Yeah. “Nitch” didn’t show up until 1917 and got added to the Webster dictionary in 1961.

As an American if someone said “nitch” out loud I would secretly die inside and then do my best to remember this:
- Comment on I just want to play a game... 2 days ago:
Steam shouldn’t allow this kind of crap, much less have software support for it.
- Comment on Lemmy and PieFed users in 50 years 3 days ago:
Most lemmy users will be long gone in 50 years

Every time I eat onions, it takes about 3 minutes until it feels like someone is repeatedly stabbing me in the guts with a rusty knife
- Comment on Finally, Common Ground... 1 week ago:
I wish people would stop disparaging others just because they happen to live in a particular country.
Guess what, a single person can’t control everything their country does. Get over it.
- Comment on What are your gaming highlights of 2025? 1 week ago:
roms aren’t really a piracy vector, though. The worst they can really do is try to trick people into downloading and executing something that isn’t a rom

you’ve nearly described autism
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 1 week ago:
They’d already failed the experiment before the ink dried: 34 out of 47 founders owned slaves. I guess the natives weren’t too equal, either. Oops!
- Comment on Anon lives on a budget 1 week ago:
“American experiment” I hate that phrase. It’s just an arbitrary area on the ground that we happened to be born inside. It’s not a fucking experiment; it’s five corporations in a trench coat pretending to be a country.
- Comment on Whatever happened to the days when shit just...worked? 1 week ago:
to all the people saying it never worked: there was a period from about 2006-2016 when it worked a helluva lot better than sooner or later than that.
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 week ago:
I don’t. All the anti-intellectual technophobia we’re seeing right now will be a small footnote in history.
- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 2 weeks ago:
I always pick 1 when asked to try to balance it out.
- Comment on It will be great, they said... 2 weeks ago:
Give it up, dude. The models that just recently came out are so good you are kidding yourself if you think you can tell them apart from photographs.
- Comment on Is this real life? 2 weeks ago:
Yup, it’s not on snopes, despite them having 6 pages full of Kirk-related articles.

I would be extremely surprised if you couldn’t find a workaround with AHK
- Comment on Hey look, a giant sign telling you to find a different job 2 weeks ago:
We are a million-dollar company. Let’s act like one.
Okay so that means you’ll schedule several people to be on-call, right?
- Comment on How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number 2 weeks ago:
When I was younger, I would just sleep in my regular clothes. Usually jeans.
- Comment on How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number 2 weeks ago:
The way I see it (at least for the men):
2 is boxers. 3 is boxer-briefs. 4 is briefs.
- Comment on This, a pen, and coffee 2 weeks ago:
That looks so much better than I remember.
Maybe I’m just tired of modern, overly-processed graphics. There’s a certain clarity to this era of graphics that’s hard to pinpoint.
- Comment on ELI5 why I logically understand McDonald's food is low quality and bad for me but I crave it like crack? 2 weeks ago:
You haven’t aged enough to where it feels like you have a rat trying to chew through your colon from the inside out when you eat it. That will cure you of the addiction right quick.

I hope this will eventually people to write non-shitty software again.

he’s probably butthurt because it doesn’t align with his politics
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 3 weeks ago:
Leave it to an engineer to think that this meme is literally claiming there’s a hell.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 4 weeks ago:
For real. Especially if there are settings that permanently and drastically alter the game that you select when you start.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 4 weeks ago:
For games that have any kind of unlocks, for the love of god, add a way to start a fresh save. Or better, allow multiple saves/profiles. It’s 2025. Why are we still struggling with this? I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had to search online for where save files are located and do it myself.

How unobservant do you have to be to see that people are talking past each other on this subject?
- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 4 weeks ago:
i definitely believe you
- Comment on The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this. 4 weeks ago:
People aren’t good at describing their own thoughts.
