OMG THATS WHAT I WAS REMEMBERING TY

i think my blood sugar was low or sumthin lmao

don’t even need an hour. “herb” has multiple regional pronunciations and so can receive both treatments depending on the context.

also my original comment was just wrong i don’t even know how i got to the point of writing that. “an hour” is the standard treatment of words starting with vowel sounds—the letters themselves don’t matter.

but “h” is treated as a consonant. which it is. duh. i feel so dumb lol.

“a apple” has more flavor to it than “an apple” and i acknowledge how cursed that makes me

no shame in that. it’s rough. fun fact: even the US founding fathers got it wrong

he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither (Thomas Jefferson’s original rough draft of the Declaration of Independence)

later prints corrected this error which happens three times from Jefferson’s hand.

Don’t forget that ‘h’ is an exception and counts as a vowel: “a hat”

edit literally i am wrong about this why did i write that

perhaps because russia initiated a ukranian invasion on february 24 2022.

You are unhelpfully combative. DEI factually is a term that has been made a victim of twisting and manipulation. Flickerman was well within their rights to point out that this malformation of meaning has gone so far as to influence the basic grammatical use of the term.

You will notice that Flickerman even gives OP an out, admitting that their misusage of the term might be unintentional, likely skewed by years of propaganda. That is, OP could be entirely innocent and misled.

Therefore, ironically, the individual here who is truly reacting programmatically to seek victimhood, is you. :)

Be sure to read and take seriously the comments here, OP. They are correct. The majority of the media you have consumed about “DEI” was intentional lies to make you believe oligarchs and billionaires were on your side against a constructed enemy.

That enemy isn’t real. The billionaires aren’t on your side. They just wanted to cultivate your anger for personal gain, and for many, unfortunately, that propagandizing was successful.

excellent answer and analogy, and even more points for not using the useless phrase no true scottsman :) /gen

ha, you finally got banned for your annoying AI content. that’s what you get for being mean about it, be nicer next time and we won’t care so much that you care so little about being a genuine participant in the space we try to keep nice and friendly.

once i pointed out that most modern mobile OSes have a native “smart invert” which can make any app dark mode without messing with images and i got called ableist 😭

+1 for wanting rudimentary editing tools in client apps. i don’t need filters or anything fancy but cropping and scaling as features would probably help with platform adoption.

a good selection of these apps don’t. unsure if that’s an intentional choice or not.

valid i think there are some scientifically proven drawbacks both ways also dark mode is worse if u have astigmatism

i genuinely have no desire to stir beef but i have never heard a single positive thing from or about the guy 😭 i hope i can be shown wrong

I couldn’t find anything :( oddly, fediverse.observer actually was logging data before that time but it’s only accessible to me via wayback: https://web.archive.org/web/20241010192709/https://pixelfed.fediverse.observer/dailystats

@diasporg@mas.to any reason fediverse.observer is limited to only a few months? (no clue if this cross-platform ping will work but giving it a shot)

I feel insane that no one has commented this yet??? The data clearly only starts in November. At minimum this is our second plateau and I seem to recall more that have happened lmao.
