Pretty sure it's actually one of those mistakes that is made more often by native speakers than non-native speakers

ITT: Awful linguistics takes

I mean they just defederated from two of the biggest instances (including lemmy.world) and have the largest list of blocked instances of any instance

That's true, but with Lemmy being new (or at least a lot of its instances, communities, and users are), local and all can be helpful for discovering communities to subscribe to.

Is it just me that has literally never heard anyone bring up the colour of bubbles irl? Like I've seen people talk about it on the internet from time to time but never in the real world.

I am the newer generations though

The other thing is that Discord search is god awful. There's absolutely no way to modify your search for better results, whether that's to require something to appear exactly as typed, or to exclude certain results, it's just you put in the words and hope you get the right thing. Sometimes that works out, but sometimes it will make the dumbest connections and render your search useless unless you want to trawl through pages of crap you don't want. Like I've found out that Discord considers the words universal, universe, and university to be the same...

I have an Alesha commander deck (like any good trans person) so I'm pretty partial to [[Master of Cruelties]] (although ik it's not really a biggun, it can definitely make a splash)

People writing of instead of 've is pretty well attested before Siri even existed so I doubt that has much to do with it

How is it promoting monolingualism and apparently Alzheimer's to want to have non-English spaces on the internet.

oooh, i really liked SOUR so I'm pretty excited to see what she does next

It's not exclusively for Arena but you might want to check out ![email protected], (the instance is also dedicated to Magic so you might find some more active communities on there in general)

ooh wasn't expecting anything new from her so soon after The Loneliest Time dropped but it's definitely welcome and I'm really excited

SearXNG personally

Thanks!

I pronounce it as basically blow high

I feel like that's kind of biased coming from someone who (presumably at least) natively speaks a language that is very closely related to English. You might tell me that they're still relatively different, and you wouldn't be completely wrong about that, but there are languages that are much more different from English than German. There isn't such a thing as objective difficulty of a language, it's all relative. English certainly isn't easy for everyone.

Oh didn't know about that card actually, I'll definitely have to see if I can fit it into one of my decks.

Sidenote: cool that we have mtgcardfetcher on here, definitely makes discussions about cards easier

I mean 196 can genuinely get pretty weird about this stuff sometimes (or at least the subreddit does, idk about what's going on on lemmy)
