If you use the wrong past tense all the time, that will definitely make you sound like a hillbilly.
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 3 weeks ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 3 weeks ago:
Compelling argument.
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 3 weeks ago:
Me too. It’s the one word that triggers something in my brain.
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 3 weeks ago:
Oxford spelling, Oxford comma: what’s not to like?
Anything with a United Nations style spellcheck will sort it for you.
- Comment on American and British English spelling and pronunciations 3 weeks ago:
Depends on the tense.
I burn the toast.
I have burned the toast
I burrnt the toast
I had burnt the toast
Using burned in all of them sounds like a hillbilly.

Do you by any chance know where I could read a good introduction to Canadian English?
I can write fluently in UK and US English but Canadian sometimes has me stumped.

Same what a feel bad meme.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think it ever went out of fashion unfortunately.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 weeks ago:
It’s 2025, the teenagers mostly document their lives on social media. Tent life guy from Gaza got killed but there are others.
When this empire falls and the genocide history is able to be taught then yes I think some of these video records will be studied by children around the world.
- Comment on The wildest details in the Facebook memoir Meta is trying to bury 5 weeks ago:
Perhaps you missed the headlines when the ICC called out Facebook for actively, deliberately obstructing the ICC genocide investigation into the Rohingya genocide.
- Comment on The wildest details in the Facebook memoir Meta is trying to bury 5 weeks ago:
I would prefer to send all of them to dig graves for the victims of various genocides and conflicts.

- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 5 weeks ago:
I have already suggested it. Trolley problems etc. Ask it to tell you its reasoning. It always becomes preposterous sooner or later.
My point here is that remembering the correct answer or performing a mathematical calculation are not a measure of understanding.
What we are looking for that sets apart INTELLIGENCE is an ability to genuinely understand. LLMs don’t have that, any more than older autocorrects did.
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 5 weeks ago:
More like 2 and half fives.
That would be an indeterminate number that starts at 7 and goes up by 2.5 increments depending on how many half fives there are (since in this version it’s not specified).
7, 9.5, 12, 14.5…
I love this. I thought English had some crazy aspects but this is next level.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 5 weeks ago:
LLMs are an autocorrect.
Let’s use a standard definition like “intelligence is the ability to acquire, understand, and use knowledge.”
It can acquire (learn) and use (access, output) data but it lacks the ability to understand it.
This is why we have AI telling people to use glue on pizza or drink bleach.
I suggest you sit down with an AI some time and put a few versions of the Trolley Problem to it. You will likely see what is missing.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 5 weeks ago:
I think you might know some really stupid or perhaps just uneducated people. I would expect 100% of people to know how many Rs there are in strawberry.
Nevertheless, spelling is memory and memory is not intelligence.

Memory isn’t intelligence.
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 1 month ago:
That only makes it worse.
Two and a half fives = 12.
- Comment on Black Medal of Honor recipient removed from US Department of Defense website 1 month ago:
How is the US military taking this?
President Imaginary Bone Spurs so eager to be racist that he’s openly disrespecting war heroes. Pretty interesting conflict of ideology.

Doesn’t Mbin have them? Kbin did.
- Comment on Reddit tracking upvotes for mod actions 1 month ago:
It has had a social credit score for a while now. Content from people with low social credit gets auto flagged to the mods.
- Comment on Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless Mockery 1 month ago:
Thank you. I did not realize their processed cheese was even worse than Kraft.
I’m partial to the odd Laughing Cow on toast.
- Comment on Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless Mockery 1 month ago:
Then why were you calling it a criticism of America?
That does not make sense.
- Comment on Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless Mockery 1 month ago:
All other criticisms of America
Processed cheese is only called “American cheese” by Americans.
The rest of the world doesn’t call it that, and it’s strange to see that some of you take it on as part of your national identity.
- Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed 2 months ago:
If you don’t agree with the person above you, maybe don’t start your comment with
I’m wondering this too.
Accusing people of being shills for commenting that bluesky is going to become (shitty) like twitter is out of pocket.
- Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed 2 months ago:
Bizarre that you and that other guy thought “will become the next Twitter” was some sort of praise. It’s not.

Nothing wrong with getting stuck on zombo.com. After all you can do anything there.
- Comment on Reddit Blames Google Algorithm Changes For Not Hitting User Growth. 2 months ago:
the answer they want from those AI generated answers Google generated from Reddit comments
Basically Reddit has now exported being confidently incorrect.
At least on actual reddit you could scroll down and find the actual answer. Some of those AI summaries are hot garbage.

“Im torn on this, on one hand I know I have an untreated open wound on my leg, on the other hand here’s a 6 year old kid in a “doctor is in” t shirt who wants to smear whipped cream on it as a treatment”.
What’s to be torn by? False dichotomy.
