Lemmy isn’t social media. It’s a forum.

Inb4, people are dumb and think no drought means water everywhere.

Drought is literally bottom of the barrel, so no shit it’s good news. The fact that it’s evenly distributed across the massive state of California is even better news. Of course it doesn’t mean they haven’t had lots of rain in previous years.

Yeah literally the only thing I wish my MBA has is more USB-C ports and on the right side. And who the hell needs a fucking cd drive in a laptop?

Portals already violate the laws of thermodynamics. We’re arguing about whether gravity would work here.

Kick em in the fucking balls for fucks sake.

The gravity is going down parallel to the portal opening though, so both portals have the same gravity direction, the only thing speeding you up is the slide

But that’s not how “toxic”ism works. Like you’re not a toxic person if you do some toxic things some of the time. You’re a toxic person if you do it all the time or the majority of the time. Everyone says sexuality is a scale, that doesn’t mean you’re straight if you’re not 100% gay. There are some parts of you that do one thing, but you’re to other side of the scale.

There’s not a rule, it’s just a “sounds correct”. Because English doesn’t have rules, it has exceptions.

Cambridge even uses the word “normally” lol. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/adjectives-order

And here’s a fun stackexchange link where people argue about the order (since there isn’t a rule, it’s all made up). https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/1155/what-is-the-rule-for-adjective-order

One good quote from that link:

@cori - the fascinating linguistic point is that native speakers will have subconsciously inferred a rule like this without it ever being stated. The "rule" is really an observation of what they do. All languages and dialects consist of such unconscious rules. – Nathan Long Commented Apr 16, 2013 at 15:25
