came to post this. was not disappointed someone beat me to it.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly I thought thats what it meant at first for some reason lol.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago (2 children)

For me, it was simply that "BASIC" was spelled in capital letters. That's generally how you spell it when referring to the programming language...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right? I was thinking the syntax was wrong (space in GoTo) and the og would not have accepted a string as a jump location.

I hope the things you like get mistaken in the news as white supremacist-related, then nazis all pile on until nobody can enjoy it any more.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 10 months ago

It's usually the other way around. The nazis slowly corrupt a community that consists mostly of one of their target groups, pushing out people who are aware of their dogwhistles because, well, they're clearly nazis, and is not going to recognize that or listen to you, as they wouldn't make a good target group otherwise.

Then, if they succeed, at some point it gets bad enough that the media notices, after which the nazis go "look at the silly liberals, thinking everyone is racist these days" and get a lot more open, thereby pushing out the last few people who were initially oblivious to there fascism, or forcing them to endure fascist rethoric to enjoy their hobby's community.

K-On is one of my favorite guilty pleasure shows, and for some reason saying that now makes people suspect I'm a Nazi.

I ain't letting them have this one. It's a stupid show about high schoolers drinking tea and playing music, dammit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

wtf what is the relation between k-on and nazis??

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago

Memes. They hijack pop culture and turn it into a dogwhistle, like if you've seen people randomly saying "is that a jojos reference?" underneath some worryingly bigoted comment on youtube, they're trying to indicate that they're a fellow right wing asshole. For a long time "subscribe to pewdiepie" was used. Both references had some nazi connection, like jojos had a nazi character, and pewdiepie flirted with nazi stuff in a deniable way.

The point is that it's silly and innocuous so that if anybody tries to call it out then they can just gaslight them and point out how silly it is, and they're clearly making something out of nothing.

Aren't the main characters gay coated in that show?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago (2 children)

"Gay coated" is just an amazing eggcorn that I have never heard before.

So eggcorns are misheard phrases that are then reinterpreted in a way that still makes sense in context, and that video makes the point that they're not actually wrong, and sometimes they can compete with the original phrase.

The original term is "gay coded", as in the creators have used commonly recognised "code" to signal that the characters are gay.

But I actually love the idea that they're just slathered in the gay, just lubed up head to toe.

Never apologise for gay coating.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

I've always seen this referred to as "bone apple teas" for many years, but "eggcorn" is a better single-word term for it.

And that was a good video, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'd say they're different to bone apple tea because that's a nonsense phrase whereas these could conceivably stand in for the original.

Eggcorn in particular has somewhat replaced acorn in a region of the US where those words sound the same, and the reason it's not wrong is because it is a corn - a seed - and it does have an egg shape in it, so "eggcorn" is descriptively accurate.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Gay-coded, but yes, and it was directed by a woman working at one of Japan's most employee-friendly studios.

But Nazis aren't really famous for their intelligence.

Happens to me all the time with music. Be jamming out to a song I've loved for years, right when my fav. artist dropped the album. Then tiktok plays the one hook from one song on their album and people always ask "Oh! Did you hear that on tikTok?!" .... No...no....no 🙄

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

Oh, no

Oh, no

Oh, no, no, no, no, no

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

That has happened to me so much in recent years, both with clipped songs and bands/artists I like becoming popular. I don't hold myself with any music pretention, and the vast majority of my "underground" discoveries are just random chance and Spotify algorithm. There is no way I have found to explain "no, I've been listening to them since [insert album]" that hasn't been met with some form of hipster comment.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"I'm not intentionally trying to be better than you, I just happen to be better than you at finding good music on my own"

Oh wait you said not be met with a hipster comment

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I mean, there's definitely a skill to finding new good music. I'm not very good at it but I wish I was, it's kind of difficult.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

My experience has been different. There's such a wealth of good music out there that I hardly know where to stop. Almost every time I see an artist perform, I want to buy their album.

Now, finding new good music that's also popular is another thing.

Or maybe I legit have bad taste in music, but if so I'm ok with that because I'm having fun.

Back in the 90s, saying the earth was flat meant you were open to talking through hypothetical science and creating wild theories. You knew the truth, but you never wanted to break kafabe. The sheer sillyness was part of the fun.

Today, saying the earth is flat means youre a flat out moron who lacks other critical thinking skills. It's a warning sign that you also have other troubling thoughts.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Flat earth was so much fun until all of them got roped into Q.

See, this is what I thought we were doing back then too, but I've got a different hypothesis. I believe many of the people we were talking to back then actually really did believe it. I don't think people were any more level-headed back then than they are now -- we just assumed they were joking because that's what we were doing.

My friend flipped when the first ever acknowledgement of Mistborn outside it's own books was Kelsier as a guest character in Fortnite. It was like targeted harassment. I like Mistborn too but it didn't bother me.

Holy shit I think I blocked this one from my memory. Seriously, now big could the overlap between mistborn fans and fortnite players possibly be?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

It's because the author is friends with one of the lead guys over at Epic in charge of the game. They cycle through so many characters that they just start asking their friends for ideas I guess.

GOTO Hell isn’t correct and will lead to a syntax error

20 GOTO 4311 is technically correct but you’re actually going to hell for writing your script this way.

I remember when gaming and D&D were niche interests. They got popular, and now look at them. 😩

[–] [email protected] 62 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You can actually find a group that manages to play with some regularity?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 10 months ago

No, that's still an issue somehow 🤷🏻‍♂️

Really? For me it's exactly the same as before critroll. "Anyone want to play? Sure I'll DM. See y'all this weekend!"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

For gaming I see your point, it looks like everything as to be a money grab nowaday which greatly reduce the quality of a lot of games.

For ttrpg I don't feel like it though. Sure Wizard of the Coast/Hasbro has gone to shit but I left the D&D train a long time ago already. And the amount of other very good and accessible system is amazing. IMO The only thing "bad" that this new popularity bring is players with wrong expectations. Some expect every games and every DM to be of the same quality as Critical Roll or other well known podcast, some exept to find "video games" mechanic like in baldur's gate, some are trying to force the meme stuff inside the game, ect.

It's happened to everyone. I'm sorry, but it would either be too effective or do no damage.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

“Enjoy the next 24 hours”

sounds like a threat even though it can mean the same thing as “have a nice day”
