The idea was that people could tag their posts and communities with specific languages, so then you could skip specific language posts and so on.

However, most communities don't specify a language, neither do most posts. If you tick english and untick unspecified, you won't see basically all content because people don't specify a language when they post, and 99% of English content is technically "unspecified".

Basically not well implemented/used feature, best to ignore it.

Okay, understood, you would indeed be promoting the malicious file even though it wouldn't be an issue for you personally. Then agree with the other comment, block it in the torrent client directly.

Thanks for the recommendation, I usually don't read the articles themselves unless they say something controversial to fact check, but this was a very interesting and through read.

Yeah nah hentai means perverted and those walls are perverted as fuck.

Those look like some slices of salchichón, no?

By freely published you mean papers that are published by paying them, right?

They take money for papers to be published, they force researchers to freely peer review, and then they paywall the fuck out of that paper. It's one of the biggest scams I've ever read about, 10 years ago... Thank god computer science, math and physics (basically most STEM) have arXiv...

Thanks!

Have you read the amount of responses in this post? 😂

No way the definition of normal I gave is the common one. At some point it doesn't really matter what the dictionary says, if enough people change the meaning of a word they use, it changes meaning.

Still interesting to look at the roots of a word to see original meanings and so on though.

That's why I specified that the things I like doing, that feel natural to me, aren't thing i think are very normal, but "natural". Even though I know that they are not normal, they are in my nature, for whatever reason.

The moment you are told that something is abnormal, you can't think of it as very normal, by definition, no? 😅 You might still think that you prefer it, that it feels natural to you (it's in your nature, personal preference), but not normal.

I'm surprised that anyone is answering anything. If something would seem very normal to me, as in, I think this is something everyone does, I wouldn't know of it would seem odd to anyone else. By virtue of it seeming very normal to me.

Something being normal is rooted on it being the norm, as in, something typical. If you think something is odd, you can't feel like it's normal just for you, that's not what the norm means. Maybe it seems natural to you? Sure, but not normal.

Sorry for my reading my pedantic rant. In my case, these kind of rationalizations of the language using its roots seem pretty natural and fun but I know most people look at me weird for over analysing stuff.

It sounds exactly as cool as it is. 1000mW reads as 10^3 ×10^(-3)W, which reads pretty pointless. At some point in science you just write everything in scientific notation and remove the multipliers altogether.

Most normal people? Instagram, tiktok, facebook. Maybe twitter.
