Rochambeau was a French general for the American revolution. There is no evidence the nick name for rock, paper, scissors has any relationship with the actual man. Janken(rock, paper, scissors) came to America in the 20th century by Japanese immigrants. Roshambo is slang from the West Coast of the US. First evidence of the term was 1936 in Oakland.
Maybe it was named after the general, maybe it’s a coincidence, we don’t know.

Where does it say imperialist is a no-go?
Does it say they don’t want an imperialist nation?
A show about a intergalactic federation of planets hosting different species of beings shouldn’t be… political? That’s precisely the only thing it has to be.
Since it’s a series; sometimes it’s a romance, action, mystery, suspense, thriller, and even comedy. All of which could be argued for or against, but to say it shouldn’t be political is like asking it to ease-up on the science-fiction. How?!

I’m sure I’m late to the game on that one. Found it on Lemmy. Super fun geography puzzle/trivia game.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who can understand multiple languages, or have moved to another country, or otherwise traveled abroad; Do you feel like you experience existence from a PoV that nobody else can understand?
12·3 months agoSpouse is Kenyan and I have learned a fair bit of Swahili. My spouse is fluent in English, Swahili, and their tribal language which I know basically none of.
I never could have imagined how much it would help me understand them better by understanding their language. It has profoundly changed me as a person.
Language is not purely functional, it is woven into who we are and how others perceive us to be. I started learning to simply participate more with them and their family, now I am experiencing my brain be rewritten.
As a person who only spoke English well into adulthood and then is rapidly learning a very different language and culture, I feel like I have a POV that nobody else in my life understands.
Thanks for asking :)
Is that a reference to Ajit Pai’s Reese’s mug or does Kash have some weird mug too?
She turned me into a newt!

Thanks for the tldr and the links, that’s perfect. Appreciate the effort.

It was shut down after Russia invaded in 2014 and was only %18 of the drinking water supply.
I really appreciate the effort you put in to get me that information.






I think Donnie makes executive decisions based on my aunts racist facebook posts. If she reposted an AI photo with superimposed text suggesting free health care hurts minority groups, every American would be covered by February.
