- Comment on Why are there so many german communities on Lemmy? 2 days ago:
Knowing other languages isn’t a problem for me. The difficulty is finding stuff I like online in other languages. I am mainly a YouTube person, and I have the ones I like. Most are in English, though. I’ve tried expanding to other languages, but to find stuff I like (and can comprehend) is not easy. A subset of a subset.
- Comment on Why are there so many german communities on Lemmy? 2 days ago:
some Germans tend to find the Americocentrism on Reddit, but also to a lesser degree, on Lemmy, boring and at times nerve wrecking.
Based. I concur and approve. Wish I could do the same and steer away from it all. Not easy, though :(
- Comment on What is this shit? I have to be signed in to watch any video now? 5 days ago:
I have seen some of that, from within FreeTube. Some blocked ones were close to nudity (nude photography photoshoot BTS), others I’m not so sure why. Maybe it’s the word “Fuck” that shows up on the title.

Zucc hates this one simple trick: switch to Signal and quit WhatsApp. I ain’t done so, but if I did, I sure would have way less messages. Not by a lot, given I barely maintain regular chats in WhatsApp. But the chances would be slimmer, given barely anyone’s on Signal

Luxury?! Have you ever had that happen at a movie theater? You just start sucking down on the limited coke that needs to last the whole movie, just to try and get that out. And all you wanted was to enjoy the movie in peace.
Though I will concede. Had some popcorm stuck between teeth during a movie. No fun. Not a kernel, though, and eventually either it was gone somehow, or I got used to it

Ayo, never seen no one express opinions like these, like mine, out in the wild! They do call themselves America, despite being only part of the continent. And their uncreative name. Big brain move they had there. Like a Monty Python sketch. I could see it to the tune of the witch scene
“What are countries made of?” “Land?” “People.” “…Cows.” “A church.” … “States!” “That’s right! And where are these states?”
I like to call them 'Muricans sometimes, to differentiate 'Murica (US) and the real America, the much bigger and, thanks to other countries, generally better one.

The thing about the initialism I find weird is there’s plenty of variation, and people can almost sorta pick and choose, build their own initialism. Sure, some are used more than others, but no apparent standard per se. So which ones get included in the initialism, vs. which ones are hidden behind the + or behind the Q, or perhaps neither the + or the Q gets used. Kinda like the flag. You have the classic, popular one. The colours have their meaning, but not specific to certain “letters” (groups of people). But then you have some with black and brown, for people of colour. Some add trans colours. Some have that purple with ring thing I can’t remember if it’s non-binary or what. Nothing against these variations, though I wonder the need, when the originals were not specific or exclusive. The original colours weren’t about identity, far as I know. Now they make updates with identity-based meaning. If I am someone with less knowledge or something, and I’m gonna make use of an initialism or flag, which one would I choose? Would I just say LGBT and use the traditional six-colour flag? Would that be exclusive? Do I add the QIA+? Do I need black, brown, pink, blue on the flag? Shit, I didn’t add the Pi symbol. Is that a flag variant? Sure seen a flag with Pi on it

Interesting that Q essntially fills up for every other character in the initialism, incluing the + which essenially acts as an etc. to said initialism. One can pretty much choose and pick which letters to use when crafting their usage of an initialism, and which letters to hide in the +. One could call it the LBT+ community, or the L+, or T+. Or B+. Or just call it + for maximum efficiency. Or you could just call it the Q community, as Q encompasses everything else. What some otherwise call the Queer community

Idk, I feel like they just spin one way a few times. I reckon they also tend to make pigeon sounds in such state. Not sure about being pissed. I think they just horny. They wanna fuck (or jump atop the other pigeon, it seems). I am no pigeon expert, though. Just things I’ve noticed
- Comment on RIP Thomas 4 weeks ago:
I’ve noticed pigeons in recent times. You sometimes see one mofo chasing another, and the other keeps running away like it being chased by some creep. Then, once the second one stops and the original gets near them, the original mofo starts spinning in place, tryina rizz 'em up. Usually leads nowhere, though I once spotted a successful pigeon. Said pigeon then jumped atop the other pigeon. A blink-and-you’ll-miss thing, so quick before they left. It’s something I now notice quite often, having noticed this interesting pattern.

- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 7 months ago:
Well, tbh I do be sometimes annoyed at how prevalent Murican culture is. Especially when you consume content on this lingua franca of sorts. But also, I mentioned Interlingua, which afaik is based on and easier for those speaking many Latin-based languages such as Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, plus something about English, German, Russian. Which would perhaps benefit many (though not all) equally
- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 7 months ago:
If there’s ever a universal language, why should it be English? Why not Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese? Those are also language spoken by many people. Is it because many (though not all) Americans can’t be bothered to learn about other languages and cultures? If anything, it should be a conlang, such that it benefits no one. Or at least no one is currently raised on it. I for one would vote Interlingua, seeing as it is supposedly easier for and based off European languages like Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, but also English, German, and Russian (or so I hear)
- Comment on Plans for the weekend 7 months ago:
Yeah, I reckon so. But the movie tells a story, and the book I reckon doesn’t (though I have not read it). So they’ve built upon the book, if my “deduction” (based on the book description) is correct. 'Tis a great movie!
