That’s called Lineage. GOS is purposely the most secure possible.

Hey, no kink shaming!

Butch is now seen as more polite in younger / woke(*) circles. Camionneuse (truck drivers) is old and derogatory even though still in use.
Femmes are fem, a younger word. NO old word AFAIK. I guess previous generations didn’t care as much / were aroused.
Lesbiennes. Older / derogative term was “broutte minou” ~ kitty grazer (and sounds about as cringy in both languages, definitely the older generations were aroused).
(*) I mean that in its original / positive use.
Edit : for men mostly English words are used (gay, top/bottom, bear/cub…)
I hope they study James 5…
Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.[a] 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you.
1·2 months agoYou’re confusing political opinions with foundational legal facts.
No. Half were scientific facts, the other commonly accepted truths. None were simple political opinions.
Unless you count flat earth as a debated public political opinion… Either way that law is not applied. And never will be, simply because law is not defined by logic.
In any court, there is a principle called ‘Judicial Notice’ (Federal Rule of Evidence 201). It requires the court to accept ‘Common Knowledge’ and ‘Common Sense’ as facts.
I don’t even know how this is applied / applicable.
Common knowledge and facts include global warming needs to be stopped, imperialism is bad, war crimes are crimes, money and power concentration are bad…
I’m eagerly waiting for a locally run phone assistant. Just for voice control while driving.
They are way more than a cloud company: Outlook, both of them, left the could stage yesterday.
That’s still weak compared to what a phone could really do though.
Slightly cheaper than fuel by 10% for similar cars (including country of origin)
There is very good 21st century music, which wouldn’t have come had it not been for 20th century music.
Thinking igorrr, emergence of gqom (that’s very pop for gqom), post rock emerged in the 20th and has a reminiscence of tripped out 70s rock bands, but bands like thee silver mount zion are also very early 21st century.
It’s also not surprising we are hitting a barrier after electroacoustic music sort of enlarged the field a lot, the last major innovations were sunths, electronic soundFX and DAWs and these are all 20th century changes. The 20th century saw more innovation than the previous centuries. Fusion of styles, while older, has given interesting merges in the 21st century as well.
But the 20th century will be hard to surpass, pretty much as by the end of the 19th century classical music was running circles.
Computer phones. As in I just connect to screen and keyboard, and phone is my main desktop.
Cheaper EVs.
Working lab fusion.
Nothing wrong with that fetish, he should just keep it private
Oldest computer just hit 20, running MX for writing and casual web use. It’s about as slow as a 4 years old company laptop with windows.

We are also fanning the flames.
Have you tried clicking on the “authoritarian communists” link for a definition?
