Thanks for clarifying!

I’m not certain what you mean here. Can you explain who’s doing a good job and what job they’re doing?

Yeah, but the person is speaking to you using their vocabulary that they use day-to-day. Sure, they could pick whatever other words they want to, but doing so would fall outside of their usual vocabulary and, therefore, takes more effort than just “replace the part of this word I normally use that’s blocked by censor”. You can tie yourself into knots trying to avoid censored words and also this new requirement of only using a word by using that word.

The point, as I see it, of “don’t use the word if you’re not going to use the word” is “don’t inconvenience me with your language, inconvenience yourself in order to not inconvenience me.” Sounds like a path to everyone second guessing everything they say in order to accommodate whatever desire other people wish to interject on your choice of words. Which, doesn’t sound very live más to me. Very un-taco bell of you (I have no idea what happened in that last part of my statement)

Edit: easiest way to say it: you clearly knew what word they meant so why are you making a stink about it not matching exactly to that word?

I mean, I understand what you’re saying and it is true here on lemmy, but it is absolutely not the case that you don’t have to self-censor on the internet. I mean, you can choose to not to, but some systems will just never show your contribution to the conversation to anyone (ex. tiktok, Facebook, YouTube, etc). So people practice self-censorship to engage with those platforms and then it becomes a part of their online vocabulary.

So, you don’t need to self-censor here on lemmy, but you also shouldn’t give anyone flak for doing so.

Umm, ffs, if I used that right.

Counterpoint, autocorrect

UK has just been importing American politics whole cloth, makes sense that it appeared so fast over there.

Exactly. Good weird people embrace being weird. Bad weird people think they’re normal and everyone else is insane, they will get very annoyed by being called weird. That’s why it’s a good litmus test.

For you to not live in a world where you’re being inundated by all of the collective human stressors every day?

No, CAPTCHAs these days track mouse movements and other factors. They make you second guess if something should be included because, as a human, that’s going to be something you do. And it’ll be obvious from both that hesitation and your squishy, inaccurate mouse movements that you’re a human.

(They don’t help anyone, they enforce the law. Which is just a set of rules that the powerful enforce on the masses via the threat of violence)

I… don’t think that’s the case. Last year was the year of labor wins across the board. Like, I don’t understand how to parse what has happened in the world since with this statement. Media, especially corporate owned media, is always going to be somewhat antilabor. One bad interview from one person did not impact labor’s perception in any meaningful way.

In this case, they’re using that for the city Los Angeles, not the state Louisiana.

If your comment was a joke, ignore me

Well, I mean, they probably can, but team sports, ya know. We all do it, make bad things about the “other” and good things about “us”. Just, not realizing that the people you stand with can do “bad”, cause all humans are capable of doing “bad”.

You have no idea how many people don’t understand that. Even if you tell them, they don’t get it.

(“You have no idea” is used as an intensifier here. I don’t know what you know. I’m neurodivergent and feel the need to clarify)

Nah, pipe is better cause it’s shorter. Vertical Bar takes too damn long, no one got the time for that.

When the AMOC collapses, the UK and all of Europe will freeze harder than they ever have before. Wanker

It was the most comfortable plane flight in my life. It wasn’t super comfortable, the sleeper pod things are made for smaller people obviously, but there wasn’t pain and there were positions I could move through if one got a little too uncomfy. It was so nice compared to every other flight in my life.

No, it’s expensive but not “private plane” expensive. I rode first-class international once because I was recovering from covid and didn’t want to deal with the pain of coach (and the travel company that was responsible for my getting covid was paying some of the bill). I’m also 6’4" and don’t physically fit in coach. So like, yeah, I’m being physically forced out of coach cause it’s too small and I have to pay out the ass to just exist on a plane without physical pain. Must mean I have my own jet, and not that I’m getting fucked.
