“Is it [weird] how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how [weird] it is?”

"The game is literally called 'Dungeons and Dragons' there should be a dragon for every dungeon you go into, but there is -never- a dragon."

This is bizarre but true: in older (and by that I mean largely pre-1900) English printed alphabets, the character & was printed at the end, and was memorized as a 27th character.

It was recited in the alphabet as "per se and", meaning "'and' by itself". So the end of the alphabet went "X, Y, Z, and per se and."

The phrase "and per se and" eventually got contracted - and is how we got today's name for the symbol: ampersand.

No, really: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ampersand

"If you hate Nazis so much, and you want there to be fewer of them, the only way to do that is to debate them."

Son, I'm pretty sure I can think of another way to get fewer Nazis. :guillotine:

As an instance admin, I decided to check out Toot! for iOS. It's $3.99 USD, but after a few hours' use, it is definitely worth it. This is a genuinely pleasant Mastodon experience, and the only feature request I have is the ability to turn off boosts in my home TL. (If that exists already, please point me to it!)

Every time I see someone use "snowflake" as an insult, I want to remind them that Tyler Durden wasn't a good guy or a good person, and that when he told Project Mayhem "you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake" he was deliberately dehumanizing his victims to brainwash them into being in his cult.

So, sure, if you want to act like a cultist devoted to a homicidal villain, you go right ahead. Just be aware that's what you're doing.

Calling the GIMP maintainers out for being indifferent shits about the software's slur-name, like you do.

@troubleMoney Basement Greek has all the weird-world words, like "sorcerer" and "demon" and "liminal space".

Living room Greek is corrupted by the TV and is basically Latin at this point.

@sargoth @impiaaa why do snakes

every time you are near
would be nice
if your dice stopped
rolling ones

@frostotron Yep. MRAs hate when you point out that the Matrix was written by two trans women as a trans allegory.

I was curious what kind of pill it was, because I'm that kind of person, so I looked it up. (2/2)

I want to give a shout out to the transphobic, homophobic, misogynist guy on Facebook who used this as his illustrative image when he was trying to convince someone to "redpill" themselves. (1/2)

I'm gonna start pleural.cafe, which you can only register for if you live between someone's ribs and their lungs

Poor freedom of speech. Its meaning has taken such a drubbing in the last few years.

I mean, originally, it was just "the government can't tell you what you can and can't say".

Then someone decided it meant "what you say should never have any consequences".

Then someone decided that it meant "nobody can deny you a soapbox".

Then someone decided that it meant "nobody can refuse to listen to you."

Now apparently it means "every program that could possibly access my soapbox MUST do so."

I see the racist, misogynist "we just want to point out how easy it is to spam on Mastodon" concern trolls are back in action. (If they link to a site called "women are stupid", that's them.)

Remember: don't engage them. Report them, pass the report through to the remote instance if need be, block them, and move on.

if you complain about someone pirating a cyberpunk game you're officially on the side of the megacorps
