Umm… return to tradition, I guess??
A fun detail: this was written by a woman, priestess Enheduanna, the first writer that we know of by name.
Well, there’s the relevant XKCD. Things can be popular/non-niche, yet plenty of people still don’t know about them.
M&B is not a household name, but being ‘niche’ also sounds like much too strong of a word to me. Idk. Czech point-and-click games are niche, traditional roguelikes (NetHack, etc.) are niche… by my metrics, at least.
Is M&B really niche? I’d never call it niche, am I that out of touch?
Came here to post this.
So basically you’re the protagonist of this twitter(?) shitpost:
Excuse me, is that linguistic prescriptivism?
I’ve just reported you to the mods. It was nice to know you.
As a gay guy, I call bullshit on that, unless you’re bi and have first-hand experience.
It’s visually convincing (looks like a proper old-timey newspaper article, even has a misspelling/adapted name that nobody would use today), and OP even included the context with the source and date above the pic. I’ve seen the pic before, and if it were fake, nobody would manage/bother to add the original date it was published in.
I learned about furries’ existence on 4chan many years ago, and I definitely don’t think that site was healthy at any point in time.
Maybe https://lemmy.world/comment/11910648 would be helpful.
Does the picture imply that the two desires are contradictory?
Personally, I talk with my best friend like once a month…
Admittedly the Chinese weren’t lacking in ambition.
The Kamala promotion online is becoming increasingly disturbing.
I don’t get the impression there are even precise definitions of these generational labels.
And I don’t think they make any sense at all outside of USA and maybe west Europe.
So, uh, what is the difference?
Is this how you get boipregnant??
Idk I just thought those goth wristbands look cool
I take it the first link is older, the second one is newer?
I’m not American and I wonder if this stuff will ever cease to be in the news, I find it annoying to no end at this point (and can only guess how annoying it is to Americans who are actually affected by this). Biden might cancel some, even a lot of debt now, but within ten years you’ll just end up with a new generation of people in debt. So, is there anything being done about, or politicians even vaguely suggesting some more systematic fix for this shitshow?
