Hearing from my parents about the shitty, uncertain times they've already been through. Like the threat of nuclear annihilation during the Cold war, the division of Germany, various economic crises... everything was eventually followed by better times. Will everything work out in the long run? Who knows. But I don't think we're on some kind of linear path where everything will just get worse, forever.

It's a pretty normal thing in Japanese, yes. You'd know from context which meaning it is based on who you're talking to.

I have a Z flip and while it's far from perfect, foldable flip phones are great and I'd choose them over a same-spec regular phone every day. Much more convenient to carry in my pocket compared to a slab and basically having an included tripod for photos is pretty nice as well.

Especially with the second "s" apparently standing for "satanists". Pretty odd for a pastor, though she writes on another post that a friend created that account for her and she doesn't know anything about the site. IDK

Yeah, while I'm not really a fan of JSO, sending people to jail for damaging a wooden frame is pretty insane, for 2 years no less. Would be overkill even if they had damaged the paintings IMO.

Pretty sure both chains offer vegan pizzas. So then it's only an atrocity against Italian cuisine (not because it's vegan, but because you could've chosen a proper pizzeria).

I've only eaten at Pizza Hut once and it was in Shanghai, in 2008. It was fine. Never had Domino's. There are excellent Italian pizzerias all over Europe, so I never feel the need to go for a chain.

Definitely unethical. Domestic cats are already a huge problem for wild bird populations. Why would you want to intentionally make that problem even worse?

It's also a problem that's getting worse. When I was in school in the 2000s, like 80% of the kids took the bus and half of the remaining ones (like me) came by bike. Now my niece goes to the same school and she's one of very few kids still taking the bus there. The schoolyard turns into a chaotic mess of SUVs every morning. I guess it goes hand in hand with helicopter parenting becoming normalized.

Yes, you can pair used ones without any problem. They're not locked to a specific piece of hardware.

Schon Wahnsinn wie das einfach als Teil des Lebens hingenommen wird, aber wenn es mal nach vielen Jahren eine einzige Terrorattacke mit 3 Toten gibt ist das ein Notstand der sofort radikale Maßnahmen erfordert.
