  • Are you ok with calling men "males"?

    People forget that there are also girls, teenagers and possibly other variants you may want to specify (plus all the male ones etc.).

    By using female/male you cover those bases.

    Besides, have you never seen internet posts like in AITA or such using F/M?

    Never mind all the professional language (e.g. "military age male").

    Just, come on. Getting insulted over bullshit.

  • That's not a Reddit thing, you'll find Lemmy mods here who would ban you for less. And probably elsewhere too.

    I find the topic itself dumb honestly, so garbage in, garbage out. If anything, if I were a mod I'd remove the OP, unless the sub is for stupid topic, in which case they can't complain about stupid answers. Again, not Reddit specific.

  • I'm just gonna pile on that snowflakes are stupid and deserve the same kind of treatment - blocks and bans.

  • So what happened to Ocon, anyone knows?

  • This is why I hesitated to reply to you in the first place. Sure, everywhere on the internet people complain how this shit doesn't work reliably, but it works for you so everyone must be just having nightmares and mistaking them for real life.

    You never has a problem? Great for you. It still works like ass, and your and others' "works for me" is of no help to people who are asking for a solution.

  • I don't write down every query I use. I remember last week or so I was looking for some obscure director whose both first and last name were shared with popular celebrities. Search engines needed a lot of fucking convincing to get what I needed.

    It gets worse if you're trying to find an exact quote, or a combination of very common words that you know exist in a particular formation. Yea, good luck.

    It may work when it's really simple and when you are looking for something that would end up in top 10 results anyway. Otherwise it gets aggravating.

  • Little girls. I don't know why they keep being used as a horror trope. It was interesting like, once or twice.

  • Ah so it works on one query. Amazing.

  • Sorry I can't help, I'm just facepalming at all the people who are saying it works with quotation marks and minus signs. Bollocks works.

    Anyway, maybe SearX? At least when I try to search for something, it never finds anything rather than try guessing what I meant, so maybe it's more strict in principle. Of maybe the usefulness depends on instance, I'm not sure how it works.

  • GTA IV, I don't even like it that much, yet keep going back to it.

  • Just you wait, soon we'll see flatchest communities banned too.

  • When i activate "Show bluetooth devices without names"

    I think that option just shows MAC addresses (or whatever it is BT uses) instead of the devices' names?

  • How are 12yos and 27yos in the same age category

  • What does it take to split Helium?

  • And just look at that username, damn... Well I guess trash knows the most about trash, that checks out

  • People would use VPNs of some sort to get connectivity from the other regions.

  • Most countries in fact, but you can get them if you want. Though I guess you never know if it's not a honeypot operation.

  • Cool, it's still more of an exception though. Here in most of Europe it's barely a thing.
