I think every word ever started out as something that was nonsense to everyone, except the first two people who used that word.
My daughter really loves my old S10e. Apart from the dwindling battery life, it's still an awesome phone, capable of taking beautiful photos.
If I had to choose, I'd swap my Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions for YouTube. I think I watch YouTube videos about three times as much as Netflix and Disney.
I almost gave up in the beginning because I had never played a game that relied so much on hand to hand combat. I'm so glad I pushed through.
The lighting and weather is so good in that game.
Mad Max. Not the best game ever, but much better than I expected.
I like the Orville, despite it's clunkyness.
In all things I yearn for the past. Modern fashions seem to keep on growing more and more debased. I find that even among the splendid pieces of furniture built by our master cabinetmakers, those in the old forms are the most pleasing. And as for writing letters, surviving scraps from the past reveal how superb the phrasing used to be. The ordinary spoken language has also steadily coarsened. People used to say "raise the carriage shafts" "raise it" or "trim it."When they should say, "Let the men of the palace staff stand forth!" they say, "Torches! Let's have some light!" Instead of calling the place where the lectures on the Sutra of the Golden Light are delivered before the emperor "the Hall of the Imperial Lecture," they shorten it to "the Lecture Hal", a deplorable corruption, an old gentleman complained.
It's literally like language is a constantly changing thing.
Holy shit, I did the same thing. I hadn't heard from Klein in a couple of years and when I read something about Wolf I was really surprised, thinking it was that No Logo writer.
Thank you very much.
I also started using Alexandrite, thanks to that post!
Good to know. Thanks for the insight!
I use the middle mouse button a lot, it's just that I'm not used to a site not working 'like it should' (which is just my preference, I know). I mean, if Lemmy is a bulletin board or aggregate, I'm sort of expecting a certain type of behavior.
Maybe it's because my middle mouse button is wonky, sometimes it scrolls when I try to click. I just don't like it.
But the main reason I ask is that I don't get what makes some pages behave different; and what if I'd like to be able to make it act just the way I want? It's just one of those things.
I don't know how, but it does.
(Firefox) How do I change what happens if I click on a link on Lemmy's homepage?
