That’s also very interesting in light of the US superficially appearing to be strongly federal in nature (with the individual states enjoying a great deal of autonomy) - a structure which would historically be known to develop in a bottom-up manner, where preexisting smaller entities would federate to form a larger state. This history is telling very different story, where those entities were not actually preexisting, but invented by the central authority 😂

Anyone care to explain to European noob what this means?

You can immediately tell from the eyes in the first pic that pouncing is imminent

That’s not POV, unless you are your mom

Why. Is she wearing that thing. Why?

Using vaginally will cause damage to the delicate microbiome in there, don’t do it!

So you take her for walks I assume? How is that going? My cat is basically not walking on the leash.

This should be a TheOnion article 🤣

A phone won’t vibrate strongly enough for you? You could adjust the intensity of those you know

I’m kinda seeing this meme every month somewhere. It’s old, but always valid

Source of diagram?

Why three tries in the top panel? It normally takes me 4, bcs I also try it sideways - but you got it right the first time, noi?

Yeah, XMPP is great and all, but the client side is a big old mess, everything is full of friction and missing support for feature xyz. Have you tried using XMPP on iOS?

Sure, but now you show me all the clients that supported OTR back then 😜 - or now, for that matter. Besides, OTR doesn’t work in multi user chats. OMEMO does, and support for it is still not exactly widespread…

How many contacts do you have in Threema though?

You mean text editing after sending? I would definitely not consider that a “basic” feature - we are talking about E2EE here, editing a message that you already encrypted locally and then sent on its way is by no means trivial - especially with the kind of E2EE that we have nowadays.

That was the time when all the apps were standard XMPP. It didn’t have proper encryption back then. WhatsApp is still XMPP nowadays, but excluding federation and non-standard implementation on Meta servers and so on

Actually, having sex on the road while driving isn’t fun.

When you keep speaking wrong*, it indicates that you have no regard for being understood, and hence you don’t give a rat’s ass about a) your listeners and b) your language. Meaning you’re an insufferable twat.
