Habit is one hell of a thing.

Also for a lot of people, their social circle is partly there.

i.e. I use discord because my partners do so even if I know that it sucks.

Fascists: I want systemic violence against anyone that isn’t a white cis het man.

Leftists: I want violence against people who advocate for systemic violence against marginalised groups.

Absolutely undistinguishable :p

Your beloved democratic party

I was under the impression that the democrats were pretty much universally hated here and the question was wether or not to hold our collective noses and still vote for them in face of a greater evil or not.

It was tongue in cheek.

I genuinely love that movie.

Jurassic Park was one lie after another.

And the tyrannosaurus rex lived closer to said moon landing than to time the stegosaurus existed too.

These rules are made by botanists.

A berry is a fleshy fruit without a pit produced by a single flower containing a single ovary.

This definition is different from the colloquial culinary one which refers to anything small, growing on a small plant or bush and without a pit.

Yeah and they grow in the ground too.

A distinction that I find more entertaining than the fruit/veggie one is the berry category.

• blueberry: not a berry
• blackberry: nuh-uh
• Strawberry: you’re an accessory fruit
• banana: yup, totally a berry
• watermelon: go for it

That’s nuts

Durian would’ve been a fruitable :p

Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.

Yeah but what if your option is objectively better even if not anyone has your exact usage?

refrains real hard from proselytizing

Omg I have no clue how you understood anything from my previous comment.

It was such a mess lmao

iff is the shorthand for “if and only if”.

If you said “if it is a horse it has hooves” you can infer “all horses have hooves” but not that “all hooved creatures are horses”.

Otoh if you said “iff a polygon has 3 sides, it is a triangle” you can infer that all polygons that have 3 sides are triangles and that there are no other ways to make triangles.

edit: This was typed by sleep deprived me, I tried to fix it.

Iffs in the wild make me happy.

Yeah, it doesn’t even sound that out of place in informal conversation.

As a young lass excited for an amazing carrier opportunity? I might.

What a weird ass way to phrase that question.

Brazil?

/r/CatsStandingUp: cat.

Wow it’s been awhile since I saw anything remotely referring to brony culture. It was a fun subgenre of culture n_n

(was as in I’m less exposed to it nowadays. I hope it’s alive and kicking)
