At least in the German Wikipedia the problem of "not enough editors" is self made because the people with high reputation have no interest in guiding new people into making meaningful changes. Instead they give oppinionated feedback and revert edits (thereby increasing their activity score and increasing their own reputation). The random mentor system only works on paper. After ignoring the warnings of several people I had that exact same experience.

😂 Receio que em breve o conselho municipal estara recebendo pedidos para complicar o tracado das estradas!?

You seem to have more information than the rest of us? What did the EU exactly do? Because Eugen was lying when he said that the German Tax office retracted the non-profit benefits "without giving a reason". They can't and won't do that! If he says otherwise he either didn't understand and challenge the reason given or he is lying - period.

@aral
Fingers crossed for having a smooth sailing move. Enjoy your new dart connection ❤️

I own one and my grandpa taught me how to use them. If the grass is so high that the electric mower won't get through these things are great - but prepare for real backpains from hell...

"Subvocalization" is pretty normal but not every person does it:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subvocalization

Most of the time it is my own voice. But when i read something interesting like a fantasy novel I "synthesize" different voices for different characters. I can also "borrow" from my memory i.e. David Attenborough could do the narrators voice in Terry Pratchetts "Small gods" if I wanted to.

I also have inner dialogs all the time discussing things with "my inner selfs" - also common and pretty normal.

The one thing i realy hate about #mastodon is that I still can't figure out why even with @apps I sometimes see the thread start but replys by others won't load...
There are indeed excellent answers under this and lots of them are reassuring because a) non of us is a horrible outlier and should see a doctor and b) there are realy nice variations that make me wonder if our brain is just a whacky collection of random hacks or if all of this might have a evolutionary selection advantage.

Its the last Friday in July...

Yes also that ?. But the first sentence is actually german "bad simple English". If you want to say "I think you are all crazy here" one would say: "Ich denke ihr spinnt hier alle" which is often literally misstranslated: "I think you all spider".

I think you all spider. Bad puns are the roots of all weevil.
