Nemesis. Named by my dog that absolutely hates it.

Don’t you put that evil on me. That sounds like a decent approximation of hell.

conciselyverbose,

Yeah, I'd rather be deaf.

One subject I could manage (psychology/AI if it has to be nonfiction or mysteries if fiction counts), but not one voice.

Does your vacuum talk a lot?

uriel238, in Why does America say 'merry christmas'?
@uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

I think Merry Christmas is a harken to antiquated dialect, much like other religious phrases. Thou shalt not kill or Thy will be done or extra Ecclesiam nulla salus

MonsterMonster, in Why does America say 'merry christmas'?

UK here… Merry Christmas, yes. Happy Christmas, yes. Happy Holidays, no, no, no and just for effect no.

GarrulousBrevity,

What if you don’t intend to see someone before New Year’s and want to wish them a happy New Year as well, while being lazy?

I really don’t get this hatred for “Happy Holidays”, because even if you want to discredit the non Christian holidays in December/January, there are still two…

I think some people (usually right wing Americans who watched too much Fox News back in the 2000s) are opposed to "happy holidays" because they don't want to acknowledge other religions.

And then there are snobby Europeans who hate and avoid the phrase because it sounds "too American".

TheGalacticVoid,

Is everybody Christian to you?

Khanzarate, in Unused Airtag slot

Poker chip maybe.

You can also get a custom AirTag skin and put that skin around something else (probably the poker chip, or a broken AirTag) to have a perfectly sized photo for the slot.

Candelestine, in What's the consensus on swearing here

I swear a lot more irl than I do on here. A lot of a swears value is in the tone you deliver it in, that’s kinda how you communicate which variation/definition of “fuck” you’re actually using, of the huge number of possibilities. This opens up possibilities for humor, expressing subtle (or not so subtle) emotion, etc.

On here, since I lack that fine control, I tend to just revert to using it as an exclamation. And I just don’t do that often, I don’t use exclamation marks very often either.

It just lacks the same value. That’s all, really.

Boiglenoight, in What's the consensus on swearing here

$&@! it.

smashboy, in If you could only listen to someone talk about one topic for the rest of your life, what would it be, and why?

Animal behavior. I never get bored learning about biology and specifically, all the interesting behaviors that animals have learned to reach their goals. Like elaborate mating dances, or long distance communication of whales.

Gormadt, in People who have made and successfully kept their New Year's resolution, what was it and how did you stay motivated?

To hike more than the previous year

I got quite a bit more than last year, literally hiked through my shoes. Well more that I put the final touches on hiking through my shoes. I got about 500 miles of dedicated hiking done this year. I’m hoping to do more this year but I’m going to include morning walks as a part of that number.

I hike to be free from the chaos of life (and my memories) and this year was a doozy. So the external factors pushed me to hike more and honestly I think it was a boon on my mental health.

Being out in nature is so pleasant on my mind and allows me to truly be me.

10/10 would watch the clouds float by all day again

Stick Season by Noah Kahan

Not a type of music I listen to a lot, but I’ve had this song on repeat recently
