It's time to mentally prepare yourselves for this
  • oh so now we're right back around at time zones again, wonderful.

    except now it's even more fun because there is zero standardization at all, but users are still going to expect for their computing devices to tell them a time that makes sense. Ah, but culture X thinks the day starts "6 hours before sunrise" and culture Y is more "the day starts when the sun is halfway between sunset and sunrise" and culture Z thinks something even more insane. Oops, now we've got locale-based time zones. Locale awareness is honestly even worse than time zones because its just so damn unexpected at times. My own computer has a horrifying mix of US and Europe locale settings, and that is already crazy enough.

    stupid people will always think everything is just so simple.

    sleep paralysis
  • I can fall asleep physically while remaining awake mentally with relative ease, I've never had the entry paralysis ever associated with the typical exit paralysis sleep demons.

    The worst that happens is my brain is just incredibly disoriented when I open my eyes after it thinks Im asleep. The paralysis is pretty fun actually, sometimes it can be a real challenge to break.

    Is arguing "The west does not just send weapons. Europe also helps Ukraine in other ways" nationalism?
  • In this case the morons at lemmy.ml have likely defined nationalism as "with regard to any nation that isnt communist or previously communist" and "without disagreeable (to tankies) opinion"

  • No, these are people who are either incredibly dumb or have somehow never seen anyone write "911" down but have heard somone joking about "dialing nine eleven"
