No, it’s not wrong, it’s just that a century ago some prescriptivist cunt put together an arbitrary set of rules in a book and called it “proper” English, and ever since every teacher assumed that the book is the only correct form.

lemmyngto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What popular TV show did not do it for you and you quit watching?English5·2 days agoThis, plus The Sopranos, The Office, Parks & Rec, IASIP, 30 Rock, etc.
I get that they’re well liked, and they are the source of lots of meme material, but I could never manage to get through a whole episode.
Hit the search button, then under the search field there’s a “Filter by community” button. If you already filtered by a community the button is replaced with the community name, with an [x] button at the end to remove the filter.
beans sandwich
Lemmy is definitely not forgetting that one…
Find a deli that carries blood and tongue sausage. Get them to slice it thin, it’s delicious in sandwiches.
lemmyngto Games@sh.itjust.works•What game(s) would you use to introduce someone to WASD/Mouse controls?English41·3 days ago2D: Survivors/Bullet Heaven type games. Most are WASD to move, mouse to aim (if at all).
3D: Vampire Hunters. Since it auto shoots the focus is on movement: strafing, aiming, and avoiding getting hit by mobs. Dying early is expected, so no pressure on getting a perfect run.
Does Big Trouble in Little China count?
Otherwise, and in no particular order:
- UHF
- Six String Samurai
- Hudson Hawk
- Repo Man
- Hobo with a Shotgun
- The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai across the 8th Dimension
- Death Race
- Dead Alive
- WolfCop
lemmyngto PC Gaming•Pocketpair’s defenses against Nintendo’s patent lawsuit unpacked: ARK, Craftopia, Zelda, FF14 etc. may render asserted patents invalid – games frayEnglish8·3 days agoYeah, and it sucks that plants can be patented. Monsanto in particular can go die in a fire.
lemmyngto PC Gaming•Pocketpair’s defenses against Nintendo’s patent lawsuit unpacked: ARK, Craftopia, Zelda, FF14 etc. may render asserted patents invalid – games frayEnglish9·4 days agoNAL, but as it was explained to me by a lawyer: Part of a patent remaining valid is demonstrating that they put consistent effort into enforcing it. Nintendo not having filed suit against the other companies (if the games are indeed found to be violating the same patent) lays groundwork for invalidation. This is for example the reason Pepsico sued farmers in India for cultivating their patented potato - not because it would harm their business, but because it would harm the validity of their patent if they didn’t.
lemmyngto Europe@feddit.org•‘Parkinson’s is a man-made disease’ - Pesticides may be fueling a silent epidemic, warns Dutch neurologist Bas BloemEnglish541·4 days agoFrom the article:
a condition shaped less by genetics and more by prolonged exposure to toxicants like air pollution, industrial solvents and, above all, pesticides.
Identification of Parkinson’s disease coincides with the industrial revolution, so the claim is still plausible.
lemmyngto No Man's Sky@lemmy.world•Most planets feel like they only have one biomeEnglish10·4 days agoI think what OP means is that no matter the planet, the biome is the same across the planet. An ice planet is cold everywhere, desert planets are hot everywhere during the day, etc.
So tapenade then?
Pickle chutney and pickle spread are also things, but not all of them necessarily have the same chunkiness as bruschetta.

lemmyngto Linux@lemmy.world•[Solved, sort of] Keyboard doesn't work after logging in. FedoraEnglish1·5 days agoAre you on a convertible laptop? Is Fedora perhaps thinking you’re on keyboard-less mode? Is there an OSD keyboard enabled that may be overriding your input?

You can take the windows installer from GoG and run it in a bottle, but honestly Heroic is much more convenient for that. Bottles works for any local game installer though, just like Lutris, but it has a more accessible interface, and once you’ve installed games you can add the shortcut to the bottles library which gives you a tiled view like Heroic.
Such devices exist, namely stars. Neutron stars are theorized to have neutronium at their core, essentially a soup of neutrons so densely packed that nothing else fits between them - in order words, the densest theoretical material (osmium is the densest material found on Earth).
