Was that their expectation of you, or just a common religious interpretation?

I know plenty of people who use the term and have no care for the religious history of it.

Welp. I guess that makes sense. They have a much broader audience and utility than a gaming console. Probably higher margins too.

You know… as common as it is to label and group and classify people online, I just don’t think that generally works the vast majority of the time.

Insurance companies don’t bill people as adults until 26 because our brains don’t finish developing fully until then and we make poorer choices in a statistically significant way until then.

So while the legal age of adulthood is often late teens to early twenties, the reality is you still probably act young in a way that older people pick up on.

When I was 21 I felt like I was an adult. But I wasn’t even finished growing, and looking back from 40 I was young and dumb and it was obvious to everyone but me.

That’s pretty neat, but photosynthesis separates that bond without using heat right?

There are many different accents across the US.

Some of them very much pronounce the word “than” like others pronounce the word “then”.

That’s not really how language… or humans… or culture… work.

This is a common mistake for many native English speakers and highlights the different challenges in speaking a language and writing a language.

In many regions of the US for example, “than” and “then” are often pronounced exactly the same.

than…

Yeah, if anyone should be shot, it would be that kind of person of course.

I went to kbin.social during the Reddit api exodus, and when that fell apart I had seen enough of lemmy through federated content to know that was where to go.

I had no idea that was a nose. I always thought it was a mouth.

His name is The Funk btw, and I guarantee he just wants to sit in your lap and get chin scritches.

While I have close to zero trust in MSFT and event much dislike a lot of m365, teams isn’t actually that bad and loop is really good.

Wow what a great use case.

I’m pretty excited about that! I loved Warcraft II and never got into any of the warcrafts that came after though, and haven’t had great experiences with Wc2 on modern hardware.

So I’d probably pay for a remaster.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing.

If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state-sponsored spam.

While he certainly wasn’t sensitive about how he said it, he did state is was sanctions related.

All it takes is reading the article to see why it was done. You clearly did not do that and instead inserted your own agenda.

My “office” is a network of interconnected multi-story buildings. It’s actually really convenient for me to know if I need to go meet someone in person or just use video.

Sometimes we have a room booked ahead of time and I learn they are wfh when I get to the empty room.
