I never really forgave them for the original ManBearPig climat change denialism.
If you like international and eclectic news, come and join me at @worldwithoutus (Link for Lemmy = worldwithoutus).
I’ve also started helping out at @worldnews, (Link for Lemmy = worldnews), @movies, (Lemmy = movies), and am a ghost at @13thfloor (Lemmy = 13th Floor).

I can’t see the whole comment.
Besides which it’s a qualitative judgment so unless they did a full on Content Analysis grid on your ass, I’d probably not know what they meant, unless you were doing something really obvious like calling the Chinese “inscrutible”.
I still kind of enjoy the novelty of seeing mods censor people for this arcane stuff. I wouldn’t want to be on that instance but I quite like visiting it.
Orientalism is this stuff.
Idk I personally enjoy seeing terms I learned in grad school being thrown around in a mod log.
Paradigm shifts keep the brain nimble.
And fuck off whoever that tells me again to set up my own instance. What I want is popular instance admins and mods to
Seriously though you’re making demands that other people work for free in a manner that will benefit you.
Way I see it, either take some of the free lunch that’s on offer or make your own.
He honestly sounds more creepy not less creepy after that part.
This article’s compatible with that. The tldr is as usual brother laser, any model.
I too am outraged by the outrage.
@FuglyDuck Definitely. Or even just to make that yes conditional on the client paying their earlier invoice first.
I learned that the hard way myself.
@FuglyDuck that’s a tactic described in the 19th century novel Vanity Fair for evading payment. If your dressmaker sends you a bill then immediately order more dresses.
@PositiveNoise idk, seems to me the big countries suffer from too much legislative capture for that.
I live in a country where I do my taxes for free with one click and we don’t use paypal because we can all make free bank- to- bank deposits that clear in less than an hour.
And the reason the US doesn’t have these basic things I’ve had for a decade is because of lobbying from Turbotax and the like.
Yeah the fact they’re deliberately targeting individual investors instead of institutional investors kind of underscores that this is a cashout.
@Lath the way to remember is the phrase “jealous husband”.
Obviously he doesn’t just want to have a wife (he’s already a husband), he specifically wants his own wife to be talking with him not some other guy.
@TheEntity some are, like the Prepositions rule, which was invented in the 19th century by some idiots who wished English was more like Latin.
Some are just people making observations about what everyone habitually already does, like Adjectival Order (e.g big brown dog not brown big dog).
Native speakers never have to be taught that rule because it just “feels right” since it’s how our societies talk.
Honestly you have to be able to switch caring about that stuff off, when you want to, otherwise knowing any of these rules is more a curse than a blessing.
@cdf12345 if you really want to infuriate people that should be “I could care fewer.”
Great, if I ever feel like going to a hellscape full of shills and influencers I’ll bear that in mind.
Gaslighting, in the form of a laundry bag.
@Sabin10 it’s the kind of subtle trolling where the troll gets under their victim’s skin but the general population will think the victim is imagining things.
If it had happened like in the 1980s or something it would have been forgiveable but it was like 2006, at that point we all already knew climate change was real.
