That would be so awesome if it were open-sourced!

I mean in the technical sense, so shells ≠ cartridges, and sure they might be capable of it, but it is not really a thing that happens often enough for it to be a normal thing.

It’s not even over-analyzing. A revolver does not take shells; they use cartridges, which are not shells. That’s just a simple fact.

One that is designed for revolvers, not shotguns? (And yes, I know about revolver shotguns, but those are mainly just a gimmick and not really ever used in most contexts. I’m talking about handgun revolvers.)

Lol.

…You know, thinking about it, I think you’re right. After all, artillery uses shells, and they’re not exactly buckshot, those things. Lol.

I don’t. I was making fun of this post.

It is using the age-old “girls vs boys” trope, and therefore juvenile.

Yeah, that’s not what cisgender or any variant thereof means.

Also, we’re describing a stereotype, not saying it’s true. Don’t shift blame or topic.

Now you’re just playing stupid, obviously to troll, a game I am not willing to play.

Goodbye.

Oh whoops. Thanks. He he.

Wow, fucking rude. Some people mix up similar-looking characters in their heads, you dolt.

It’s not Lemmy; it’s the instance you’re using.

Prescriptivism vs descriptivism.

The technical definition is as I described above.

It’s only been expanded in common dictionaries because the dictionaries practice descriptivism, i.e. they reflect not what is the best definition, but how it’s most often used.

In other words, just because it’s in the dictionary doesn’t mean the word means that in a technical context; it just means that’s how it’s commonly meant when used in everyday parlance.

EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted,

Exactly!

I mean, if you look in dictionaries, you’ll see both definitions, but as I said to another user in this thread, dictionaries include a definition because it is common, not because it is accurate. Just look up the term “literal”; most common dictionaries define it as meaning either “literal” or “figurative”.

Words exist fundamentally to communicate something; if a term is defined so as to be ambiguous, it has failed in that purpose.

I used to think it’s boring. I still do, but not so much ever since I learned it was invented by the Scottish.

Not sure about the similarities here, but I actually love GTK when it comes to app design. It’s one of the things I miss about Linux in Windows. (Yes, I’m a Windows user—not by choice, though.) About the only thing I hate about it is that for some reason a lot of GTK app designers think a simpler design should mean less functionality. Gimme my damn right-click context menus dammit! >_<

I do not understand the problem with this image.

Would you please explain?

I think it’s because there’s already been a few in close succession so it might be seen as a concerted effort to promote a political position on the topic of abortion.

I’m not a mod, so this is just an idea.
