I think I saw her once, actually! A crow was harassing one of the small ones – it looked like it was trying to catch it to eat, probably?

A seagull saw what's going on and went full-blown "I'm a parent as well, you absolute damn fucker!", and chased the crow away. And really not just a few tens of metres away or so, but really chased them away from the whole general area where the mom with really cool hair was swimming with her family!

When the seagull came back, I gave it something nice to eat, because, damn, flying rat or not, that was a cool move! And I happened to have something seagull compatible, not just some bread that will do more harm than good.

Verify it, then put a warning along the lines of
"This is the official profile of a fascistic terrorist organization. Beware."

Yeah, that makes sense. But why just verify? What non-evil is there that you achieve with that?

No, it absolutely is not "what it is".

This is definitely a problem that can and must be fixed.

Okay, in other words: I won't be buying any more Steam games 🐳

Got enough stuff in my library to last until GoG starts working nicely enough on Linux 🐧

I've been often wondering, how will we use all this car infrastructure once people advance past private cars?
What will become of that drive-in McDonald's?

I could imagine some sort of a small-scale factory using the building?
Multi-storey parking garages could also serve as storage space, maybe? The tilted floors make many things more difficult, though.

That's pretty much the Finnish language :D

Just check out the difference between these two phrases written in our goose-y language:
::: spoiler Tapaan sinut.
means I will meet you.
:::

::: spoiler Tapan sinut.
means I will kill you.
:::

(You can use your machine translation of choice to check the meanings of those two phrases, if you wish.)

Because the Russia is committing a genocide in the territories it has occupied from Ukraine, and Ukrainians are fully aware that the same would be done in all of Ukraine if it was to surrender.

As long as Ukraine does not surrender, the Russia will keep bombing their cities and many will die.
If it surrenders, there will be much more Ukrainians dying than just that amount.

Not surrendering is a way for them to stay alive.

They know they cannot surrender without getting an extremely strong punishment from the Russia, so they won't.

The word "celebtate" fits the comment surprisingly well!

EDIT: The celebtation is over. Now were back to merely celebrating. Ah well, guess that'll do.

How about GTA2? That's by far the best game in the series! When are we going to get to play that one again?

In the video you can see that this didn't happen in reality.

Largely true.
But the ambassadors don't really have the luxury of that. Their job is to represent the United States and they are required to generally support what their country's leadership says. So, their job is to make some semblance of sense of what Trump is saying. Or, alternatively, they can quit.

Where's this pic taken at?

Crows are generally awesome! I've only ever met one that I really didn't like. Want to read a story featuring that one? 🙃

I would assume that was probably what is called pool fire. If you heat a candle enough, you can get its stearin to vaporize before it's lit on fire. The vaporized stearin burns very hot, causing the rest of the stearin to vaporize even faster, meaning there will be more fire, etc.

That's why you should never put many tealights next to each other. They can be very skilled in causing a pool fire. And looking at the photo of a lot of candles shoulder to shoulder to each other, one would assume from the photo that there will eventually be a pool fire. Especially since there's a tent that can do a good job directing the oxygen flow.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%90or%C4%91e_Martinovi%C4%87_incident tells: "The collapse of this taboo in the coverage of the Martinović case heralded the growth of nationalism that was to lead to the country's collapse in 1991."

Once upon a time there was a crow who was befriended with a talking cow that really, really liked to sit in a swing! (The original name of the book actually implies that the cow has a child, which is kind of freaky, because there is zero mention about the child, and actually reason to believe the child is nowhere around anymore. Why is the book not talking about the cow's trauma at all?!)

In any case, once the cow had climbed to a tree for fun, and it was very important that the farmer won't notice, because cows are not supposed to climb trees. The crow did a good job warning the cow when the farmer was approaching and damn it, I cannot remember what the hell the book tells, wait, maybe in the children's room there's another book about the same two animals!

...nope, couldn't find it. But, would you like to hear a story of a father who recently found three children's books that should have been brought back to the library a week ago?

I hope this story about a crow sated your appetite for crows!

Something even more seagull-compatible than that. I don't remember what food I happened to have with me, because this happened some, 5-ish years ago? (It also was not a surgical mask, BTW!)

"It's wasn't me that picked your butt, it was this hand of mine here!"

You're here. For me this has been a good replacement for whatever I was earlier using Facebook for.

What is there on Facebook that PieFed or Lemmy don't cover?

Spending 100 million on lunch is absolutely possible. What would it cost to organize a lunch on low Earth orbit? And do that so that you are back on Earth as soon as possible, for important employee span business duties.
