I think every word ever started out as something that was nonsense to everyone, except the first two people who used that word.

In all things I yearn for the past. Modern fashions seem to keep on growing more and more debased. I find that even among the splendid pieces of furniture built by our master cabinetmakers, those in the old forms are the most pleasing. And as for writing letters, surviving scraps from the past reveal how superb the phrasing used to be. The ordinary spoken language has also steadily coarsened. People used to say "raise the carriage shafts" "raise it" or "trim it."When they should say, "Let the men of the palace staff stand forth!" they say, "Torches! Let's have some light!" Instead of calling the place where the lectures on the Sutra of the Golden Light are delivered before the emperor "the Hall of the Imperial Lecture," they shorten it to "the Lecture Hal", a deplorable corruption, an old gentleman complained.

I just joined every sub that vaguely reminded me of their reddit equivalents. Apparently I joined that one and this one.

What games can you recommend that didn't get the appreciation that they deserved?
Mad Max. Not the best game ever, but much better than I expected.

Parents used to warn their kids that literature would rot their brains. Then it was the radio, TV, and video games. Now it's TikTok.

I spend a lot of time on TikTok and once the algorithm knows what you like it's a fantastic way to waste your time, the same way reddit and YouTube are.

What is your opinion on men that make use of sex worker services?

In the Netherlands some people with handicaps like muscular dystrophy can apply for reimbursement for "sex care".
In those cases I think it might be a good thing.

I dunno man, my TikTok algorithm is about the wokest, most informative news feed amongst them all.
Sometimes they try something new, and I have to train the algorithm a little again, but nothing too annoying.

Holy shit, I did the same thing. I hadn't heard from Klein in a couple of years and when I read something about Wolf I was really surprised, thinking it was that No Logo writer.

How much do you fear "contamination"?
Even though I'm a raging hypochondriac, I am not a germophobe. Funny how that works.

(Firefox) How do I change what happens if I click on a link on Lemmy's homepage?
Reply in thread
Maybe it's because my middle mouse button is wonky, sometimes it scrolls when I try to click. I just don't like it.
But the main reason I ask is that I don't get what makes some pages behave different; and what if I'd like to be able to make it act just the way I want? It's just one of those things.

I think the problem that needs to be solved is the distribution of wealth and how we value people the moment they aren't producing stuff for their bosses. I just read that back and realize I'm a Marxist.

How come rust built up on iron things looks like a thick crust, but somehow when it's removed it's like there's nothing gone from the original?
Reply in thread
Thank you for your answer. I guess I could've done some more research myself, but I was also interested if I wasn't the only one who wondered about it.
I keep getting these videos on TikTok where someone finds an old axe, completely caked in thick layers of rust, and at the end of their magic you can sometimes even see the stamp of the original maker. Truly baffling.

YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads.

If I had to choose, I'd swap my Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions for YouTube. I think I watch YouTube videos about three times as much as Netflix and Disney.
