Just a refugee
Anon, please be sure to get enough rest! I know how much work you put into these brackets but if you need to reduce your prep time and just post informational links instead of a full summary that is okay!
Also, go BFO! I thought this would be a gimme but I guess not :(
Just met a Saw Whet owl this weekend and this BFO looks quite a bit different, surprised they are closely related! I wish this wasn’t the first matchup as I think the Buff would have a good chance against anyone else.
I dunno there’s probably better choices but these were what I thought of. Is there a website that has a copy of every public domain music file?
BFO! The BFO army grows its ranks with another member this year even if its not a fish owl and has a tough first matchup.
Hoping to see one of the big fish owls or a horned type taking it this year.
These look cool and would be great images for a Construct Wizard’s familiar or something similar.
I agree with anon that AI images should be accepted here as long as they are clearly labeled and not deceptive. I do downvote slop when it’s just a shitpost but this doesn’t strike me like that.
I do this too. I would need them if I lost my phone, so bitwarden/keepass is a good place for them to be.
I think it is less secure though since someone who somehow has the unencrypted vault without your 2FA device could get in with the codes - but if someone cracks my master password I’m screwed in a whole bunch of ways so I’m not sure it matters too much at that point.
I know it’s part of the joke here, but not a bad time to mention the pyramids weren’t built by enslaved workers at all. It was likely dedicated domestic laborers working 3-4 hr days.
If you want to be sure to catch it next year, sub to the Canvas comm on toast.ooo!
Definitely a huge overlap but mostly just because these are classic and great tropes from English-language literature. I doubt Dune was a major inspiration for WOT.
Aes Sedai - Bene - Moirai/Weird Sisters Moiraine is literally named after the Moirai
Paul/Rand are regular chosen ones with the foreign savior theme of Lawrence/Heart of Darkness added on for good measure
Same thing is happening in Seattle and likely everywhere else.
You are probably lucky, for now. I’m pretty sure they are rolling it out in waves. Boiling the frog and all that.
Thank you!
Yeah I agree - the Activity tab and the DMs look like they are exact copies of the Teams interface. I mean, it’s an intuitive way to display info but I don’t see much design innovation with this announcement
If you’re referring to the city in English you would say “bo-LO-nya” to approximate the original. I’ve heard it on the radio/podcasts before. It’s not very commonly referenced so trying to get closer to the original is probably right. Unlike Paris, where you are seen as pretentious if you pronounce it the French way.
A through-line from every source I’ve read on the crisis is that there seems to be broad support across the country for the French military to remove their troops from Nigerien land. Another source: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/west-african-defence-chiefs-mull-response-niger-coup-2023-08-03/
The French refusal to relinquish military influence over their former colonial regions is a big part of why these popular coups have been seeking the support of Russia. If France and the West in general want to repair their relations with the people of the Sahel and steer them away from Russia, they need to reduce their military presence (assuming that has popular support) and begin providing reparations. This region was fucked over by the French and that has never been acknowledged fairly.
Mander is generally a science-focused instance, so there are a lot of sciency /c’s there
There are so many communities being heroically held aloft by 1 or 2 serial posters. My favorite is [email protected]
No this can’t be the end for Buffy! Just look at that majestic awkwardness. It’s hard to overcome the cute factor though
