Doubling down on the "I could care less" as a misinterpretation of "I couldn't care less".

The phrase "I could not care less" means someone doesn't care whatsoever. Saying "I could care less" implies the person does care. I had no idea how widespread it was until I started using US websites.

Also, it doesn't so much annoy me, but ::: spoiler spoiler gendered language. using neutral terms for everything is actually easier and simplifies the language. :::

I'm not even specifically pro-Lenin and I'm tankie last level. (apart from the four words "communism didn't kill anyone")

This scale's messed yo.

The giant emotes (which generates a lot of animosity when combined with the dubiously low PPB-trigger-threshold of some of our posters when on other instances) are solvable issue. If the devs were so inclined, they could just run imagemagick over them automatically to make downsized copies.

I'm not necessarily saying they should, I'm just saying they could.

I can't imagine thinking Chinese citizens wouldn't know what basic geographical regions in their own country are.

It's like yelling "Hawaii! Puerto Rico! American Civil War!" at an US citizen and expecting them to wake up.

See, the thing with "puta/puto" is that it literally means "whore", but it's used to empathize cursings just like "fucking" is used in english. We're even misusing it by putting it before verbs, imitating it's use in english.

I think the Polish word 'kurwa' is coincidentally similar.

So it means "Pretend you have to go use the toilet and leave us"? I like it!

This is a twelfth type of liberalism.

A unified party

communism is when you only have a one party state

For bonus points, negative usage in light-hearted banter, flipping it to net positive.

One of the top-rated replies so far is an Asian who expresses they are offended, so that can't be right.

What power and control does this even give someone?

I'm not active in the community these days but I might as well through some suggestions in the mix:

• splash (like a splash of paint)
• face
• tweek
• dec (like decorate, or decked out) or deq

Fortunately our law

Whose law?

Which jurisdiction applies?

Wait just realized you're anglo since your username has "colour".

I don't think that's an effective way to guess where someone lives, it just suggests whether they learned the American spelling or not. From what I understand, Europe and most former British Empire colonies favouuur the British spelling. This article has a demonstrative diagram map - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences

Hello fellow resource, uh i mean human.

I, for one, haven't had to look at laptop manufacturers for nearly a decade because my Thinkpad is still running Linux without a problem.

Aside from political reasons (which are valid!), what makes those manufacturers worth choosing over a Thinkpad?

Lemmy has had a huge bias towards seize-the-means-of-production socialism from day 1, which is very important in understanding why it's different from other reddit clones, and why it has unique features and anti-features. The political orientation is not incidental, it's vital, and I'm glad to see it hasn't completely died from the sudden influx of reddit-natives when the API thing happened.

And honestly, I can't blame any non-general instance for defederating when a sizable bunch of users are very trigger-happy with spamming PPB on other instances.

I don't know how much bloat Mint adds

Not enough to make me think about it, it's not like I'm running a server or fighting for storage space. But if the thought of Flatpaks is enough to frighten, then it could be a problem.
