Yes because as I understand it the custom domain is basically just a pointer. Everything still goes through the bsky servers and you can be deplatformed there at the whim of an admin/mod (On Mastodon if you don’t run your own instance that can still happen, but you can instance hop. If you run your own then other instances can block your instance but it’s not the whole network all at once)

That’s fair. I feel really frustrated that I can see what’s happening and have what feels like no options at all to deal with it.

And what country is going to accept mass political refugees from the USA?

You make it sound like that’s an easy option that everyone has.

Nothing, they had a PhD in seismology.

That’s a fun one.

I have an Illusions of Grandeur/Donate deck that can’t do first turn, but can take someone out all at once (if I’m super lucky, like all my decks it very rarely wins)

There are of course also Magic: The Gathering decks that can do that on a lucky first hand.

My favorite is this one, which in the abstract can do literally anything a computer can do. Yes, You can in theory run Crysis on a Magic deck. During your opponent’s turn.

I’m talking long before digital channels existed. (In the US anyway)

Even before the 2000s they started showing a blue screen instead of static.

That wasn’t just a digital or flat panel thing.

But of course old sets were around for a long time.

Because if they did consider themself Latino, it might sound more like a personal complaint instead of just a general question.

One of my friends in middle school had the last name Morris, so I think of it as a last name.

Absolutely.

Genetically I’m around 50% descended from people of a culture that I simply wasn’t raised in, which is associated with a religion I never practiced (as opposed to the different religion I left)

Based on looks I could easily identify as that culture and strangers wouldn’t question it. They also don’t question my lack of doing so.

Hamilton is a last name. I won’t doubt that there are some people who have it first (not checking), but they probably have two last names.

Never heard of this channel before. Thanks!

My immediate reaction before opening the link: “No.”

Yet I somehow got 96.6% twice.

Visually, I certainly wouldn’t call them 3.4% away from perfect. I’m guessing there’s some allowance for imperfection even at 100%.

She knows him that well.

Look up “bimonthly pay”.

Fortnightly is fine, so is biennial.

All of the other bi-timeperiod words are worthless because they mean both twice each time and every two times.

Biweekly and bimonthly each also meaning their respective reciprocals.

(Every two periods, or twice a period.)

If a technical term such as a frequency specifier has multiple incompatible meanings then it has no value and needs to stop being used entirely. Or one of the meanings chosen as correct and the others rejected forcefully (good luck with that)

I assume it was just named after r/politics - like most of the other communities here during the migration.

If the only piece of advice on how to live you get from a religion is “Stay alive as long as you can!” That’s still better than a lot of the rest of them.
