Oh sleep talking nonsense is the best! When I was in college my roommate wrote down what I said whe I was sleeping, it could be roughly translated like this:
"We have a crooked goat in our head that we can grab by the wall and then we can go fuck ourselves because we've had enough of it and that's it"
I couldn't make this shit up even if I tried ...
Where did you play with your friends? Where did you hang out? How did your day look like? I grew up in a small town in a small country and that's something that I always found mysterious and fascinating. When I grew up we played soccer, hide and seek, hanging out next to a river. I was always wondering how a childhood in places like Manhattan looks like

Because it isn't an AI actually, it's just LLM. It's trained to create pictures that look similar to pictures of humans and it does pretty good job at it. The number of fingers or structure of hand doesn't matter, it's close enough. If it'd be intelligent, it'd know that humans have 5 fingers. But it isn't

Do we know the dimensions of the 1000$ house? And what is included in this price? I can't find it in the article
Because if I take tiny 3m x 3m house with height of 2,5 m. With standard bricks of 375mm x 250 mm x 250 mm - that's 320 bricks. I found cheapest bricks for 2.58 €, that's 825 € for all bricks. Sure you need cement and a roof but all I'm saing, the price of wall material usualy isn't a problem

Unpopular opinion but wine.
From my experience majority of people can't distinguish between 5€ wine and 500€ wine. And even if they do, they say it tastes "a bit better", not worth the 495€ difference. Pick one that tastes good to you and don't be ashamed if it's cheap.

I'm not a US citizen but I'd say if you don't like US overthrowing governments all around the world, then you should be double concerned it happening to your country. Those data are really powerfull tool for such thing and they have been used for it in case of Brexit. It's quite shocking to compare a foreign superpower with an advertising company and put it on the same level.

A classmate of mine from elementary school is a professional voleyball player. She traveled the world, played for teams in Europe, Middle east and Asia. Eventually she settled in the exact same village as me on the completely oposite side of the country from where we grew up. I didn't even know until my wife told me that one of our neighbours was born in the same town as me

Yes, I guess that's up to a debate which one is better (or none of them).
I'd say if we imagine housing as a scale from 0 to 100 where 0 means you're homeless and 100 means you're living in a mansion
- The US way sounds like you're using the whole scale - you've quite a lot of homeless people, but also quite a lot of people living in mansions. Some people are above average, some are bellow awerage and so on.
- The soviet way is like if you'd shrink the scale to 30 to 50. You have no homeless people but also no one is living in a mansion (well ... ). But also notice the best you can achieve in such system is average.
Which approach is better? I guess from "progress" point of view the US system is better. Theoretically if you're skilled and hard working, you can get above average and live better life. That's actually the reason why so many skilled and talented people fled the soviet union - in the west there was no "ceiling" for you. On the other hand, from humanity point of view though, the soviet system sounds much better - country caring about every single one of its citizens to have a place to live.
But I'd argue that maybe the 3rd way is best. Because well both Soviets and US are extremes. Soviets were ... well ... soviets. It's like "left" on steroids. Also it failed - I mean if it was such a paradise on earth, why were so many people fleeing it.
But US is also an extreme - you're like a capitalist lunapark. Even other countries from west are often horrified how you take care of people (or rather not care)
But there is some middle ground between these - you can have a system with focus on social issues but also not go crazy f.e. some scandinaviam countries

I add that "cannot be evicted" is a double edge sword here. Since appartments were free and were assigned more or less random (cough, cough, corruption), very often you got one or two ... let's say "interresting" neighbours
Edit: well some interresting facts from my mom who's sitting next to me - there were quite some downsides
- My father asked for an appartment and the answer was: get married. As a single guy you won't get anything.
- Also when you get married and have children, there's no guarantee that you get some big appartment. Her colleague had 3 children, a husband and got 1 room appartment anyway
- There was a list of people waiting for appartments. When you were somewhere down, you wait, for years
- When she asked for an apparartment as a married woman, a "commission" arrived to verify, whether we as a familly really need one. And whether we couldn't stay living with grandma
- When my grandma with my mom moved into a newly built appartment, they opened a window and it fell off. My grandad caught it thankfully so it didn't break. They never openned that window again. There was no one to repair it and a replacement was basically impossible. They were able to open it again in like 2010 when she changed windows
I love Lemmy and I try to spread the info about it but almost always I face one issue - people being confused. For me (and probably you) it's hard to understand what's confusing about the way Lemmy works, I mean email works on the same principle and everyone's ok with it. It basically boils down to like 3 questions: - Why do I need to choose a server? - What is the server / instance? / Is server a subreddit? - Is Lemmy the same thing like Reddit? So my idea: Could we put it as a FAQ on the join-lemmy.org? Feel free to submit best answers to these questions (I try to submit mine later when I have some time). Or come up with other frequent questions you heard

Provided by [SSA.gov](https://www.ssa.gov/oact/babynames/background.html). For the age ranges, we make the assumption that all women lived to exactly 73 years old, which is the life expectancy for females at birth in 1960. Therefore, the population in each age range will not be entirely accurate, particularly for 69+, but it nonetheless shows the trends of birth rates and popularity of these names over time.

I mean seriously, me and my brother are watching it right now on RTVS (Slovak National Television) and we realised that the story arc was never finished, Fantomas was never caught. In the spirit of remakes and reboots it's time I'd say
I'm sure not many of us here are from Slovakia but just wanted to share. So this is kind of embarasing but after 4 years of making family tree I found out that 1930 and 1940 census from Slovakia is apparently online. I don't know how I missed it. Nevertheless to say the least, my excitement has been through the roof for like 2 weeks. Note that 1940s census is "blacked" since it hasn't passed 90 years from its creation. It'll be "un-blacked" in 2030. However you can still see the names which might be also helpful (it was for me). Note 2: there is an (quite successful) attempt at indexation of the results here: https://scitacieharky.sk/ Note 3: you cannot download the forms because of license. Printing sucks so screenshots are probably the only option

Boost fails to open .mp4 for me. When I browse "All" there usually is some mp4 content, especially from ... well ... nsfw instances. Theese almost always fail and I see just black screen. Firefox on mobile opens it without a problem and so does Sync For Lemmy. Do you have this issue or is it just me? F.e. can you open this link? NSFW: https://lemmynsfw.com/post/11686872 I see this: ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/94dd89d4-331b-4b48-bf74-ca52b5fe0942.jpeg) I don't know if this is caused by instance or by Boost but as I said, Sync doesn't have this problem. And I like Boost more
