of whom are in the baby and toddler phase?

It definitely looks to me like they had quintuplets, then one more, before the current pregnancy.

I recommend a sledgehammer.

YOU ESS EHH

FQOT

That title doesn’t seem true. I zoomed in on the text above and took a screenshot, then zoomed in even more on that screenshot and edited in some marker lines:

Maybe some fonts do that, but not the default one used on Lemmy. Nor, I suspect, most common web sans serif fonts.

I’d still take buses over yet more cars. Especially if it’s BRT on its own separated infrastructure.

No, but I’ve seen a few French posts (nowhere near as much as German) and it’s been a good chance to practise my French.

I browse by All with the Hot sort.

I see German posts constantly. I think because they might not be language tagged correctly?

I’m not clear on how this system works, but I would like to know how it’s supposedly better than Google’s Topics. Especially if, as comments elsewhere in the thread suggest, Mozilla’s solution involves potentially exposing your entire browsing history to someone. Topics doesn’t do that, since it’s entirely handled in your own browser and only sends vague categories. (And even fuzzes them by potentially sending a random category you didn’t actually visit.)

If you cannot defend your standards using reason

You cannot reason someone out of a position they did not reason themselves into.

If someone is being intolerant out of ignorance, by all means we should try to politely educate them and help them be better. But there are a lot of bigots out there who will be racist, sexist, or transphobic despite your best efforts.

Nobody else should have to put up with an uncomfortable work environment, social club, or anything else, because we have to make accommodations to be tolerant of bigots.

And nobody said anything about violence. It’s entirely about excluding people from spaces with others who do not want to have to be exposed to that intolerance.

I’ll admit I have not read Popper. But just because he coined the term doesn’t mean his conception of it is the only acceptable one. Others have taken the basic idea and taken it in different directions.

Personally, I subscribe to the belief of the shitty crustpunk bartender.

Specifically, if someone is intolerant of others in a way that rejects who they are (as opposed to rejecting something that they believe—so gender and sexuality are on one side of that line, while religion and political ideology are on the other), especially if they do so in a way that creates the feeling of an unsafe environment, we should feel perfectly fine excluding them from that space.

Yes, you do. It’s called the paradox of intolerance.

Nice try!

Also you have a rather perscriptive understanding of language

Lol wtf are you talking about? No they don’t. Everyone telling them they are wrong is being prescriptive. All they are doing is saying “it’s not wrong to use a word according to an incredibly common definition of that word”. Which is precisely the opposite of prescriptive.

What German word was used there? Are you suggesting gratis is German? Maybe it is, but it’s also English. And we didn’t even borrow it from German. It’s Latin.

Oh right. I saw that comment but thought it must be some joke about the spice, cos I didn’t get the reference, and also didn’t think “thingamabob powered by {COMPANY_NAME}” made any sense. I wouldn’t say my monitor is “powered by LG”. It’s just an LG monitor. @[email protected]’s comment put it together really well, if it’s actually another brand with Cummins internals. Like a laptop might be “powered by Intel”.

I can’t figure out what it’s meant to say. What starts with “cum” and is genuinely used to power a generator?

That basically is exactly how this sort of thing comes about, only spread out over time.

I don’t know what client you’re using, but this displays correctly on lemmy-ui and Jerboa, and it matches the Lemmy markdown syntaxt as documented. I’d suggest requesting your client fix its renderer.

Wait until you learn about Torpenhow Hill.

• Tor, from Old English torr, meaning hill.
• Pen, from Celtic *penn, meaning hill.
• How, from Danish hoh, meaning hill.
• Hill, from English hill, meaning hill.

^{Unfortunately, it’s not actually a real official name for a hill, though it could be…}

Almost every argument for fantasy-type settings where “that character wouldn’t be black/is described as X” but honestly if it doesn’t affect the story

What shits me is that this so often happens with adaptations, and when the adaptation that did this ends up terrible they end up claiming it’s proof they were right all along. As though the inclusion of a minority character is somehow the cause of terrible writing, set/prop/costume design, effects, acting (including from the cishet white actors), and direction. No, it couldn’t possibly be because most adaptations are terrible regardless, it must be tHe gAYs.
