Add this to your next human's repertoire

I spent thirteen years growing bonsai, fifteen pining over Loravindrel. That brought me into my eight year long emo-goth period which produced poetry I've since fed to the flames. For sixteen seasons after that I meditaed under a plum tree and swept the eight hundred and seventy two dozen and five stars. Six years I practiced the letter œ to master the uhm. Fifty seven years I spent in the arms of Madeleine and our oldest grandchild is about your age. And the last three seasons I've been chasing the south-western gale that robbed her from me decades too early.

Screen time linked with developmental delays, study finds

Reply in thread

There are other factors they have observed as well. Let me quote the article.

There are other factors that can affect a child’s development, such as genetics, adverse experiences such as neglect or abuse, and socioeconomic factors, Nagata said.

In the latest research, mothers of children with high levels of screen time were more likely to be younger, have never given birth before, have a lower household income, have a lower education level and have postpartum depression.

But bad screens are a much sexier cause.

German medieval metal stars. "hetero is not compulsory. homofobia is disgusting"

Reply in thread

You want to open a can of awesomeness? Well you got it. This is by no means an exhaustive list nor any that covers the whole spectrum. Some bands are serious others much more lighthearted. Generally all of these have strong folk metal influences drawing inspiration from the middle ages (fall of Rome to fall of Constantinople). Go wild. If I were to do a "top five tracks" from a few bands I would choose Cruachan, Heidevolk, Månegarm and Skálmöld

Cruachan - irish/celtic

Eluveitie - celtic gaul

Feuerschwanz - german "high medieval"

Equilibrium - german

Heidevolk - dutch

Norse/Viking (here I just dump a bunch) - Amon Amath, Brothers of Metal, Ensiferum, Månegarm, Skálmöld, Tyr

Alestorm - PIRATES, a humorous bonus for the funzies

Please fix Rule 1.

Gonna be that guy. But just because something is legal in one place doesn't mean it is legal where the instance/owner is located. And the owner is protecting their own skin, I would do the same. Can also be realted to the host.

So as others have mentioned, it's better to find an instance welcoming this kind of content.

So uncivilized!

Law and order is pretty much textbook authoritarian. No left/right bias in that. But he is very much not for redistrbution of wealth nor any empowerment of the workers.

Tarkin is auth-right. Almost textbook. Would move Vader to more center-right as he often ignores or works against (some) chain of command.

‘Queen of trash’ and employees arrested over Sweden’s ‘largest environmental crime’

Reply in thread

We essentially have three levels of recycling stations in Sweden.

There is the at home one. Some areas have their "private" trash bins being multicompartment so you can easily divide up glass, metals etc. If you don't have one of these you just divide it up and take it to your local station. Apartment buildings tend to have a recycling area with various bins.

The local one tend to be able to handle larger items and bigger quantities. Here is often also for textiles. This is the classic recycling station.

And then we have the big ones where you can fill up a vehicle and trailers and get rid of it. It is not a dump as you still have to have things separated. Used furniture, electronics, garden waste etc are taken to these places.
