  Thermionic valves. Never used them personally but I know what they are

  The same could be said about all the technologies that artists celebrated that put technicians out of a job.

  Unfortunately you can’t wear hats or armour in parliament

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Second: Nouns can function as adjectives: race horse, history teacher, ticket office

  I believe those are technically attributives, not adjectives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are expressions like "women artists" or "women writers" used?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I always think the best solution is to start using feminine nouns more, like writress.

  Can’t wait to see how much they charge for tickets to an event about “inclusivity”

  That’s a Wiley Coyote.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally part of the dsm5 criteria is “symptoms cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning”, which is just a pretentious way of saying it “hinders average behaviour”.

  I say that as another autist.

  Yes, I was told it was to standardise the number of days between payments.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When do we riot?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Historically speaking, the riots start when the bread runs out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your thoughts on anti-populism and those that say populism is fascism?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “anti populism” just sounds like technocratic dictatorship with extra steps.

  Doing what is popular (for better or worse) is supposed to be the whole point of democracy.

  The fact that the bourgeoisie use false populism to pretend to do what people want, while only doing the bits that benefit them, doesn’t negate that.

  The issue is that left populists tend to get assassinated, either literally, like Huey Long, or figuratively, like Jeremy Corbyn.

  Then they invented quarternions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No worries, companies of 3d printers will find out how to scam their customers soon too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My guess is at some point they will start shaking down filament manufacturers for licence fees to be included, then a few years later lock it down to only licenced filaments.

  Why would you even use a repost bot on Lemmy? It doesn’t even track points?

  The police and most three letter agencies, when you understand their purpose is to protect the wealthy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What paper feels the best when you drag your fingers across it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  100% cotton laid paper, preferably with a full deckle edge. The “laid” part is important, the wire mesh from the mould leaves a texture (like a watermark) you don’t get with modern “wove” paper.

  There’s also quite a lot of handmade rag paper out there, most of which is nice. Just be careful of the ones with embedded flowers and stuff if you’re using a laser printer, they can come out and stick to the rollers. (Also much of this is terrible to write on with a fountain pen, as it’s not sized to stop the ink bleeding.)
