That's what I had to explain to my mother; Ain't no rule says a dog can't shit in our yard.

I lived next to air bud as a kid. My mom hated the dog because the owners would let it roam around and it would shit in our yard.

Where does it say imperialist is a no-go?

Does it say they don't want an imperialist nation?

Do they mean the tent where he did all the debating that made him famous?

I didn't like the guy, but they aren't worshipping the muder scene. They want a picture in the tent that he was known for.

I didn't read anything in the article to justify the sensationalist title.

A show about a intergalactic federation of planets hosting different species of beings shouldn't be... political? That's precisely the only thing it has to be.

Since it's a series; sometimes it's a romance, action, mystery, suspense, thriller, and even comedy. All of which could be argued for or against, but to say it shouldn't be political is like asking it to ease-up on the science-fiction. How?!

So, this has been spam posted to a bunch of communities by users with no history. This is just a musk bot.

I'm sure I'm late to the game on that one. Found it on Lemmy. Super fun geography puzzle/trivia game.

Spouse is Kenyan and I have learned a fair bit of Swahili. My spouse is fluent in English, Swahili, and their tribal language which I know basically none of.

I never could have imagined how much it would help me understand them better by understanding their language. It has profoundly changed me as a person.

Language is not purely functional, it is woven into who we are and how others perceive us to be. I started learning to simply participate more with them and their family, now I am experiencing my brain be rewritten.

As a person who only spoke English well into adulthood and then is rapidly learning a very different language and culture, I feel like I have a POV that nobody else in my life understands.

Thanks for asking :)

Do the bats have razor sharp talons?

 

My coworker is an idiot and can't explain his own thoughts. Nice guy though.

He said he was reading and discovered that Ukrain started the Russian war by building a Dam that would starve a community of water. He didn't know when or where, but was sure it was before any invading or annexing.

I can't find any information on this. I've been googling and googling. Nothing. I can't ask him for sources because if I get him going again he won't stop.

Please help if you know anything.
