he/him
I also had a coworker named America and I’m pretty sure her parents were immigrants - English was pretty clearly not my coworker’s first language. I think it works for her situation. (Funny enough, it was her reckless behavior that caused me to spend my last few weeks at that job on light duty…)
There’s also America Ferrera, I don’t think the name is that weird.
That’s not really weird for American road sizes. If I had to guess that’s more of a stroad with speeds around 64 km/h (40 mph), possibly officially 48 km/h (30 mph) with everyone doing 10 mph over the speed limit because the roads aren’t designed to slow traffic to safe city speeds. Most of our roads are like this, and it’s a contributor to our abhorrent pedestrian fatality rate.
Didn’t Peace Corps get defunded?
(This is Lemmy, all y’all have definitely seen this, worth reposting anyway.)
I’ve got one of me that was fun and not actually insulting, I worked at Disney across from a caricature art booth and one of the artists world draw nearby Cast Members when it was slow. Although I’m not sure where it is at the moment because it’s not actually hung on the wall.
A less bizarre one of a couple could be cute.
A former roommate of mine had a papillon that lived in the master bedroom with three cats when she wasn’t home, and she’d be gone for 8+ hours at a time… the dog learned to use the litter box from the cats.
I was a newly out queer teenager when OSC started running his mouth about gay marriage. At the same time I was a big Harry Potter fan.
Fuck Orson Scott Card, but he doesn’t seem quite so bad anymore.
I had that book as a kid and I’d completely forgotten about it until now!
Lemmy will upvote anything, this is just a Bean in an empty soda case.
Funny enough, the biggest Indigo Girls fan I’ve ever met was assigned male at birth (they came out as non-binary several years ago but is still very traditionally masc presenting for reasons).
I’m glad it’s not a thing here because as a “positive” incentive I feel like it drives some users to vapid karma farming over actually interesting and new content. That said, I occasionally miss it when there’s some unpleasant commenter douchenozzeling all over a thread and it’s an easy way to see if someone is always an unpleasant ass or if they’re having a bad day and otherwise make valuable contributions to Lemmy.
I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I don’t think it’s paranoid to think the three letter agencies have this tech. Back in 2013 NSA could do it, seemingly through a virus. Now? It’s probably more trivial on certain phones. Apparently the “find my iPhone” feature works on the most recent generations of iPhones even when they’ve powered off, and some phones will ring a set alarm when when off (I’ll get back to you with an edit if my older smartphone has that feature).
If you’re being specifically targeted by three letter agencies it might be a concern. Everyone else I don’t know.
Anymore? This is a pic of me last week! I’ve gotta quit leaving my packer out.
That’s really funny because Internet Archive has everything I had as a kid and more.
And there’s stuff that just can’t be made into a Flatpak. Someone mentioned in another thread that they wanted to use Waydroid on their deck, Bazzite has it built in but Steam OS doesn’t - maybe there’s a way to layer it on SteamOS but that’s sort of tricky to do (idk I don’t have a Steam Deck but I run Bazzite on my laptop).
Roller Coaster Tycoon 1 and 2 (shout-out to OpenRCT!), Island of Dr Brain, Oregon Trail 3rd edition, Math Blaster, and a bunch of little educational games that nobody else has ever heard of from Ohio Distinctive Software.
Some form of translation, ai or not, along with an image description option (that users would proofread before posting) could actually be cool.
