In order:
- Farming - I enjoy it, and it gives me lots of money.
- Fishing - I hate fishing, but it gives me lots of money.
- Mining - I like it, but for me it's just a way to gather resources.
do you want to give us your phone number for future sign-ins?
Urgh, that's probably the worst part.
I don't mind mail-based 2FA. However, since I see "random sites have your phone number" as a bigger threat than "skript kiddo might hack your password", if the 2FA must use my phone number, I'll genuinely think if I really need an account in that site, and probably give up.

Anyone else read this and excited for it?
Me. I love this series. Scarlet's personality is so atypical it's refreshing.
Expect memes like "$person deserves to meet Scarlet".
The case of Uralic vs. PBS + PGerm can be explained by interaction, but the Ainu doing the same is interesting.
In the Indo-European family it's mostly the Balto-Slavic and Germanic branches that avoided the original word, *h₂ŕ̥tḱos - the first one replaced it with "honey-eater", the second one as you said with "the brown one" (IIRC it would be *bʰérh₃os or similar)
If *h₂ŕ̥tḱos survived in Germanic it would've become **urght [ɜːt] in English, and probably **Urcht [uɐ̯χt] in German. Not sure in the Slavic languages, but Lithuanian (Baltic) does keep irštvà for "bear den", so the bear itself would be probably **irštas.
I still get teary when I see cute edits of Himmel and Frieren.
You'd probably cry at my wallpaper, then:
I often call them the "bittersweet ship" - you know it's canon, and you know it'll never happen. With then the author teasing the readers, for example with the ring or... well, ch117-8.
When most of your citizens would rather avoid your law than comply with it, you know you fucked it up.
They discreetly tell you about your bad breath. Or something like that.
Before people start talking about sugar cane ethanol, or how considerably better it is for the environment than maize ethanol, let me mention a single word:
DESERTIFICATION.
I criticised how apologetic itch.io's statement was towards the payment mafia, but credits where it's due:
Going nuclear was the smart move. I seriously doubt this censorship wave would've gathered so much attention if itch.io only delisted games with the content the mafia is currently going against. It helps to avoid that slippery slope, where people turn a blind eye to small violations of their agency until it's on something that personally matters to them.
It's also sensible to look for alternatives, so it doesn't need to rely on the mafia on first place. A bit too late, but better late than never.
