Stop trying to make Middle English happen.

Drag likes the middle English. Drag thinks you just hate fun.

Referring to yourself in the third person is cringe as fuck

He can say what he wants. He can endorse Adolf Hitler and nobody will bat an eye. Meanwhile Kamala has to watch every letter that crosses her lips.

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 34 points 4 weeks ago

He said himself, in early 2016 I think, that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and he wouldn't lose any votes.

[-] petersr@lemmy.world 28 points 4 weeks ago

But why is that actually? It baffles me.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 42 points 4 weeks ago

There is more to it than that. It definitely plays a part though.

Because Republicans have chosen Trump as the leader of their in-group, and everything they say and do is just sound bytes for getting him in power and abusing the out group, no matter how inconsistent, hypocritical, or false it is. They don't actually think what they mock the left for is bad, but if they can use it to justify being against them, they'll use it.

Has he not literally been doing that? I've been seeing articles about how much he looks up to Hitler. And he quotes him. He's not being subtle, at least.

Downvoted for the title. Not sure what kind of mouth breather trend that is, but it's not lasting

[-] Katrisia@lemm.ee 46 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I remember a person on Reddit using this.

þ- th sounding /θ/ (think)
ð- th sounding /ð/ (the)

As to why... I hope OP tells us.

I support.

Æsþetically it looks dense & unique like ð rare, sunderly dental fricative sounds English makes. “ð” isn’t historic since Old English really didn’t boðer ƿiþ separating voiced vs. unvoiced dental, but ðat’s okay since our broðers up norþ in Iceland use ðese 2 characters in ð manner you prescribe. I like ð mirroring a as ð single-character definite vs. indefinite article too. As someone around ESL (English as a second language) speakers, it can help ðem not only knoƿ hƿich sound to make hƿile preventing silly slip-ups like former US president Donald Trump saying Þighland instead of Thailand—but it ƿould be obvious if our ƿritten form ƿasn’t forced to drop þorn for overloading “y” or “th” for ð printing press’ limitations not built for our tongue.

Before computers or printing presses, ƿe didn’t have spellcheck—so folks spelled ƿords as ðey sound. Having less digraphs favoring more single characters is considered more ergonomic; Dvorak, ð keyboard layout, has “ht” on the home roƿ of ð dominant hand to shoƿ just hoƿ dominant ðis digraph truly is for typing English.

Look, english spelling is already a mess for me to parse (non-native speaker). If y'all start using this other alphabet, I'm just not gonna bother reading.

"Oh no! Anyway" kind of comment, but I must protest somehow.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 32 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, I think this is a pretty shitty way to behave on a website with a large number of non-native English speakers.

Quote me if I'm wrong but isn't this fucking illegal to have a private citizen act on behalf of the United States government?

[-] Alwaysnownevernotme@lemmy.world 72 points 4 weeks ago

Surely this law will apply to him.

Nixon did it with the Vietnam War. Reagan did it with the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Trump did it with Putin in 2016 (and then Pardoned Michael Flynn for taking part in it).

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 84 points 4 weeks ago

On one hand, I agree with you

On the other hand, Jesus Christ didn't the Middle English fad die out in like, 2013 Reddit?

[-] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 38 points 4 weeks ago

And you should be glad it did. Germans didnt get so lucky.

r/ich_iel and ich_iel@feddit.org STILL think it's funny not to use english words and instead translate them literally so it sounds like complete nonsense. ("Zangendeutsch") This joke got old like 10 years ago but if you use even a single english word you will still be greeted with "Sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn" which means speak German you son of a bitch.

I just want good memes in my own language, but that community is insufferable.

/rant, sorry

Don't worry, I'm sure in a few years he'll be indicted, and then a few years after that there will be a trial, and then a few years after that he might be forced to grift his followers to pay a fine.

[-] normalexit@lemmy.world 23 points 4 weeks ago

Shit, he probably won't last long before senility or old age gets him. Then we have old president JD to look forward to

This would normally totally annihilate a presidential run. Fucks sake, they were ended by a guy saying "please clap" or having a weird laugh.

But then again, only cultists vote for this man.

The guy is literally too stupid to stop hitting himself in the nuts. And then he blames the "deep state" for making him hit himself in the nuts.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 22 points 4 weeks ago

While you may think he's hitting himself in the nuts, polling says otherwise. I know, it's infuriating.

It worked for "Tricky Dick". He just didn't feel the need to go blabbing it to everybody because back then you couldn't get elected without at least pretending to have morals.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 20 points 4 weeks ago

Worked for Reagan, too.

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 50 points 4 weeks ago

Just as the classified documents case, this would be grounds to put Trump in military jail, instead of pussyfooting around a corrupt justice system he appointed a large chunk of. DNC being a neocon fundraising organization is pro Trump if he is more pro Israel.

[-] Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 4 weeks ago

Ahhh, a tale as old as Reagan..

[-] Hegar@fedia.io 38 points 4 weeks ago

If you're going to use eth I just wish you'd use a vowel for 'the'. No other consonants imply vowels in english.

People seem to also be ignoring that this entire conflict is a direct consequence of Trump assassinating Soleimani.

I can’t even understand what this is supposed to say.

Is there a real citation for this? Something that's not on Twitter? "The Daily Edge" doesn't even have a website of their own.

I'm going to assume these daily conversations are still unproven, unless someone shows me a better citation.
