You seem unaware at how, while French is steered by a committee of linguists, English is steered by a mob of autofellatic influencerati fame-whores, all looking for differentiation and trends to manufacture. So fetch.

4·5 days agoA notebook in broken English and piglatin, generally written in a dethek-derived cursive, that when translated ends up as a record of what Linux geekery I’ve been up to and some complaints about spelling, rfc2142, SLSA or iso27002.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is your favorite TV show of all time?English
3·7 days agoI was gonna say Firefly. “Objects in Space” is amazing.
But it’s Ted Lasso, since at least once in every episode it gives me some happy or sad feels and I think we all need to feel the feels.
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
You know, there’s some validity in that. College was hard as fuck; and half the stress was the jobs to keep living and going to class, but 3 jobs makes for little study and sleep. It’s a race to the bottom where you may get a degree, or may die of malnourishment.
Ha!
- school
- army
- college habit and bankruptcy before degree
- poor but working from contact in college
- work work work work work work <- i am here
But hey. (Find something to) love (in) what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life.

2·13 days agoI’m a senior xyz in one job and “the guy who’s been here 24 years” in the side gig. Half my job is asking “is that the best way to do that when it’s gonna also do this?” if I know it’s sub-optimal.

A friend of mine fell into escort work when times were tough. Then she got out. At no time did she knife anyone.

9·17 days agoit’s job.
It’s not Job; it’s Odysseus.
Is that where spelling goes to die? People were ‘maxing’ their caffeine decades before whatever vapid influencerati re-coined the badly-written version. I still am not sure it was spelled wrong knowingly.

Dude, I feel for ya. I got a minor injury in work camp and it was hell; your situation is indescribably worse.
But I’m struggling with all the clear maga talking points going on here - the racism, more racism, the bootstraps comments, the acceptance of the class warfare, and the blaming it all on Biden. It doesn’t trouble me because it’s all maga stuff; it troubles me because it’s unfounded hate and transferrence. Like, this is the day maga people voted for, man, and instead of voting in a pro-people anti-crime DA already a threat to the rich guys maga got or nullified the votes to put the exact opposite guy into power.
If ya hate right-to-verk[sic] states, if you like Obamacare done fully, if you want actual support for workers and vets and non-rich people, the choice was clear; but maga wanted something else and got this.
I respect you for your service and your obvious experience. I hate maga for the damage they’ve caused to you and other normal people just working and living. If there is no help for you, then there’s not much to be done right now. This is a problem that started 40 years ago, and hamstring democrats can’t fix what unfettered conservatives do time and time again. I don’t blame you if you supported the maga grifters, as so many people did over so many terms before under different names. I blame them for making you think you’d get anything from them and nothing from the historically pro-people governments.
This is all as per their plan; even the blaming of refugees.
