Not gonna lie, the master branch thing is problematic but I don’t typically see an issue with it. It’s similar to master bedroom or bath. Kind of fucked up name origin, but I don’t think anyone’s really making a fuss about it.

Whatever the fuck you’re doing though feels like some gross, racist fantasy. It’s really weird, dude. If you think that’s funny you might need to go talk to some real people or touch grass.

Yes, we’re already at the “rounding them up” stage. They just gotta pretend you’re an illegal long enough for them to “oppsie” remove you from the country.

Literally being used in the absurdist manner also dates back to the 1800s

Literally was being used as an intensifier in both cases where it was being used to signify the truth of something and in the absurdist manner. So, no, it didn’t lose all meaning. So long as you’re not emphasizing something too absurd to be considered real, the original meaning still holds. And if someone uses the word to emphasize something that could be real, though unlikely, they’ll likely get the appropriate follow-up.

On the Crescendo one, do you also get mad about forte? Cause basically the same thing happened there. And no one will confuse the music term for the colloquial term in either case.

Oligopolies, monopolies. Potato tomato, potato tomato

Gas stoves are the Trojan horse for gas heating. Other than that *shrug

Market regulations prevent abuses. Without them, it’s always a race to the bottom. The free market won’t save you, it just mindlessly pursues profits (it literally can’t do otherwise).

.ml user sees criticism of China, tries to find any way that it’s actually capitalism/the west’s fault. Even when it’s irrelevant to the discussion. Maybe even especially

“The blast points are tiny as hell. Sand people’s would left craters in this thing”

How does this comment make sense in response to what they’re saying? If you live in the US, minimum wage, if it was linked to productivity, should be $25.52 in 2023

Since that isn’t the case, why would you be able to say that the person you’re replying to stating that increasing the minimum wage would change something (instead of needing to change everything first, like you’re advocating) have any bearing on our current reality? Your current living conditions is not an argument for changing the minimum wage having no impact on people’s lives.

That last one doesn’t happen any more. It’s called Surprise Medical Billing. Used to be that some providers would be out of network (thus requiring a separate bill) but now the law is that if an encounter is in network, the whole bill is in network.

I’m too lazy to do hyphens right now

I’m an American, how dare you exclude me from this post!

Ah, Dungeon Crawler Carl

I hope that Hobbes’ owner adopted them and didn’t pay the breeder that did this to them. Cause it’s a lifetime of pain and horrible arthritis

Their weapons return Gwi-ma’s servants to the underworld (as they’re an extension of the Hon-Moon). Presumably that means it also sent Gwi-ma back to the underworld

Holy shit. You’re the first right-winger I’ve seen on lemmy. Pathetic!
