or maybe the city council couldn't be bothered to move the sign a few meters to the left, and the fact that the construction still went through and nobody complained or pointed out any possible problems means that it was a non-issue

god i wish ancient enemies wouldn't lead to modern problems, signed - a polish person

as a 25 year old i agree, there's no way xbox 360 is only 5 years younger than me, that thing came out recently what the hell

so many launchers to pick from! i personally like Modrinth the most

oh yeah and most of those launchers allow for easy modding. want a modpack? click install, wait for it to download, and then just click play in the automatically created instance. want only a few mods but don't want to check endless dependency lists? what is it 2015? also just click install, the launcher will automatically download dependencies (and the right versions of them too!). worry that you'll install a fabric version when you wanted forge? or a mod for 1.20 when you need 1.20.1? relax as when you click "add mods" the launcher automatically applies filters that only show you mods that are tagged for your specific version (filters that you can still disabled though, it doesn't lock you out of installing a mod that's not explicitly tagged as fit for your version, but you know it'll work on it)

though don't get too comfy slapping that install button, there're still two things that can't be automated - incompatibilities between mods, and straight up broken files. launchers nowadays significantly reduce the number of headaches you get when modding, but they don't entirely remove them lol

i always use this as an example of how deeply the languages we use shape how we understand the world

even the answer to the question "how many fingers do you have?" changes depending on the language, and that's a physical fact that seems to not have any degree of subjectivity to it

i believe this is the job of science communicators who try to explain complicated processes and ideas so that people outside of that specific scientific field can also understand what's going on

i've met a few! but... i'm polish, so you know :D i'm glad most of the bad eggs are contained here though

i think the biggest ??? happens to Poland when we're talking "central vs eastern europe". because geographically - pretty central, historically - pretty eastern, and right now? who knows

let's not compare people who struggle with learning difficulties that are out of their control to people who choose to make bad decisions every day

isn't china struggling with deflation nowadays, though? they can afford things perfectly well, they just don't do it

(correct me if i'm wrong i know fuck all about economics)

you look in a mirror, think hard, and undo that

the TV is big and slow, a computer, more nimble, can outrun the ads, the TV is too slow to even attempt dodging
