Tineye apparently hasn’t been updated in years. Google’s image search, aka Lens, is often good for mainstream stuff like shots from films or tv shows, and I think for comics too (though it does often miss even marginal stuff).

The guy also doesn’t have the muscle mass to operate a dildo.

Are you two spending hours wistfully browsing the BD catalogue?

The constitution of some countries in the West includes the privacy of correspondence. Idk how many countries and how that privacy is interpreted in any particular cases.

IMO it should be argued, in the Europes, that this covers electronic correspondence too, and thus ChatControl and its ilk are unconstitutional.

Also Wiktionary imported the whole Webster dictionary from early 20th century sometime in the beginning of their operation, and apparently Webster was a fan of thoroughly describing each of the twenty meanings of a word. Which tradition continues in Wiktionary to this day — instead of giving three-word descriptions for two or three meanings tops, as other online dictionaries do.

My one complaint is that the thesaurus at Wiktionary is so-so, being exhaustive only for things like euphemisms, which naturally have many synonyms. In most cases, Thesaurus.com is a better resource.

There’s a small strategy game called ‘Antiyoy’, with simplistic mechanics, which works for short-ish games: you can do a stint while waiting in queue or such. Iirc ‘Antiyoy Classic’ is entirely offline, while the regular one has an online mode. Both have no ads and near zero permissions, unless something changed since I last played.

You can try ‘Diplicity’ for an online strategy a-la ‘Risk’ where you bargain and do alliances with other players, until one of you wins the whole thing. There’s no randomness. It’s an implementation of the board game ‘Diplomacy’.

‘Hocus’ is a nice spatial puzzle with impossible geometry. Iirc it requires payment for additional levels, but has no ads.

The app ‘Fabularium’ runs text adventures, i.e. games where you type your actions and read the description of what happens. There are a myriad of such adventure games, many with novel mechanics. You’ll need to download the games themselves separately, mainly from IFDb.org. ‘Fabularium’ isn’t the only app that runs text adventures, but I like it and it supports more formats than some other apps do.

OpenTTD is fine on a tablet — though controls aren’t specially adapted, they just emulate a mouse. On a phone screen the controls are too small and everything is crowded.

The enlightened know that it’s just a super-condensed retelling of Bruce Bueno de Mesquita’s and Alastair Smith’s ‘The Dictator’s Handbook’.

Regarding email, consider buying a personal domain for your email address. You specify the ip addresses of the email provider in the domain’s DNS, and on the provider’s side specify that the domain is for your email box. This way, if the email provider doesn’t work out, you only need to change the DNS records to another provider, instead of changing the email address on accounts (which is often impossible).

However, not all email providers support custom domains, and some only do that on paid tiers.

Did you account for timezones? First fights started at 3:40 a.m. Kyiv time, which is UTC+2.

Technically the original ‘Dracula’ is Austrian/Hungarian film ‘Dracula’s Death’, released in either 1921 or 1923. Considering that Dracula is either the most- or second-most-frequently adapted character ever, I wouldn’t be surprised if more films were made between this one and the 1931 one.

Also, funny thing, a Spanish-language version of ‘Dracula’ was filmed simultaneously with the 1931 film, on the same sets. It’s considered better made, because the crew had access to the dailies of the English version and could adjust the direction based on the flaws they noticed.

Ah, the ‘drawer of drawings’ guy. Who tends to skillfully draw bodies with comical proportions, and then give them uncannily detailed faces and especially eyes. Which results in a bit horrory atmosphere to all their comics.

the amount of pro genocidal statements and cheers for extremism

whenever you bring up topics like treatment of minorities, lgbtq+ rights, feminism etc, people normally dont comment on this stuff or make a “harmless joke” out of it

Not sure what corners of Reddit you’re browsing, but from what I’ve seen on r/all, the active majority don’t make extremist statements and don’t make jokes out of minorities (with the exception of the weird “women am I right” on r/SipsTea). In fact, Reddit is pretty leftist by US standards, considering USians are the majority of active posters and commenters.

However, it does have a penchant for ridiculing both Pakistanis and Indians — which, though, is lately supported by Indians themselves posting videos of uncivil behaviour on r/indianrailways and such. Plus, Indians and Pakistanis on Reddit do disparage and dismiss each other — idk about any particularly extremist sentiment. But this disparagement is typically limited to Indian subreddits, which mostly consist of ethnic Indians — judging by the prevalence of Hindi — who I guess have strong feelings on the matter (dunno about Pakistani subs, as I haven’t seen them).

Also, Reddit is implementing automated moderation lately, which does stuff like detecting bigotry based on nationality. This moderation is very stupid and ineffective so far, as it removes one comment and issues a warning, while hundreds of comments with the same sentiment are visible plain as day, but don’t contain the same keywords. Meanwhile many completely innocuous comments are getting hidden because the automation felt wonky about them.

Reddit is leftist by US standards. Even though Spez is reportedly Republican, that doesn’t seem to be reflected in the platform’s operations. Instead they’re ruining it by making the content shittier and introducing stupid crap like automatic moderation that shadow-hides many comments for no good reason.

With long hair, you have two particular easy opportunities:

• Just trim only the temples with a trimmer, and let the rest grow as it pleases. Or cut the ends to some length that makes sense. This way you can have a ponytail, or loose hair if that’s your style, and look okay.

• Or, get a ‘long mohawk’: have a barber buzz the sides so that you have the back and top in a straight wide stripe, then tie a ponytail and shave the sides with a trimmer once every week or two. This is more fit for dudes, though there are photos of gals in image search too. The benefit of this style is that it’s more chilly than a full head of hair, while also being low-maintenance.

Works the other way too.

Good question, especially considering that the site is owned by Fandom, Inc. now.

I’ve seen several sites dedicated to old games go down in just a few recent years.

There are also a whole bunch of mixes from Lynchland at Mixcloud: like ‘Lynchland Members Mix #1’ or ‘Songs from the Stars II ~ Twin Peaks 2017’. And also ‘Twin Peaks 2017 Cast Mixtape’.

Not just in Siberia. Though this one is defunct.
