when modern drinking is born, we'll stop calling it alcohol and start calling it cohol instead

LB is for @schratze specifically!

apparently polycule-de-sac is some cute marine animal

@cadxdr the finnish flag is just a christianized version of the french flag after all the reds aka socialists were executed in the civil war

@schratze i started to notice that at around the time when dark themes started trending in everything, that was the time when light themes started suck in everything.

we had completely good and even brilliant light themes for a quarter of century, but apparently nowadays making them is an impossible task.

i almost stepped on a hedgehog when i was walking just while ago.

i took a shortcut through a hedgerow, and it was there chilling in the grass behind the hedge, true to its name.

ah, these summer nights.

@micke that's what happened in finland too: YLE was forced to change their online news so that it must always be accompanied with moving pictures.

the result seems to be that there are as much text articles as before, but they have unnecessary videos attached to them nowadays :|

@n8chz @micke yeah, the thing is that commercial media tried to curb the amount of freely available news reporting by YLE, but luckily that didn't happen in the end.

lots of the videos and interactive things they do nowadays are obviously there just for the new requirement, and the news wouldn't lose anything without them.

And this isn't any trendy gentrification cafe but a plain old place that even has the same window tapings as in the 90s

From my today's tootings one could deduce that i've travelled to Borgå. The purpose though is unclear to you.

Well, my father's in hospital, and it may be the last chance to see him.

No need to console me, i've already processed this and we weren't that close to begin with.

I'm so used to eating in student coffees that the prices in this regular coffee are just stunning

it's only world war if it happens in the europe region of the world, otherwise it's just sparkling conflict

pronouncing the tl in Outlook as it is pronounced in nahuatl

going for a short walk from 2.30am to 3am wasn't probably the best move before trying to go to bed, but i wanted to get the letter to mailbox right away, and let me tell you, these summer nights are just so nice to go for a walk, it'd be pity to waste them sleeping

(yeah, sleeping can easily be done during daytime, that's useless time anyway)

so there's some islands in a river right in the middle of a city. what to put there? well nothing but parking of course!

about mastodon.green's language list: it's just outrageous how even all the minority languages in europe are not allowed (in addition to the majority of world's languages).

for finland's part, for example, you couldn't use any of the sami languages, romani, karelian or sign languages of finland there.

and why? as if people using oppressed minority languages really was a moderation headache.

just copypasteing this from our instance about/more page:

”Here you can use any language you like, and use of different languages is actually strongly encouraged!”

”New moderators are appointed when necessary, to cover the volume and common languages on the instance.”

though i must say that with an average report volume of one report from other people than myself per year this whole moderation business hasn't become overwhelmed, even with all these ”””exotic””” languages

@schratze

SPERRE EUGEN!!!

@AaronTheGuy fun fact: a poll with a time limit of 7 days may underrepresent the part of population that uses fedi less than once a week ;)
