There is 0% chance of anything good coming of this comment thread. Let's all go do something else.

Pro tip: aim low with new year's resolutions

Don't do lifestyle changes, instead resolve to read that long book you've had on your list, or visit China or something.

Latin: I can still bang out the five declensions and the four conjugations in my sleep. Trying to read a text, the sentence structure always finds ways to trip me up.

Greek: very patchy, I know a lot of words but my grammar is shite

Maya had started the one-year relationship with “Harrison” in 2006, while he was infiltrating pro-Palestinian campaigners....

His conduct is to be examined by a judge-led public inquiry, which is looking at how about 139 undercover officers spied on more than 1,000 predominantly leftwing groups between 1968 and at least 2010. One of the key issues for the inquiry is how the police spies frequently formed intimate relationships with women, often lasting years, without telling them they were undercover officers infiltrating political groups. Some fathered children during their deployments.

I'm a country boy all my life. I can't cycle or take the metro anywhere. Walkable cities are great but they're a hundred miles away.

Everyone goes on about how they hate cars, but what else are you supposed to do?

https://electrek.co/2023/12/04/livaq-equad-unveiled-as-most-capable-electric-atv-ever/ – this article talks about something with a 108km/h and a range of 273 km. It's mad expensive unfortunately, but that is normally to do with adoption rates and scale.

(It says "claims a range of 170 miles (273 km) from its 15.4 kWh battery pack", which implies consumption of about 55 watt-hours per km travelled, though that'd be variable depending on speed and conditions)

If I had one of these, I could get to town, get to a train station, without a car. I could carry one child, which is worse than a car, but the energy consumption is a 3-4× lower than a car. If train stations had swappable batteries, that would be ideal, but I don't see that coming any time soon.

The invidious link bot was great and well-received.

Google are blocking invidious pretty effectively now, but they can't block ghostarchive because it's not on their server

"They're not real asylum seekers, they're only economic migrants!"

The philosophy behind this: poverty doesn't count as a proper problem. A real problem would be something like not being able to vote

Anti-materialism with the mask off.

How much general legitimacy does the regime have there? Do people not want to overthrow/replace it by this point?

What do you mean by physical proof?

Some history is known by digging up physical stones n bones. Some is known by digging up texts.

There are multiple texts dated to the 1st century that all corroborate the story that a person called Jesus was crucified around 33AD

The fediverse really needs key-signed messages.

As long as accounts reside on one server it fails to accomplish its goals, IMO

It's UN 37/43, adopted 3 December 1982:

"reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle."

I thiiink this is why Northern Irish groups like to use the phrase "armed struggle", https://archive.org/details/armedstrugglehis00engl
