…or just plain determination and time
Dicska@lemmy.worldto A Comm for Historymemes@lemmy.world•We still love you, Poland 🥺English1·6 days agoWas Bonawentura a name “gifted” to him, an actual family name, or is it just a coincidence that it sounds hella lot like ‘good adventure’ in Latin (or some romance language)?
True. But the 12 pack is the cheapest option anyway.Nevermind, I got it.
[6] 13.99/6 = $2.3316666666666666666666666666667 per doughnut
[12] 21.29/12 = $1.7741666666666666666666666666667 per doughnut
Did you accidentally divide by the same number in both cases?

EDIT: Holy hell, I just realised who I answered!
I broke around the time my coworker started referring to funny videos or pictures as memes.
Dicska@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•if you could go back in time, when? What for?1·10 days agoAh okay, thanks for clearing it up! I had no idea that double-original-op was actually a thing, and made me question myself about the meaning of the acronym.

Wait, what does OP stand for?
For a second I was playing with the thought: what if this was done for an actual reason? Like, you don’t have a garage, a huge storm is coming, and you don’t want your quad to be blown into someone’s bathroom. Plus, it makes the car heavier as well, so it’s two birds with one stone. But there’s nothing else I could think of (provided it’s not a moron).
hastighet
As a native speaker of a language that’s unlike anything, I envy you folks so much. Knowing enough English and German you just look at it, and go ‘aaah, speediness’ (I guess the ‘hast’/‘hastig’ bit is the same as ‘haste’/‘hasty’ in English, and the ‘het’ is the same as ‘heit’ /~ness’/ in German).
You wouldn’t guess the word, but reading it in context is so much easier.
Somewhere there is a larger jar full of Barbie bodies.
Let’s think about it cold. Kill seagull -> no witnesses, and the next seagull might do the same. I mean, let’s get on his level of apeshit crazy, and let’s assume seagulls actually understand stuff like humans, morals, and above all, human morals, and on top of that, they even care about those and want to comply. You didn’t give it a lesson, because it died before it could learn from it, or before it could let the other seagulls know it’s not cool to steal chips.
Hell, even when I’m trying to get on his level, it’s still primitively dumb.
If I got right what you’re saying (I might have misunderstood it), the situation is slightly different in Hungary. Instead of the media outlets and conglomerates trying to appease the governing party, it was actually an active takeover by direct and indirect government relationships/strawmen.
Slightly less relevant context:
spoiler
Back when the popularity of Internet was on the rise in Hungary, one of the biggest news media sites was origo.hu. It got later bought out by a company that kept getting funds from one of the organisations handled by the later minister of finance. Nothing to see here.
One of the largest and most popular independent media sites, index.hu got also taken over in a similar fashion by Orbán’s most infamous strawmen of the times, Lajos Simicska. Later on they had a falling out, and it was funny to see how suddenly his media took a 180, and in a phone call with a reporter he also called Orbán a scumbag (well, ‘geci’ /p.:~getsy/ was the actual term, which is a slur word for semen/cum, basically meaning scumbag, and the paraphrased ‘Orbán egy geci’ /Orbán is a ‘geci’/ became a meme, but I’m meandering off). However, his control over these portals was taken over, and for a short while there were only one or two significant news/media sites independent from the party’s control.
So the situation here is rather similar; the only difference was that we’re not the US, so let’s take the ‘us’ out of the above.
