Yeah but the OOP doesn’t seem to understand it wasn’t about the monarch himself. It was the parliament which contained no representatives from the colonies, therefore nobody to stand up for them in political talks. Nowadays they have career politicians and outright fascists, therefore nobody to stand up for them in political talks. It’s just a different flavor of the same oppression

I have a hard time believing that was anything more than complete incompetence on Russia’s part. Wagner starts a firefight with mixed American and Syrian resistance fighters, to which the US responds by calling the Kremlin to ask if Wagner are acting on orders from them. Russia tells the US that Wagner are not under direct orders from them and to deal with them as they see fit, and Wagner proceeds to get their ass kicked like they usually do. To me that reads a lot more like the usual Kremlin incompetence than any sort of planned provocation

Look up pictures of Nairobi. They’re not exactly living in the stone age

Ranch contains no mayonnaise. It’s base is buttermilk

In the US we have a lot of strawberry kiwi flavored drinks. Rarely just kiwi by itself though.

… this makes me slightly suspicious that you are, in fact, a deodorant taste tester.

And because of the little metal piece that would break off and prevent your phone from charging. You could just weasel it out with tweezers but most people would think their port was broken because they didn’t know it was even an issue.

I’m with you. Those spring-latch-things on the micro just give up on life and the whole thing becomes useless or tears apart the port you try to plug them into. I say leave them in the past

The stores around me in the US have a few different sections categorized like that. There’s usually an “Asian” and “Latin” section, but I see the European one often as well

Hope you made enough for all of us! It’s rude not to share you know… /s

Mine would initiate CatFu.exe the second I grabbed her paw like that so count your blessings lol

I don’t use them on Lemmy, nobody else really does so it seems out of place. If I’m talking to one of my friends, it’s a different story.

I had no small amount of issues with the one iPhone I ever owned, and have had no interest in trying a new one since switching to android. I’m further discouraged from even giving one a shot because of how difficult Apple made it to switch to android the first time, so if I didn’t like the phone I’d have to jump through hoops to switch back. That being said, I will never care what kind of phone someone else uses. If you’ve had great experiences with iPhones, I’m happy you found something you like.

Odd, I don’t get any ads on the shorts.

My vanced has shorts, you might need to update yours

I thought the same thing about Prigozhin, but somehow he’s still kicking. Either Putin is just biding his time or he doesn’t have the ability to just whack anyone he doesn’t like anymore.

Tasting History is a good one for historical recipes, and Chef Jean-Pierre for that kind of old-school TV chef vibe.

Why was that my first thought too lol
