easy block potential, a dude tagging people from past arguments to rampage about how “Europe is bad actually!” or whatever the fuck nonsense they were arguing about… cherry picking contentious bill proposals and presenting it as some sort of evidence… the mental acuity of a teenager and none of the meme potential. yea I’m gonna get out ahead of this one and make sure you dont randomly tag me on shit either. easy block
i used to think dragons were cool before Drag came along
Great answer! Presence on reddit leads to presence on lemmy. Why present on reddit: linguistic proximity, population size, type of social media access
i edit my comments 3-5 times after posting them because i keep adding info and correcting statements and drafting what i’m thinking lol. the first reply is literally just a “save draft” button for me. like i actually have to pay attention to how recently the parent comment was written to gauge how likely it is they’ll read my reply before it’s done. i have issues
EDIT: im not editing this one
also i think there’s a window of time within which you can edit your comment and it wont notate the edit. so no need to explain it!
To be clear, native Germans are far better at English than most Americans are at this point.
honestly from a linguistic perspective this is so painfully inaccurate. you’re talking about native speakers here. what you might mean to say is that Germans use English closer to how the Brits use it. that is a defensible statement. but you’re doing something different.
just because native speakers change how they use their own language, they aren’t doing it “worse”. they are adapting their tongue to their needs. one’s mother language is deeply tied to identity, and cultural identities grow and shift through time. to say that their identity is “worse” is certainly a statement you could make, but you see the violence inherent in it, right?
who knows, there’s plenty of criticisms to make of Americans. i probably have more than the average. but i’m not really comfortable with putting down entire groups of people based on how they use their mother tongue. and i’m certainly not going to try to pass off criticism of a culture as a statement of measurement like “you are bad at X”
oh i believe it. it died down a lot when koreans picked up league of legends though lol. i never got into SC myself but it looks like a ridiculously fun and addictive game
hope we don’t have much drama here yet

you haven’t found the blohaj gang yet? trans linux communists is like lemmy in a nutshell
who doesn’t like movies!
do we have a gardening subreddit? surely they also have some plants indoors
You’re still American though… if you go abroad and tell people you’re German, you’re going to be giving a world of false assumptions. Why would it be any different on the internet?
no MY comment is dumb
this is so cool, you will definitely see me there either every day or never or maybe once in a while

oh I loved that sub in reddit! cool beans
we gotta start broad and move local only as the population grows. so for example instead of Columbus you gotta start with Ohio. maybe Pittsburgh can hang out too
English, French, Spanish, Korean, Mandarin, probably a few others I’m forgetting, I’m not good with translating numbers into sounds, I’d probably have more on the list if you ask me what languages i can say “it’s okay” in, oh yeah i got the itchy knee I can do Japanese too. I think I learned Thai at some point before I gave up on their alphabet.
also counting in different romance languages is lame, show me how many language FAMILIES you can count in. oh shit you got the Bantu! oh yeah I can also do turkish
