I usually refrain myself from commenting on other people's appearances, because God knows I was last in queue, but when someone goes out of their way, and spends lots of money to look like a clown, it's only fair for them and everyone else to laugh at them.

Plastic doesn't age well I see.
She's 54. Act like it.
Lemmy is too small for it to make sense. I can easily read through all threads all the way through the controversial posts and still run out of content daily.
It made sense on Reddit, where accounts could be worth money and/or used for advertising, or some people thought karma points was worth it, or that posts there had influence, which they did for a while. The Unidan affair was only about votes, and showed how a single user manipulated the majority of readers into something that was WRONG ON THE INTERNET, which should be a crime.
Finally there's also people who view everything as a competition and just want the high score in that imaginary game. Endorphins or something. I'll admit that I have a longer streak than necessary in some apps too, but I'm no cheater. I wouldn't get my high off that anyway.

People also still say "hello" when they answer the telephone. That's even older.
They used muzzle loaded cannons at his time, so it makes sense. It's not only for direction, but for faster rate of fire.
No, you're not. The internet is unsurprisingly full of people being annoyed with just that.
The most valid explanation is that quotation marks used to mean something else. Before we had bold and italics and underscores, typographers would sometimes use quotation marks for emphasis. This kind of ancient mark-up language can be seen in advertising up until the 1950s or so. It is considered to be wrong now.
Yes. The previous poster's map appears to be from Google's satellite images. They don't photograph the sea, so the water that is photographed around land looks darker than the sea.

Well, it's also over-represented on your map. The area is a beautiful archipelago, but it's mostly water.
Åland? What about it?
I've only ever met one person from there. I forgot her name but she gave me a hug.
It's lice. You get 300 million lice.
Now, can you build the potato clocked, huh?
