Have you seen the stuff she posts regularly?

Laughs in Australia

Oh hi ace_of_based, I didn’t realize know it was you

World going to shit. Play it out, keyboard cat!

South Koreans saying the blackout saved your life.

Modern day phone etiquette: it is impolite to call someone on non-urgent personal business without arranging it.

How about the motherboard dying before the oven does

Let’s see how the incoming regime goes. Most people seem to view him as a useful idiot and it wouldn’t be difficult for trump to bury him by ripping up contracts or regulating him into obscurity

It’s not that I can’t stay up all night, it’s that I have too much on to waste half a day sleeping

This is so mind numbingly fucking stupid. I have linguistics training and my dickhead uncle tried to pull this one on me. He’s never tried to flex his grammar on me since.

Next time this shit happens to you, try this trick.

In the above question, the word “can” could be interpreted in one of two senses.

• One is the deontic sense, which denotes permission or approval.
• The other is the epistemic sense, which denotes capability.

As a competent English speaker, you will easily infer that vampire is using the deontic “can”.

The confusion seems to derive from the recipient’s inability to understand that modals in English grammar can possess different senses depending on context.

It is worth noting that the deontic “can” has been documented in writings for hundreds of years. It is a normal and standard element of English grammar. Case in point: the idiot trying to flex on you knows what you mean but they’re pretending they don’t.

It’s not my problem that you don’t understand basic English grammar. Maybe you should go read a few books and educate yourself.

I wish that naked TLDs were a thing. Like https://com/ or https://london/

I used to love forums back in the day, but I must say I’ve really gotten over the format of the medium. It promotes email-like long form responses with space used up with avatar images, handles and signature blocks. Nested replies become a nightmare steer several layer’s and you’re cooked on mobile.

Would love a Lemmy-like plugin to parse vBulletin forums. Endless scroll for topics, minimal non-content fluff, easy and quick replies. (The irony of this reply length isn’t lost on me. Most of my replies are short, promise!)

I remember HATING clothes for Christmas. But now it’s all I want (so long as it’s my style). I don’t want random useless shit at Christmas, I want stuff I can use for years and wear out.

One pothole and it’s done for

People using carriage returns as paragraph breaks 😭😭😭

I’d agree with this. When I first started using Excel in school and university, I’d follow the instructions and not really know why I was doing what I was doing.

But then, having to work with Excel at work and make it do new shit, the penny dropped in my head and I understood how spreadsheets worked.

I use spreadsheets for heaps of things now, even if I don’t need to use formulas. Excel has some weird idiosyncrasies but it’s a good product overall. It’s not as bad as Word, which most people use incorrectly.

I’ve started using Tree Style Tabs in Firefox and really like it. Maybe vertical tabs aren’t so bad?

If you have the room, you can often buy these second hand for a bargain from colleges etc. They’re built like tanks and you can wash almost anything inside them. When they do break, laundry operators try to DIY so there are videos everywhere on how to do repairs.

Needs collab features somehow 🥲
