Yeah, Finnish.
I don’t respect your hostility in the discussion. This comment reinforces that you and me merely have fundamentally differing opinions about the matter and there will be no conclusion.
As for the rigidity of the discussion: I’m of the school of thought that strives for efficient communication and of the paradigm that things should argue, not people. I’m in this to learn stuff and learn about your opinion, not to clash with you.
But I’ve come to realize that internet forums generally are filled with people who get empowered with argumentation errors and thus attempt at civilized discussion tends to be fools errand.
You seem to have interesting opinions and so if you’d like to continue this discussion further, my Matrix handle is in the bio.

According to social norms originating from bronze age mythology and oppressive edicts derived therefrom. Do try to keep up with modern society.
Are you trying to claim that swearing is socially acceptable in modern society? You wouldn’t swear in your customer service profession and you wouldn’t swear to someone you respect.
That makes no sense. The definition of successful use of language is expressing what you intend to express in the ideal manner for your specific purposes. A lack of versatility would hamper any efforts to achieve that goal.
I would argue as someone who doesn’t natively speak english that words with double- or multimeanings (versatile) are hard to learn and interpret in language. They pave way to misunderstanding and by nature limit the richness of the language.
Only when used improperly, like with any word.
I would claim that using swear words are mostly if not always used inproperly.
But writing this response I’m increasingly willing to blame cultural differences. My mother language is very hard to learn and in it you would add a suffix to add versatility to a word. I’d say we come from different places and respect different things in language.
As per your suggestion:
TL;DR: Shit happens, rally helps. Good talk, have a good one.
- Comment on I am just here… 9 months ago:
This is incorrect.
Swearing is undoubtedly poor language in the sense that it’s not socially all acceptable.
Also it being versatile doesn’t make it any good, rather other way around. That swear word being used rather than other descriptive terms is use of poor language and sign of poor vocabulary.
Also the study is about knowing many swear words rather than using them to fill in all gaps in sentences.

That was pretty funny though. Immature maybe, but somewhat entertaining.

- Comment on avatars and usernames should be bigger so it's easier to grow a sense of community 11 months ago:
While I agree, I’d like to add that it’s not hard to recognize and remember the very active and/or notable posters.
Actually for the fun of it, I’ll name a few on top of my head:
QuentinCallaghan: Sopuli founder and avid commenter.
Ategon: Hot in the tech subs, seems like a really nice fella.
Picard Maneuver: Memelord and legend
Flying Squid: Meme master and commenter
Dessalines: Dev for Lemmy, Jerboa (and the keyboard I use, thanks this is great).
Ruut: Lemmyworld founder.
And some more whose username I can’t recall at the moment.
Also it’d be fun if you commnted some more. :D

On a lighter note, anyone find that copypasta/comment where sameone accused Tom Scott of stealing his girlfriend at a party etc.?
- Comment on "YOLO" and "Memento Mori" mean pretty much the same thing 11 months ago:
Making the most of life doesn’t necessarily mean indulgence. It can mean living a long and meaningful one.
Also in my previous response I already made a point about the connotations, which I feel responds pretty woll to this too.
- Comment on "YOLO" and "Memento Mori" mean pretty much the same thing 1 year ago:
I’m inclined to agree
- Comment on "YOLO" and "Memento Mori" mean pretty much the same thing 1 year ago:
I would definitely argue that it is at least technically correct.
Your example points to a vague resemblance in how it sounds spoken, which has barely nothing to do with the meaning. This much ought to be obvious.
My thought points to an unlikely lesson found in both phrases. That is, both remind to make the most out of life, because inevitable death. As others have pointed out, the connotations just have been formed such that YOLO ends up generally achieving that with recklessness and “Memento Mori” generally with caution and healthy respect for mortality.
However, that does mean that the same lesson is still found in them, which indeed makes them mean pretty much the same thing. Note that I don’t claim them to be synonymous, like a certain comment claims, or interchangeable, which they aren’t.
TL;DR: Your example relies on how it sounds and it is indeed superficial. In my thought the similarity indeed exist in the language and is technically correct.

While I meant what I originally said, this is a great thought! Thanks for the comment!

Other comments bash on it, but I think I would have it as long as the chicken in indeed boiled and not raw.
I mean it doesn’t look too good overall, but the pasta seems nice and boiled chicken is probably pretty tasteless so easy to eat. The corn might be the problem because it’s hard to eat and the mouth feel might be funny.
And it would be free and prepared “ready” so that’s nice. :)

Thanks for the comment!
I explain poorly.
The Tor Browser has this setting to redirect/ prioritize clearweb urls to onion urls.
When used in the Tor browser, I can access reddit with it’s clearweb site (.com) and (with the “prioritize Tor sites” turned on) the url showing it as onion site (.onion).
Hope I understand it right and with the setting turned on, tor indeed “magically makes clear web site to an onion site”.
Not Tor-expert, hope I get this right. :)

I daily drive FF Focus. When I encounter the discussed page, I just navigate to 'Open in…" and choose my TOR browser and open it there. VPN stays active all the time (Proton).
I’ll check if it loads the page as an onion site or not.
…
Checked, loaded with default settings and as an .onion site. Both work.
So Tor works as a whole for me for now, it seems.

Curious, I get it while searching too, using Proton. Haven’t tried juggling servers though, might help.
