I still don't get the people's obsession with these people.

Like, I saw the clip and thought that it was amusing, but can anyone please tell me why is it worldwide news?

I mean, in the end an animal is an animal. I have had cats and dogs and don't really like to see them hurt because (in the West) there is no purpose for their existence besides being pets.

Cows and livestock, on the other hand, only exist for food and we keep breeding them for that.

At the same time, is don't really see a problem with the cultures that eat cats and dogs, in the end, it's all just animals and it doesn't matter if I think that some of them look cuter than others

I can thank Minecraft for making me learn how to use the computer because I wanted to install mods and for learning English because Minecraft let's plays were like crack to 10 year old me and basically all of them were in English

From time to time, just some veggies to go along with air fried chicken.

But that's because I don't own a stove, all of my cooking is handled by an air fryer, rice cooker, and the microwave

Well, I'm not the first, not third, but don't really intend to become second

Not even going international on a train can be more expensive.

It cost me almost the same price to take the ICE (not that one yanks) from one part of Germany to another, to visit my mom than it was for me to fly from Germany to Latvia on Ryanair

Kinda out of luck that you are probably in the US.

Something like an Aprilia RS50/Classic 50 would be a nice option.

Light (around 110kg with battery and fluids), has a simple 50cc, 2-stroke engine, but also has clutch and 6 gears (so more frequent maintenance than a 4-stroke, but dead simple to work on), and only 3/4 size of a real bike.

Without the restrictor in the exhaust, mine went 55mph+

Also, if you want to do tuning on it, there is a boatload of aftermarket parts for the engine to make it faster.

We were taught highschool physics from a book published around 20 years before I was born

Idk, I have been writing in cursive for so long that writing anything else feels weird. Cursive just has a neat flow to it

[–] spookex@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

There's a thing that I sometimes think about. I write in cursive by default and live in Japan.

Me being Latvian, chances are that that I'm the first Latvian person that someone has encountered. The question is: how many people thought that I wrote something in weird Latvian script and not just English in cursive?
