Objecting to a word because of its origins 800 years ago is ridiculous. If people want to object to words based on possibly offensive origins, they'll have to throw out an awful lot of them!

As a side note, "lord" originates from the Old English words for "loaf ward", or keeper of the bread. Interesting!

Oh. Oh, no! I'd heard he was a shitty person, but I wasn't expecting that!

Is knowing slang terms for gangbanging really that important?

Instagram's unskippable ads test causes outrage among users (www.techspot.com)

Instagram has long been accused of stealing features from platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter/X. It appears that the company has looked to YouTube for its latest idea: unskippable ads that you have to watch for a period of time before being able to scroll further....

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

User tolerance of online ads is really being tested lately with the increase of unskippable crap. I suspect that some will stop rather than deal with it, but most will just tolerate it. Which is what they're counting on.

This seems to be saying that Lemmy is stopping you from viewing recycled reddit content, which confuses me as Lemmy is full of it. No judgement, I'd rather view it here than there.

But it's generally pretty obvious when someone's dead. More likely it has to do with someone alive who may have a communicable disease.

This made me look up what a Neanderthal would look like in modern clothing and this was one of the results:

Yeah, I see no problem with any recurring character he plays in the future that he last portrayed pre-transition being trans. If anything it's nice to see characters where the fact that they're trans is just a characteristic of them rather than the whole point of their existence in the story.

The way I found out about his transition was this:

A bit confused until I looked it up.

There's "being supportive by disclosing that you've had similar experiences" and there's "being invalidating by making it about you". This falls into the latter category.

TIL that there are different standards of paper sizes in other parts of the world. I never encountered this before despite living in Germany for 10 years, probably because the last time I was there was 30 years ago.

There are definitely sweet cats. Most are assholes in my experience, though. Still love 'em.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

You don't get to take credit for that. We've been selectively breeding dogs for 30,000 years to get them to where they are today!

Cats are only sort of domesticated, and they chose to do it. Mostly they stay with us for the benefits.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Yes, it was a mutually beneficial relationship. But while we've been breeding dogs for so long that they'll die for us, cats are much less obsequious.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Both can, but dogs are more likely to because of the breeding. I'd say it still qualifies, since most dogs do not automatically like all humans. You'd have to disqualify a child's love that you raised as well, otherwise.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

We'll never know for sure, but just knowing how cats are today, I believe the hypothesis that they initiated it. The idea that people went out and brought in wild cats to keep down the rodent population doesn't seem as likely as cats going where the food is and people tolerating them because they killed the rodents (and the kittens being cute also probably helped).

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

You really gotta hand it to cats - they attached themselves to the dominant species on the planet. Smart! Dogs we chose to let live with us.

What if you do it a roundabout way? Record your Steam and email login info and include the paper that has it in the will. You're not giving them the account, just a piece of paper. What they do with it is up to them.
