#1, you neglected to add quotes around panzeratti, and #2, you neglected to mention that those quotes are doing some very heavy lifting.

I prefer to lean friendly & understanding, yet as someone dealing with a terminal disease, I’ll admit that irritability can happen fast. Eh, nous faisons ce que nous pouvons. 🙄

The last couple of days they have been prompting people to provide identification documents to access their accounts.
I know almost nothing about this, but from a couple quick searches, it seems they’ve been doing this for maybe a month or two to accts that seem suspicious, such as non-Reddit bots or spam accts, etc.
I could be wrong, but so far it doesn’t seem to be anything near a site-wide thing.


Great stuff. I shared a few more of these a couple years ago, but probably need to remake this post: https://piefed.social/post/260765


Sounds sadly unsurprising, social media’s toxic disruptive effects, as well as the influence of the far-right.
I started to write something about patriarchy right here, and it got longer and longer, so I’m going to keep developing it and post it to !askhistorians@piefed.social in a bit. But in very brief, I believe that patriarchy is part of a late-stage power grab that arose out of early agriculture and civilisation. Patriarchy isn’t our natural state, and for sure deserves pushback. This relates to the fact that the whole idea of ‘TradWives’ is largely nonsense, directly related to the invention of a rich male-dominated hierarchy. I might sound like a kook with all that, but my working conclusions are heavily based on science and history, and I’ll try to fully explain in that coming post. Cheers.


Hah, I’m old enough to remember how that actually went down in the struggling Marvel offices at the time. Early-to-mid 70’s was his actual creation-moment IIRC.
You should read Mark Evanier’s blog if you’re actually curious about this stuff…


Well that changes everything! :D


Upvote, for seeming to be a nice person who sticks to that basic premise upon American comics. And for sure, folks like you are needed!
Over here, I happen to prefer European comics, and actually I’d be curious to hear what you might think about such. Like, are they too weird for the USA, or…?


Practically a prerequisite for the superhero club. That and body-building, I guess.


I get the inborn super-healing, and I get the addition of the adamantine (sp?) skeleton, but what powers did he create on his own?
Martial arts ability?


Kinda reminds me of modern TEVA sandals for men-- for whatever reason, there’s this useless extra margin around my walking-sandal, which might be as much as ".5 extra all around. It winds up making my shoe footprint that much larger than my actual foot, which sorta makes me feel like I’m wearing boats for shoes, at times.
It’s also caused me to trip on things and almost fall down, a couple times. Because of that useless extra margin.
Funnily enough, I was in a bit of a bind at one point, needed to buy whatever a local store happened to have, and wound up going with a pair of KEEN womens’ shoe-sandals. Those things are awesome IMO. They conform exactingly to my foot, and I actually feel more athletic and foot-safe, just wearing them.
Based on what I’m seeing of these golden slippers (particularly the strap), kid Tut’s actual feet might have been almost half the size of the actual shoe, lol.
Cue Truman Show?


Wow, that’s a lot more interesting explanation than I was expecting. oO
So you’re Norwegian, is it? English your 2nd language?
By comparison, I definitely don’t mind official French resisting too many loanwords and slang, if only as an A2 French-learner, but… actually that stuff’s probably a joke to most French-speaking non-academics, I suppose.
Okay, trying to sign up now as you’ve got me curious. Looks like the Membership button from the PieFed side works differently now, so we’ll see what happens…
Real talk: putting almost any lifeform in to too-small an enclosure, with too few elements from their natural environs, is a pretty effective way to make their lives more miserable and get the least-interesting experience out of appreciating them.
/mini-rant!


Pre-Germany by a matter of many, many centuries, but I take your point. Also, specifically from an Anglo-Saxon, West Germanic fork that is considerably different from other forks, for example High German as I understand it. Also, English has also been a heavily Norman-French influenced language for almost a full millenium.
So bottom line, one might say that English is an olde French-West Germanic language with a load of influences from Latin, etc, that morphed over time just like most major languages do.
What really is the point in trying to artificially curate it, @vegafjord@slrpnk.net?


Americans aren’t overweight because of the “ultra-processed” portion of our high-calorie high-salt diet. Americans are overweight because our diet is high-calorie and high-salt!
Oh, I’d argue strongly that the former is also a factor. For one thing, the whole idea of calories in-calories out is a highly flawed concept that whiffs a lot on how the body actually processes foods. Things like resistant starches and slow-digesting grains are key in absorbing food in a consistent manner that avoids glycogen spikes and delivers a smoother energy experience that helps cut down cravings and vicious junk-food circles, so to speak.
Also, the more processed a food is, typically the less vitamins, minerals, fibre, phytochemicals and so forth it contains, all things the body needs and even craves. And there’s a natural tendency to eat when one feels a lack of something, which can be some or all of those things above.


Thank you OP for taking 5secs out of your hectic day to construct a useless shitpost demonstrating *exactly* what Rimu just blogged about:
https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta@piefed.social/p/2282837/open-source-runs-on-good-faith
Because both of those items are prepared in specific ways that very much do not constitute ‘folding a pizza in half.’ For example, a panzerotti as I understand it are small, sealed pies that are commonly deep-fried. A calzone as I understand it is another kind of pie, larger, sealed and then baked up.
Now if this is meant as a c/ShittyFoodPorn post like something a frat or dorm-bro would come up with, then rock on I guess, altho it’s still not in the right sublemmy as I see it. But whatever, that’s just me!
