Moving back to the southern hemisphere so I can just avoid it

Durian smells so bad, but durian milkshake is just heaven

Thanks - yeah that’s a significant issue. Hopefully they’ll fix it

I have zero experience with Le Chat or Mistral - would you mind expanding on that? Do you mean blocks of text are repeated or whole answers or something else?

Clearly a sandstorm in search of spice

Just checked: my YT account is old enough to be starting its first year of uni. Guess I don’t have to worry about accessing adult content, but ye gods I’m auld…

Jeez. Long article, many sections

Sometimes from knocks that seem minor to your brain, but they just bust a small blood vessel inside - enough to give a little bruise.

I most often see them when moving boxes around, especially heavy boxes. The next day you see a few and don’t even remember hitting that part of you.

One thing that helps remind me where I got a bruise is pressing the centre of the bruise. The resulting pain links back to the pain you got at the time. I don’t recommend this though coz it hurts

Got some trypophobia from this. The collection of red eyes close together on the roboduck breast :(

There’s a 1920s vibe in your photo. Not just the hair, but maybe your pose too? I could totally see you in a flapper dress. Congratulations on your one year anniversary

The fastest and most effective way is to spend some time in a country where English is the main language. If you can’t do that, the next best way is to make friends with native English speakers in your own country. The third best way is using apps such as HelloTalk or Tandem, which enable you to talk to people whose mother tongue is English. If they are learning your mother tongue, it’s even better because you have a fair exchange of effort

True, but that extra layer of difficulty will slough off the tiny percentage of my friends and family that do use Signal. I’ve the knowledge and motivation to use it; most people just want to download an app, make an account and get started

While I’m unhappy about potentially losing Signal, the second half of the article about expanding ASIO’s powers is even more chilling. Most people I know don’t use or care about Signal unfortunately.

Goon is the slang for any wine of questionable quality that comes in a goon bag. Probably the wine turns you into a goon after you drink it

Correct - the goon bag is what the goon comes in

Haha, in Australia goon is the cheap wine you buy in boxes rather than bottles, so I was imagining 5 minutes to down an entire 5 or 10 litres
