I don’t want someone to go kill him, but I absolutely wish that he would drop dead without the slightest moral reservation.

My only concern is that however he were to die, everyone on the right would go full conspiracy theory and blame it on the left, and somehow we’d be worse off in ways I can’t imagine right now. The right always seems to find a way to make me regret any turn of events that I thought was good.

Go to General > Keyboard > Text Replacement, and create an entry for each word you want, putting the same thing in the phrase field and the shortcut field. Then it won’t try to replace them every time.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is actually “till” and “till” is not short for “until” (and “‘til” is not a word). “Until” actually came from “till”.

I’ve never heard anyone say “tell” to mean “till” so I won’t comment on that.

Han sarcastically calls Jabba “a wonderful human being” in the special editions of ANH

The context in which it is used makes sense, but the extra “is” is just there. By all rights it should be ungrammatical, but people pretty frequently have that extra “is”, and I do find it absolutely bizarre how pervasive it is.

If they looked exactly alike it wouldn’t even be interesting. You could just photograph actual twins

All That She Wants will always remind me fondly of being driven to high school by my older sister in 1993 with that song on repeat

I agree that it’s still saying something about the music industry, just not with the specific lyrics, but rather with the sound and the title.

All this photo would take is either a friend hanging back and snapping a pic with their phone, or a random person walking behind who thought it was funny taking a photo, the coats are noticeable enough that someone could have seen it coming far enough ahead of time to get their phone ready for the photo

The reason that a linguist would give is that -phile has become a somewhat productive suffix in English, so it is not constrained to Greek roots.

Because:

1. The words “lose” and “loose” have the same vowel sound (and for some reason the extra “o” changes /z/ to /s/).

2. There are no other words ending in -ose that have the /u/ sound

3. Many words ending in -oose exist that have an /u/ sound, including the very common word, “choose”, which has the same /uz/ sound that “lose” has at the end

I never get these spellings mixed up but I can absolutely understand why someone would.

You should have suggested you put sunscreen on each other’s backs at the same time to get it over with quicker.

Not sure what to tell you. It was very frequent.

I really don’t miss the top level comments with the “edit: wow, thank you so much for all the upvotes!” award speeches appended to the end of them.

What would you prefer people use to refer to “Reddit-like” ActivityPub clients, and what would you prefer for “Twitter-like” ones?

Great, can you explain what you mean? I did not follow.

Are you saying to start calling all of it ActivityPub? In which case, I would think that’d be extra confusing since lemmy and mastodon don’t cross-interface very well and you really need one client for each type.

Any Blu-ray player has to know the key in order to play a disc. So they’d have to have some way to update every single player. There would be no feasible way to do that.
