  • Lol. My good laptop is komputilo (esperanto for "computer")

  • Yeah I'm normally logged in ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  • Are the adblocker-detection bits a chrome/ium-only thing? I use firefox w/ ublock origin and I've never gotten any

  • I'm thinking of switching to debian, if I do imma use that

  • I've got an old crappy laptop that's called craptop

  • Merry humpday everybody

  • Aw man :( You mean we english-speakers aren't the only ones with overly sensitive ancestors?

  • It's still like that with iphones

  • Why the hell is it so complicated

    I though it was complicated here in Australia where our states/territories (idk the differencd) all can have some very different rules and stuff at least we have mostly clear borders

  • Thanks

  • Grond is the battering ram that was used to knock down the gates of Minas Tirith in the return of the king. It's a bit of a meme.

  • Yeah other languages normally get their swears from words for things that are considered taboo but english just has such a variety. We have swears/slurs that are related to:

    • bodily functions
    • bodily fluids
    • sex
    • relationships
    • some animals
    • being sent to hell
    • various other religious (mostly catholic) things
    • thinking you're better than others
    • thinking others are better than you
    • and probably some others that I've forgotten about/don't know of

    But also not all words from those categories are swears and not all of those swears are always swears. We also have words that sound/look like swears but aren't.
    edit: it would appear that I am incorrect
