> "No one can love you until you love yourself" is like the worst possible way of articulating "if you don't respect and value yourself, it's very easy to become attracted to people who don't treat you right and then justify their mistreatment, so be careful."

I think there is not one single success and celebration of human ingenuity in #ForAllMankind that isn't followed by the jolt of a reminder that space is a dangerous business and anything can go horribly wrong at any time, because space is just out to murder you and you're protected by the flimsiest stuff you can get away with carrying around.

I am thoroughly enjoying #ForAllMankindS3 but it is a ride, it's not a casual thing to watch.

I have to remind myself that Scarlett Johansson's last name is spelled in Swedish, because when people pronounce it in English it sounds more like the Danish Johansen, and also other Swedish descendants in the US have usually streamlined it and removed an "s" after a generation or two, so it's rare to see the original spelling in non-Swedish media.

I'm trying to remember her name as pronounced in Swedish, to have something to hang the spelling on.

We watched #nimona again. The story is children's book straightforward, but the art is so beautiful, the setting is really cool, Nimona is such an interesting and sad and fun character, Bal's growth is really beautiful, voice acting is on point and the dialog can be so hilarious.

@Zeb King 🇨🇦 I wasn't asking so much as observing. 😊

I think people using cdn rather than can as a prefix on Fedi are a pretty large majority. Adapting cdn based on that seems rational to me, the point is connecting, not to pick the "best" symbol according to whatever standard.

But maybe that's because I'm Swedish. 😄

@LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} @Bob Jonkman When I write about different currencies, I never use the strange $nnn format, much less e.g. HK$nnn, it never made sense to me.

Keep it as a local convention when it's obvious which $, fine, same with "nnn kr" for Swedish crowns, but in international comparisons, I wish everyone could treat currencies as normal units and use the international symbols, like 100 USD = 780 HKD = 100 EUR = 1000 SEK, instead of US$100 = HK$780 = 100 EUR = 1000 kr.

@Graydon But do you think anyone would come up with the idea of abbreviating "Canadian" CDN, if it wasn't already a letter combination they'd been exposed to their whole life? Sounds to me like the CDN existed first and then people came up with a meaning to match.

No other country writes an abbreviated adjective/possessive for their country in their hashtags, it's just ukpol, uspol, sepol, hkpol, fipol, etc.
