In the US, expansion packs were the general term used.

For example, RCT2 had the Wacky Worlds and Time Twister expansion packs. Empire at War had the Forces of Corruption expansion. While some were called add-ons, those were typically like tiny things, one-off characters or whatever.

...And out comes the r-slur!

Look at that! Who would know that a conservative is hateful and uses slurs???

It's almost like nobody likes them and they have to be assholes about it!

You're missing 2 more lots!

On the opposite side of the Harbor and Ball Rd. intersection there's another parking lot. This is "Ball Lot" and is used by employees. Employees need a shuttle to get to work.

Further down Katella, across the street from the convention center, there's Toy Story/"K Lot", which is a combination parking lot for guests and more employee parking. This is the largest parking lot of them all, taking up an entire city block.

The lot you've marked across from House of Blues is indeed a Disney lot but it is rarely used. Additionally, the "lot" you've marked inside California Adventure isn't a "real" parking lot - just a place for storage of maintenance trucks and stuff that rarely leaves the bounds of the park. If you're counting those, there's a lot more area you should count (all of the outside of Indiana Jones/Haunted Mansion, everything from the backside of Space Mountain to Main Street). There's also a parking garage just below the spot you've marked in Team Disney Anaheim - that gray structure to the south of the parking lot is a parking garage for corporate folks that have their office behind the park.

(I used to work at Disneyland.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Communist_Party

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP),[3] officially the Communist Party of China (CPC),[4] is the founding and sole ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC)

CCP is a valid name for it in English, and in fact is the way that it's referred to most of the time in English (which we are speaking currently). You can also see that Wikipedia uses CCP throughout.

Not surprised I've pissed off half of Lemmygrad considering you guys are so misinformed you don't even recognize a common English acronym for the ruling party of the country you adore so much. Stay mad, tankies.

Lemmy won't let you see it; it's just a Kbin thing.

The 18 number is the number of unread messages I had at the time. They were all "you have been banned." I just went back and counted; I have 18 messages (across 2 pages of notifications now).

It's possible that they extended the length of the ban and doing so gave me another message; the bans were all different lengths. Or it could be some duplication happening server-side.

Yep! The Reddit version, at least. Dunno if the Lemmy/Kbin sorts are the same or not.

Before that, it was sorted by top. I think subreddits were top/day, and comments were top/all time. Frontpage was top/day for all the subreddits you were subscribed to (or top/day for a selection of "default" subreddits if you didn't have an account).

Things change over time.

For example - I want to see the broadest possible choice of content in my feed. I want to be able to interact with anywhere that's not outright hateful and/or malicious. So when I was choosing an instance, finding a permissive (but not too permissive!) admin was important to me.

But when Threads started making waves and the fedipact started becoming a thing that people were discussing, things changed out of left field.

I still wanted to federate with Threads. I think fears of EEE are overblown; Facebook has to comply with the Digital Markets Act and guarantee third-party interoperability. EEE on the fediverse runs counter to EU law. Additionally, most of my friends are folks who don't "get" the fediverse; I tried coaxing my fiance onto Mastodon and she lasted 1 day before going back to birdsite. She uses Threads actively now, and I'd love to be able to see her posts and interact with her without needing to sign up for Threads myself.

I had hoped that the semi-permissive admins I've found would tolerate it, but a lot of them decided to draw the line and join the fedipact (including my Mastodon admin).

Which now sucks - it feels like a bunch of bullies are trying to use intimidation to tell me where I can and can't post. By threatening to defederate everywhere that's not in the fedipact, there's this feeling where now I can't join a server that curates the way I want because if I do, I'll be cut off from the rest of the fediverse. If I run my own server, there's a good chance these other instances will use bots to catch that my server federates with Threads and pre-emptively defederate me.

Defederation is used as a weapon and a way to bully other instances, which I really don't like. I understand the need for defederation as a tool but it sucks seeing how easily it's abused, and how you really can't trust that admins of a server you join won't be intimidated into compliance by these fedipact bullies.

So now, if I want to like my fiance's posts... I basically have to join Threads and help Zuck directly, or have an account elsewhere that basically can only federate with Threads. Thanks, fedipact.

Xehanort literally malding right now

I was surprised when I got one; it just appeared in my inbox one day. When my account turned 11 I decided to see if /r/11yearclub existed and it did, but I had to message the mods and join manually.

I had to request to join Century Club manually too; I didn't even notice I could do it until I had 200k karma...

For Lemmy, if nobody has subscribed to a community locally, you need to search https://instance.social/c/whatever to get [!whatever@instance.social](/c/whatever@instance.social). Once someone subscribes locally, searching [!whatever@instance.social](/c/whatever@instance.social) works.

It's pretty unintuitive, especially when Kbin lets you search @whatever@instance.social even if that community isn't on your instance yet.

Technically, the domain name is itjust.works. ;)
