Cross the wrong people and you end up not dead, but irrecoverable. Cement shoes, buried alive kind of stuff. Cross a different set of wrong people and you become a labrat. To avoid either scenario, you’ll be in a constant state of “undocumented” or false-documented which will keep you in a pretty consistent state of poverty.
Looks like I’ve blocked 2? One for bigotry reasons I can’t recall, and the other for being just having annoying posting habits (applying a license to every comment like those facebook chainletters).
Could make sense. If they’re smart, they’re trying to get a cut of the “exclusive Discord”, patreon, Substack kind of money flow.
If they’re wildly stupid, they’ll try to take over and paywall popular existing subreddits.
See, that’s much closer to “(It was) my pleasure”, which is a valid English response (though these days it puts people in the mind of “Chick-fil-A employee”) than it is “You’re welcome”.
I feel you’ve missed the point I was making and assumed I’ve made another. Age number and year number are different. You’re in your first year when your age is not yet 1. You’re in your second year when your age is between 1 and 2.
Years follow numbers as in "this year was the first/second/third year of ", not “this year was the year turned X years old”
The language is rooted in the same logic as people. Your first year was between the ages of 0 and 1. The first year before you were born is between -1 and 0. There is no 0th year because 0 is a point in time and not a range in time.
Been on Reddit since 2010. I’m hoping that Lemmy and other Fediverse apps sort of grow out of the meta-talk and comparisons to their centralized counterparts.
Otherwise, the communities themselves seem pleasant (or swiftly defederated from by the good ones). We don’t quite the critical mass to get active niche communities, or hyper-specialized ones yet, which I kind of miss. Stuff like “here’s a subreddit for each of these very specific habits that cats can have”, or “talk about a particular species of parrot”, y’know?
The first I bought for myself was a PNY XLR8 GeForce GTS 250 in 2010. It tided me over for 4 years, until my power supply gave a loud POP, and I replaced pretty much the whole build just in case the other parts were damaged (or caused the damage).
