s_s, to linuxmemes in They just don't understand

Literally me in 2003. 😂

s_s, to linuxmemes in Pick wisely

Scoobuntu the only scooby-doo based desktop distribution.

s_s, (edited ) to linuxmemes in When you need to retire an old server

I wonder what hobbies this Julius Caesar guy gets into when he retires?

s_s, to lemmyshitpost in Non-native english speaker here. Need help with my work emails

Here’s one for you: “an apron” used to be “a napron”.

Linguists call this sort of change Rebracketing

s_s, to linuxmemes in Oh no ...

Linux is domination.

s_s, to asklemmy in Why does eating a frozen ready meal alone feel depressing even tho it's objectively good that I can have nice warm food easily

How much harder is it to steam frozen vegetables and air fry a healthy protein?

You’d be eating real food and had to do all of what–wait 8 minutes instead of 5?

s_s, to asklemmy in Why does eating a frozen ready meal alone feel depressing even tho it's objectively good that I can have nice warm food easily

The sodium content required to make it taste good suggest otherwise

Usually they’re just talking about the sodium levels.

s_s, to asklemmy in Cookie purchase or hell?

You cannot save the world by tipping.

That said, tip table service, delivery drivers and valets if local customs encourage it.

s_s, to mildlyinteresting in "Do you live in the Midwest?" by self-report

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northwest_Territory

Only half of Minnesota was part of the OG Northwest Territory, so in that sense, your friend is maybe correct.

s_s, to mildlyinteresting in "Do you live in the Midwest?" by self-report

Chicagoland.

s_s, to mildlyinteresting in "Do you live in the Midwest?" by self-report

Well, it used to be called the Northwest Territory.

Then we expanded even further west and it became the “old west”.

Then the “old west” came to mean the Southwest region pre-statehood.

So then they became the “Midwest”.

s_s, to unethicallifeprotips in Rent requirements in the US are nuts

Or…They threaten to do this and just keep your $600

It’s really the threat that motivates people, and it’s the free $600 non-refundable deposit that motivates the landlords.

s_s, (edited ) to asklemmy in What would you call a monarchist government where multiple families rules in turns?

So a monarch that can’t appoint their own heir really isn’t much of a monarch. The point of being a monarch is not being beholden to any rules.

This is just an oligarchy with rules that don’t benefit 3/4th of the participants–which is as odd as it sounds.

After all, the point of 4-5 year terms in modern democracies is that you don’t have to wait your whole life to take over.

It’s an interesting concept, but coming to this arangement–and maintaining it in perpetuity–must have been an extremely extrordinary set of circumstances.

Is the monarch required to be sacrificed every so often? That would kinda mimic the Aztec Festival of Toxcatl, where an impersonator of the god Tezcatlipoca was sacrificed every year after being treated like a god for the year. The god-man was usually selected from royal families. He had religous function and was provided for in specific ways (eg a harem) but he wasn’t a monarch.
