Is such a fucking irony that factoid itself has become a factoid for "bit of trivia"

I've been saying this since I watched a video on the history of dictionaries in elementary school (I heard that the I before e except after c rule was made by a guy trying to discredit Shakespeare and got interested)

I'm so glad I've been seeing this type of stuff on lemmy. It's refreshing to see people actually understand that these are just recordings of words and how they're spelt and pronounced (with bias and purposeful edits) rather than an actual hard line in the sand.

Edit: holy fucking shit I can't type

It's the developers of the software itself, not the hosts of any particular instanve.

Lol, this was what I was going to link to

Yeah I've considered leaving Lemmy because of who is in charge of development right now. They were not ready for its sudden burst in popularity and are not handling it well.

Fucking neat

As an alcoholic, you cannot help someone who doesn't want help. It's a disease that grabs ahold of your mind and tells you to do things you actively don't want to do. It's hard to explain how you can just NOT want to be drunk today but then do it anyways. How you can know you're hurting the people around you and still do it anyways. Both of my parents were violent alcoholics, but as I've grown and dealt with the issues of addiction myself, I've learned to have empathy for them.

Whatever you do, don't marry this person unless you're 100% sure you can deal with this disease. It may get better but it will definitely get worse for a time. There is no "former alcoholic". There are only alcoholics who choose not to take the first drink.

I hate to say something so harsh but it's the truth. I'm glad my girlfriend has endured me but I'm trying. There was a time I was downing 2 pints of bacardi gold every day, waking up and filling my coffee cup with it and drinking all day, sometimes passing out, waking up and drinking some more. I've cut back but I made.the decision myself. My girlfriend definitely pushed me in that direction and I'm not trying to take credit away from her trying, but everyday I make that decision myself.

You can push your fiance, but they have to make that decision. Everyday.

I don't understand why we can't use about:config in the default version.

They rebuilt the mobile browser, if I'm not mistaken. It's why the extensions stopped for a long time.

My phone carrier started giving out HBO with the plan I've had for a decade now, otherwise I would have dropped them
