The government. That's where taxes go. You can, in turn, look up your country's budget breakdown to see where it goes from there.

Passing reminder that Goro Miyazaki is an architect who never wanted to make movies. He was brought on as an architecture advisor, and the studio kept pushing him to take more and more responsibility because he's his father's son, and his father encouraged it. The movie sucks because he's not a director and he didn't want to make it.

(Side note: I actually rather like Tales from Earthsea, so when I say it sucks I'm referring to general public reception and not my own opinion.)

I live on the west coast, where we have a ton of filipino-canadians, and they drink it like, well, like it's water. There's almost as many coconut water cans as bottled water bottles in public recycling bins. Every grocery stocks it.

To be fair though, speaking as a fan of toki pona, it's important to point out that it is far from a list of essential words, it's intentionally not designed to be able to communicate a majority of essential concepts clearly. It's designed to be able to communicate simple, positive concepts easily, but to require thought and ambiguity to communicate negative or complex concepts. It's literally meant to make you have to think more positively.

"Horde" is orcs. "Hoard" is dragons.

Radiate, recognize one silent call

I would LOVE to have Jeff's ult taken away. It's the most infuriating thing I've experienced in a shooter in years. When your game is PVP, sometimes you do have to nerf things man.

Nope! It just inexplicably sucks

Yes, it's a pretty common korean and chinese name.

I like how your pronouns are "equipped". Got you a pocket full of pronouns. DOn't you drop them, or nobody will be allowed to talk about you!

 

I noticed my posts on Lemmy.world stopped showing up to my account from that instance, and looking back, it seems like nothing I've posted for the last 4 days has federated.
