mournfully flipping the counter back to “0” on the “it has been X days since a turbolib said something deeply homophobic” sign

13 downvoters are turned-on and mad about it

quit your planet-destroying job

“couldn’t hurt” is a weird turn of phrase for the suggestion of “lubricate the soles of your shoes” 🙃

everything to the left of monarchism = Marxism, apparently

though I’ll agree with you that the rabid anticommunism on .world will definitely help Redditors feel at home

you’re right to be sarcastic, better sit back and shut up and wait for the free market to fix it /s

wow that sure is an extraordinary claim that a brain parasite has similar negative health effects to vaccines I’m sure extraordinary evidence is right on the way…

and wow promoting that unhinged naming scheme for US/UK English, really another incredible echelon of coloniser-brain

“what […] Americans did to [their] native population” you mean continuing the genocide that the British colonists enthusiastically started?

he became popular by resisting exaggerating and misrepresenting a government mandate restriction on hate speech

fixed that for you

the person he encouraged to kill themself?

São Paolo in Brazil and Grenoble in France completely banned outdoor advertising, various other cities and regions (Amsterdam, Bristol, Vermont) have heavily restricted them. Dare to dream bigger than policies which have already existed for decades 😝

yes because alcohol prohibition and the WaR oN dRuGs worked out so well /s

A female changing room (noun adjunct)

Noun adjunct is a noun functioning as an adjective.

“A male character has no stats difference compared to a female.” (Probably an adjective but arguably not)

“female [character]” definitely an adjective

“female-only” is an adjective phrase where “female” is a noun. Compare “lion-only zoo.” Adjectives don’t work here (× big-only zoo)

Yes “female-only” sounds gross.

the only examples here which don’t sound completely gross are the ones where you misunderstood the part of speech…

exactly this

english is a great language with which to get into a habit of saying “according to,” or “traditionally,” before statements like these.

if “why they use” is understood as a question, then it’s functioning as a question. to try to point out a “mistake” in english against some supposed objective or better standard is to fight a classist, sisyphean, and intellectually unrigorous battle against the reality of language in use. spare yourself the frustration.

that’s why the second part is important, to hide the evidence 😉

if the landlords care that much about cooking smells, they could use some of their ill-gotten wealth to install decent ventilation in kitchens…

terrifying to me that someone could look at the world around us and think a big change would be a bad thing…
