The expression is actually “hear, hear!” A shortening of “hear him, hear him”, an instruction saying “listen to what this guy’s saying. It’s good shit.”

I regularly use this page.

Unfortunately it looks like the font lemmy-ui uses really fucked up the ‘h’ lookalike:

on my phone when I wrote that comment last night I thought I could just about see the difference between the lookalike ‘u’ and a real ‘u’ because it wasn’t the same height as the (real) ‘c’ next to it. But I may have been imagining that.

It’s very common on most social media for comments with swears to get shadow removed. Personally I often resort to non-ASCII lookalike characters instead, because fսсk those sһіttу censorship rules. But it’s also a lot easier to just self-censor.

I just find the two clearly very different interpretations of this prompt interesting, based on the poor grammar in hlwnit was phrased.

When did you think someone was lying and was [but you were] embarrassingly proven wrong?

Is how I first interpreted it. But I can also see how others arrived at

When did you think someone was lying and was [they were] embarrassingly proven wrong to be lying?

Both interpretations lead to interesting answers though.

Ok, I guess you’re a lost cause then. Your comments in this thread had me almost thinking I was speaking to someone reasonable, but nope…just typical tankie bullshit.

Antz was an excellent example of parallel creation, and the creation and rivalry between the two is a fascinating story and a microcosm of the broader early rivalry between Pixar and DreamWorks. It’s detailed in the Production section of the Antz Wikipedia page.

Ok, so if I’m understanding this correctly, you’re supportive of the actions of countries that oppress their own people (e.g. Russia’s anti-LGBT+ laws, China’s oppression of Uyghurs and Tibetans, etc.), aggressively invade other countries (as Russia is doing in Ukraine, as China sort of did with Hong Kong’s semi-independence and is threatening to do to Taiwan, not to mention their enforcement of their claims in Vietnamese and Filipino waters), without being supportive of the countries themselves. Because you think that those countries causing harm to the western world is likely to eventually lead to the west doing less harm to the developing world, and/or help accelerate the proletarian revolution in western countries?

Is that a fair (in content, if not in tone) assessment of your stance?

Pffft. Look at this noob. What is it, your first day on the Internet? Actually reading the articles instead of reading the title and assuming.

From context I’m assuming Pennsylvania is where Trump did his Maccas stunt?

We want to be making fun of and correcting disinformation on Twitter, not spreading misinformation about Twitter.

Yeah even first cousins are actually not that bad, biologically speaking, if it’s only done for one (or probably even two?) generation.

The Age of Mythology campaign. It starts with you heading to the Trojan War because some pirates stole your statue’s trident…

In addition to what ricecake@sh.itjust.works said, this would be generational warfare against…themselves. Old people are exponentially more likely to need healthcare than young people are.

Yeah I don’t know any apps that have custom notifications out of the box these days, apart from Messenger. It’s too convenient just to use the operating system’s API and default to the user’s default sound.

Absolutely crazy how this went down. The impeachment vote needs a 2/3rds supermajority to pass. So 200 out of the 300 seats. The Government’s party controls 108 seats to 192 others, so they only needed 8 government Members needed to defect for it to pass. Party discipline would naturally keep people in line, but this vote is anonymous, so a small number could very easily defect without getting disciplined.

So, rather than risk that, the People Power’s official stance was that they would abstain from the vote by leaving the building.

The opposition says they will resubmit this motion every week until either it succeeds or Yoon steps down.
