You can make that exact same argument about dropping bombs.

When countries are threatened and dropping bombs relieves that threat instead of increases it, then they do. It’s just that right now violent escalation doesn’t benefit China, so it stays in the realm of sabre rattling

Imagine writing that completely unironically.

There was a whole court case that came from it. They added new restrictions (which in typical Hallmark fashion, they called the Golden Rules) to the lab but the employee argued that he was never informed.

Just Google “Hallmark rule 34 Golden Lab”

This is old news

A few years back someone entered the research lab with a pumpkin spiced latte, and wiped out the research. They had to start over from scratch.

Yeah, like I said, that doesn’t sound healthy

Well I’m not gonna waste a gem like that in the comments

(Aka don’t call my bluff, that’s not very polite! 😛)

That’s why it didn’t work out for the dude in Texhnolyze, they replaced his right arm

Thanks for the idea

You really only need to drill down until you reach the esophagus

Dude, idk.

I was just like “you seem to be telling the dude that he isn’t using tankie correctly, but that’s not how language works”

And then you replied that I’m wrong, and seemed to be making an appeal that the negative connotations had to do with the invalidity of the definition.

Our wires are so crossed at this point that a random car in 1960 Spain just got spontaneously hotwired.

Yup.

You say that like it’s mutually exclusive. Nobody gets to choose how other people use language. Definitions are whatever people agree that they are, even if you’re not one of the people who agrees with it.
You can dislike that definition of tankie all you want, the fact that they used it in this way and that you understood it means that it was used correctly.

The evolution of language may hurt people, but denying the reality of evolving language hurts nobody but yourself. The etymology and history is good to know (and the meme relies on it), but the new definition is still a correct alternate definition.

This is the reality of language.
Both definitions are now correct. The change isn’t a fight you can win.

I mean…

Maybe anger would have, but he wasn’t consistently specifically angry at sadness.
And maybe sadness would have killed herself, but she didn’t.

It’d be out of character for any of the others to do it.

I think a lot of people here aren’t looking at this in the right way:

They don’t have to accept accounts for student or let students interact. This can be an alternative system for disseminating announcements with optional mechanisms for feedback. All they need to do is federate and then any of their students subscribe.

I’ve been wishing that my my governments (at all levels) would do this so I can get notified of things like changes to bus schedules or closures of highways and shit.

Elitist neckbeards like you are why Mastodon and Lemmy are still boring

I know the image post was hyperbole, but the way y’all are gushing over it is borderline religious, in an unsettling way.

Immediately, you call boilerplate a Big Deal and identify yourself as a zealot. Even in Java, a notoriously verbose and boilerplate laden language, it’s a Small Deal unless you’re doing something insane. Let me guess, your coding in VI or something.

Rust looks great. It’s a bunch of small improvements over most languages. But True Believers of any lang need to chill the fuck out.

Yes, both for this and future weekends

I think the term is hikikomori, and the cause is COVID isolation.

Anyone anything else
