Might be app- or instance-dependant. I’m using Liftoff.

For those who want to know, that makes Xitter sound like halfway between Sitter and Shitter.

As an English speaker you can try to make that sound by saying the Y in YEET and paying close attention to how exactly your tongue is positioned and where in your mouth the air is being constricted. Then try to position your tongue as if you want to say “yeet” or “yes” again, but make an S sound at exactly the same constriction point where you made the Y sound before. If you’re successful, it should sound like a hybrid between S and SH to your English ears.

That’s how I make it anyway, actual Mandarin speakers might find issue with my explanation.

I've got an unhealthy amount of hours and money (games, DLC) invested in various Paradox games because I once pirated EU3 on a whim.

My Steam Library now contains CK2 with most gameplay DLC, CK3 with most gameplay DLC, EU4 with all gameplay and content DLC, Stellaris with most gameplay/content DLC, HoI4 with most gameplay DLC, Sengoku, and other Paradox games that aren't grand strategy like Magicka 1&2.

And both my hours in CK2 and EU4 are in the 4 digit realm, though admittedly that includes times where I played in bed, fell asleep and the respective game kept running.

Yes, but there’s context about why I asked

In this regard, I’m probably part of the old folks. I’m older than the WWW at least. I just figured I’d try asking ChatGPT with context instead of Google because I didn’t want something I suspected to be Nazi terminology in my search history.

I was just surprised by how differently it reacted compared to when I tested it with alt history scenario requests a few months ago.

At least in German, there’s even a term that translates to grill vegetables. Meaning zucchini, eggplant, …

I quoted your comment to ChatGPT 3.5 and asked what you were referring to with “the 14 words”. I’ve never seen it take so long to answer, and when it finally did, it was like watching someone else write in a shared Google doc, including watching words getting replaced. Maybe my question triggered a reply by an actual human?

I would be surprised if she came into this position without being either a psychopath or a sociopath. As such, all that truth distorting wouldn’t damage her mental health. At worst she might feel overworked.

In short:

Very hot weather & no AC => window open at night => getting woken up at 5:30 in the morning by early morning trains => tired af

I’m not OP, but thanks for the tip, will check it out. Greetings from Züri Oberland.

I have no problem at all with either eggs or dairy, so it must be something else. I suspect it’s my brain registering sweetness and telling the respective glands to prepare for an influx of sugars which then fail to appear, leading to those headaches.

Possibly also depends on your body in other ways. I have yet to find an artificial sweetener that doesn’t give me headaches. Multiple times I had a headache for seemingly no reason and found out something I consumed a few hours earlier had artificial sweeteners. Same goes for too much licorice or stevia.

I guess you meant “pulpit”?

I’m better informed, but I can’t say I’m happier. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. I’m frustrated by enshittification and embrace expand extinguish, idiotic and/or evil rightwing politicians and stuff like Musk wanting to implant chips into people’s brains. Before, I could go to /r/Eyebleach and other cute/pet subreddits or be entertained by tales from various industries, but those communities are still way too small in the fediverse, if they exist at all, and I end up on the main page even if I’m trying to de-frustrate.

I miss RES’s context feature now. Thank god this thread wasn’t too long, so I was able to find my comment you replied to in it in a reasonable amount of time.

Title is misleading, it’s a monospaced derivative of Comic Sans that’s actually nice, not actual Conic Sans.
