they don't allow VPNs
Most likely to reduce the risk of ban-evading cheaters/griefers. Plus that most people usually avoid using a VPN when playing such games, due to the risk of increased latency.
For some reason, my steam ID wasn't banned.
All of these plugins initiate only an IP ban, so the person is able to rejoin with their "real" IP address.
But you've actually tried asking for your Steam ID to be whitelisted? Shame that their admins don't know how to/don't want to do it.
Why not ask the server admin to whitelist your Steam ID? If you're apparently a "regular" and don't cause problems, I don't see why they wouldn't whitelist you.
It also draws attention and could make you a target. Like, I disdain the whole "what do you have to hide" fallacy, but that's the impression that'd be broadcast to anyone who sees your place on streetview if you were to blur it out.
I think the lack of profile-wide "karma" is one benefit, so there's not as much incentive to farm imaginary internet points and such with the same old zingers. Who knows, but hopefully not.
How many of those thousands are actual good comments though? Last time I was there, I swear the majority of comments were from bots reposting the same comments that were in previous threads. It felt peak dead-internet.
Finland ended homelessness in Finland. It doesn't exist there.
There are over 3000 unhoused in Finland. Which is great progress, thanks to Housing First... but the fight isn't over.
The defense alliance is doing patrol missions, well within their own airspace. And when Russian pilots "get lost" and violate our airspace, is that also NATO's fault? What's the problem?
I never would have thought that Jim Cramer was a Lemmy user.
Haleon plc (British) apparently owns Sensodyne now of days, which was a joint venture of GSK (owning 2/3rds) and Pfizer. GSK has sold most of their stake, and Pfizer sold their entire stake recently.
there's always a reason for why things are the way they are
Of course, no one is saying that the Danes were so drunk that they simply wanted to make their numbering so much different than everyone else. The problem is that they don't want to change it, probably because "it has always been this way" or something.
Even Norwegian, which was historically more like Danish, changed to using "normal" counting in the 1950s. So it can be done, but Danes seemingly don't want to change, despite the fact it makes their language harder to learn/use.
I'd also assume it's referring to TPE-based toys? All that "jelly" stuff is garbage and shouldn't be allowed to be sold.
Many think that Windhund/vinthund is referring to wind (sighthounds are fast), but it's most likely folk etymology. It's believed the name most likely originated in lower German from the Wends - as sighthounds were mainly known from that region at the time.
