I think how well sync was made is why I got so addicted to reddit in the first place. I use redreader now for reddit and it's a major reason I'm over there way less often. Just not as enjoyable.

They just assume that because they continue to see anyone, that they are still seeing everyone.

I understand when most people have this thought on lemmy. But you know you're on a reddit community, right? This place is dedicated to talking about reddit.

This is the case with anything to do with health. And often the best feelings are when some form of unpleasantness dissipates.

Ok, sure. Please tell me what I can do that will actually make a difference other than having it be a major influence in the way I vote?

This is a problem that only governments can solve and voting is the only way average people can hope to really influence them.

One person recycling or driving an EV makes no difference to the entire planet.

Let's say I'm motivated. Wtf can I do that will actually. Make a difference. I could live off the grid or I could just spend all my money buying gas to literally just burn.

In the end, the planet will be exactly the same.

The only way to get real change is through large governments and beyond voting or talking to peers, hoping to convince them to vote for climate action, I just don't see what I can do.

That's better than some I've seen. Like 200 for everything and the text could even be "error".

Or 500 with the text "invalid input"

I mixed piracy with s couple of tge larger streaming sites for a while. I'm 99% piracy now. (technically have prime video, but don't watch it)

The only real rule is that words come and go and change organically. People don't just decree that a word needs to change like some king of language.

Which is what the creator of gif is doing. His time to enforce that was when he first introduced it. Not after it got established with a hard g.

There are no rules to how new words come into being or how old ones change.

If everyone says a word a certain way with certain meaning, then that's what it is. One person doesn't get to decide.

English works like all languages. It's organic and full of exceptions. New words pop up, old ones die, pronunciations change and differ between similar words.

Most people chose to say gif like gift. One person doesn't get to change it just because of who they are. Otherwise celebrities can start changing things.

This is all like the Mean Girls scene where the girl was trying to make "fetch" happen and the other girl shot her down.
