It’s a common practice in Northern VA for churches to hold worship services in schools on the weekends
For free? I'm aware of church organisations hiring out school halls here in Australia, but they're hiring them, for the same rate that a sports club or other hobby group would.

The first "couple"? I see the porn subs that we defederate because the admin doesn't want to risk legal liability. There's the one tanky instance that they defederated before later deciding not to defederate tanky instances. There's the spam Reddit resharing instance. There's the two instances mentioned in this LW post, which seems to indicate it's about illegal content, not political alignment. That just leaves exploding heads, which was right-wing, but gave up hosting at all after everyone defedded them, and hilariouschaos.com. That one, I don't know, so I'll take your word that it's right-wing. But that only leaves one, not a couple.
Aww she gorgeous!
That's me for about a week with any new device. Then I slowly get more and more lax, until eventually I'm the one on the right.
It's also the name of the shark in the survival crafting game Raft.
RES was around long before new Reddit and it does what it does based on what classic Reddit has in it, and what it gets itself. I don't know much more detail than that, except that the devs basically lost interest in doing more than maintenance of it after the redesign came out.
should Fediverse platform/app devs spend time trying to accomodate specific shitty platforms?
That's one way to look at it. I would pose it as

I saw that claim, but they certainly didn't have any at any Coles or Woolies anywhere near me in inner Brisbane. At least not based on their websites.
I'm sure RES doesn't have a sweetheart deal with Imgur. It must be possible without their agreement.
You don't need "deals" with YouTube etc. for videos. You just…do it. YouTube supports embedding natively. Imgur I'm pretty sure can be directly linked. Not sure about the others.

Not from Perth, but the difficulty of finding Easter Bilby chocolates is very disappointing.
I dunno about America, but Australia has the problems you listed, but we also have problems with tax incentives to investing in housing rather than investing elsewhere, which also helps push up property prices by increasing demand without affecting supply.
Yeah it was easy for me, because I recall that I first watched it in 2013, and binging all 4 seasons that then existed in a pretty quick timeframe. So I knew it had to be pretty close one way or the other. It ended up extremely close to that "less than half of a season", with 12 out of 25 episodes of season 1 being in 2009.
Community had less than half a season in the '00s, so calling it an '00s show sitcom seems a bit of a stretch.
Early on, Matlock had a motif if older women being invisible. The show has long since let that theme fall by the wayside, but it's no less relevant.

The etymology of fencing was a trade
An interesting bit of etymology that I learnt recently.
The English word "fencing" (as in sword fighting) comes from English "defence", from Old French "defens", from Latin "defendere", meaning "to ward off, defend".
The French word for fencing is "escrime". The Italian and Spanish words are also close cognates with French. "Escrime" comes from Old French "escremir", from Frankish "*skirmjan".
That means English, a Germanic language, gets its word from Latin, a Romance language.
And the Romance languages of French, Spanish, and Italian get their word from Frankish, a Germanic language.
Essentially, the Romance and Germanic language families did a trade.
