I can see it from the three medium/small instances I just tried.

Also, is typigraphy a typo (typi?) or its own thing?

This is definitely the common one, even if it is a bit wordier than some others suggested here.

No idea what the downvotes are about.

It took me way too long to remember about tails.

The quote's a famous monologue from Hamlet.

About that speech

I think that because you're attributing those views to "the citizenry". I can only go on the words you've used, and you've used a word that describes the whole country's population, not a small minority.

The make-up and mindset of the citizenry doesn't change just because the government changes.

It's a small minority from the far right rioting, with massive counter-protests. You're trying to say the whole population is rotten based on a few negative examples, which ironically is just what the racists are doing themselves.

Rats definitely can (also for TB), and you can sponsor them to do so: https://apopo.org/

Magawa was a famous example: https://time.com/6138994/magawa-dies-landmines-cambodia/

Are they allowed to put jokes in legal documents like this? (I know it's gone now)

Slapping palms as a form of greeting a friend and then holding their hand as you pull your fingers back until it makes a snapping sound.

Thank you, Urban Dictionary!

I've raged at the incompetent UX design so many times, like recently when I was trying to add videos to the currently playlist in a certain order, since you can't reorder yourself. The mini player blocked the controls I needed for the last item on the page, but closing the player wiped out the playlist. Cue scream of rage and a few choice words at volume.

I can't find a suitable word in English, but I'm shocked and dismayed that German doesn't have anything we could steal.

There's a lot of smaller communities that are only kept going by one dedicated poster, or never got the critical mass to keep going, which is a shame.

I've been reading something spooky/creepy/horrific around this time for a few years now. Does anyone else do this? Any recommendations?

My reads:

  • 2023: Perfectly Preventable Deaths by Deirdre Sullivan
  • 2022: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
  • 2021: Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
  • 2020: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
  • 2019: Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
  • 2018: Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders & Something Wicked this Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
  • 2017: Carrie by Stephen King
  • 2016: Jekyll and Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson
  • 2015: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
  • 2014: The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H. P. Lovecraft
  • 2012: The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft
  • 2009: Dracula by Bram Stoker
  • 2008: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
 
 

I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn't checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I'm reassured that it's a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.

 

TL;DR: Request it at https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

It's only about the CSV files you get, it doesn't cover e.g. the images you've uploaded.

 

I've had a subscription to PS Plus for years now but rarely look at the games (I need to get an external drive or be less hesitant to delete stuff).

What hidden gems are there in the backlog? I have a PS4 by the way, but I think the PS5 is too new to have hidden gems.
