How? Genuinely curious. Their name is everywhere and I often see them discuss with people who disagree with them.

Plastic coating to make the bag more resistant to heat.

Yea, the name is originally in latin res publica, meaning "public matter". In opposition to a kingdom that is the private domain of a single person.

But the players want something new! Hence a snow land.

Too late that was 1955-1975.

It works I think, it says in the message at the end that it includes sharing personal information.

I love how it seems we all put a mythological creature at the front of our ships.

Canada isn't a British colony anymore. Canada has its own king, who is also king of the UK, and also of Australia, and also of New Zealand.

I take issue with comparing the success rate of violent revolutions to non-violent ones. I think that violent revolutions happen when non-violent revolutions are impossible or unfeasible. The fact that they have less success doesn't mean much when trying to do a non-violent revolution would likely have no chance of success.

Historical circumstances will vary and so no single strategy is better for all cases.

Sméagol is from a race that was closely related to hobbits, but not exactly hobbits.

It's for the Greenlanders. Not Trump.

I think this is for the Greenlanders. It's to make them feel acknowledged by the Danish and their monarch as an integral and equal part of their country.

Wow! That all makes sense!

Did you take those ideas from somewhere else, or did you come up with them yourself?

I accept your experience as valid. However, I do see men and boys being collectively refered to as "males". I propose that the disparity may be explained by the places we frequent. But I also agree that the "males" noun don't seem to be used as often. This, coupled with how the "female" noun is used as a slur by misogynists, make it clear to me why women are offended by it, and it's why I've stopped using it.

I think mysoginists just have a lot of spotlight on them, or are vocal. I hadn't been aware of "female" being used as a slur before it was pointed out here on Lemmy. I think "female" as a noun is still used neutrally far more often than as a slur.

Yea, Kurzgesagt is excellent.

It's been a while I heard of anyone thought he was a genius. It used to be common to believe so, years ago. I kind of belived it too. But it became clearer and clearer how much of a golden spoon moron he was, and now I find it's a rarity to find those who still believe he's a genius.

It's possible she intended to use it for something else, such as scrapping food from dishes (sounds like a bad idea, but at least it's safe hygiene-wise)

What?

I always thought adding -gate to indicate a scandal was super dumb.
