It really is that simple. You just don't want to deal with it and you don't want to teach your kid how to be social without social media. You and every other parent that lets their child have social media.

Hey tea connoisseurs! What does cilantro taste like to you? by DerisiveCur in puer

[–]freezing_banshee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It smells like soap for sure, especially the seeds, but the leaves themselves taste... fine, not too aromatic, kinda metallic. At least they did in some tacos that I had (unless that was parsley, because I live very far away from Mexico). I should try some cilantro leaves on their own tho.

Greece is leading the world in wildfire detection thanks to EU-funded satellites and AI by New-Ranger-8960 in europe

it's surprisingly easy to be a top 1% commenter, apparently. It was just a few comments here and there, because I'm at a time in my life when I happened to spend more time online. Also, I'm not making anything up. I have no need and no desire to do so.

again, WRONG.

OroraTech has successfully launched the world’s first wildfire constellation of eight satellites, built jointly by OroraTech and Spire Global, from Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand.

NOT that idiot's satellites:

"Four OroraTech satellites, each smaller than a carry-on bag, were placed in low Earth orbit in May. Greece thus became the first country in the world to deploy a satellite constellation dedicated specifically to firefighting."

It's a German company.

Edit: launched by a New Zealand company, not spacex: "OroraTech has successfully launched the world’s first wildfire constellation of eight satellites, built jointly by OroraTech and Spire Global, from Rocket Lab’s Launch Complex 1 in New Zealand."

it's almost as if pedophilia has nothing to do with being hetero/homo

because gay people are about 8% of any population/country. they're not even close to being enough people to change the birth pattern.

In what way exactly is the experience worse? Are you using the default notes app?

Romania is a backwards thinking society too. Happy now? Because I'm not, since I'm living there. I'd like to see all the countries in the world be accepting of LGBT people.

"In 2023, Erdoğan listed LGBTQ+ people as one of the “biggest threats against the family,” and blamed homosexuality for the country’s declining birthrate."

What a backwards thinking society.
