Never thought about it like that actually, that’s good.

But if something is “literally like” alleging else, does that not just equate to similar too since the literal definition of similar is to be like something else?

The worst part of that most wanted is that its called most wanted. It’s a great game but it’s name causes it to create comparisons to the og most wanted which for most, myself included, have big nostalgia for

Hot pursuit is like a polished high budget hypothetical burnout 2.5 remake

It’s fantasy, not sci-fi though

For the UK one it’s just tied to your email address to prevent duplicates, and you just input your name and physical address which will be used to confirm you’re actually a citizen.

They can still release their bespoke parts without any of the third party licensed stuff. Even without instructions on what needs to be gotten and put back in. It’d allow the smarter guys in the community have a headstart to figuring it out anyway. Most licensed software can be replaced, look at the recent decomps like the Lego island one.

Does it not stop you from signing multiple times? The UK one tells you you’ve already signed it when you try again. I tried it again recently in case i was misremembering signing the second petition after the first one was misunderstood completely by the uk government.

I miss fireworks. For me that was the best. I’ve never jived with Photoshop or is alternatives.

I have since landed on krita, aseprite and inkscape. But i still miss the workflow I got used to with fireworks.

They’re meant to be more funny in a sense that you can relate to them as you’ve been in such situations and can now have the catharsis that you’re not alone in those experiences. And as people usually do with such situations that are awful in the moment, you laugh at them in hindsight.

That’s the intention of such cringe humour. Maybe the ones you listed have elements that relate more to your life than the ones you dislike? Or maybe they remind you of moments where the above just cannot apply to your emotional experience of them, and so they cannot be funny.

Gotta laugh or else you’ll cry-ahh humour

Minimising is what should be done in situations like this. Perfect is the enemy of good.

You can come a complaint of inaccuracy on the BBC website. If you have the time to do so, do so. Stating they were antisemitic is slander and misinformed.

Proper grammar means shit all in English, unless you’re worrying for a specific style, in which you follow the grammar rules for that style.

Standard English has such a long list of weird and contradictory rules with nonsensical exceptions, that in every day English, getting your point across in communication is better than trying to follow some more arbitrary rules.

Which become even more arbitrary as English becomes more and more a melting pot of multicultural idioms and slang. Although I’m saying that as if that’s a new thing, but it does feel like a recent thing to be taught that side of English rather than just “The Queen’s(/King’s) English” as the style to strive for in writing and formal communication.

I say as long as someone can understand what you’re saying, your English is correct. If it becomes vague due to mishandling of the classic rules of English, then maybe you need to follow them a bit. I don’t have a specific science to this.

Obligatory Lemmy is social media response

Take no heed. Americans only think politics extend as far as their two party system and think it’s binary too.

(I know I’m generalising and not all Americans are as I described here)

I check Reddit like 5-10 minutes a week max and usually only if i land there via searches and just do a quick gloss over anything ive potentially missed. But compare that to the hours a week in habitually using lemmy (for better and/or worse i guess haha)

That’s bonkers, in the UK I’m technically disabled because i have tinnitus and ADHD. (I still work like anyone else, but I have protected rights because of my status)

I’m in the same block built boat as you. I always vehemently defend this game since finding out the general gaming public don’t like it.
