I’ll tell you what I told the previous commenter: They were not all runner-ups, that’s misinformation. The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.
Which is also disgusting, of course, but no, the cartels did not kill off all her competition to get her into office.
They were not all runner-ups, you’re falling for misinformation bullshit (and stop upvoting misinformation, people!). The assassinations were not presidential candidates. They were local politicians, running for mayoral or council seats.
Which is absolutely fucking horrifying in and of itself, don’t get me wrong, but what you’re saying is just not true.
Really not a fan of speed walking. So in stead I went home and painted rainbow colors on my bigoted neighbor’s door. Wonder if I turned him gay…
I actually think those kinds of mistakes are made more often by native speakers, because they learn it from other people as they’re growing up (including all the mistakes), while non-native speakers learn it correctly (from books and teachers). Same goes for the then/than or they’re/their/there, etc. When you learn it spoken first, and incorrectly, it’s harder to correct those mistakes than to learn it correctly from the start.
In Dutch, for example, we have loads of people who will say “groter als” (bigger than), which is dead wrong - it should be “groter dan.” This als/dan-mistake is something typical of natives, and I’ve never heard a non-native make this mistake. Same goes for zij/hun. Usually kids just learn incorrectly from their parents. My own parents make those mistakes as well and it took more than a year of my elementary school teacher correcting me every. single. time I made the mistakes, for me to correct them.
Vlooienmarkt in Dutch, also literally flea market.
Edit: Nvm, I’m blind, I see you already mentioned it.
I loved Divinity:OS/2 and figured if BG3 was even half as good, it would be worth the money. Waited until it was out of Early Access, then bought it. Worth every euro. And the soundtrack is a masterpiece! Not that I expected any different.
Ugh this. I hate it so much, in fact, that when I finally (FINALLY) found one that actually, really fit, I spent almost €800 on bras, just to buy a bunch of them and prevent the necessesity to go bra-shopping. Plus, I checked recently and they still have them, so I’ll just order a bunch more and be done for a while again.
I mean, sometimes I look in the mirror and think ‘well, I guess they look nice’ but god, breasts really are more trouble than they’re worth. Especially in summer. And especially if you don’t have like a ‘standard’ size.
Ha, a familiar face, so to speak. :)
Your posts have always been such a valuable resource. Glad to see you here!
Correct. It allows you to either edit or delete (or both, in which case it first edits, then deletes) all your comments, but it also allows you to filter by subreddit or date, and it even gives you the option to back up everything locally, so you don’t lose everything like saved posts or something.

At the bottom, drag the big green button to your bookmark bar, then open your profile page and click the bookmark. It’ll give you all the options. :) If you’re not using it already, it will probably redirect you to old reddit profile page, but then you just click it again.
You know, there’s a huge difference between using reddit to find answers/solutions and actually adding content yourself. I’ve swapped in that I’m not posting/commenting on reddit anymore.
I can imagine I will be directed to reddit a lot when in search of specific information, but I’m blocking ads so they won’t get money from that and basically I’ll just be ‘taking’ from them, adding nothing of value really.
Yep, and just to add to this: Don’t immediately delete your account afterward, keep it for a few days.
Sometimes some comments will be restored, or suddenly show up after a subreddit has opened again, or something like that (I’ve only had four straggler comments total, but still, wouldn’t have seen that had I deleted my accounts).
I’ve even seen some posts about people complaining that all their content has been restored and trying to use privacy laws to get reddit to comply. Don’t delete your account until you’re sure everything is gone!
Besides, I would have kept my account for a little while longer anyway, because I’ve been lurking on reddit for the drama. ;)
Agreed. When I saw the Apollo thread, my first thought was ‘Nah, not even spez would do this’ but I choked on that very fast when I saw the e-mails, the audio recordings and everything. It was so blatant, so asinine, so horribly fucked up.
I’ve never used the Apollo app, but millions of people did and in stead of thanking him for all his work, reddit just stabbed him in the back. Can’t believe there are people still taking reddit’s side on this, it’s crazy.
My cat too! She instantly lifted her head and has been listening intently.
