  • Your instance (if it's anything like lemmy.blahaj.zone) likely turned off downvotes which (I'd guess) is why you don't see a button for it.

  • When someone proposes, implements or enforces a clearly sensible rule, and someone else brings weird corner case scenarios up, always ask yourself if there’s a conflict of interests.

    I can't tell if I started doing this more as disinformation became more prevalent over the recent years or it's something I've always done; I don't know where I would've picked it up from.

    Nevertheless, you're spot on; it's an incredibly good rule-of-thumb.

    (I just realized it might've been funny if I'd responded to this with a weird, corner-case scenario, instead; but it's late and I can't think of a good one for it)

  • The one I absolutely loathe (maybe because I run into it more often) is them stealing when I press Ctrl+f to focus their page's search textbox.

  • Does anyone else feel irritated when deeply religious people connect everything with god?

  • Beyond being an obviously shitty (and annoying) thing to do, he's not even right about his own theology; it's been the position of the Catholic church for, at least, a century now that not only believers are saved.

    So just Ls, all around, for that guy.

  • You might want to put them under a spoiler for anyone who's squicked out by bugs but that's so cool; 'never thought about keeping them. Thanks for uploading those.

  • how they generally generalize

  • There is real blowback to marginalized people with these shorthands, though: https://www.tumblr.com/luckyladylily/752119106260615168/so-a-few-months-ago-there-was-the-discourse-about.

    In a similar manner, it's long been a consideration within black communities the ways that black men get targeted in ways unique – though particular – from black women, for being both black and male, and how purportedly generalized anxieties about men will often get triggered with frequency towards black men and then lean on racism to ensure some sort of consequence is enacted to quell that anxiety.

  • Good thing, too; it'd be pretty hard to ride the carpet, otherwise.

  • You're thinking of Ensign Melora Pazlar; her home planet's gravity was less strong than what most humanoids are used to so she needed the chair. She was outfitted in a regular wheelchair because the Cardassians (as you might imagine) don't care much about disability so the station had no way to be outfitted for use with an anti-grav. chair.

  • (granted, you did mention that you could shoehorn this but) I don't think a fragment of any sentence needs to have the sentence make sense if you remove the fragment; we jam fragments that are required to understand a sentence into all sorts of locations of sentences, all the time.

    The honest answer is that we don't really have any hard rules about comma usage (as you point out, the sentence would work just as well without any commas), broadly, so people kind of just go vibes-based, most of the time.

    I feel like "did so with poor grammar" very obviously doesn't feel like a tack on to a sentence (like, starting with a verb wouldn't make sense) so I'm inclined to disagree but I'm anal about comma placement so maybe the average person would.

  • What I've noticed is that most poor comma placement is because people forgot the leading one; "I like how someone , who is making fun of another’s literacy, did so with poor grammar."

    It's astoundingly common, including (especially) amongst publications.

  • Oh, absolutely (I'm a copyleft absolutist so I'm convinced, from the get-go).

    But I'd also, just as much, like to avoid the n-word.
