It depends on what those opposing viewpoints are. If they involve actively targeting and harming vulnerable people, I have no space at all for those viewpoints or the people that hold them.

For the other stuff, maybe a 7.

Like, a Colombian, or an Argentinian or a Costa Rican?

Honestly, all the time. They’re awesome folk!

Meh. I perform much better at shorter distances. Even at my peak, my long distance runs were under the expectations of where they should be based on my 5km time. Even the genetic test I did said I’m built more for running fast 5kms than I am for running marathons and half marathons.

Yet for all of that, if I’m running an event, I’m going to run a half marathon, because I just don’t enjoy 5km as much as I enjoy long distances. Unless it’s a parkrun, it’s not worth getting out of bed for a 5km running event.

Speaking from my own experience, I would say it’s effective, but not fast, but leads to better results in the end.

None of that is why I use it though. I simply enjoy it more this way.

I’ve been learning Spanish though a similar method

Well, in that regards, they’re similar to blahaj, as in, our instance doesn’t just have trans communities. Our user base is focused on trans and gender diverse folk however. Hexbear, similarly, has all sorts of communities, but their userbase is focused on shared politics, even though their areas of discussion are not restricted to that.

Hexbear is very protective of it’s trans users and it has a lot of them. But its “specialist area” is politics.

I think it’s a good thing, because it discourages centralisation. If we end up with a bunch of specialist instances, then diversity suffers, because everyone looking for a specific area will end up on the one single specialist instance dedicated to it.

And I say that as the admin of an instance focused on the trans and gender diverse folk. There is a reason that we don’t enforce specialisation on those topics in our instance communities though. Even so, we still tend to be “the trans instance”, when I’d much prefer it if we were just one of many, like we are on the microblog part of the fediverse.

On the chance that you’re engaging honestly, rather than just trolling…

WhatsApp, Roblox and Signal all run fine in Linux.

This is the ProtonDB page for Roblox. https://www.protondb.com/app/2181790. ProtonDB is a database that assesses how well windows games run under linux, and in this case, Roblox is Gold rated.

There are numerous WhatsApp apps and wrappers that run under linux, and Signal has an official Linux version found here https://signal.org/download/linux/

Mierda!

This is a post processed cropped version of one of the original stills. I have a hard time believing there’s an object behind it…

What sort of additional information?

This would have been a very low flying aircraft, flying directly in to a very energetic thunderstorm! I have the 100MP original stills too, and there is no sign of an aircraft that I can make out

Well, it turns out I can use emails from facebook in that time period as proof, and I’ve got plenty of those. However… I would need to provide my ID to facebook to make a claim, and the reason I no longer have a facebook account is my adamant refusal to provide my ID to them.

So thus it ends before it begins :)

I was active back then, but I no longer have an active facebook account, so I have no easy way to confirm my eligibility.

Sorry, I was trying to be outright hostile, not passively.

There are no widely federated edgelord instances at this point in time

Wine and running! Though not at the same time. I probably would hate that

You’re right about that, and if I ever do go back, that will be why! But the sameness I was talking about is more the cultural identities of the countries. Every place we stayed felt like it could be transplanted to Australia, and fit right in. It might be different if I wasn’t Australian :)
