That's because you didn't do your job well...

That's fine for the butt plug, but what about everything else in there with it?

'ship' as in 'relationship'

if people have a choice to interpret something as 1) that a question about fashion is in fact an innocuous question about fashion, or 2) that he’s obviously a rapist and victim blaming and I’m going to call him a rapist (when the entire tone of the thread and community is not serious)

That's on the assumption that the reader sees both possible meanings, though. Most people don't do that, the first meaning that comes to mind is the one we go with. It's a very rare person that will, without external prompting, go 'I wonder if he meant something else?'.

And oddly enough, he was the person to escalate with that explanation, and I was the one to explain it.

From his POV, you had already escalated. Yeah it was due to his misunderstanding. But at that point you were the one with a choice as to whether to nicely explain your actual original meaning, (and maybe edit the confusing line?) or just rage about everybody on Lemmy being quick to assume the worst. Nobody's the asshole here, it was a misunderstanding, but you could have chosen to make it better :)

Looking at the comments, I can see how your comment got misinterpreted. I do believe you had no such intention, but the way it was worded (especially the last word, 'anyway') makes it sound out of context as if you were victim blaming. And from the number of votes, it's obvious many see it that way. Rather than get mad at randos on the internet, why not just reflect that you might have written that in a somewhat confusing way, and clarify it? Without escalating.

I was honestly about to say “Maybe I was wrong about him? Maybe Kamala losing won’t be so bad…”

And this is why democracy sucks. Voters have the memory of a flea and the emotions of a toddler.

"Democracy is the worst form of govt except for all the other ones that have been tried"

The issue here is that the per weight pricing listed is half of what it should be.

I know how he works, but given the rapid rate of lemmy changes, this ain't working out for the both of us.

Security through inconvenience.

I'm not debating that. My point is that statement's pretty offensive to those who did take precautions but caught covid anyway.

Just... don't pay attention to it? It's something that interests other people. Imagine if somebody said that about something you liked that they had no interest in.

I don’t want to read entrails for clues about the future

But, you don't have to. This is them hinting about a upcoming announcement of a release date. For the average player like you and me, it's just the announcement itself that we need, and we'll get that.

Not like COVID picked and chose. Plenty of people on both sides are suffering from long cov.

That's really subjective.

Looks cool! I enjoyed Scalzi's Old Man's War series, will be nice to visit him again.

Yeah, I've been told to reread it since apparently I missed some critical stuff my first time through.

Yeah, that's Google defaulting to showing you the results for the suggested alternative. If you click yes on FooBar then you're telling Google to stop trying to be smart and show you what you're actually searching for.

It was a joke, because Google returned only 1 unique result for me, which was this very post.

Herschel.com is only returned if you accept Google's suggested alternative spelling, and is obviously unrelated

Good to know. I'll slot Bobiverse in once I'm done with Greg Bear
