool is really useful. That helped me find the original image

While I agree with you that I don’t think OP has correctly described what they’re actually thinking about, there is plenty of sex work that doesn’t involve actually having physical sex with anyone. Like a solo porn model, or erotic dancers

It seems like you mean a post-scarcity society rather than a currencyless one. Sex work done to earn a living is still done to earn a living if it’s in a society that distributes goods and services in another way. I’d hope that the sex worker in question is getting personal fulfilment from it, but unless their basic needs are covered regardless then it seems foolishly optimistic to assume that it’s the case

Not sure about that comment, since those pools really are at Sliema in Malta https://www.google.com/maps/place/Roman+baths/@35.9165797,14.5036778,73m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x130e453d17183bff:0x2f6d720c7897d7de!2sFond+Għadir+Beach!8m2!3d35.9155994!4d14.5047453!16s%2Fg%2F11c0r4z3k8!3m5!1s0x130e453d997aaaab:0x2aaf0dc1de0d774e!8m2!3d35.9165157!4d14.5038595!16s%2Fg%2F11sskr6_j9?entry=ttu

But according to the local council’s facebook page when it shared this photo (they didn’t take the photo), they were built during the British period https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?story_fbid=878845397617697&id=100064767334211&paipv=0&eav=AfYRGKX34jrDJ5AuxuFU5SHiG8WiLpg42yMEYXZDkFKFtbbZPeS2GXwntwik1u1PZkc&_rdr

I do love a coffee, but try to limit my intake for caffeine reasons. The flavour is lovely. I’ve got a few different ways of brewing it at home, but a cafetiere is probably my go-to. I will admit to being quite partial to a mug of milky decaf instant coffee in the evenings too, but that feels… a bit disconnected from coffee proper.

I am a total failure as a Brit in that I do not actually like black tea. Green tea, mint tea, mint green tea, and yerba mate are all great though. The black tea is in my cupboards solely for guests only

I don’t know where you’re from so you might be familiar with this anyway, but this is actually really popular at football matches in the UK. It’s made with bovril rather than a stock cube, but the idea is the same

Macron’s first and second presidential elections were second round left-centre team ups, right? Is there a reason to think it wouldn’t happen this time?

Echoes of the Eye does at least give you a sort of second playthrough

I think Tunic is probably the closest feeling to Outer Wilds I’ve gotten so far. The moment-to-moment gameplay is quite different, but the broad scale feels close

yes, if I could do maths

strings are in base two, got it

They are actually there in the report… but barely. They’re much lighter than every other border. It doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere so I assume it was just a mistake
