Everyone could see it coming, but not everyone can afford to leave the country. Enjoy being smug I guess.

There are different things I like about them… 🤔 I really like the way PieFed merges crossposts together, although I wish it could be smarter at "noticing" identical posts that weren't actually crossposted.

But then, I really like "Scaled" sorting, and Lemmy's seems way better to me. (I couldn't begin to tell you why.) I also like having more choice of Android apps on Lemmy, but I'm sure that'll change quickly enough.

So I guess it might depend on how development goes on both platforms?

It's only going to get worse! 🥳

Because I already started using Mastodon.World years ago, then Lemmy.World, and now Piefed.World. 🤷‍♂️

Busuu for language learning. It's like Duolingo, but the main difference is that it actually teaches you the grammar, instead of just making you memorise random sentences. It also has some audio and video of native speakers, at least on the Japanese course. And each module ends with a prompt where you freely write or speak your answer (e.g., "What do you like to eat?") in your target language, and then it gets graded/corrected by native speakers in the community.

And for Japanese kanji specifically, WaniKani. Nothing else I've ever tried has helped with kanji, but their writing style and off-the-wall mnemonics honestly make it so much easier. And you get the first three levels for free, which is actually tons of content.

Might just send them this meme.

I loved the phrase "JPEG of thought" in that article 😅 Thanks for the interesting link.

It'd be called Great British Mail, because we're only allowed to do things that pander to Reformtwats now

I just checked their style guide (it's an Autistic fascination of mine 😅)… funnily enough, they specifically recommend using "far-right" over "alt-right". But they don't have an entry for "far-right", and I couldn't find any mention of "hard right".

“alt-right”
use once and in quotes at first mention; use far right at any subsequent mentions. Note: far right (noun) and far-right (adjective). More specific descriptions can be used where relevant when mentioning individuals associated with the movement, but such descriptions should be evidence-based.

Maybe we should assign these fuckers playing cards like Bush did 👀

The article doesn't even include the word "daughter"… OP, has it changed since you posted it?

Don't forget to force them to do sports, martial arts, Scouting, etc., against their will. Being around their most athletic peers will fix the gay thoughts for sure.
