Unlike English when the name for those is seven-tens, eoght-tens, nine-tens?

Or “four score (20) and seven years ago” (4x20, +7= 87)

Or Roman numerals being like XIV (10, + (5-1) = 14)

…the numbers have always been maths. Always

Na. Not because I care about hauntings or not, but because if the beat thing you can think to sell your hotel on is that it’s not interesting, it sounds like a shit-tier hotel whether it’s actually haunted or not

My partner and I still make fun of the motel we passed that proudly announced it had… wifi

Iirc most the ReVanced devs left due to some kinda conflict with the dev spearheading it. Morphe is the work of several ex-ReV devs working together specifically to evade that one guy, and ReV’s update code is mostly being pulled from Morphe anyway because the devs that left were doing most of the work, so that one guy is copying them back into ReV.

But hey that’s just what 8ve heard from other Lemmings, idk much more than that. Just that any updates to ReV are basically just delayed-repackaged Morphe code anyway.

Quite likely. Many Linux distros aren’t visible because they hide their telemetry, and would be marked as ‘unknown’ - or they spoof Windows or Mac for compatibility reasons. It’d be impossible to get an accurate read on how many computers run Linux, but it’ll be higher than the number that report it.

360 no-scope on autistic people tbh

I have my written tone read as ‘angry’ (or sometimes, passionate) just because of my formal word choice. It’s angry if I’m pointing out something bad, and passionate if I’m sharing something good. Because it’s not just meaning, its also being compared to everybody else’s writing.

As it is, when people call my name, turns out if you say ‘yes?’ Or ‘what’s up?’ in a completely neutral tone (because I’m concentrating on my task, not my performance)… the default interpretation is ‘pissed’. So now that’s another area I have to mask for others, even while I’m trying to work.

It’s the same reason women talking like men seem like bitches. It’s not about what you actually say or how you say it, it’s being compared to how you’re expected to behave. If we expect men to be forthright, and women to be diplomatic, then forthright women are bitches and diplomatic men are delicate.

The Shrek 2 ‘fairy godmother’ cover of I Need a Hero is far more enjoyable than the original one imo.

Others that come to mind have already been listed here…

Netflix has it in their business model specifically. New (good) shows bring in more users than subsequent seasons do.

As far at Netflix is concerned, that’s what matters. Not art, not content, not quality. Not even ratings. Users.

So they constantly make new shows, axing the budget of older ones to fund new ones. The hope is that not only do these new shows draw in users, current users stay subscribed to check out new content constantly on the horizon.

It’s novelty over quality. Subscriber count over all else. A show has to be so good that it warps their metrics of playtime, search results, marketing etc. That it is more popular than anything new could be.

Which is why shows that start great inevitably end up puttering along far longer than the story can take (eg: Stranger Things). The metrics from the earlier seasons dictate that it must continue.

Yeah, that’s the eww part :( I hate when I find great memes and I know exactly the friend to share them to… and I can’t DM them.

Especially if it’s animated. Easy enough to change the extension on PC to a PNG without issue yet. But anything too large to screenshot, or with multiple frames? Many a DND meme have I let pass by

‘Hero’ is a term of social worship for those that enact change.

Do I think he did a moral act that aligned with his principles, motivated by compassion for others? Did he forsee what it would cost him and do it anyway because he believed it was the right thing to do, no matter how hard? Yes, and yes.

But he’d only be a ‘hero’ if anybody actually cared enough to do anything about it, making him a symbol of social change that people would be grateful for him instigating.

Instead, he falls victim to the same traps as those who self-immolate outside buildings to make their point: a spectacle of sacrifice, exchanged for confused apathy from those he claimed to stand for.

That really sucks. He was trying to make a real difference. He had to flee his home forever, because of the cost of him trying to save it.
