.world-based users will see it as censored.
- Comment on .world censorship? 1 week ago:
I would argue more generally that censoring words like this is unhelpful and counterproductive.
As seen in the link in the post body, not only can it inhibit clear communication, but anyone actually using the slur would be more clearly identified if the slur remained - thus allowing the mods to definitively identify the user as bigoted and banning them. Replacing it with ‘removed’ creates ambiguity in combating bigotry as well as edge cases and discussions of words - as in the linked case.

There are a ton of different year calendars. The BCE/AD calendar is very much a Western/Western-derived thing, stemming from a Catholic Christian estimation. It’s convenient, because it got widespread, but it’s only one system of many.
Many ancient systems judged the date by the regnal year of the ruler, ie “Third year of the rule of Agum the Third”. It’s much less convenient for figuring out when something happened than systems that continuously count from a single starting year, but exact chronologies were less important for most people.

I’ve been seeing this for as long as I’ve been using Lemmy, I assumed it was just some known bug in the code.
- Comment on Electoral politics doesn't get the job done 1 month ago:
Ok, so they do that to everybody, and now the strike can’t end. This helps them how?
-
They won’t have to do it to everyone. Just enough people to make examples and frighten people into going back to work.
-
If they do have to do it to entire workforce-sized populations, we get a cozy GULAG style labor system.
“They can’t arrest all of us” only works if there’s means of resistance other than passive. In liberal democracies, that’s typically protests, elections, and legal avenues; in less charming regimes, it comes down to internal dissent in the security apparatus or outright force from the oppressed. If you lack those means of negotiation, or the credible threat thereof, then they literally can arrest all of you, and will, given half a chance.

So what, they gonna come to my house and make me go to work?
Arrest you and toss you in a cell, more likely.
- Comment on Electoral politics doesn't get the job done 1 month ago:
Electoral politics doesn’t get the job done, but failing to attend to electoral politics can sure as shit make the job harder.
The question of “Who are we negotiating with” is all-important in every scenario except “Complete and total unconditional victory”.

They’re the same fucking word from different time periods on the treadmill of what is politically correct.
Either both are slurs that shouldn’t be used or both are acceptable.
That’s not how language works, and unless you go around calling Black folk ‘colored’, you understand that in other contexts. What words are acceptable and what connotations they have change with time and usage.

non-maga right wing
How many of those are left? Two, three?
I remember before 2016, I had respect for some right-wing folk online who, while far from agreement with me, I regarded as simply legitimately misguided (in a “Free markets because gubmint bad”) kind of way.
It was… eye-opening to see how many of them went mask-off in the Trump years, and how fast and fiercely they did it.

People do weird things to get past auto-censors. Sometimes it feels more like people developing new superstitions for a digital age.

5 years here, a lower-end purchase to begin with. Still works fine. Only a few games I need to lower to True Potato settings to run.

“all of Europe could fit inside the 48 continental states alone” - are you sure about that, fam?
Not far off.
- Comment on Anon's strict mom 2 months ago:
Happened to me twice within the last month. Once because I noted to an adult man that a full-up buss at 14:00 isn’t a karaoke and he shouldn’t be listenint to his phone on full while singing drinking songs with all the kids and parents. He started to yell he’ll kill me on the street and whatnot. I left the best as my stop came up. Went to buy a bevvie He came after me from the bus and stalked me lol.
I see the feral reputation of the Finns is not wholly unearned
I would rather live with wild wolves, no shit.
Kind of sounds like you already do XD
