Huh, today I learnt, Minoans were settlers and had some settlements outside of Crete in nearby islands. I still couldn’t find info about Santorini itself, but you presumably have heard that piece of info somewhere, so I’ll take your word for it, random internet person.

Which should be embarrassing, because I grew up in Crete, we studied Minoan history 3-4 times throughout school, and had multiple school trips to the various ruins.

But nope. Just dates and languages, and some of the art (this piece’s clothes are historically accurate, actually. Lovely era).

**close to.

Tl;dr:

France tries to pass an extremely unpopular reform on its colonized island on the other side of the world, allowing french citizens to vote after 10 years of staying on the island, that just so happens to be the world’s 3rd largest nickel exporter.

Locals, already fucked by years of colonialism and being economically disadvantaged, protested, and in the escalating violence, were suppressed by armed police, that killed 3 young locals. One policeman dies, days later in the hospital from a wound.

France locks down the airport and port with military, applies 12 days lockdown to the already curfew’d capital, and stations another 500 police men on top of the 1800, making for almost 10% of the population now, being french police.

Tiktok is banned, because it was said to be the main way protesters organised.

Their politicians claim no colonialism is happening.

This article sensationalises the violence of the protesters, and dryily describes that of the French state.

It is also ordered such that the heavier crimes against the people of the island, are placed after: a vapid introduction that “takes no sides”, one mandatory extra click to “load the rest of the article”, and a bunch of ads.

Here in Greece where the weather gets hot as fuck in the summer, and where we get an incredible number of tourists, it’s not uncommon to see some of them (one every two days for example, if you work around the busier places in the centre of the tourist city I live in) be braless.

Mostly younger (white, probably middle class) women, but I think people are slowly being liberated again with younger adult Gen z, after a big sexual closing-off that happened last couple decades.

This week in KDE: all about those apps

Cool beans

And I appreciate them, as well ❤️

Yes, but that’s a really low bar to clear.

Like saying “cereal is WAY tastier than duct tape”.

You’re not wrong, but… It’s almost an insult to ferrets.

Sounds just as good

Even more appreciated, coming from you, cum.

Or at least my posts. Thank you little gay people in my phone

High schoolers should cooperate and help each other quit

As well as the adult’s ice cream volume. The volume of the person, as well as the volume of the snack

I have a question though. How is it pronounced?

Just always more glopossum please.

Skill issue

In case it’s not obvious to anyone reading, fitgirl is not a working out guru, and don’t Google her directly, her site has 50 bajillion copycats with malware. Go to your neighborhood’s friendly piracy community, and look for her in the guides.

Thanks a lot, I will probably take you up on your offer soon, as soon as things settle and patterns start to emerge, because things are still very new and chaotic for all 3 of us 😅

Honestly, it sounds to me like he just really wasn’t present in the moment.

I just cannot believe he would intentionally do such a thing, if he was aware of the entire situation, given your previous interactions. I might be projecting, (for I’ve been in such situations, and it was horrible for everyone involved), but I believe he was strongly tuned out somehow. Dissociated, either because of other things in his life at the time, or because of the date itself.

I think, no matter the cause, that’s still a bad sign for a date, he was not in a situation to pay attention to you, which was not a good thing at all.

If you feel some kind of empathy for that, or if you have any degree of interest, you could literally ask him. I think it’s good and proper to ask what was going on, about a time you were hurt, assuming you want further association with someone.

Otherwise, as a rule, I believe other people’s minds are kinda unknowable, and Very unreliable (we make mistakes all the fucking time), so I would not take it personally. I’d be willing to bet, it was not meant to be any kind of slight to you, or any intentional message. He probably just fucked up, and you should probably let it go, and move on.

To be clear, I don’t think there’s a right answer about whether you try to connect with him again or move on. Whichever you honestly feel you want, in your gut, is probably right.

Did I stutter?
