Almost certain that the person you’re replying to is saying that the article should say that it’s a war crime, not that it isn’t one because the article doesn’t say so.

Yeah, though I can see how it looks like it’s going the other way at first glance, what with the fish facing the wrong direction.

Not sure if logging in would “solve” it, but I’ve been unable to watch YouTube videos while on a VPN on desktop with FreeTube and on mobile with LibreTube for a month or so now.

Also, on FreeTube the recommended videos on the sidebar usually include a ton of unrelated news channels. I’ve got so many of them blocked now but they keep showing up.

Many if not most religions historically didn’t have a word for their particular belief system; the scholarly name for Germanic paganism is “Germanic paganism” because pre-Christian Germans didn’t have a name for their shared beliefs. Sometimes you may see neologisms or names for neopagan movements applied to the now-dead religion — I’ve seen Germanic neopaganism (aka “Heathenry”)'s less commonly-used “Asatru” used for the original religion in a game. Same with others like “Kemetism”, which refers to the neopagan movement and not the ancient Egyptian religion.

Not a historical scholar but, to my understanding, for a lot of folks “what’s your religion” would have been a nonsensical question because that’s just how the world works and you wouldn’t think of it as being a belief system separate from physically evident reality. Folks are free to correct me on that.

At least northern Asia will be fine

I’ve not played it but Empires of the Undergrowth is an actual ant RTS that came out 2 years ago lol

fwiw not an American thing. I’ve never seen pasta served with meat to the side like that irl.

fwiw “takeover” is a noun; “take over” would be the verb.

“Lookout” would also be a noun, though their example of “look out” is a verb, yes.

No. My high school was 6 55-minute classes with 5 minute breaks between to get to your next class, plus a 45-minute lunch. 7 classes if you elected to take another class starting at 7am instead of the usual 8am. School was just under 8 hours long with 7 classes.

Ugh. Yeah, my mom intentionally allows push notifications from Amazon, Temu, tons of fast food chains, and a bunch of other sources on her phone. It goes off like every thirty seconds.

I don’t get push notifications unless it’s a text or a 2FA email. And for that matter, I don’t understand how people get so many emails or, if they start to, why they don’t unsubscribe from or block all the spam. I get an average of maybe 3 emails a week on my personal accounts.

The Military Selective Service Act was passed in 1948 and used during both the Korean and Vietnam Wars to draft 1,529,539 and 1,857,304 individuals, rezpectively.

Yes, no, QWERTY; I use the F and J nubs to center my hands but I dont’t keep them in the “correct position” as was taught in my elementary typing class. Regular computer use lends itself to getting good at typing quickly. I only have to look for some special characters that I don’t often use.

I tried starting an audio call (had a telephone icon) yesterday but it turned on my webcam without prompting. Didn’t see a setting for it not to do that, and that’s a wild default.
