BellaDonna@mujico.orgtoToday I learned@lemmy.ml•TIL that Chile, Argentina, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Taiwan, Greenland, and the Phillipines are the only countries that you can tunnel through to hit another land mass. All others lead to water.5·2 months agoAm I stupid? If you can tunnel down and hit those other countries, than the opposite should be true, the countries you can drill down to are the same you drill down to from the other side, so that would include Canada and Southeast Asia according to this very map.

BellaDonna@mujico.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do you have “the” or “a” in your language? What language is it?4·2 months agoSi exista en Español y inglés, son artículos definidos ( el, la, los, las ) y artículos indefinidos ( un, una, unos, unas )
Yes, they exist in Spanish and English, as indefinite articles ( a, an ) and definite articles, which English has one ( the )
Japanese does not to my knowledge have any articles, これは何 could mean what is this or what are these. りんご could be one or more apples.
idk
BellaDonna@mujico.orgto Technology@lemmy.ml•Generative AI is not replacing jobs or hurting wages at all61·4 months agoI’m pro Ai, but that article title is brain dead. If it’s ever used, even once to replace human labor, and we know it has, then the title is already false.
BellaDonna@mujico.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What was a fact taught to you in school that has been proven false during your lifetime?12·4 months agoEh, it’s more like our definition of what a planet is changed. I still think of Pluto as a planet.
I only know they exist because of SA
Suicide is perfectly acceptable and should be a right, we should all have the choice of when we want to go. Some pain, physical or emotional is too much, or loss can be too great.
I don’t care if I could or can get better, I should be able to down some hemlock and leave.
What? No it doesn’t. かわいい is usually written in Hiragana. I’ve never seen it written this way. 可愛い I’ve never seen it with these Kanji. I mean it kinda makes sense, with what 愛 means, but I’ve never seen this.
I despise people that ghost others and I see it as nothing but maladaptive and sad. A person who ghosts is someone who lacks enough empathy to understand how damaging it is to others, it’s someone who lacks conflict resolution skills, who internalized Internet block / unfriend buttons in their mind as a viable way to terminate any relationship.
When I was younger, people didn’t do this shit. I grew up without the Internet and didn’t have it until I was an adult, younger people don’t realize it, but people didn’t use to do this, and it’s hurtful and infuriating how technology has affected this aspect of human behavior.
BellaDonna@mujico.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do most people stay in centralized social media platforms when the Fediverse exists?2·5 months agoYou don’t get me. My instance isn’t Federated with lemmy.world and other large instances. I just don’t see the majority of comments or content you do on this account.
BellaDonna@mujico.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do most people stay in centralized social media platforms when the Fediverse exists?5·5 months agoIt’s far more complicated than email, at least I can send an email to any valid address from any other address by default ( mostly ) - Lemmy / Fediverse is like needing multiple email addresses that each one can only email some of the others, and you might not even get the response someone sent you unless the content is literally carried back to you.
I have multiple accounts on multiple instances, and sometimes I come across posts I read with one account, but my comments or the responses to those comments just aren’t there, so you only get a portion of what is out there.
It’s kinda a terrible experience in that way.
BellaDonna@mujico.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's your funniest professional deformation?5·5 months agoInventorying and alphabetizing all of my physical media.
Retail for a decade.
BellaDonna@mujico.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the difference between nazi and facist?51·5 months agoI feel like each answer here is wrong and right.
Literally, Nazi was a shortened version of National Socialist, and was the anglicized name for the German party that Adolf Hitler rose to power in.
In the vernacular, Nazi is a somewhat catch all to describe various fractions and identified ideologies which the broad usage I think hurts discourse.
Some people mean in this general way, any racist, or ethnostate advocate could be considered a Nazi, as could any racist or fascist group.
I’m not for any of it, but the fluidity of usage ends up feeling like hyperbole when someone is not a literal Nazi, or doesn’t even share Nazi values and beliefs.
When describing our enemies, I think static definition matters, because inaccuracies can be an attack surface to dismantle arguments.
Except I did play Winback lol
Honestly it ruined my life in significant, permanent ways. The social ostracization that happens by being in different settings, prevented me from learning a lot of basic socialization skills until my 20s.
I’ve struggled my whole life to ‘catch up’ to people my age, so many of my friends are not in my exact age bracket, instead being in mid to late twenties instead of forties and most are surprised to find I’m as old as I am because I don’t look or act it.
It took me three decades to get out of poverty and have my first career job.
0/10 would not recommend.
BellaDonna@mujico.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do some videos online have these diagonal shining lines moving on them periodically ?11·7 months agoThat’s exactly what is happening here, additionally slightly sped up or slowed down audio, jump cuts, added music, pretty much anytime a clip is edited like this, it’s to prevent automated copyright tools from flagging and removing.
Until we build a particle accelerator that does something novel that even the rest of the universe never managed to do
Negro, just means black, but in English it’s a mess.
