Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you feel sad about the fact that you'll probably die within 100 years (or less) and you (well... that's most of us tbh) can't do much to leave a significant positive legacy?English
3·2 months agoThe desire to leave a legacy is really a desire for immortality-lite. I think that if you truly overcome your fear of death, you’ll get over this. I’m more interested in knowing what happens next, and how it all works. I’m slightly salty that I will never get those answers.

IMO jokes about the barbaric, ongoing, and unnecessary practice of male genital mutilation just aren’t any funnier than jokes about FGM.

Don’t get me wrong, they can be pretty, but these designs are going to age like milk.
IMHO [Fedora Kinoite] (https://fedoraproject.org/atomic-desktops/kinoite/) is this for people who don’t want a gaming-focused OS.
And also, Friendica is not easy to use for new users, documentation isn’t great, the very best theme is meh in terms of appearance and usability, and there are severe performance issues preventing large instances from being functional. This is coming from someone who really likes Friendica and wants it to succeed.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Maybe getting a Scottish penpal wasn't the best choice for English practice...
3·1 year agoScots shares many words with English, and many words that look like they are English words spelled differently are indeed distinct Scots words, like gie, wi, aheid, heid / heed, oot, pairt, whit, et cetera. Scots also has a ton of regional dialects, and is spelled phonetically, so spellings can vary widely. There is also literary Scots vs spoken Scots. The Scots on Wikipedia for example is not the sort of Scots you’d usually hear someone speaking, or not at least that I’ve ever heard. Scots vs English as used today is often more of a spectrum than a clear distinction for these reasons. Like, sure, you can write in such a way that 99% of the words are not recognizeable to someone who doesn’t know Scots, but a sentence could also contain words that work in either language and still be considered Scots because those words are shared. There is also writer intention: a writer may use the English spelling of a word, whereas they’d use the Scots version in speech. Likely a result of the fact that for years, Scots speakers have been punished for speaking and writing Scots in schools, as a part of an intentional attempt at erasure of the language. This is where we get features like the “apologetic apostrophe,” which further muddies the waters, making it as though Scots writers are writing ‘English with an accent.’
IMO, I’d definitely call the language in this post Scots. Also, note the distinct Scots grammar: “I’m fair scunnered” vs “I’m fairly annoyed.”

In much the same way that sneezing can be ascribed to a cold, it depends on frequency and severity.
Lol no, you don’t typically need life support to sleep.
For me, the machine was on a table beside the bed at least.
