  Is that what they did? It’s a legitimate question, I’m not finding info online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help prevent teenage agricultural addiction⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right that the comic wasn’t targetting specific modifications, just ‘GMO’ as if it was bad in itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help prevent teenage agricultural addiction⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well… depends on the GMO. Copyrighted Monsanto “terminator” seeds that sprout sterile crop is a big no-no in my book.

  Dang, in which country are you talking about Liège in elementary school?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every Time I Post⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooh, whoosh on me. Thanks!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every Time I Post⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I do it all the time :'( But if it’s an important subject or if someone asks for a serious answer, I’m always frank

  Well, if they tell the truth then it’s fine. But no way to know what they do with this redirect (to my knowledge at least).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And they reported that it was to gather the referral when going to websites, which constitutes their income. But it’s closed source so we don’t know. It could be tracking and selling the data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, it is go.bsky*app. I corrected my comment!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X’s dominance ‘over’ as Bluesky becomes new hub for research⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say that we’re sure it will. It has begun making the same shady practices like redirecting all out going links through go.bsky*com 🙄

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is that the rule? I always thought it was half the higher age plus seven to get the minimum.

  So 18 -> 22, 31-> 48

  I think it’s AI upscaling

  In which context would you use Hilfeleistungslöschgruppenfahrzeug instead of Feuerwehrfahrzeug?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The writers have run out of ideas⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  French speaker here, that’s indeed how I understand it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an engineer⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fully agree. I’ve seen a lot of people going into engineering for prestige or “by default” because they weren’t bad at math. It always made me a little sad because I found a lot of the courses truly fascinating and eye-opening and I wanted to nerd out with my teammates!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an engineer⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I can understand that sitting on a desk all day, reading and taking exams is a pretty harrowing experience for most.

  It looks like it’s my personal tastes that allowed me to enjoy school. And I really did enjoy it! Hopefully other people find something to do that they love.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is an engineer⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder why they hated school. Maybe the problem was the school and not the topic? Otherwise I feel sad for them disliking the topic they chose as a career path :(

  I feel like there’s so much interesting stuff out there, there must be something useful that they find at least interesting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Extended lungs⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Metal vocalists hate love him!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨explosions⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder who’s the artist behind the symbol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon thinks the French are posers⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a Belgian, this is my position as well. Fries is part of the Belgian culinary culture, but it’s chauvinism to claim they were invented in Belgium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calling in healthy⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty nice, it’s basically additional leave days! I still prefer European style with unlimited sick leave, but you need a certificate from your physician.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can pry these high voltage lines from my sizzling dead fingers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Does anyone know the artist?

  We need a comedy necromancy community

  Thanks, the nm were useful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If only it was like that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I checked for others who, like me, are too European to understand the joke: 50°F is 10°C.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ooooo lights⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s actually a very reasonable behavior if cars were normal predators: wait for the last moment before jumping out of the way so that the predator has to do a 180° and you’ve already left.

  I think that was a Calvin and Hobbes joke, wasn’t it?

  Here’s the secret: you pick it with a handkerchief on your finger.

  Thanks! I added “some nebulae” to remove any misunderstanding
