For a big part, they didn't. Of course in smaller circles people knew exactly what happened, but nationally it was denied or downplayed and covered up by the South. Until sometimes they couldn't. Like in the Emmett Till case, who was on a family visit from Chicago and was lynched in Alabama. This got a lot of media coverage nation wide for a change.

There's also the naughty programmer getting spanked by EFL

The fact that they dug up Oliver Cromwell's body for a posthumous execution. It's just insane on so many levels

That they're right. You should be able to question your own opinions. A lost art, it seems

Switzerland. Taking the very busy cableway down the mountain. People waiting in line to get in. Next stop, I see some people exiting and immediately getting in line again there. Apparently they thought you need to get in line again at every stop. Crazy. Sweet maybe, but crazy.

Wikipedia has a nice article about it. It's rare in European languages, but it does exist

In Dutch for example you can call it "gemeentepils", which will translate to something like communal lager.

Thanks people, some good replies here. I could demand a work phone, but that's impractical, dragging around two phones etc. I'd like all my 2FA in Aegis and not have to think and pick the right app first, let alone pick and unlock the right phone. The Shelter option is very nice, didn't know about that. If my company won't budge I'm doing that. When push comes to shove I could even use outlook that way on my phone.

Plus one for werewolves, a lot of fun and because of the debating element you get to see people getting creative, evasive, their ability to lie and what not

I'm not concerned per se and I definitely applaud the MFA requirement. I mean I hate MS and don't like apps I don't need, and I don't trust them, but as others pointed out this would mostly just be whiny. That's why I asked for reasons why restricting users to MS Authenticator would be preferable. If it's more secure or technically way easier and thus cheaper to maintain then fine, I'll find an acceptable way to comply. If not, then it's them who are whiny and I'd rather make the case to let us use whatever authenticator we already have installed.

The meaning is clear, but I never heard "it's curtains" irl. It seems it was popular in gangster movies mid 20th century and apparently (still?) well understood in the eighties, but are people in the US still saying that?

Sure, we know what not to do, but do we also know what we should do instead then? Sometimes you need kids to comply within a certain time frame and that's going to require some pressure one way or the other and no, it's not going to scar them for life

This could indeed be a valid reasoning. I'm going to investigate a bit. If you can easily cough up some MS documentation page on this topic please do

Someone here at lemmy suggested World War Z. Bought it, read it, loved it

No it was by trial and meant as punishment. Quite common even, but I first heard of it in relation to Cromwell c.s.

I used to build e17 / Enlightenment on Arch for years, was kinda cool and I learned a lot about building packages, but now I don't care anymore and I just use gnome. Or rather I'm using Firefox and a terminal and that's pretty much it. Oh and Gimp every once in a while. But most of the time it's fullscreen Firefox so who cares what de is behind it as long as it just works

Killing your ex paid off

I'd probably join a monastery, because that's where the knowledge and beer should be. And then I'd try to explain the value of hygiene, should save a lot of lives

In this regard I'm probably an ignorant simpleton, so what would be an example of common behavior that people think is fine but is in fact inconsiderate or offensive to others?

1. Once upon a time in the West
2. Dogville
3. Pulp Fiction
4. American Beauty
5. Fucking Åmal

Top rated because of the story (all), acting (all), music (except for 2), number of awesome quotes (3 and 4) and all in all just being amazing.

Also, since I saw someone mention it, I'd like to add that the worst movie of all time is imho 2001 A Space Odyssey. On IMDb I don't rate movies lower than 2 stars because I have 1 exclusively reserved for 2001 ASO. Watching it has been the most boring experience of my life, which btw is saying a LOT. Punishment in hell probably shifted to eternally watching this movie, with sinners wishing to go back to when they were physically tortured. I cannot stress enough how much I dislike this movie. You can be absolute sure that my top 5 is nothing like that.
