While having two words for blue because “they look different”

People seem to believe this so let me clarify:

Literally, “apple of [the] earth”. The word pomme used to mean “fruit” in Old French. The French construction originated, as calques, Dutch aardappel, Icelandic jarðepli, Persian سیب‌زمینی (sib-zamini), Modern Hebrew תפוח אדמה (tapúakh adamá), the rare English earthapple, German Erdapfel, etc.

wiktionary

In fact, apple was a catch all term for fruits in many languages from time to time, hence pineapple (originally meaning pinecone, later used for the exotic fruit because of similarity) or German Apfelsine (orange, literally apple from China), …

Nudel?? NUDEL???

I don’t know if everyone gets the reference: RollerCoaster Tycoon is in fact writing mostly in assembly to use the hardware more efficiently

Patriarchy is for sure a cause many people die from, so maybe it’s time to fight and die for ending it

Just make sure you don’t develop an allergic reaction. Could happen with too much exposure

I first read it as “dying for a cause”. I guess cigarettes make you more revolutionary or something

Some h*bits die hard

Where is lemmygrad? I would have expected them to make it on the list

As so often, you steal from the capitalist, not the workers

That’s b*llshit

There is a Words For Granted podcast episode about that. Don’t remember much tho. Have fun!

IOW, the problem is not with “capital” or “the profit motive”, but Corporativism.

Can you elaborate on the difference?

Thanks for asking! I didn’t know it either

In my opinion, it’s not growth in users that’s the problem but in capital. The more the platform wants to earn, the shittier it gets. And since lemmy isn’t going to earn anything, it ain’t get shitty

That’s what they want you to believe. I did my own research and it turns out you are wrong. Checkmate atheist /s

Hmm, might be a list of no go words they complied from somewhere. You’re right, it’s very unlikely that someone actively excluded 420 but maybe they downloaded a list of “bad words”.

My guess is it’s programmed to reject 4/20 anywhere it finds it and the programmer didn’t take into account that some values can just happen to be 4/20.

Sure, care about it or don’t, I don’t care. It was the “being qualified to have an opinion” bit I didn’t like. I don’t have to qualify to have an opinion and I can write an opinion piece and sure enough, less people will read it than Obama’s. I might not be qualified to teach on that subject but everyone is qualified to build one’s own opinion.

But maybe that’s just overly pedantic on my side. You are qualified to have a different opinion.
