Well keep getting dumber until only the elites can afford education.

I’ve personally never been banned on reddit, but been banned 2 or 3 times on Lemmy for being too argumentative.

That’s very important context for this question
- Comment on Why do Americanized names of places etc exist? 3 days ago:
Languages don’t have to do it. Languages are organic and evolve constantly. A language is not a set of rules, it’s what people speak. The books just try to formalize it. But each language has limited set of sounds, so older names of places often used only those sounds because people literally couldn’t pronounce other sounds. Or when the name is something totally different, it’s usually very old names for things, ans they often get changed! (recent examples are Turkiye and Kiwiv). You also can’t force people to use certain words, it either comes naturally or falls out of use.

They care more about toilet design than literal toilet architects. It’s almost funny.

If you hate yourself and your mental health, do peruse the comment section of this article. It’s really good for losing faith in humanity.

If you’re lucky enough to be middle class you might get easy access to soap and olive oil

Well that’s a risky gamble…

Depends on the job tbh. I couldn’t care less about a software developer with face tattoos even if I think less of their life choices.
- Comment on For all you inked people 2 weeks ago:
Make up not being permanent is a big reason why it’s perfectly OK to use it even if you look like a clown. I’m a dude and occasionally use make up at certain parties.
You seem to agree with me that face tattoos are a terrible idea, but you empathise with their idiot younger selves. I get it, and probably IRL I would not be so merciless. But I prefer that my kids know that face tattoos are a terrible idea even if some people will show them some sympathy.
- Comment on For all you inked people 2 weeks ago:
OK, fine. I will take face tattoos on a case by case basis but they’re walking on thin ice.
- Comment on For all you inked people 2 weeks ago:
I’m general I agree, but I draw the line at face tattoos. If you have face tattoos I assume you are dumb as sticks.

OK, we can compromise and keep your index finger and thumb nail. But they grow at 1/10 the speed.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 4 weeks ago:
Nails. I think we could go without nails. Specially toe nails. Finger nails could be an optional add on.

Parking garages should really start imposing width limits the same way they do height limits.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview 4 weeks ago:
The dumb take is that this is a bad idea because you might damage the card. That’s silly because that’s just the trade off of portability.

Yes, and did you read wha ti said?.. I agree with what you just said.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Game-Key Card Overview 4 weeks ago:
That’s a really dumb take. That’s just the downside of physical media.
The real problem of this is just the same as the digital games. Once the Nintendo switch store inevitably goes offline like the Wii and 3DS, your key card becomes useless e-waste no matter how good you care for it.

It’s the visual spacing between letters, which usually involves some letters that have curves or corners to actually not strictly follow the spacing. For example the legs of the letter A might stick out a tiny bit in certain fonts. This gives text a more visually balanced kerning.
