  • Showing off his Tennessee cred

  • English isn't meant for the roman alphabet, but Welsh is even worse for it. Honestly a lot of languages needed a Sequoyah rather than just borrowing an alphabet from whomever conquered them

  • It's steering into the skid of weird. Sometimes fixing isn't possible so the goal is to put up a nice big sign that says "something here is fucky"

  • Defederation is often seen as a last resort and generally seen pretty negatively. Defederating everyone would also get rid of most content

  • Yeah the stupid, silly, and more adventurous flirtation is usually in certain types of space, but when I see it happening I feel so at home. Two girls making eyes at each other over a stupid feat of strength or toughness or whatever else gets me to let my guard down

  • I mean kinda yeah at least enough of us do

  • Such a shame it had to be there and not here… I could've had a particularly fun workout today

  • In this case it pertains to how the app spent years cultivating an atmosphere indicating discretion. That's why last time I thought about it (a decade ago) it was mostly popular for sending nudes.

    My position here is that the government has been pressuring private companies to give them all the warrantless data they want. And I think they shouldn't be allowed to ask. Hell I think they should need a warrant to view surveillance data unless someone in the incident consents or the owner of the data is the accuser.

    Now I acknowledge that those two paragraphs allow this situation. But I also think that we shouldn't be holding a reasonable expectation of privacy to what a privacy advocate thinks, it should be what an ordinary citizen and user of a service thinks. In that case, either I'm old and out of touch since my sending tit pics over Snapchat days are long past (I am) and this woman had an atypical expectation of privacy. Or Snapchat isn't properly expressing to users the degree of surveillance they're under and this should be taken as private communication and Snapchat should be forced to either change their surveillance levels or work to ensure that the average user understands the level of surveillance they're under.

    So yeah I think this is mostly a consumer rights issue, but it's also an issue of the government keeps asking for data on private citizens that they shouldn't be allowed to collect themselves and I don't think they should even be allowed to ask

  • As an English speaker yeah we should switch back to runes

  • Except that's all gender rather than the article function (distinguishing if something is specific or generic). A language without articles doesn't distinguish between "get in the car" and "get in a car" and instead rely on the person listening to know whether there's a specific car to get into

  • I just assume anyone not using articles is a Roman

  • People are talking about the real vs artificial, but there's another component here. Many sweets have vanilla regardless of if they have any other flavorings. This results in it being very similar to cheese is on pizza, where you only call it cheese because it's only cheese.

  • Yeah, part of what I appreciate about him is that he does consistently acknowledge when he fucks up and tries to change.

  • Nope, at least not in North America, and it sounds extremely Oceanian, so I'd be surprised if it's used in the UK

  • It was a power pretty heavily implied not to belong to the government. And given thet the 9th says that rights exist beyond those explicitly stated, it should be pretty clear.

    Anyways we must make the implied right to privacy explicit

  • Exactly! The joke is fucked up, and yet we deserve the right to reasonable privacy in spaces where we're told we can expect reasonable privacy (and the right to have spaces with reasonable privacy). Consent for mass surveillance and tyranny is built from situations like this where the question can be shifted to being about what was done under the presumption of privacy rather than the fact that it was violated.

  • We're supposed to not find out that the joke was made in private and judge her based on how she acts outside of private

  • Eh I'd call him an amazing showrunner (aside from what he did to Carpenter, her absence made the show worse in addition to his behavior being wrong) and a very swingy writer. Toy Story was great, but his writing for Marvel is what really broke the spell of him as an amazing writer. Though apparently he wrote most of the best episodes of Buffy, so maybe I just dislike his writing in superhero movies.

  • Oh season 2 is hard but it's such a painful season and so good at making you feel. And 6 even more so. 6 isn't my favorite season because 3 and 5 exist, but it's probably 3rd. Definitely has some questionable decisions, but the making the big bad be life, the incel villains, and the raw struggles of the characters were so good. Also the musical episode was peak.

    Tara deserved better though. And everything surrounding the rape was quite rough.

    Season 4 is my least favorite because it just failed to hit very hard, and being sandwiched between 3 with Cordelia's face turn and Faith, Wesley, and the Mayor and 5 with Glory and just everything great about it, it's flatness was far more noticeable
