  Inflame was the original word for ‘to ignite’ (or flare up). But given English uses the un- and in- prefixes and modifiers, ‘flammable’ has been deemed less confusing, especially if English is not your native language

  My cpuntry doesn’t have Craigslist, the ‘eBay’ alternative that used to be mainstream has become a dropseller’s market. Marketplace is the only secondhand market platform here, basically. Warts and all. Though some people will create Facebook groups to buy and trade in, for some reason.

  OK people really do backflips to justify why their version of gender/sexuality is the best one so I can see why the top person exists.

  But the bottom one HAS to be satire, right? “Reproductive sex is forcefem” cannot be a real viewpoint. They’re mocking the top person, by baiting them into abstaining from sex outright.

  Right…? I hate that I’m not sure anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I remember thr same thing. Everything else was suppose to be a package update.

  But back-end technology and usage expectations change, and there’s a limit to what front-end changes an existing user tolerates. That was never a promise they could keep.

  It has lasted a really long time, though. I don’t decry 11 existing. I’m upset they’re sunsetting 10 without giving us a chance to wait for 11 to get better, let alone for ‘oops we fixed the fuckups’ W12.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, will probably avoid 11 as long as I can though. I have an Mvidia card (drivers are notoriously troublesome on Linux). And I need professional design software for work (as it industry standard: Adobe or Affinity).

  But I put 11 on my laptop to try it and I hate it. So many terrible UI changes, UX noticeably worse. Like they changed stuff just to say they changed stuff.

  I considered going Linux for personal use and development, and then using another machine or dual boot for Mac for design software. But i learned about the Nvidia issues after I upgraded my card :/

  That’s what he said, too.

  God doesn’t make mistakes 😇🙏 that’s why butt stuff 🍑🤛💦 feels so good 🥴😩💯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pee was stored in the balls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it feels like a weird way to say that humans still have vestigial signs of a cloaca. It’s understood that evolutionary ancestors did, so humans’ ancestors would need to have separated the functions during their evolution… I guess the news is that there is still genetic evidence even today.

  Alternatively, creationists can take this as a sign a creator considers butt stuff to be natural sex also 👍

  This feels like somebody tried to recreate and taxidermy a dog after somebody swapped the skull for a crocodiles.

  Neat.

  Yes, starting getting this with ublock Lite.

  I’ve noticed if you click the button to "make an exception’, and refresh the page, you can watch the video anyway. But it’s possible that their server can record you doing that several times and might eventually suspend you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lilo & Stitch | Official Trailer | In Theaters May 23⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My expectations werent high but given these remakes are often 1:1 to originals, I was looking forward to at least seeing Jumbaa. And then they made Jumbaa and Pleakley just regular humans. Boriiiing.

  Downside with live action I guess; in the cartoon the disguises are paper-thin but their human clothing is sufficient. Live action uncanny value takes that away from us; they can’t even pull it off with Stitch (really highlights “blue koala with bin-lid mouth”).

  So are we not getting scenes where Jumbaa is so large, heavy, and strong that he causes damage or gets stuck? Where rubbery flexible Pleakley responds to physics or his wibdmilling arms when he panics? Jumbaa and Pleakley are never going to fight over sharing a wig (anf well never see it perched delicately on Jumbaa’s head) because they’ll simply never use one.

  Ruins the fun when you take aliens put of the movie about aliens imo.
