Fair use is not disrespectful, it’s not illegal, it’s not worsening the climate crisis like your local models.
I’m gonna guess that it’s durian ice cream.

They should be equally acceptable without needing to be sexualized. But even if you like seeing tits, the best way to see other’s is to not be weird, dehumanizing, or non-consenting about it. That’s like the 1 rule of etiquette anyway, try within reason to not make other people uncomfortable.

41·12 days agoSounds like a skill issue. Good translation is hard and is rarely a literal one to one mapping of syntax and diction. It’s an interpretive art.

71·12 days agoSounds like a skill issue. Bad translations are bad because they don’t find good ways to translate these kinds of things. As you say, translation isn’t just about the words, it’s about cultural context. But, bad translations aren’t inevitable just because good translations are difficult.
It only does this for things (usually municipal or government related) with a well defined, continuous, and singluar boundary. Search for nearby Lake Buena Vista, City of Orlando, or Orange County and Google Earth behaves exactly that way. But Disney’s land holdings are likely not completely contiguous.
Logically most people would want to see the boundary of all the Disney things when they search for Disney World, but that’s also not a real region with a well defined simple boundary Google can show and so it doesn’t. Google Earth can represent points (or geolocated 3D buildings that are essentially points), lines (like roads), polygons, and elevation. In fact, you can force Google to do this by collecting the pins of various locations into a list. When you select the list, Google zooms to the level that shows them all. But Google Maps would be the tool to search for “all the Disney properties” or “all the burrito places near me” to get quick and made to order lists like this, Google Earth simply isn’t built to to that.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•You ever been to Disney World?
11·25 days agoSo you’re new to reading maps? Is that the joke? Because the resort is the collection of all the various parks. Magic Kingdom is just to the north, Epcot is off to the east a bit, Hollywood Studios (now a part of Disney) is to the southeast, just south of Epcot, Blizzard Beach is mostly south and a little west, Animal Kingdom is south west, the Disney Golf courses are northwest. This point is basically the centeroid of all of those places because none of them are Disney World alone, they are only Disney World in the collective. It’s not like Disneyland, which is a single park in the middle of town. Yes, they built in a swamp. What you’ve zoomed into is undeveloped land that I’m pretty sure Disney owns.
So, yes, that is Disney world, but I wouldn’t send you a closeup of my nipple if you asked for a selfie.

1·26 days agoIt’s because the precision is overstated in the conversion to imperial. If they’re going to convert units they could at least give the correct significant digits. It should have read (if one insists on not just leaving it in metric):
- Operational altitude: nearly 1 mile (1.5km)
- Weight: Under 1 ton (imperial or metric. Take your pick, it hardly matter.)

5·1 month agoYou’ve just traded down votes for the report button.
I say they are two different use cases. There is often a very wide gulf between a comment that I feel does not contribute to good discussion and one that is so heinous that it needs to be removed. Most of your comments for instance: pretty naive and banal adding little good to the discussion overall, but I don’t feel that you’ve said anything hateful, obscene, or aggressive enough to warrant total removal. Usually I just downvote and move on, especially when I don’t want to hear that person’s bad take reply on my own point of view. I’ve made an exception here for you simply because you are trolling all over this thread, seemingly inviting downvotes. But, I’m going to block you and move on because you’ve killed any interest I have in this thread or the larger discussion. I still don’t think your comments rise to the level of reporting.
Reports and blocks aren’t a replacement for downvotes and if your instances doesn’t federate downvotes you shouldn’t use them that way.
Why do you say that?
I like that one of the meanings is also to pick up ideas like a bee picks up pollen. We have the power to make this an English word too. We can just start using it. I’m not doomscrolling anymore, I’m butining memes and trivia.
Also, has anyone ever been in a friendly feeding (far from a hive) swarm of bees constantly and curiosly head butting you without getting stung? Just got to be careful they don’t get caught in your hair and panic. Just saying that getting a bunch of little bee high fives as you meander through a field is special kind of feeling.
Yes, I read your comment. It’s okay if you didn’t understand my comment. Clearly you don’t understand how filesystems and drive mounting works under Linux or the role of desktop environments in managing filesystems, mounting, and permissions. I don’t doubt that you’re genuinely struggling here, but there is no call for that kind of hostility. You might have some hope for figuring it out if you open your mind to the fact that you don’t fully understand what your problem is.
Steam expects the games to be in a particular place with a particular set of permissions and ownership relative to the user(s) and/or group(s) expected to use those game files. I’m telling that Linux doesn’t care where those files physically reside. You can tell Steam that those files are exactly where Steam expects them to be at the filesystem level, without messing with Steam configs, nautilus, gnome, or KDE. There are several ways to do this, but without understanding the requirements of your machine no one here will be able to give you effective advice.
I’ve seen some other comments from you about running something or other as root or just blanket chmods to 777 and I can tell you from experience that those are rarely effective solutions and can sometimes make things worse (just try something like that when configuring ssh configs, keys, and permissions).
What does any of this have to do with KDE, Gnome, or nautilus? If symlinks aren’t working, I’d dedicate an entire drive to Steam by mounting that drive (with matching permissions) right where Steam expects to find them. You can mount a filesystem/disc/ISO/drive/network share practically anywhere you want. If your network is fast enough, I bet you could even access your games over NFS, though I wouldn’t recommend it.
