minus-squaredependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down2·1 day ago A special advantage, immunity, permission, right, or benefit granted to or enjoyed by an individual, class, or caste. synonym: right. Say what now?
minus-squareusualsuspect191linkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21 day agoIs a special advantage synonymous with a right?
