The Mothman Prophecies is a 1975 book by John Keel.
The book relates Keel's accounts of his investigation into alleged sightings of a large, winged creature known as Mothman in the vicinity of Point Pleasant, West Virginia, during 1966 and 1967.[2] It combines these accounts with his theories about UFOs and various supernatural phenomena, ultimately connecting them to the collapse of the Silver Bridge across the Ohio River on December 15, 1967. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mothman_Prophecies

Ok, because it makes no sense without knowing that.

Is the small character at the end a recurring character of this comic?

Bigger car for bigger ego, it's always the same thing.

Yes there is, but very little subscribers and no activity. I think it's too niche to have the required critcal size with the current size of the Lemmy user base.

I have the same issue with Reddit, there's a middle size good quality subreddit about my specific job which is the best place on the internet to see news and discussions about it in one place. It helps me increase and test my knowledge a lot.

Just a mistake I made, from the "-ist" often used for politics.

Everything is opened, so I guess someone could make an app for it. Downvotes is more complicated, it's not openly shared, I think you have to be an instance admin and be willing to find them in your instance database.

I don't think so, checking other games, the first progress achievement has much higher percentage and the decrease is slower.

Edit: Some examples of what I say.

 

Then I get back into the game with my heart pounding.
It's my first time.

Say cheese! 😬

 

When the snow leopard sprang into action, Donglin assumed it was in pursuit of a marmot, not seeing, at first, the Pallas’s cat that ‘blended in so well with the rocks’. The little cat fled, but its short legs were no match for the muscular snow leopard, its long, thick tail helping it balance as it ran down the slope. In less than a minute, the snow leopard had its prey in its jaws, and proceeded to carry it back to its den.

Both species are very well camouflaged and extremely hard to spot. While large birds of prey and wolves are known to hunt Pallas’s cats, it’s rare to see them hunted by snow leopards.

Donglin understood the young leopard’s need to hunt but was heartbroken at the loss of the Pallas’s cat. She explains, ‘the cat had three two-month-old kittens, not yet independent, hidden in an empty marmot’s burrow nearby’.

After discussions with the guide and forest rangers, Donglin obtained permission from the local government for road-killed pikas to be left near the den. Three weeks later, the kittens were hunting by themselves, and not long after, two of them were seen with their aunt and its litter of five. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/wpy/gallery/2023-race-for-life

 

I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask "Why are we here?" I might think about it a little bit, and if I can't figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose - which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell.

 

I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

 

I've noticed that when meeting a foreign person, mentioning that you like a beloved artist from their country is one of the best way to create a good vibe.

Which revered artist/group (not necessarily musician) from your place should I learn about?

A few examples I'm thinking about (correct me if I'm wrong):

Country Artist
Argentina Carlos Gardel
Australia Powderfinger
Austria Mozart, Falco, Thomas Bernhard
Beligum Jacques Brel, Stromae
Brazil Raul Seixas, Zé Ramalho
Cabo Verde Cesária Évora
Canada Leonard Cohen, Céline Dion, Gordon Lightfoot
Egypt Umm Kulthum
France Daft Punk
Germany Kraftwerk, Die Ärzte, Franz Kafka
Iceland Björk
Italy Elio e le Storie Tese
Malawai Evison Matafale
Mali Salif Keita
Scotland The Proclaimers, Sean Connery
Sweden Astrid Lindgren
USA Dolly Parton

Edit: Spent my Saturday morning vibing, adding the "consensual" suggestions to the table.
