That’s good

I don’t think it’s just federation, I believe for posts to appear in your instance’s All feed then at least someone on that instance needs to be subscribed to the associated community

Pink Floyd would have been completely different without him though

He’s one of those guys who hates America so much that he starts to think anyone who goes up against them must be the good guy (I’m sure nobody on Lemmy could possibly imagine such a situation!), missing the point that lots of people/countries/organisations can all be bad.

He’s a complete edgelord and always has been, but that has always been a recipe for great art!

Depends which instance you’re on!

I think to be a shill you have to be getting paid or otherwise compensated for it. If you truly believe it and nobody is sweetening the deal then you’re just an enthusiast!

mostly British

No, mostly not British. Only proper cockney geezer really.

“The car wants washing” is fine, thankfully I’ve never heard anyone north or south say “The car wants washed”, which was OP’s concern

I’d say the suppression of ain’t is perfectly rational unless you want to sound like a cowboy

I’ve seen this posted a few times but I could never find a source. I think this is just what people want to believe!

Fair point, I read OP’s comment as saying everyone in this shop is buying the ludicrously expensive models, re-reading it’s not clear if that’s what they actually meant

Luxury computing devices are the same as basic cooking tools, you’re right!

If the poor families are buying $1000 iPads then I don’t think they’re that poor

Lord of the Rings OST by Howard Shore

Then what the fuck are you doing here? You seem to be obsessed with the guy, are you mad that we don’t care about him as much as you or what?

I misread OP’s comment and thought they weren’t being quite so snarky

I’ve not needed to do it on Lemmy, he’s only mentioned in American politics communities, none of which I follow. You are seeing him everywhere because you are choosing to look in the places where people give a shit about him. Do you actually want solutions or do you just want to keep moaning?

Back on Reddit I think the only word I ever blocked was “Trump”, filtered out a lot of stuff I didn’t give a shit about seeing

Everywhere you look maybe

That is kind of accurate though if you’re basing the story on history. Like if it’s Robin Hood or King Arthur then the nobles will sound posh and the peasants won’t.

Less of an excuse for it in high fantasy; I guess it’s a quick way to telegraph to the audience who’s who, but you’re definitely right that it reinforces traditional class stereotypes.
