When lined up against a wall with Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, and Jimmy Dean's Big John, it's John Mastodon that stands tallest.

John Mastodon wrote the original script for the Nativity Play, and he gets royalties every time someone says "I'm sorry, there's no room at this inn".

Watching the original Peter Pan animated movie. My, but the "indians" are ...problematic. I get the "product of its time" but I hadn't seen this since I was a kid, decades ago.

On the main, I believe works should remain unendited for changing times. Include an explanation of the context, and have a discussion about it.

But, oh my.

So I found out that Duolingo straight up nuked all their forums and decided to move shit to Discord.
Honestly I just assumed that you could only access comments on desktop, but NOPE.

Well, I finally hit a 1400 day streak. Two months until the four year streak. Maybe I'll quit then. Because I needed those comments when a lesson was obnoxiously difficult, sometimes because foreign languages just have really weird phrases or structures and Duolingo gives you only really basic notes.

Anyway, are there any other achievement/xp based language learning apps that have a good forum community that I can access from their app? It needs to be that, otherwise I'll keep using Duolingo. Hell, I'll give priority to the comments over the xp. It helps my motivation to have xp, but it feels empty without the notes from natives and people who know more than me.

I find that Tabasco Brand makes hot sauce that isn't as hot as it looks, ha.

It's the distinctive flavor of the habanero that makes me a big fan.

The net worth of Ismail Haniyeh, leader of Hamas, is $4 billion.

He resides in Qatar, while Palestinians in Gaza live in poverty.

Experimenting with the CW feature 

It also looks like Qoto doesn't make the label "sensitive content" but actually does show "show more". Something that makes me go HMMMMMM.

What did I learn in 2023?

You don’t have to be Atlas to know what the weight of the world feels like.

europesays.com/968496/ Russia declares that EU sanctions “have failed miserably” to undermine the Russian economy. However, the 12th package of EU sanctions is already putting pressure on Russian exports. #Ukraine #UkraineConflict #Ukrainian #UkrainianConflict

experiment to see if "sensitive content" warning can be re-labeled. Looks like it cannot be.

There isn't a simple answer to your question about "show more". When there's a difference in character limits in one Mastodon instance compared to another, it's the instance with the shorter limit that automatically generates that feature.

Functionally, in Mastodon, it's similar to the Content Warning feature (CW).

One can manually insert the command on Friendica instances by using BBCode format, but that doesn't always translate when a Friendica post is read by a Mastodon instance.
