With that last part I agree. And I’d bet we probably generally agree, but as a matter of perspective our positions look different. I’m not trying to be obtuse here.

This is such a silly line of thinking. To call being gay unnatural is clearly a misuse of the word, but the idea that everything that exists at all is natural is nonsense. For example, hot pink is an unnatural human hair color. Even if you color your hair hot pink, and therefore it exists; that doesn’t make it natural. So in the absence of another word used to describe something that wouldn’t otherwise exist in nature without human intervention, … “unnatural” is perfectly suited to this task.

The words exist across languages because we use them to mean something. If they had neither denotative nor connotative use, your comment itself would not mean anything. That you made the comment seems to me to imply that you know there is a difference.

Well that would just diminish the value of having both words.

I love Zen.

Bonus points is you run a fork bomb in parallel and see how far you get. Throw an egg on your heat sink for fun.

You mean when streaming video bandwidth, bidirectionally across the radio?

Ho Ly Shit. Alright. This just feels good. So many years have passed, and we’re still suffering loss. I love it.

Python is strongly typed. I get your point since it is dynamically typed, but still strongly.

I assume you aren’t engaging in good faith dialog here, given the immediate reach for disparaging remarks, but on the off chance you are, let me ask you this. If you asked somebody what their favorite whisky was, and they replied “Laphroaig”, would that be a sign of Scottish nationalism or exceptionalism? Or if you asked their favorite cheese, and they gave “Gouda”, a sign of Dutch exceptionalism?

Just because one’s answer to “What community would you like to see more active…” is something that is from the US, this is not American Exceptionalism. The question wasn’t, “What community do you think every Lemmy user should be required to participate in?” Nor was is, “What community is the best and most important on Lemmy?”

Clearly, at least one person here cares about it. Clearly that person isn’t you. Everything you have written here is incorrect, and if you had any shame, you’d be embarrassed to have said it in public.

If that isn’t already shorthand for “whenever, wherever, whatever” it should be.

How does liking gridiron football equate to believing the US is exemplary or better than other nations? Or maybe you think the definition of American exceptionalism is, “Likes something American”. Calling people dumb because you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about isn’t a good look.

How? Because somebody likes something? That isn’t American exceptionalism.

I’ll say this, the sub seems borderline tame or even progressive when compared to its Reddit counterpart.

I really think so.

Not all oil is salty. I suppose there are probably pros and cons to composting it, but I’d expect it to draw pests like crazy.

Some lessons only take once to cement the learning for a lifetime.

I had a murdered G37s named Stella. Was a fun time in life. Happy not to have a car at all now.

Elite in VR is a singular, unparalleled gaming experience. I can run minerals in a Type 6 back and forth like bus driving is my job.

I always thought Salmon Run looked so fun when my daughter played, but I never gave it a go.
