Tomato, to-illegal.

Nope, we are commemorating it.

I’m sure that’s what these people got together to commemorate and no other events at all.

Remind me again how that started?

I have encountered more lunatics on Lemmy than I have in any other place in my entire life. It’s fucking astounding.

I’m a man who was sexually abused by a woman when I was a child. If I point out that the sign in the thumbnail is both untrue and is a dangerous oversimplification am I a rape apologist?

The whole “people can’t be illegal” thing is an attempt to bypass negative attitudes people have towards people who - ya know - break the law and violate the sovereignty of the country they’re in. It’s what dovetails with rebranding to saying “migrants”, it’s a bald-faced attempt to manipulate the public and get them to accept people jumping borders and overstaying visas.

That level of change took centuries and I still understand it.

The internet speeds up change to the point where we’ll lose intelligibility.

Yep, real childish of me to insist that our goddamned primary communication protocols remain consistent because it would cut down on fun improvisation.

Yeah, I missed “to mean”. Looks like at least one other guy did, too.

Sure, but Jesus Christ fucking up part of speech is a childish mistake to embrace. Maybe we shouldn’t just go along with every fuckup people on Tic Tok lean into.

It is the proper usage.

Then your example should have been “this house is aesthetic”. Aesthetic is being used as an adjective.

Saying “this house has a pleasing aesthetic” is correct. Aesthetic is being used as a noun. “Pleasing” is the adjective. While the aesthetic is not defined enough to your liking, it isn’t being used as an adjective.

Use your original wording and replace the word “aesthetic” with the word “quality”. “This house has a pleasing quality” is a proper sentence. Sure, there’s ambiguity as to what that quality is (is it the shape of it? Is it the color? Perhaps the landscaping?), but it isn’t grammatically incorrect.

That one fucking guy wanted to go back. Apparently that’s some kind of “gotcha”, despite just about everybody else going from the North to the South.

Just ignore the foreign intelligence operatives and go about your business.

You might want to look at laser printers. If you’re just doing black and white documents, whatever the latest Brother printer is will do a good job, do it fast, and not screech at you about your cyan running out.

It’s a few hundred bucks up front, but the toner cartridges print a ton of pages and don’t dry out if you don’t use them. I can’t recommend it enough if you have even a passing desire to make hard copies of documents.

Yeah, OP might just be a dumbass.

Given that you think Putin is promising people immortality, I doubt it.

I’m not entirely certain you’re thinking straight. You’re coming off a little unhinged.

Age and maturity are not the same thing.

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

It is, but teenagers and the emotionally stunted fall into it so they can feel superior.

It’s basically a diet conspiracy theory. It lets adherents think they’re special and have figured something out that regular people didn’t. That’s a lot more comforting than realizing they’re just regular people because they aren’t mature enough to see obscurity as a good thing.
