  lemmy users have only about five different ideas in rotation basically. it’s like beans, corn, and some other stuff i couldn’t remember.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  that’s definitely an anomaly, turn back

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one spells "lose" anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun fact, the current pronunciation of “lose” likely comes from people in the past confusing it with “loose”! Quoting the OED:

  The regular modern English pronunciation representing Old English losian would be /ləʊz/; the standard English pronunciation /luːz/ seems to be due to association with LOOSE v., which in some contexts (e.g. to loose hold) closely approaches this verb in meaning.

  Otherwise it would probably be pronounced as /ləʊz/ (similar to nose, pose, close, etc.).

  So people in the past doing the conflation - totally fine, accepted, and normal. Because you learned it from the start. But people now doing the same kind of conflation - unacceptable, illiterate, stupid. Because that’s new and different.

  People are afraid of change, who knew…

  words merging is a thing that happened countless times in English’s history. why make a fuss about this one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No one spells "lose" anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you are right. languages change whether you like it or not.

  but a cup doesn’t have an inside and an outside anyways. nothing is “in” the cup to begin with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You must have an internet connected smartphone to eat⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if you lived in china long term you wouldn’t have these problems because you would have already given up your personal data and privacy to the state. but hey, you’d get some convenience out of it, so not so bad, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨just temporarily embarrassed billionaires, one good idea or lottery ticket from making it rich⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  then let them leave and let them take their money with them. they don’t contribute to the society anyway.

  you are mistaking money for real resources. houses are built with cement, bricks, gravel, plaster, and labour. you cannot build a house with money. billionaire cannot take real resources with them. in fact if they leave they will stop hoarding resources and that will make our lives better, not worse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Count Binface: My Clacton Victory Speech!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Primary schools to be told to identify children at risk of future unemployment⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i feel like you need to untangle two things: work itself, work being exploited for financial gain. there is nothing wrong with work itself, in fact if i cannot work and have to loitering around doing nothing all day, that will destroy me. on the other hand i despise the exploitation of labour for financial gain of the employer. that’s why i think exactly how this evaluation is conducted is very important, and it could identify children who genuinely need help (i.e. not in a becoming “a productive member of the society” kind of way).

  so i’d prefer to wait and see what they come up with, instead of immediately jumping on it without further information.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Primary schools to be told to identify children at risk of future unemployment⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i don’t know, trying the get people help?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Primary schools to be told to identify children at risk of future unemployment⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  seems like a lot of missing information here. like what’s the methodology and what they are gonna do once they identified those at risk.

  but in theory this can be a good thing if this means people are getting help early.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brought to you by RFK Jr.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  they are evil, but they are not illogical. there seem to be a confusion between logic, which is objective, and morality, which is not.

  and i think the mentality of “they are evil, therefore they are not logical, therefore there is no point trying to talk to them” is very unconstructive. because it rules out the possibility of change. if you think they cannot be changed, what else can you do? wait for them to all die, then we’d all be living in paradise? or throw 40% of US citizens in prison?
