honestly I think they also just want an excuse to charge you extra, but the official reason is also safety, to prevent injury if a bag falls out of the overhead compartment during turbulence.

It’s for the safety of the people handling the luggage, not for the weight of the plane

Drug addicts are shamed and no one cares

Many people care, and why would that make it okay?

how would a cave form on the moon? impacts just leave craters right? And there’s no water that could move stuff around, and no tectonic activity

no this is a joke pretending that these are the lyrics to “Stripped” by Depeche Mode

That’s why I added the word “vanilla”

I agree except for the heteronormative part. What does the confusion of these terms have to do with heteronormativity?

Hi! Peter here to explain the mene. Since all the other answers are wrong, here’s the actual answer:

Top means the person who penetrates the other (the bottom). The term originates from gay sex, since there it can be very important who is penetrating who. But it can also be applied to other sex (not just homosexual cis men). In the meme above, the implication would be that l Lois uses a strap-on or other kind of dildo to penetrate the delivery driver.

Top often, but not always goes hand-in-hand with domination (dom/sub). Hence the dominatrix-like outfit Lois is putting on.

That is dom. Top means to penetrate the other

For vanilla cis hetero sex it doesn’t apply since the man is always the top and the woman is always the bottom.

top means the one who penetrates the other. What you’re describing is a dom

It kind of is, if the world were flat it wouldn’t look much different I reckon, except when you’re in exceptionally flat places like oceans or large lakes. And even then, due to clouds, fog, dust, smog and atmospheric scattering, things far away are harder to see

I think unless you are up very high, most tall distant things are covered by buildings and mountains.

If you are in, say, the eastern part of cairo, you might be only 20km from the pyramids of giza. However if there was a normal sized house even just 1km away in the same direction, it would be big enough to cover the pyramids entirely.

Then there is also mountain ranges. Even if you were on top of the Burj Khalifa with a really good telescope, multiple mountains would block your view. You would need to be multiple Burj Khalifa’s higher up in the air to see the pyramids of Giza from there.

And then there’s clouds, fog, dust, smog and last but not least atmospheric scattering of light, obscuring things more and more the further away they are.

THIS takes the cake? Tankies defending Putin and Stalin was fine? calling everybody and everything a liberal for having a opinion was funny? But somebody notices that Germany is once again participating in genocide and THAT is where you draw the line? :D

I see your point but you’re misinterpreting the meme. It’s saying the act of decorating the Brandenburg gate this way is the same, not the two countries.

Both are nationalism

Both are supporting apartheid and discrimination

Im both cases, Germany is complicit in genocide

Most programmers are interacting with containers these days.

The real question is why their build is taking so long.

Yep, if I’m not mistaken, your version has s = 4 + sqrt(2) which is approximately 4.70710678119. Very close to the ideal 4.67553009360455 !

But will waging war actually liberate Iran? Doesn’t that strengthen extremist powers?

I’m not asking rhetorical questions, but making it worse to make it better sounds like accelerationism and I’ve always been told that doesn’t work

People assume you’re being a dick, I read this as a joke from one parent to another lol

You’re not wrong but that’s not quite decentralization, that’s just not building a walled garden, but retaining the power to put up walls at any point. If most users are on BlueSky, then BlueSky retains the power. If they decide to end support of AT or to extend (break) it, they keep their user base while everything else is left in the dust.

This is why people are saying not to create an account on mastoson.social - it’s getting too big. And mastodon.social is run by a non-profit, whereas BlueSky is a for-profit company. True decentralization and federation are against their interests.
