Let me put it in words of one syllable for you, since you’re desperately reaching for any goalpost you can find to shift: I don’t know who you think you’re talking to, but it isn’t anyone who’s replied to you on this thread.
Heavens, it’s lucky we have people as smart as you to put the rest of us in our place. That guy has told you repeatedly, for instance, that he’s not American and views “Trump voter” as an insult. And yet you persist in accusing him of being an American Trump voter, while jerking it to the sound of your own voice - surely the act of someone a cut above the common herd, who’s not a self-important asswipe at all.
It’s the colours.
When I was five, my mum tied red, white and blue ribbons in my hair for the royal wedding. Obviously my hair ribbons didn’t resemble the Union Jack. But everyone knew what they represented, nonetheless.
So are Irish conditions different from conditions over the sea in Wales, or…?
From what I can tell, the secret is rubber boots.
Wasn’t the issue with this one that money was changing hands in exchange for a printed, physical book? Like, I know the team wasn’t making money, but it’s understood in fanfic circles that this is a Bad Idea and this was a very high profile (and, sadly, professional-looking) project.
The work is now on AO3 alongside countless other Star Trek fanfics that exist with no trouble. If they’d done that all along, I suspect there would never have been an issue.
Linehan being attached to something isn’t a plus these days…
Seems like only yesterday I was co-admining my first public server in 1996.
Fun times.
Just cook the chicken and eat it. You won’t notice the feathers.
Yeah. 7-bit ASCII goes back to what, the 60s? But computers still used different encodings and so different keyboards for A While.
The thing is you aren’t the audience. Discussion about anti-Asian racism in English tends to be focused on the experiences of e.g. Asian-American people and on the racist abuse they get from white people.
It’s actually that exact kind of self-moderation, surely? “hang on, doesn’t this word suck, let’s not use it”?
It was, but in its sense of flooding with unwelcome online content, it was a Usenet meme first. Goes back to the green card spammers.
Usenet was absolutely swarming with memes. They were text-based rather than image-based but they were definitely memes.
As a counterpoint, I’d like to mention that people often scream “reading incomprehension” when actually, what they wrote was ambiguous or unclear.
Not saying you do this, just that I see this far more often than I see people misreading anything.
m*nko begs to differ.
This reminds me of the not-very-edifying-at-all moment when “joey” became a universal term of abuse in UK playgrounds.
Baconreader was so good and so beautiful to look at. It still kind of works, mind, you just can’t log in.
I just got a warning for “threatening violence” for telling off a guy who said we should use mob beatings as criminal justice.
Admittedly, I said something like “I agree, we should all be able to beat and murder anyone we like for our own personal gratification”, but it was on /r/uk and I thought we understood sarcasm.
I would give my eye teeth for a Persona 5 community on lemmy.
A good one, ideally, which certainly would be a step up from reddit.
Always amuses me a bit when people say Kindles don’t support EPUB, since I’ve been stripping DRM from my books and storing them in Calibre (enabling transparent conversion between EPUB and Amazon’s formats) for thirteen years without a hitch. You should be doing this on any platform if you want to keep your books.
It’s beyond me why anyone who so much as knows what FOSS stands for wouldn’t do the same.
