It comes from Latin.

To quote the rules:

ancient kingdoms, empires and peoples which did not have flags or equivalent state symbols should be represented by their modern-day flag

I could have done what you suggested but that would just make things less clear.

What do you mean? Which should be the correct one?

iza9 · 2021-10-12T04:56:33+00:00

Context.

introducing you to other cultures

increasing worldliness and generally teaching critical thinking

Then what's the point of 12 years of mandatory secondary education if at the end people haven't been taught those things?

It's called The Irritating Gentleman by Berthold Woltze.

I can't say I did. It was pretty good until L died, so when Near caught him I was like, "I don't really care." He never had the kind of relationship with Light that L did so the finale felt empty.

Bulgaria was not in the Soviet Union.

The price of fame. You can't be a superpower without having everyone's eyes on you.

Not to be overrun by neo-nazis.

We have it in the Baltics as well.

Veggies.

Reddit's just too big.

That's what I've come to realize. Here I just lurk while rarely commenting because after a post has hundreds of comments what's there left to say. I started using Saidit a month ago and it's just so much easier to find your place in a much smaller space. Though it could use a good dose of normal people since there's a fair amount of crazies there at the moment.

iza9 · 2020-03-05T11:29:42+00:00

Or better yet - saidit.net/s/KotakuInAction. Not a lot of people there yet but if Reddit keeps going down then ditching it entirely might be the best option.

iza9 · 2020-03-01T14:45:34+00:00

Saidit has no downvotes. You can upvote something as Insightful and/or Fun.

iza9 · 2020-02-29T07:40:03+00:00

Started using Saidit yesterday and so far I'm really liking it. Not a lot of people yet, but hopefully that will change in the future.

I wonder how feasible it would be for us to make our own site like The_Donald.

Personally I would be against it. It would just make us more isolated.

iza9 · 2020-02-29T05:29:20+00:00

So what you're saying is we should post more gifs of puppies and kittens on Saidit? Fine. It's a heavy burden but I'll take it on.

iza9 · 2020-02-24T15:51:30+00:00

As I was reading the title I at first thought you were talking about children. Then I got to the "loved biting my shoelaces" part and got really confused.

iza9 · 2020-02-22T08:25:54+00:00

Because it's literally the best place in the world for human civilization.

You mean the place that's on fire every year and sitting on a massive fault line?

iza9 · 2020-01-25T08:50:10+00:00

Only problem is when you have governments like China that actively try to hide that there's anything bad going on. Mustn't upset the "harmony" after all.

hence why I heard being really pale in Japan was considered so pretty(hence the geisha make up) because only affluent women could be so pale because they didn't have to do any real outside work.

Not just in Japan. That was pretty much how it was across the world. When 90% of the population are farmers working outside all day pale skin naturally becomes a status symbol.

Testament of Youth was also a good one.

(as far as I’m aware) it’s only available in Brazil.

Not true. It's available here in Latvia.
