English is kind of weak in this arena because we only have one word for love, but we can modify it to be more useful: romantic love and fraternal love. Any other use stems from these two, and will basically boil down to “I like ___a lot.”

Another specification is when people ask “Do you love them, or are you in love with them?”

“In love” means romantic love, I think. You want to spend your life with this person, probably every day, will overlook their faults and are enamored with the things they do, the way their brain works, etc.

Anyone who cares about the difference between pedophile and ephebophile shouldn’t be allowed near children.

I’m not a weirdo, so I don’t. My friends don’t have to buy into my version of wasting time

Dafuq is a weshwesh supposed to be

What are they doing to stand up to the bullies? They only understand definitive language or actions. If your child is just saying “no, you can’t do that,” nothing will happen. In the past, “standing up to a bully” generally meant breaking their nose.

EDIT: oh, this is about you as an adult, not your children. Good luck, adult bullies have that behavior ingrained in them from decades of training. Avoid them or get them in legal/job trouble, those are your only realistic options.

I was ready to be mad at this, thinking it was too lazy to be in shittymoviedetails… fits well as a shitpost, though 👍

Isn’t engagement literally the whole point of a social media platform?

Cats ARE stinky, though… the litter box is in your house

This is not even remotely new for Nintendo, and is exactly how they have always reacted to fan games 🤷‍♂️

If you don’t have strong opinions one way or the other, then docker is the easy answer. Way, way more widespread, which generally tends to mean better docs, more guides and examples, more tooling and open-source support…

IMTX can be fair if these don’t abuse the players time, and offer fun content.

IMTX and not wasting players time are nearly mutually-exclusive. These games are designed with the MTX in mind at every single step of the process, and are made with the sole intent of maximizing MTX sales. Them wasting your time is not a mistake, but an intentional (and meticulously-researched and -designed) feature.

There are exceptions, yes, of course, but they are few and far between.

I don’t think they’re still in HS, but are between HS and college and hasn’t been able to get accepted to a traditional college. The CC is a stepping stone

I could be wrong, of course, but that’s how I read it 🤷‍♂️

This isn’t any less true of a “real” college’s Bio 101. They don’t know what you actually covered (or retained) from HS, so intro classes almost always cover the same material for part of the class. That is in no way unique to (or weird of) Community Colleges.

I’m not the person you replied to, but I’ve never heard of CC as covering exclusively HS content. I’d guess that’s where the confusion is coming from?

I would think that in general it comes down to understanding what “ownership” is and that it has been taken from us, replaced with “licensing”

Your mistake is thinking that the average person

1. Knows that this is happening/has happened, since it’s rarely clearly or prominently stated,
2. Understands what it means, since it doesn’t often affect them,
3. And in the uncommon scenario where both 1 and 2 are met: actually cares at all.

It’s wild, because it used to be that you bought a movie and it didn’t matter that the rights ran out you could still watch your fucking movie in your own home.

I understand the concern and I’m sure it does happen, but I have literally never heard this complaint from a single person that I actually know. What movies/services has this actually happened to?

No argument against anything you said related to copyright laws, just to be clear.

Sad to see From licensing their good name to someone like Tencent. Be prepared to see some predatory shovelware
