What is this about even? What kind of install requires calls?

Useless without trackpads. I can just use any other controller instead of this.

Ma'am, those are buns. Could use a hot dog though.

Yeah, Nexus phones were great, but Pixel phones are also good. And Android is definitely not "getting worse".

Agree with the rest though.

If I wasn't dead, I would hate being a person in Middle English era either way.
But thanks for the interesting article.

I agree with you that the article is clickbaity, it implies that it's the default punishment. But technically, it isn't wrong. It's still possible to get death penalty for advocating for Taiwan independence.

Without looking at your post history, I think your downvotes are unjustified. You merely pointed out the clickbait. But it would be better if you presented it in more affirming way, cause right now your comment kinda reads like you're refuting the article and "it's not a death sentence, it's only a 3-year imprisonment", which is also not true.

Nice. Happy cake day!

In my experience, these mistakes are made primarily by native speakers. Because they learned it by hearing and can't tell the difference. Those who learned English as a second language learn through books and are explicitly taught the difference.

You mostly just repeated what I said. And it's not "pure" sugar, it's about 10-15% sugar. Which applies to almost all commercial drinks, like juices, teas and coffees. You can't single out sodas here, rest are just as bad. Just watch your sugar intake and you can drink sweet beverages fine.

I didn't know that CO~²~ is bad for bones. I'll have to look that up.

On Reddit I always assumed that so many people can't be that ~~stupid~~ uneducated and make these obvious mistakes for engagement bait.
But now that we are on Lemmy, and engagement gets you nowhere, I'm losing faith in humanity at a faster pace.

For those of us who need to do research to get this joke, I already did it. They mean Rubicon River (which is no longer in the north, so don't look for it there, it's on the opposite side of the knee).
