Not sure if logging in would “solve” it, but I’ve been unable to watch YouTube videos while on a VPN on desktop with FreeTube and on mobile with LibreTube for a month or so now.

Also, on FreeTube the recommended videos on the sidebar usually include a ton of unrelated news channels. I’ve got so many of them blocked now but they keep showing up.

Jello salad is definitely a thing in the Midwest. Source: every Thanksgiving I had as a kid

fwiw FreeTube is a desktop client.

I wasn’t arguing against it, I was saying that it does happen.

fwiw I have — both the stereotypical “I’m 1/X native American” and also “I’m X% Dutch”, the latter due to folks taking pride in having Dutch heritage, real or imagined, where I grew up.

From context it just sounds like they were saying that a post with that link followed immediately after this one in their lemmy feed. Coming off unnecessarily aggressive.

Many if not most religions historically didn’t have a word for their particular belief system; the scholarly name for Germanic paganism is “Germanic paganism” because pre-Christian Germans didn’t have a name for their shared beliefs. Sometimes you may see neologisms or names for neopagan movements applied to the now-dead religion — I’ve seen Germanic neopaganism (aka “Heathenry”)'s less commonly-used “Asatru” used for the original religion in a game. Same with others like “Kemetism”, which refers to the neopagan movement and not the ancient Egyptian religion.

Not a historical scholar but, to my understanding, for a lot of folks “what’s your religion” would have been a nonsensical question because that’s just how the world works and you wouldn’t think of it as being a belief system separate from physically evident reality. Folks are free to correct me on that.

At least northern Asia will be fine

If OP liked AC6, they’ll love Project Wingman!

Alternatively, if they liked AC6, they’ll love TF2!

To add on to what silverchase said, I played 2 first and got the gist of what happened. I do recommend playing Portal 1 if you can get it working, but you won’t be lost without it.

I’ve not played it but Empires of the Undergrowth is an actual ant RTS that came out 2 years ago lol

fwiw not an American thing. I’ve never seen pasta served with meat to the side like that irl.

Was expecting a photo of Sandy the Pony, a coin-operated ride at Meijer supermarkets.

fwiw “takeover” is a noun; “take over” would be the verb.

“Lookout” would also be a noun, though their example of “look out” is a verb, yes.

No. My high school was 6 55-minute classes with 5 minute breaks between to get to your next class, plus a 45-minute lunch. 7 classes if you elected to take another class starting at 7am instead of the usual 8am. School was just under 8 hours long with 7 classes.

Ugh. Yeah, my mom intentionally allows push notifications from Amazon, Temu, tons of fast food chains, and a bunch of other sources on her phone. It goes off like every thirty seconds.

I don’t get push notifications unless it’s a text or a 2FA email. And for that matter, I don’t understand how people get so many emails or, if they start to, why they don’t unsubscribe from or block all the spam. I get an average of maybe 3 emails a week on my personal accounts.

The Military Selective Service Act was passed in 1948 and registrees were drafted during both the Korean and Vietnam Wars to draft 1,529,539 and 1,857,304 individuals, rezpectively.

Not discounting knowledge decay, but fwiw it could be interpreted as the poorly-scoring teenagers who become adults lowering the average, which builds up year by year as their portion of adults steadily increases and the higher-scoring adults die off, rather than the individual adults scoring lower every year. Could totally be existing adults continuing to score lower as years pass, though.

Haven’t looked into the sources, just adding my two cents on the graphic.

It’s the flag of Israel, specifically. He had ties to former Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Israeli intelligence services; apparently Mossad was involved in his island’s security and supposedly he worked closely with them. He also funded the IDF through the US nonprofit Friends of the Israeli Defense Force and other settler efforts through the Jewish National Fund. Calling out Israel is not antisemitic; Israel is a state, not a religion or ethnicity.
