  Putting the divider down is also polite. Why are we expected to always be the most polite or suffer cruelty if we don’t comply?

  I always put the divider down behind my stuff, line behind me or no, and expect nothing in return from the people behind me. If the person in front of me can’t be arsed to put the divider down after theirs stuff, it’s fun to see how many of my iitems get scanned before they get to have the awkward conversation with the cashier. Yes I’m normal and well adjusted, why do you ask?

  When I studied German a bit for fun I gave up on trying to memorize the genders and just used “das” for everything. Yeah it’s wildly incorrect but still mostly understandable which is fine for me.

  I’m sure you gave a bunch of songs you don’t mind hearing over and over, so it’s not that different to enjoy your environment even if it’s mostly the same every day.

  I’ve been playing for a few hours every patch to see most of the new content and then left it be for a while. Makes the game a bit harder since there’s enough time between bouts to forget some stuff, but it’s been a casual enough pave t onot really diminish my excitement for launch at all.

  There’s also a 13th century persian poem called The Importance of Gourd Crafting that offers other rather intimate uses for the produce.

  Small pp energy.

  I don’t know what energy this is, but not good either.

  That’s punishing legit players, not the developers. Not playing this shit is the correct spiteful choice.

  But what if I want to swear, but I want to censor the swear word, even superficially (replace a vowel with something else, leaving the swear entirely readable where everyone can easily tell what swear is being used)? This is where I’m seeing a ton of people suddenly not as okay with people doing what they want, and that’s what I was trying to get at with this comment chain. Why are people so upset at people censoring themselves in this way?

  Someone else already has pointed it out under tihs post, but no matter, it bears repeating. The initial need to use these censored forms of swear words rises from corporate censorship, all kinds of web services have been auto moderated to remove a preset list of words, and replacing a single character might get around such a simple limitation. This is understandable, and a good way to stick it to the corporations worried about spoiling their image. (Filter lists like this are also a copout when it comes to bigotry, corporations can cheap out on moderation and pretend no one is calling anyone nasty names when those words are not allowed.)

  People tend to assimilate behavior they see every day, though, so a good chunk of the population has begun to see this kind of censorship dodging as some sort of modest or proper behavior. It never was about not offending our peers, though, so this change in internet etiquette is more succumbing to corporate brainwashing than being considerate. I’m sure there are people who do get upset wrom seeing crass language, but a human will have no trouble being equally offended about someone saying “F*ck cops!” rather than “Fuck cops!”. A stupid cencorship filter might still be fooled, tohugh.

  If you want to swear then swear. If you don’t want to for whatever reason, then use creativity to get your frustration, need of emphasis, or other emotion through. Choosing to censor yourself is just weak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good point⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s more about restraint versus instant gratification. When people have called it’s usually meant to be shared in some kind of party, so if you go ahead and eat the cake alone you miss out on the sharing which could be said to be the cakes original purpose.
