   Yeah apparently the converter I used used a Cyrillic character, the actual "LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL F" is ꜰ. Also apparently there's a "LATIN LETTER SMALL CAPITAL *" for every letter except X[0][1]. [0] https:&#

    Where I live a village is what real estate agents call the massive block of suburbia they just built in the middle of nowhere. Or some sort of outdoor shopping center.

    In theory, maybe, but in practice it just means the author doesn't want a bunch of ads for dick enlarging pills below their article.

    Any action movie where the bad guys are stereotypical Russians? The way Russians and their culture are disparaged in media? I remember reading a WaPo article where some old lady was telling political canvassers to fuck off, and the entire t

    Most teenagers already use VPNs to get past network filters used in school WiFis and child filters on their data plans. Plus pornhub operates their own VPN so we know using a VPN to access just one service is something people already do. I

    It seems that dilettante intellectuals have rebranded themselves as "rationalists". Why is it that their blog posts are always high school book report level quality.

    A little misleading since apparently the Facebook account is only acting as a replacement for an Oculus account. It's not like they're forcing Facebook logins on a device that required no logins.

    TikTok should just let the US government ban them. Teenagers can figure out how to VPN to Mexico and it's better PR for TikTok. "So good the government won't let you use it" is better optics than "TikTok, now owned

    None of those are breakthrough discoveries, hell most of those arguably weren't even the first to market. MySpace existed before Facebook, Search Engines existed before Google, Phones in Japan were just as advanced as the first iPhone.

    I don't get why people don't just use something like 8m16d2020y. There, it's the same number of characters and clearly unambiguous even to someone who hasn't seen the format before.
