they sound like a better person than i.

i left reddit because i couldn't stomach the absurdity and now my stomach hurts from seeing yet another rally cry for defederation on lemmy.world and i find myself wishing that they would.

but there are so many of them that can easily drown out any voice

The worst part was that I was already paranoid about literally this exact thing happening.

same here except i accidentally smeared roach guts on my bare chest while scratching the itch that disturbed my sleep.

i take it to mean that the definition depends on how you've learned about it.

a real world example is world war 2: if you're an american it started in 1941; meanwhile if you're chinese, it started in 1931; and if you're swiss or scandinavian it lasted until the 1950's

even in the same country it can be different, another real world example is the mexican rebellion of the early 20th century. if you're a religious/social conservative it went from 1921 to 1933; if you're not, it went from 1921 to 1923 and then there several followup wars like the cristero rebellion that lasted until 1933

conflicts don't cleanly start and end; they windup and then winddown slowly and it's up to you to define where the start and end are; and since we're all have different definitions, others will have different dates.

it's not a theory, it's fact: the smell is rotting flesh (and dairy for most) and animals on earth rely on it to know if something is nearby them.

Explains why so many are quick to claim indigenous ancestry even though they would probably be claiming European ancestry if they lived in Latin America.

I'm DEEPLY fascinated by this phenomenon since it has such stark implications about my heritage to know that I'm 2/3rds indigenous by DNA but do not qualify as such under any rules in any location and family lore has zero mention on it.

A list would be pointless effort because those who support him will ignore it and the rest already know

Nothing at all....

If it makes you feel any better: I got to experience number 1, 2 and 3 of the "best" passenger train systems in this country and it's crystal clear that each city's elected officials would gleefully destroy the trains like Los Angeles did, if weren't so politically toxic to suggest it now:

NYC's is BEARLY passable as a primary means of transportation (unless you're in Manhattan) and it gets exponentially worse the further from the city center you are located. Chicago is number two on that list and is so unreliable past 9pm that you either have depend on uber or a bus (buses are just as bad after 9pm) and number 3 is so disappointing that I won't acknowledge it by name because it literally shutsdown a majority of its tracks after 8pm forcing everything through such a circuitous paths that it turned my 12 minute drive into a 2.5 hour long exercise in patience and it completely stops before 10pm; before 7pm on the weekends.

The streets were empty back from 2007 to 2019 and it was pretty clear the whole time that it wasn't sustainable, but back then the bars and clubs were blamed

in addition to what others have said: this is also a classic symptom of territorial insecurity so maybe there's a stray cat spraying the outsides of the walls of your home.
