I’m a hard core vegan. I’ve been banned because I’m apparently a “carnist troll”. In their defense, they unbanned me after I appealed.

December 8 is Saint Nicholas day, aka Father Christmas.

I’ve personally never been banned on reddit, but been banned 2 or 3 times on Lemmy for being too argumentative.

Sometimes, even if I generally agree with someone, I have the strong urge to argue because I don’t think their arguments are good. But some people see that as being against them or even trolling. And communities here seem more sensitive to it.

That’s very important context for this question

Languages don’t have to do it. Languages are organic and evolve constantly. A language is not a set of rules, it’s what people speak. The books just try to formalize it. But each language has limited set of sounds, so older names of places often used only those sounds because people literally couldn’t pronounce other sounds. Or when the name is something totally different, it’s usually very old names for things, ans they often get changed! (recent examples are Turkiye and Kiwiv). You also can’t force people to use certain words, it either comes naturally or falls out of use.

Thanks, that will be useful knowledge to have when it happens to me

Used to have? Not anymore?

Why do we do this, and then sometimes buy crap on impulse and then regret such low quality products without any research? I hate that trait of mine. There’s no in-between.

Where can I read that historic fanfiction?

The naivite of these nerds. That’s how you get capitalists to steal your idea

Of course. If you upset the overlords, you don’t deserve to live. But they wouldn’t admit it publicly (for now), so they go the roundabout way. Next, they could cut off your electricity too, maybe ask your bank to freeze your account, cancel your cards, oh and maybe Sony can take over your house too.

One of those things that makes you wonder who tried it first and for long enough to notice that it whitened your teeth.

"When someone is used to privilege, equity feels like oppression” or something

Not just that, but around the same time we saw significant service fragmentation and price hikes.

I just use butterflies

I bet that kid grew up watching full metal alchemist
