I am so glad that nothing I do in life will ever cause this problem to matter to me.
The way I was taught in school, the answer is clearly 1, but I did read the blog post and I understand why that’s actually ambiguous.
Fortunately, I don’t have to care, so will sleep well knowing the answer is 1, and that I’m as correct as anyone else. :-p
“Don’t attribute to malice that which can be sufficiently explained by stupidity.”
This is my only point:
I think claiming it’s a recent thing is a fallacious argument against the hard G.
I just want to point out that Lin-Manuel Miranda has been advocating for peace between the hard and soft G clans for more than a decade.
I’m gonna stop you there, because I’ve been using the format for about 30 years, and people only started using the new pronunciation in the last 10-15.
I’ve been using the word since the mid 90s and it’s always been hard G for me.
I don’t say that to suggest that you or anyone else are wrong to say it with a soft G (although my brain cringes each time I hear it), but since I don’t think I invented the hard G pronunciation I think claiming it’s a recent thing is a fallacious argument against the hard G.
Apologies for the tangent but can anyone tell me what this meme template is from?
I don’t fucking care.
Public shaming is entirely appropriate in circumstances such as this.
Then that’s a more honest response than your earlier one. It’s not that you don’t understand that others may be hurt by your language even though it’s not a word you personally ever used to describe developmental disabilities, it’s just that you don’t give a shit.
Good on you for owning it (on the second try), I guess.
I dont fucking care if your feelings are so fragile that relatively tame words can hurt you
You mean like developmentally disabled people you work with who may have good reasons to be sensitive about certain words? I guess since one of those people said he was cool with it he speaks for all of them. I’m sure none of them have ever been hurt by hateful people using the R word about them.
Nah man, I’m just not down for constantly keeping up to date with the treadmill of what words are and arent appropriate… especially for insults
50+ years old and in my entire life this isn’t something I’ve found to be mentally taxing to keep up with. This is truly the flimsiest excuse I’ve ever seen for using shitty language. Just stick with “I don’t fucking care.”
Nah I mean it literally just showed me
That’s good to know. However, you asked:
Yeah but the real question is, why the hell did you choose
I didn’t choose, as I just showed you. What you saw is what I saw.
It’s not such a bad idea to be in the habit of looking at URLs before you click on them generally, FYI. But in this case it wasn’t really a choice.
Firefox is out for the same reasons Brave is, I guess, due to the same guy.
Not really a hotbutton issue for me, but your entire screed is predicated on ruling out firefox because the guy WAS there previously. AFAICT that’s a bit of a strawman because although he was controversial when he was there, the folks you are railing against for their “purity tests” are not complaining about the influence of that guy on firefox since he’s not there anymore.
The answer to your question is “just ignore these concerns that don’t matter to you and use what you want” - not sure why that’s a reason to be on some kind of soapbox about people who DO care about these things.
No one is going to come check your computer so they can yell at you about whose software you are using. People are just sharing what they see as important info for people to consider. As one does on social media.
Edit: And there’s always ungoogled Chromium, but yes that does drive towards a web where no one checks if anything renders correctly on anything but the Chromium base.
WTF is with that URL. Only this bit seems required.

What israel did was, they gave warnings to civilians whenever they target any building but there’s no perfect system that can precisely hit the target and prevent casualities.
“No Perfect System”

I just realized I may have entirely missed the point of your explanation. Sorry. I’ll leave my other comment for posterity.
Fair. You aren’t missing the pinnacle of cinema either. If you’re going to watch one new (to you) Star Wars movie this year - make it Rogue One if you haven’t seen it. It’s the best Star Wars movie this century IMO. (By a lot.)
Ironically, as an OG fan who really disliked the prequels (you can find my lengthy screed elsewhere in this thread) I thought III was easily the best of those three.
My headcanon is now that Hinckley is a kbin or lemmy user with a time machine.
