None here, had never thought about that. Now I feel lonely.

Was that their expectation of you, or just a common religious interpretation?

I know plenty of people who use the term and have no care for the religious history of it.

Welp. I guess that makes sense. They have a much broader audience and utility than a gaming console. Probably higher margins too.

Insurance companies don’t bill people as adults until 26 because our brains don’t finish developing fully until then and we make poorer choices in a statistically significant way until then.

So while the legal age of adulthood is often late teens to early twenties, the reality is you still probably act young in a way that older people pick up on.

When I was 21 I felt like I was an adult. But I wasn’t even finished growing, and looking back from 40 I was young and dumb and it was obvious to everyone but me.

There are many different accents across the US.

Some of them very much pronounce the word “than” like others pronounce the word “then”.

That’s not really how language… or humans… or culture… work.

This is a common mistake for many native English speakers and highlights the different challenges in speaking a language and writing a language.

In many regions of the US for example, “than” and “then” are often pronounced exactly the same.

than…

I went to kbin.social during the Reddit api exodus, and when that fell apart I had seen enough of lemmy through federated content to know that was where to go.

You are so sure I’m some strawman that you’ve imagined or been conditioned to identify you’re attacking someone who is an ally, and you should reflect on that.

Completely obvious context…

More friendly fire. I did vote against the fascists. And you continuing to laud blame on everyone else instead of introspecting on how you can make “not fascism” a more attractive message only hurts the cause.

You’re doing harm instead of good. That’s the point.

They’re going to keep pissing on others like this and continue to be surprised when their candidates don’t get elected. It will always be someone else’s fault.

I’m pretty excited about that! I loved Warcraft II and never got into any of the warcrafts that came after though, and haven’t had great experiences with Wc2 on modern hardware.

So I’d probably pay for a remaster.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

While he certainly wasn’t sensitive about how he said it, he did state is was sanctions related.

All it takes is reading the article to see why it was done. You clearly did not do that and instead inserted your own agenda.

Man I’m sure there is some culture I could have been raised in that would have resulted in me finding that appealing and all…. But I would probably vomit if I drank any of that.

I once got screwed by my mortgage provider and was helpless. I submitted a complaint to the CFPB and they contacted my mortgage provider and made them make things right. That directly translated to significant money back in my pocket.
