Very true! The whole domain squatting thing is pretty bizarre to me.

The .org seems to require a log in. I wonder what entity has these domains. I imagine the folks working to manifest the fediverse don’t have the capacity to buy up all the possible domains.

There used to be something called Conversation Exchange that was useful for for supplementation, but it was a pretty big jump from what I would get from Duolingo to speaking with someone there.

What alternatives are there to Duolingo?

This is frustrating to read. I used Duolingo over ten years ago, and was going to use it again to get back into some things, but now what? It seems that it is not what I remember it being. I only used it on a computer, and probably would now.

I am not sure about fashion, but I have found that repairing clothing is pretty cheap. Even if you pay a tailor to do so. Maybe patches can be fashionable but I just don’t want my toe to catch that little knee hole and create a problem.

Is it realistic, or practical, for Wikipedia to register in a similar manner in another country?

My Mom’s cat, who I found dumped almost 20 years ago and fed by hand but now only tolerates non-Mom entities, does this to me when I visit. Even when he has food…

I really like savory oatmeal, and I mostly do it with fish and fennel. Great meal any time of day.

Peanut butter mac is pretty good, too.

Another vote for the cheese and jam! Sweet and salty. I like it in a tortilla.

Ya, hopefully OP is in a safe place if need be.

I am unsure how to best do the pronouncing, but en Español: por favor (last part of favor is more pronounced) gracias (first part is more pronounced) In English: please thank you (pronounce more the part that makes sense for the situation)

What about you :)

Haha I worked with an adult who would do this. Mostly on lamps, they didn’t seem to happy about it and sometimes did it in front of others.

This was in the USA, but a long time ago. The cops were going to get a warrant supposedly but I had rented from that person for some time, in different units, and I think they made a judgement call knowing that is was going to happen, and if they approved I wouldn’t have to follow up on the warrant. That particular landlord was actually really great. I’m not sure if they made the right decision but I didn’t have to go to court or anything, which I would have if a warrant to search was made.

I have an uncle who was an attorney who lives in Philadelphia and did a lot of work on tenant’s rights in the 70s, but this was in a different state and definitely didn’t have as great a situation. Maybe it is better now.

I worked in a high school for a number of years where my role was to manage things like after school programming, spring break trips, and certain things during the school day. We would also do weekend adventure trips when possible. At one point during this, I had an awful roommate who was into a lot of illicit substances.

During my time living with said roommate, I took students on a two night backpacking trip over the weekend. I came back to see that my room had been (from my perspective) ransacked. I could not reach my roommate, and decided that one of their drug buddies may have robbed me. Later that evening, roommate came back and I learned them and a friend got too wild, cops were called, and a search was performed on the entire apartment. Including my room. Nothing was found in my room, but I had a lot of putting away to do. At least I was not robbed, I guess.

My landlord called me the next day to tell me they were called by cops for consent because I was unreachable, and landlord knew I would have nothing to hide, but felt terrible and began immediate eviction on roommate.

I agree with this. I’m not sure it is fair to compare Craigslist to social media, even tho it did have a social section. That section was closer to Usenet in my opinion. I wish Craigslist and/or the local classifieds were used more where I live.

The different things she did while sleep walking were pretty incredible: navigating steps, getting supplies, having conversations. As a younger child, I thought these things were hilarious and enjoyed them as sibling conversational material. Not really in a mean way, we just poked fun at each other. I rolled out of bed a lot. I am sure she had material from me 😆

I never realized that was a kbin only thing. I just assumed my instance/mbin blocked that feature.

My sister sleptwalked a lot at this point. She gave a lot of material to work with but I always had this in my back pocket 😄
