Thanks. It’s a part of history I know very little about.

I meant the “for over a hundred years” part specifically, I bolded it but it’s not as noticeable as it should be.
the US a terrorist nation for couping democratically elected leader in favour of dictators for over a hundred years
Is this really true?
it is quite literally named the “land of the blacks” after all that is what Egypt means
Egypt is from Greek and definitely doesn’t mean that. The Egyptian endonym was kmt (traditionally pronounced as kemet), which is interpreted as “black land” (km means “black”, -t is a nominal suffix, so it might be translated as black-ness, not at all “quite literally land of the blacks”), most likely referring to the fertile black soil around the Nile river. Trying to interpret that as “land of the blacks” should be suspicious already due to the fact people would hardly name themselves after their most ordinary physical characteristic; the Egyptians might call themselves black only if they were surrounded by non-black people and could view that as their own special characteristic, but they certainly neighboured and had contact with black peoples. And either way one has to wonder if the ancient views of white and black skin were meaningfully comparable to modern western ones. On the other hand, the fertile black soil most certainly is a differentia specifica of the settled Egyptian land that is surrounded by a desert.

What I find odd is that the message that they actually left on the site has nothing to do with Palestine, just childish “lol btfo” sort of message. So I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys aren’t the ones who actually did it, and it’s merely a false flag to make pro-Palestinian protesters look like idiotic assholes.
Well, there’s the relevant XKCD. Things can be popular/non-niche, yet plenty of people still don’t know about them.
M&B is not a household name, but being ‘niche’ also sounds like much too strong of a word to me. Idk. Czech point-and-click games are niche, traditional roguelikes (NetHack, etc.) are niche… by my metrics, at least.
Is M&B really niche? I’d never call it niche, am I that out of touch?
Came here to post this.
So basically you’re the protagonist of this twitter(?) shitpost:
Excuse me, is that linguistic prescriptivism?
I’ve just reported you to the mods. It was nice to know you.
As a gay guy, I call bullshit on that, unless you’re bi and have first-hand experience.
I learned about furries’ existence on 4chan many years ago, and I definitely don’t think that site was healthy at any point in time.
Maybe https://lemmy.world/comment/11910648 would be helpful.
Does the picture imply that the two desires are contradictory?
Personally, I talk with my best friend like once a month…
Could be so, though it doesn’t look like a site where the devs have a fixed time schedule. (Not that I know much about managing a website, just my impression.)
Nope. I actually tried using a proxy and it got rejected for that very reason (with a different message), whereas two normal IPs had the problem described in OP.
My suspicion was correct, I can’t figure it out.
I know, as I’ve said, I’ve sent them an email through that form two days ago but have still gotten no response.
If you’re thinking of American right-wingers and fascists who are currently celebrating Trump’s victory, I must say their view of the world is so dark, negative and pessimistic, that nobody could really describe it as utopia-like. This is a brief respite for them, nothing more.
If you’re thinking more abstractly, or of some very specific incredibly lucky people, then I guess it could be so.
