/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!
In the comic, the desire path happened because they wouldn’t just connect to the crosswalk. Even in the end, the constructed path connects to the sidewalk slightly to the side instead of going straight to the crosswalk.
Desire paths happen because of poor, antihuman design choices.
You say this is human nature, but I see this comments section filled with good little doggies that follow master’s rules.
That’s clearly a siren or some kind of merfolk on the left, I think the sign is telling you this is their territory.
You say “everyone” but it’s still just other men.
People are organizing in their communities to patrol for ICE and respond to ICE raids, which is quite a bit like the Black Panthers “cop watch” and community patrols.
I know it’s not like when protesters burned down a police station in 2020, but things are happening.
It’s literally the least you can do, less than literally anything else, and doing the least possible is not good enough.
You don’t get to wash your hands because you voted for Kodos. Has Harris even come out against bombing Iran?
You ever notice how every other animal manages to survive without water bottles? It was like that for most of human existence, before we figured out water skins and wooden cups and clay jugs.
The mistakes compound. It starts with one, but if no mistakes are ever corrected then it won’t just be this one. I’d rather we don’t create a new dialect. So, let’s just nip it in the bud, correct all simple mistakes and ensure communications remain clear for everyone. It’s not even a big deal, someone just pointed out a minor mistake.
I called it stupid because you made a big deal about this, and I got emotional. It really isn’t! It’s just a small correction and we could have all moved on, but no, you had to die on this molehill and now I’m going to ruin my day being mad at this stupid fucking bullshit.
We should all work together to be understood. It’s good that people help each other communicate more clearly.
Corrections are how we reduce lingual entropy. Being corrected shouldn’t be embarrassing or shameful, we should welcome corrections so we can be better understood.
Language is collaborative, we’re always working to be better understood and to help each other be better understood.
If no one was ever corrected about anything, language will drift so badly we’d lose the ability to communicate. Try reading Olde English, before standardization people would just do whatever they wanted. It ranges from barely legible to gibberish.
It’s more effort than a straight read.
I didn’t correct anyone, by the way. I’m just a different person griping about how much it sucks to have to communicate with people who don’t care about being understood.
And you’re right, correcting people is even more work! So on top of the work of translating their stupid post we now have to tell them they were wrong so they don’t do this to us again. If they aren’t ever corrected they’ll just keep being wrong and we’ll have to keep translating their posts.
The alternative is to block them so we never see their posts ever again, which honestly is a better idea. It not like we’re missing out.
It’s frustrating to translate from what they said to what they mean. It’s more effort on my part and this is my free time, I don’t want to work.
Just communicate as clearly as you can.
I’ve hated Reddit since back when shitredditsays was in its hay day (even though I was also an incessent poster) and after they banned the Chapo subreddit I retreated to only really using a few local subreddits to keep track of local news.
When the exodus started two ish years ago I jumped on the bandwagon and haven’t logged back into Reddit ever since.
I call y’all reddit.world as a joke but you aren’t nearly as bad.
No, actually, I quite like that the media circus might cause Musk’s companies to fail. It’s good when his investors are hurt.
Unless Tesla gets bailed out I don’t expect it to survive much longer, consumers already don’t want his badly built and overpriced swastikars anymore, and this is yet another blow to the company. Musk leaving the government won’t save Tesla from itself.
It needs government money or it’s done.
I’m not forgetting that he’s a shit talker, but you aren’t getting it - simply by saying this shit he has already harmed the companies by undermining investor confidence.
Trump directly attacked Musk’s companies and their investors, whether he follows through on the threat or not.
Trump threatening to take away Musk’s government contracts is pretty serious for a smokescreen. Even the threat of doing this could destroy the companies, even if he never intended to follow through.
For them spaces on the internet are just a question and answer machine - why would they thank us NPCs?
Or they do get the answer they want and now they don’t need to get anymore answers.
Mostly connections and luck based on the trash I hear that’s somehow popular.
