Do butterflies infest homes and destroy property?

I feel like it's less what they look like, and more how they impact us. It's still very human-centric, but ya know, not so much a beauty thing as one might think at first.

Why does everybody insist on calling enemy occupiers, "settlers"?

When Russian civilians move in to annexed Ukrainian lands they're not called settlers. Settler suggests peaceful civilians moving somewhere they're allowed to inhabit, to start a new life.

They're invaders. Occupiers. Thieves.

Settlers my arse.

Judging just from the image and title, I'm guessing they're demonstrating this as evidence that there's insider trading going on, as just prior to the US President making a huge announcement that rocked the economy, a sudden unusual spike in activity was recorded.

This does not seem likely to be unrelated, given what this graph shows as normal activity.

The author suggests humourously that this is evidence of precognition - of being able to predict future events using magic.

How is it legal to basically say "We'll give you some money if you promise to keep the blacks out of your organisation"

Such a creepy thing, getting children to chant in devotion to a state flag in schools.

It's the sort of thing they probably do in places like NK, or the Third Reich, you don't expect it to come from a supposedly modern, non imperialist nationalistic nation, ya know? :-(

This is an April Fools, right?

No way a fancy top end smartphone in 2024 doesn't have this extremely basic feature from over a decade ago that everything has....

"Do you still need to be allowed to decorate and modify your own home?"

Yes.

Hello fellow Boosters! :-D

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious here, 😅 I saved a comment I'd like to go back to the other day but don't recall exactly what it was (darn my poor ADHD memory), and so I wanted to scroll through my saved/favourited comments to find it.

When I go to the "Saved" tab it lets me scroll through saved posts, but I can't find any way to switch to scrolling through saved comments, so I'm not sure how I'd go about finding them?

Thanks!

But wait, wouldn't a 5 second pause on loading still be way better than sitting through minutes of adverts? :-D

Punishment my arse

We've all agreed that when he dies it would be disrespectful to keep using Linux so we'll pack it up and switch to Windows from them on.

What idiot pays for upgrades to a house they're just renting, Jesus wept.

It absolutely does not cost the same price as the properly made alternative. Noooo way.

Flat pack stuff like that is way, way cheaper, thus why people buy it.
