They’re imagining the community (the subreddit) as a space one enters by navigating to the community’s main page, and “leaving” it is going to do other things.


A major difference I noticed with Lemmy from my time on Reddit is communities aren’t quite as rabid about strict adherence to their topic or gimmick. r/whatisthisthing banned me for seven days once for elaborating what an E6B flight computer is for. Because “This community is for IDENTIFYING the thing, not DISCUSSING the thing!” Not…so much of that around here.


I suspect getting pissed off is the point.


One of the rules of that community is “post before you leave.” People put “rule” in the post to indicate they’re complying with that rule.

Do NOT mention Nicole.
Wait, shi-


I have a flashlight in my pocket.


What it would look like is a badly themed badly optimized front end that isn’t in the App store, was recently removed from the Play store, with a rape awful name like CLIT or CL Isn’t Tinder or LibreMeetCute and a nonsense icon. It would rapidly become recognized as the engine used by the huge number of extremely sketchy personals sites that popped up all of a sudden that contain only virtual prostitutes. It would also be the engine that powers Truth Romance. It would have the worst Github issues page in human history.


“Goodbye” used to mean that, though we’ve started to take it to mean “our relationship is permanently severed, I expect to never communicate with you again in my life.” Which, kind of amazing we felt the need to have a word for that.


“Twelve ninety-nine, first window.” is what usually happens. I’m not the kind of dork that repeats it as “One Two Decimal Niner Niner.” The ham bands are full of geezers that’ll happily play that game with me if I want.
So, per the Pilot/Controller Glossary, “OVER” means “My transmission ended; I expect a response.” Because the communique at the speaker is finished and I don’t expect a response, “OUT” would be more appropriate, meaning “Conversation is over, I expect no response.” Though on the air you’ll often hear “Good day” which isn’t in the P/CG but I think is nicer.


I use a dishwasher. It’s easier and uses less water.


I’m a pilot. At a drive through, I read back the price as a matter of reflex.


I think a better quote would be
Many were increasingly of the opinion that they’d all made a big mistake coming down from the trees in the first place, and some said that even the trees had been a bad move and that no one should ever have left the oceans.


I picked up a thing that just now came out of early access, called The Farmer Has Been Replaced(). It’s a Python coding game, you’re given a grid-based farm and a drone that runs Python code you write for it to plant, water, harvest etc. crops. It’s a decent little coding exercise, not the worst way to learn Python.


There was actually a tape format called VCR. Made by Phillips, I believe it was the first video tape system that recorded a high quality signal in color available to consumers. It was test marketed in the PAL regions, proving to have reliability issues, and then JVC launched VHS later that year and Phillips gave up.


They did later reduce the Ti-84 Silver to 48K. Still…idiots.


The Ti-83 Plus Silver Edition and early models of the Ti-84 Plus Silver Edition had 128K of RAM, upgraded from the typical 28 or 48 that the 83 Plus or 84 Plus had. But the additional RAM was impossible to use as the OS had not been altered to address it.


Trackpad looked wrong is why I went PS4, but yeah you’re probably right.


“Researchers surveyed 1,000 women of all ages across the UK who play mobile games.”

Poifect.
I think you’ll find that community is exactly that. I forget which it is, I’ve long since blocked it.
