That was painful. The kind of painful, over-thought joke I would make. Thanks, I hate both of us. >:C

I don’t know what rock you’ve been living under where you think base Firefox wasn’t ever improved

Yeah, black Americans have a very distinct culture. Started as slaves, were segregated in a lot of ways, they still often have ghetto neighborhoods, they created unique genres of music with strong black identity and they still have their own entertainment catered towards them. That’s America for you.

“Back in those days, we called quarters ‘arcade tokens’, and they had pictures of Pac-Man on them! ‘Gimme five Pac-Mans for the arcade’, you’d say.”

From my experience, black people want to be called black. I’m a white kid, but was raised in a foster family with three black siblings and other black family, including some that lived in a ghetto in another city. It was the 90s and early 2000s, so we watched some BET, we watched the Boondocks, we listened to thug rap, we watched shows with black characters such as All That and Cousin Skeeter. Because it was all a part of my brothers’ culture, and they felt attached to it, and “black culture” was cool to all of us. And in anything we participated in I’ve never heard a single African-American who didn’t call themselves “black” and be fine being called that. Maybe there are some rich people like Obama or Tom of The Boondocks who wouldn’t call themselves “black”, but they seem to be of a different lifestyle and culture than that.

I’ve also sometimes made the argument in defense of “black”, that “African-American” is mildly politically-incorrect itself— not that I have a problem with the term, just the hyper-vigilant enforcing of it. Because it’s not synonymous with skin color itself, it’s a statement about where they came from. We don’t call white people “European-Americans”; and what do we call non-black African-Americans from, say, Egypt or South America? So… yeah.

And things even worse than slavery towards them. And that a lot of racists who would likely shoot black people still use that word on purpose. And that there’s still a lot of those people.

I hate that cliche’d, untrue, glurgey phrase with a passion. But your point is good.

And we’d still call what it was “Twitter”.

That sounds like the courts are fucking stupid and ill-prepared to do their jobs.

Not gonna lie, this isn’t that bad. Especially if the dressing you drench them in is fatty instead of carby

1. Depends on your definition of “accent” (yes, really). Is an accent a deviation from standard/dictionary, or is standard/dictionary also an accent?
2. Assuming standard isn’t accent, depends on the zone/individual. We all know about Brooklyn and Southern drawl and Minnesotan, etc.
3. Assuming standard isn’t accent, Americans have less accent than other English-speakers, but more accent than you’d think. For example, Americans say “budder” instead of “butter”.

Downvote for what the top comment said and also “doggy dog world”.

That sure sounds like something somebody who’s never seen a bible and who doesn’t have a basic knowledge of any time before 50 AD might believe.

I fucking hate people like you.

“Everything on Reddit/Lemmy is fake and gay. Here’s my evidence.”

All evidence easily has an explanation, most of it laughably so.

What do idiots who claim everything is fake get out of it? To troll the OP? Or do you just want to spread your misery?

“Get informed”

Bold of you to tell people to do something that dangerous, Amazon.

How does it compare to Affinity?
