Me, a true musician, they’re all just sound sticks you hit. Unlike rain sticks (sound sticks you flip) and drum sticks (sound sticks to hit with)

Mutually Assured Destruction really does take nukes out-of-play, don’t it? Even the threat stretches credulity

Don’t be ridiculous. Some of them just see additional free time of the masses as bad for the health of their gold hoards. When people aren’t working all the time, they have enough time to think about your gold hoard. /s

Oligarchy

Thank goodness we voted for change regardless of what kind of change. Definitely improved the country /s

It spits in the eye of the global supply chain. The whole point of that experiment is to effectively separate labor from the means of production allow each country the ability to produce what they’re best at, allowing for a cooperative/ competitive world.

By shattering the illusion of safely, Israel threatens all of the global neoliberalism power structure. Nothing is scarier for the powers that be.

It’s clearly z(x,y) = boobs

Tangent, but you don’t need to include the question mark or anything after in most urls. Definitely not YouTube links. It’s just YouTube telling itself who shared the info (you) and they use that to track shit. But the link works just as well without it, and you’re not voluntary spying on yourself.

Thanks for clarifying!

I’m not certain what you mean here. Can you explain who’s doing a good job and what job they’re doing?

Putting humans in an extremely low atmosphere environment… underground. I let you think of the really bad accidents that could occur from that. I’ll start you off with, what if there’s a fire? What if there’s a leak? Or an earthquake?

It’s got all the terror of space, but you’ve also got thousands of pounds of earth overhead. Makes Oceangate’s Titan sub seem downright safe by comparison.

Thanks! Apparently I got banned for being a crypto bot. No idea why, I fucking hate crypto and would never shill any of that useless nonsense.

Random, but related, question. How do you pull up these lists? I’ve been banned from a community, but have no idea why

You had a boss worthy of trust. If only they all were.

Pieces of shit

Yeah, but the person is speaking to you using their vocabulary that they use day-to-day. Sure, they could pick whatever other words they want to, but doing so would fall outside of their usual vocabulary and, therefore, takes more effort than just “replace the part of this word I normally use that’s blocked by censor”. You can tie yourself into knots trying to avoid censored words and also this new requirement of only using a word by using that word.

The point, as I see it, of “don’t use the word if you’re not going to use the word” is “don’t inconvenience me with your language, inconvenience yourself in order to not inconvenience me.” Sounds like a path to everyone second guessing everything they say in order to accommodate whatever desire other people wish to interject on your choice of words. Which, doesn’t sound very live más to me. Very un-taco bell of you (I have no idea what happened in that last part of my statement)

Edit: easiest way to say it: you clearly knew what word they meant so why are you making a stink about it not matching exactly to that word?

I mean, I understand what you’re saying and it is true here on lemmy, but it is absolutely not the case that you don’t have to self-censor on the internet. I mean, you can choose to not to, but some systems will just never show your contribution to the conversation to anyone (ex. tiktok, Facebook, YouTube, etc). So people practice self-censorship to engage with those platforms and then it becomes a part of their online vocabulary.

So, you don’t need to self-censor here on lemmy, but you also shouldn’t give anyone flak for doing so.

Umm, ffs, if I used that right.

Counterpoint, autocorrect

Yes! Exactly! You had the next thought that I did.
