Позавчера (pozavchyera) in Russian. Pretty sure French has something as well.

Usually you do just say “the day before yesterday/last”, and it’s super awkward. Nothing else is guaranteed to be understood (people are being creative with the new words in this thread). It’s the same for “the day after tomorrow”. Two days ago might also work, but that could mean different things, depending on if you’re counting the present day or not.

In case you don’t know, there has to be more than one shitpost@lemmy. Like, I think I’ve seen the .world one.

They all have something. It’s like just statistically inevitable, since none of them were really designed.

Pretty much every culture other than progressive Western has stronger extended families, which is nice. Squatting is a great way to sit if you start young. Both eating everything with four legs except a table, and being vegetarian are more logically consistent dietary preferences. Toilet paper is dumb.

Languages are pretty similar. English has some nice features, but having a word for the day before yesterday would be handy, for example.

It’s usually pretty easy to get your voice heard in a municipal government. You should look into what the processes are to get on the microphone at a meeting.

In a city, there’s no promise you’ll get the time of day, though. There might be 20 other Karens complaining about too many tree leaves, or not enough open space by the sidewalks.

Mocktails are definitely zoomers, IIRC millennials drink more like gen X. If you’re in an area that had the OG hipsters, remember they were all guzzling craft beer.

Thrifting might go back further, but it’s definitely a trend that continues.

Iran is an ally of Hezbollah, which is actually in competition with the (other?) Lebanese state. Iran’s also pretty tight with Palestinian Hamas.

Mocktails and thrifting, in North America.

They haven’t really done anything comparable to the Lebanese, but there is all kinds of places in the Middle East they covet.

A strict wake-up time that’s the same every day helps. I put the alarm far away from my bed so I have no choice to drift back off.

All the usual tips apply: a cool room, no blue light at night, no distractions in the bedroom, get up for a while if it’s not working…

Shame. That would have had real “Paul Ryan likes RATM” energy.

Really. If this were another Afghanistan, we’re like a couple percent of the way through.

It does seem low, doesn’t it? It might add up, that’s a bit less than 20,000 2 million dollar missiles, and a lot of it is actually going to be on labour or other things. It is a more impressive figure when you consider how long this has been going on.

Not to mention, the weapons being used are niche and pretty hard to replace on any reasonable timeline. It’s not the same as expending the same value in concrete or grain.

In terms of roads, a lot, but probably not as much as you’re thinking. The US DOT is allowed like 300 billion in a year.

On the other hand, saving the poorest of the poor is cheap, and 37.5 would make all the difference. The World Food Program wanted 13 this year and didn’t get it.

And somehow, the reaction actually is “I’ll take it” instead of “I’m not sure how equities will help me survive Terminator”.

I can’t think of a time I ever looked up someone’s account karma. Maybe there was a time or two I noticed it was discordant with their level of activity.

Karma on a post takes up some of the role nonverbal signals have IRL, and Lemmy separating out up and downvotes is an improvement.

They both feel so terrible.

I guess, the best would be to be the idiot, and then get kicked out. Dragging everyone down with you comes with so much guilt (or should), while a bit of rejection beats the frustration of being a Cassandra.

Unless it’s a team doing something evil, in which case you should make them idiots, and then quit.

Believe it or not (.ml types won’t), every brown person isn’t automatically in a club where they all love each other. There’s plenty of weird prejudices and ethnic tensions you haven’t even heard of.

Venus is slightly smaller than Earth.

Well, rage is cheap, and mostly exclusively online. (Which also shows how much anyone actually cares about Palestine, or whatever other issue)

The actual thing to do, if you do care, would be to lobby and get involved with local political causes, and read whatever news presents the facts neutrally and accurately.

Less upset would be good, in general. 98% of the people on here just go on the internet and get upset. That’s not noble, that’s masturbation.

This is just as trash as whatever Fox News article.
