Yessssss, Guix covert.

I know it’s largely due to my own fanaticism regarding Guile but I think it’s such a great distro and feels like it never gets mentioned, anywhere.

Fair; I think you’re right and agree to disagree.

And of course; I appreciate yours, as well.

They say “for candidates I didn’t think deserved to be the nominee, let alone president” so I suspect they voted for the Democrat, in each election, rather than a third-party (considering their distaste for Democrats).

I’m fine with disagreeing. I just don’t like feeling that it ended with me failing to express my poi t of view properly. If I did explain it correctly and you disagree, that is fine by me

That’s entirely fair; I’m the same way.

I think the major difference (to me) is you’re putting typing words that they write for their own comments (of which you can easily ignore or block) on par with someone going out of their way to push you. It doesn’t really allow for any kind of plurality and sort of puts just annoying you on the level of personally targeting you for annoyance which feels like a major false equivalence. If simply commenting in a public space in the way they desire constitutes bothering you in a specific way, it feels on par with me feeling entitled to annoy people who spell “color” as “colour” just because it bothers me (it doesn’t, actually, but for the sake of example). It feels much more targeted than them targeting you.

That’s awesome! Haha, yeah; I know what you mean. Still, super glad that worked out.

Look, we obviously disagree and I think we’ll continue to do so and I’d prefer to part amicably so I say this less to start a discussion and more just my personal opinion: I feel like, if you explained to an elementary school teacher that your behavior, actually, was different because you’re not going out of your way to bother your classmate, just whenever you bumped into them…such a distinction won’t mean much to them and your teacher’s still going to end up calling your parents because of your behavior.

I just go about my day and the few times I find them i find it funny and bother them a little.

Oh; like an elementary-school bully. Cool.

If you’d like the same functionality but using pride flags to color in the distro logo, check out hyfetch.

I too trashed the malt balls.

Both verbally and literally.

Welcome back, Rush Limbaugh.

How you doing, r4venw? Any luck, yet?

I was convinced, until the end of the game, there had to be some way to bring her back.

Unc’s a term that’s been in use since at least the 90s (but maybe older; I’m not a historian nor was alive then); it can sometimes be used disparagingly though, generally, it’s usually a sort of familiar way to refer to someone that’s older. Kind of similar in the way “cuz” doesn’t literally refer to someone who’s your cousin but someone you’re familiar with, who’s like family in the same way a cousin might be (you didn’t grow up with them, didn’t see them all the time, but you’re familiar with them).

So it’s not hard to see how this new definition came about but it is, still, sort of just plucking the word and modifying it to a very different context (the disparaging form was definitely not the predominant form and there was a degree of fondness or respect for your elders in the term which this new usage completely eradicates through patronizing that I can’t help but notice is more community-destructing than community-building). While this is a phenomenon that is far from new, it’s felt particularly manufactured in the last decade and a half or so (probably due to the ease with which things can become viral in our current Hellscape-form of Internet); a lot of the “slang” that’s hit mainstream awareness has felt almost more like buzzwords than actual slang or even natural language in the way it’s been used. That’s not directly relevant to your question but just something I’ve been thinking about.

Also, thanks for asking, rather than downvoting; it’s (obviously) not everyone but there’s a non-negligible segment of Lemmy that just seems to have an emotional tantrum every time race comes up.

Notably, – yet again – it’s also cribbing/misusing black slang/terminology; disappointing…

That’s…fucking crazy but really cool. That’s such a great story to go along with the tattoo.

Only incidental to your overall comment but that’s a great tattoo.

This is the thing that had Balmer so disgusted with us in the 2000s…~

Heh, fair enough.

What was the assignment?
