In Italian it rhymes with Debra. Italians also feel sorry for all kids whose parents thought omitting an O would make for a good name choice.

By the end of Trump we should be happy if there is anybody left anywhere with significant power to even think to have a leverage against anyone else.

Even OPEC is coming apart.

Too bad the EU is demolishing the AI Act to appease Trump.

And anyway all other vendors would be under the EU AI Act in the EU market.

I don’t want cars to survive.

This worked! Once more Lemmy wins over Discord (Heroic Launcher’s), GOG Forums and Steam forums.

Will update the post and crossposts with your solution.

It gets normalized to a single smell, or specific mix. But in the West you would have had a continuous cycle of horse shit, cheap perfume, vomit, booze, moldy wood, cow shit, coal, etc. with the occasional ziff of used gunpowder.

Came here to say this. Also, tuberculosis.

And games do not simulate smell.

Maybe I can try playing CS2 again.

Probably Denmark, given the username. Denmark is also the only one of the Scandinavian countries to have the authentication provided by a national agency, while Sweden and Norway have it provided by the banks.

Because for true Romans the Vatican will always represent the last bit of the temporal power that Popes exercised on the population for centuries and that keeps being exercised de facto true the corruption and continuous ingerence of the Catholic Church in Italian political affairs, local and national.

Not that they are better or worse than all other priests of any confession or religion, but the Catholic Church is the one we have a quite fresh memory of.

Nah, those need a Pope to stay in power in Italy.

If a side-effect of Trump’s idiocy is having the Vatican bombed out of existence, as a Roman, I’ll take it.

That’s what you get with religious believers in power.

A rat done bit my sister Nell…

I am Italian and, living in Scandinavia, apart from being mostly disgusted by the other chocolate spreads, I am always very surprised to see the office managers, offering breakfasts on select days, defaulting to a teaspoon in the Nutella jar.

I grew up with a taboo for that and the only way I would ever have Nutella is by scraping some with a knife-side and spreading it thinly on a slice of bread.

It’s funny to see people do such things and then coming with the question: “you Italians have pasta, pizza and Nutella and you still manage to be so thin. How?!”

Check your portions.

Took the leap and actually started paying a nutritional biologist (translating an Italian term) and lost 10 kgs without noticing.

All while keeping training at least 3 days a week and maintaining strength gains and sometimes even getting better.

I also started a book club focused on sci-fi and non-fiction about technology and digital rights, to force myself to start reading again, since I noticed a sharp degradation of my ability to express myself and to analyze discourse.

Finally, I am learning French as my fifth language.

I would love to say I am doing great for being 40+, but mental health and zero social life affect me more than I would like to admit.

I am sorry I am not Finnish, but yes, you should.

Helsinki is the gift I give myself every year FIR my birthday, this one was my Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy one, so I made it special with a local guide showing me Kaurismäki movie locations, bronze age burial mounds and Seurasaari.
