You don’t like when people tell you what to call them? What?

It’s not exactly what you mean, but merely mentioning abstinence evokes abstinence educators in the US for me. Abstinence education is bullshit. What kid needs to be told the only way to avoid STDs is to not have sex? Anyone with a functioning brain knows that. Abstinence educators are by and large Christian fundamentalists who go to schools to lie about sex and try to scare kids out of it.

Somehow I attended a public school which had one of these “educators” come by and preach about the purity of abstinence to my entire class. It was surreal and insulting to our intelligence.

Yeah I share the same general impression of him.

What do you notice specifically with text? I have found the app from the app store looks and feels almost identical to Apollo and behaves like a native app, particularly compared to stuff made with Flutter for example.

Other than sounding a bit annoyed that the UI was identical, did Christian express further unhappiness? Love(d) both apps

I would’ve expected to see more followers after that revelation

Are you going to supply new information? Or just say it’s there with the proper “research”

ahh feels like home

Hello i love your work and i’m very glad you post here :)

This is a great combo! I went from plex to RD+stremio and it’s great. Same selection for the most part. Only issue is you don’t retain the data. I am not a huge rewatcher or archiver so this is not a bad tradeoff for me.

Not a bad point. I think the quotation marks and the subject matter made it clear. However, if there is this much ambiguity in interpretation I think it could be changed justifiably. I still don’t think this is some kind of egregious sin, though

I would describe 100 people shitting themselves and throwing up as carnage lol. It’s not the same carnage left by a warzone, or the carnage left in the wake of a black friday sale, or the carnage that happens in a 10 car pileup.

You can take issue with “slammed” being overused or “carnage” being too flashy or something, but to say it amounts to malpractice and is a result of stupidity or low standards is not really fair imo. People use metaphorical language and hyperbole. It’s fine and normal

Also, I linked another article using carnage “incorrectly” and I thought that is what you were referring to. The writing quality is fine so I was not sure why you said it was low

This is a “get off my lawn” take. The language is not degenerating, it is evolving, as it always has and always will while people whine about kids these days and the way they speak. They quoted a student who correctly and metaphorically described the scene as carnage. This isn’t even a good example of “butchering” the English language – again, it’s just hyperbole.

Is slang “butchering” the language? Acronyms, initialisms? What about pidgin or creole?

e: I can almost promise you didn’t read that “poorly written” article, you just didn’t like the quote. It was found by reading the dictionary

Nobody thinks people are getting literally “slammed” when it’s in an article title. Have you ever used or seen “decimated” to mean something other than “Every 10th man in a roman cohort was executed”? It’s hyperbole, metaphor, a play on words.

Here’s an article not describing mass death, but uses “carnage,” as cited by Merriam Webster in their online definition for “carnage,” emphasis mine:

In practice, Argentinian Cami Nogueira did take a heavy slam that resulted in a concussion and broken nose, and doctors advised her not to keep riding while she recovered.
But some level of carnage is typical amongst the men that compete at Rampage, too. The reigning champion, Cam Zink, was evacuated by helicopter  with broken ribs and a punctured lung after crashing during the men’s competition on Saturday.

Carnage can mean any sort of chaos or harm coming to a group of people. I don’t see the use in pedantically hating on colorful language or simple literary devices.

He goes into their tech and how they do JS splitting and stuff. Looks old, but they’re using modern techniques afaik

Do you have proof of this? I cant really find any primary sources, particularly recent ones

The letter also calls on the broadcaster to implement a series of editorial commitments including “reiterating that Israel does not give external journalists access to Gaza; making it clear when there is insufficient evidence to back up Israeli claims; making clear where Israel is the perpetrator in article headlines; including regular historical context predating October 2023; and robustly challenging Israeli government and military representatives in all interviews”.

i love eating pion fruit

Once you see Farquad, I think “who is the princess in Shrek that wears green?” You would assume they’re a matching costume. I’m not saying it’s a flawless recreation, but it shouldn’t be hard to see what she’s going for. I wouldn’t shit on it is all.

or they didn’t have internet dweebs like us judge the competition lol

Those r some crazy nitpicks for a halloween costume tbh:
