I am sorta in between the two. There are a few games or series that I will always come back to and play the new ones when they come out but I don’t play very often. Some times I will play a lot all at once maybe 5 days out of 7 for 3 or 4 weeks. Most of the time I will play maybe 1 to 2 days a fortnight and only for an hour or 2 each time I do.

Does the creator of seppo know what seppo means? Is the intent for it to mean the same thing or is it named that for some other reason?

Its the letter thorn (or þorn)

I wish my laptop could replace my smartphone. Only reason I have one is those pesky things that need an Android or IOS device.

The difference between “civilized” and “uncivilized” countries is that “civilized” countries call their terrorists “counter-terrorists” and “civilized” countries are allowed to bomb “uncivilized” countries in the name of civility.

Back in his day, yes. In modern greek it is sisero and in modern latin it is Chichero. Similarly, in Julius Caesar’s day, his name would have been pronounced Kai-zar and in modern latin and italian, it is Chai-zar.

Cent as sent + taur as tor. We pronounce most greek c’s as s in english as is cicero or cent being pronounced with an s sound instead of a k sound. Tor is the same as in taurus. Mine is not the only correct pronunciation, my explanation is just the justification for my specific pronunciation

Is tower 1 or 2 syllables for you?

Does anyone know a good mapping software for public transport? I like open street map but it is no good for busses.

I’ve seen right wing liberals, left wing liberals, marxists, stalinists and anarchists just to name a few. If anything there is more diversity here than other platforms as it isn’t just various shades of liberal.

How would you even play operation without the cards? How is it scored, who wins?

Each player gets a hand of “specialist” cards at the start. Each turn a player draws a “doctor” card and attempts to retrieve the part on the card and if they are successful are awarded the money listed on the card. If they aren’t successful the player who has the specialist card gets to attempt it and wins the (larger) sum of money listed on the specialist card. In some versions of the game, there air no “specialist” cards, only “doctor” cards

I do most of my gaming on mint, but not for much longer as I am going to move my new configs and change to the same distro as my laptop at some point

Yeh, no shit… So am I. https://aiatsis.gov.au/explore/map-indigenous-australia

which country do you live in? I live in Noongar country, they also use 6 seasons and I think it is a much better system. The Noongar seasons are an ecological system based on changes in nature

There are three popular reckonings for the 4 season model. The meteorological seasons, astronomical seasons, and solar seasons. The solar season places the solstices and equinoxes in the middle of each season. The meteorological seasons are based on temperature but these days are aligned with the months with summer/winter (depending on hemisphere) starting at the start of December and ending on the last day of February. The model the US uses is the astronomical model of seasons and makes the least sense to me, it places the start of each season on the solstices and equinoxes which means that midsummer is actually the start of summer there.

I don’t have a lot of energy so please excuse the dot points

• Overpopulation is a myth that goes back centuries and has been used to fuel racism and genocide.
• We currently produce enough food and water and have enough shelter to sustain the whole human population.
• 1% of the worlds population is responsible for 15% of the worlds carbon emissions and nearly 25% of growth in emissions since 1990. The number of people is not the cause of the climate catastrophe, it is the people on top.
• The majority of all crops grown is used to feed livestock instead of people. We don’t need this much meat to survive.
• It is capitalism and the 1% that is the cause of all of this and not the majority of people. It is not the number of people that is the issue but the system and the people on top. Daniskarmas points about how much resources we require and how much we pollute are just false when you look at the cause of those issues and how much disparity there is between the majority of people and the top 1%. We currently produce enough food to feed 10 billion people and could easily produce enough to sustain the same amount with far less emissions, water, and land use if we didn’t produce so much meat. To summarise, it is not overpopulation that causes climate change, death by starvation and thirst or pollution but the capitalist system that prioritises profits over the planet and life

“Earth is overpopulated” is a toxic and wildly incorrect classist conspiracy theory. I am not even going to humour it.
