  • Bad service is truly timeless!

  • No, but I'm sure we'd all love to see it if you can find an image!

  • Speaking of which, I have another example in my folder

  • "Victory over the Picts, enemies destroyed; game safely"

  • A reference to the game Disco Elysium (really fantastically written, absurd and poignant in equal measure).

  • Must be a low volition option :p

  • They can be. I mean, I don't think xe is inherently less legitimate as a word. But I do think it's ugly and unnecessary, as are neopronouns in general. I have similarly pedantic opinions on things like 'irregardless'.

    If someone asked me to use 'xe' I would out of courtesy, but I would much prefer we all come together and agree that the singular they is the best choice for the job.

    It became known as a very trans-friendly shitposting subreddit and honestly probably one of the better shitposting subreddits in general.

    Now it's migrated at least partially to the Fediverse.

  • Thanks, I'll try adding that

  • Damn. I wish I was more Lemmy-literate so I could fix it.

  • I'm team "USS Constitution Is A Battlecruiser"
