@vegos I agree. To most organizations, their primary concern is reach. So they congregate on big #corpocentric #socnets, even when the central corporation running things is actively hostile to their point of view. Then they're butthurt when their accounts are shadowbanned. Years ago, I tried to persuade some local Black churches and ethic-focused organizations to join !GNUsocia… -

There's also Megablocks, the precursor to Duplo. And there are also Micro Megablocks, the same size as LEGO. The kits for Micro Megablocks were much better than the LEGO kits, making slightly larger models but using only standard bricks. The LEGO models were smaller, depending on many custom pieces specific to the kit, which were pretty useless for general brick construction. -

Not only are Duplo blocks *like* Lego blocks, they *are* Lego blocks, and I don't just mean that Duplo is a Lego brand and produced in the same factory, the two systems are actually compatible.A Lego 2x2 block fits and sticks to the underside of a Duplo block, and the nob on the top of a Duplo block fits with the pillar in the middle under a Lego 2x2 b… -

In the Netherlands (which the Dutch call "Nederland") the language is called "Nederlands", so that makes sense. Perhaps English speakers couldn't differentiate between "Nederlands" and "Deutsch", which corrupted to "Dutch".
And why do we call the country "Germany" and the inhabitants "Germans" when they call their country "Deutschland" and themselves "die Deutsche"? -

I do like the taste of onion bagels. When the other bagels in the bag acquire an onion flavour it's a poor experience at best, almost certainly leading to the purchase of a *real* onion bagel. #AOBFS #AcquiredOnionBagelFlavourSyndrome -

@bobjonkman @blacksam Would that still be true if you actually liked onion bagels?
Asking because, although I don't eat bagels at all, it seems to me that you're probably unusually sensitive to the flavor of onion ... which would likely be the case if you disliked that flavor. -

How come no matter what flavor bagel you buy from the bakery, it's always, to some extent, an onion bagel?
