Wikipedia says it’s a derogatory term used for Pakistani people.

I see your point. What I wrote before was just me feeling that the article was failing to make it clear enough.

Yeah no.

The only healthy amount of alcohol is zero.

I have a “Current email address” and a “New email address” field in my account settings.

It follows the pattern of Kafkian, Goethean, Brechtian, Ibsenian, Camusian, Foucauldian…

Transparency in a flag? In web it will be just a blue dot on any background (including blue). It also restricts the number of materials it can be made of.

Yoti? The privacy violating Yoti? The law breaching Yoti?

“Nonce” is an insult in the UK.

I’m just spitballing now but the Government might be implying “you are probably a civilian reading this and deciding when it’s a distress situation is up to military personnel”? No idea, frankly.

The quote is direct from the ANZAC Day Commemoration Commitee: https://anzacday.org.au/the-australian-national-flag

The upside-down thing is not exclusive to the USA flag. Regarding the Australian flag:

To fly a flag upside down is a signal of distress. The Australian National Flag should not, therefore, be displayed with the Union Jack down on any occasion except as a signal of distress.

So it’s kinda displaying an “SOS” when you don’t actually need assistance, I guess?

But as with all symbology, it gets constantly resemantified by the circumstances. Given this article it seems that it’s starting to become a bit of a cooker thing: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-11/upside-down-flags-protest-regional-victorians/106592092

Found an old fluff piece about Damien Costas by MensHealth and it’s superfunny to read it from the future. So much leadership and innovation and smoke.

Thanks!

I get 404.

By “differently” you mean “utterly wrong every time”, right?

It would define “woman” in law as “an adult human biological female”, and “man” as “an adult human biological male”.

Biological female and biological male left conveniently undefined because they can’t find a definition that only discriminates exactly the people they emotionally hate.

I like Unexpected from the F-Droid store but takes a little bit to get used to it.

And half the world has been telling him since 2016.

Respect goes both ways.
