Hm, I guess an encyclopedia article is more relevant than a dictionary definition, so sure. I was using the looser secondary definition… in this case an elision that references a dialect in order to call up regional relevance to the opinion expressed.

I dunno, cf. 1.b definition of idiom in the OED: dialect usage, and 2.a is dialect usage for effect. Maybe the definition is changing with the ages, or your usage is overly strict.

Well we can argue over the niceties of the word idiom, but as it’s referring to the way the word is pronounced in specific regions of North America, it qualifies as meeting one of the definitions of idiom.

Elision refers more to the absence of an understood word, such as saying ‘my bad’.

My bad, elision can also refer to slurring syllables together, so it’s both.

In the English language, specifically North American dialects, this is a form of idiom.

Nah, the commenter calls out Israel in other threads.

I thought it was just a troll account but madlian has posted 200+ comments on a 1 week account and is not agitating or a contrarian, is not even wrong most of the time, just contemptuous and enjoys being an asshole.

Yes, we call that “structural racism”.

Can confirm, I live out in the countryside with only coax available, and a measly 1Gbit down 150Mbit up and 9 - 11ms ping. No caps.

Wait, that’s awesome and steady and reliable. Expensive sure but with heavy multiperson usage and no noticeable issues, I am wondering WTF you’re on about unless it’s some weird edge case?

Maybe you are referring to predatory business practices like oversubscribed lines? That’s not a technical problem.

Thanks for bringing that up, trying to justify atomic bombs that way is specious reasoning.

During his feature length interview in The Fog of War, MacNamara said explicitly that if they had lost the war, he and his team would have been tried for war crimes. He cries a bit at one point while describing the firebombing of wooden cities, at how it was worse than the atomic bombs they dropped.

We have many alternate routes toward national self-reliance, but they aren’t neoliberal enough for bankers and oligarchs… Carney’s main clients.

As a simple example, the housing crisis really started to hurt when the Mulroney and the subsequent neoliberal governments withdrew from social housing. This is not an isolated issue, look around the world and observe that the only governments dealing with the problem are actively committed to publicly owned housing on a grand scale.

We can decommodify our way out of many false or unnecessary scarcity issues. An additional economic multiplier at a time of need would be the keynsian stimulus of unions building out our solutions.

Of course, this is contrary to letting the Market decide, so nah. We get commodity solutions at fake discounts. More capital flowing upwards until it’s too late.

To disable biometrics on your iPhone, simply press the power button five times, rapidly.

This also gives you a power off option and an SOS button.

If you want to fully encrypt the phone before confiscation, turn it off.

?! Have you seen a M4 chip in action? Low energy, high performance. Silent computers, long battery life. Good value on a simple benchmark basis. Not credibly last year tech.

Pre-ARM Macs, sure, but that was five years ago.

Lots of other hardware issues to complain about, however.

Generally, Safari was kind of middling in function and design until around 2018, when it got more streamlined or something; at least, its apparent performance improved over the other browsers on macOS. It was novel on Windows but pretty limited and just, meh.

Edit: I forgot, the clean, minimalist, ad free reader view on the windows version was very nice to have. Long time ago!

That’s not logical, nobody but you is saying that.

In English, “you” can refer to an individual or a group.

Apply the group in this context. Each member of a group taking care of their individual mandate of responsibility is collective action.

So no, to your question, no-one meant that.

“Critical Race Theory is propaganda.”

“Systemic racism [in x y z / Quebec] is a myth.”

Settler states always have this stuff in varying degrees, whether fascist or centrist. Capitalism just makes it worse.

Decolonize the mind and state.

This is a terrible statement on ethics, or an excellent condemnation of organized faith under authority.

You can choose a mosque or church or temple, or choose not to associate at all where the common practice is to include unrepentant authoritarians. This does not require you to abandon your core beliefs.

The basic lesson of the 20th century, for all humanity, is to tolerate all behaviour except the oppressive and, ironically, the intolerant.
