That's easy to obey... but samaos seem to spontaneously evaporate near me.

Armies don't need complex phrases like "Last week did I see you go to the library?" And as such they've often used non-verbal communications in battle (especially because battle is fucking confusing) this has included drum signals, colored smoke, flags for different actions, and gestures.

When they are using verbal commands they're often a greatly simplified set of phrases - sometimes in a jargon that isn't even proper speech. It's rare to see ten syllable commands and you're much more likely to hear "company, right" than "Company of soldiers whom I command, please initiate a pinwheel rotation to the right around the rightmost file of your formation. Thank you kindly." So if Europe had to form an army inter lingually then "a derech" and "a isker" would probably end up being right and left respectively... that or they'd follow the EU trend of "When in doubt, default to French"... or they'd just signal their troops with different patterns of Eurohouse beats.

I'd say we probably skew more towards 30s-40s a lot of us are transplants from other sites and have been around the block a few times - there are certainly younger folks too, but they had to somehow trip over fediverse tech through a fluke.

Salt marshes - they were everywhere where I grew up and they're absolutely lovely to explore (as long as you use proper precautions).

Yup. Sadly, we can't run some robust experiments, but I'm pretty sure Warren would have outperformed Harris by a mile.

God I hope the DNC's fucking takeaway isn't "must only run neoliberal men".

As long as we're not assuming he bought Twitter with this outcome in sight I can accept that.

Honestly my pet theory is that he bought Twitter to destroy it after his breakup with Grimes... kinda like throwing your ex's clothes out the window. They separated in March 2022 and Musk started his bullshit offers in April 2022. It was probably either for revenge or just because he was off balance emotionally.
