i am proudly biased towards not wanting people to suffer

that’s fantastic!

it… does though? it’s not any stranger than loads of other place names, england has penistone and the US has humptulips

maybe one day we can all agree what is a station and what isn’t

to me this is a stop/halt, a station is where the vehicle always stops (unless it skips it entirely, not stopping even if there are people who’d like to get on).

worth noting that this is just a PR stunt, no one actually uses that name seriously, it’s just called llanfairpwll

it’s like how king charles III is technically fully known as “Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of his other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith”

english is also a big fan of the hyphenated words, which is like when christians decided that puffins are fish so they can eat birds during lent.

it’s like how you can just make up a larger number by adding one to it, that doesn’t make it a real number used by anyone.

it needs to actually see use and be useful

perhaps some day humanity as a whole will realize this, and give up on the profoundly absurd concept of “intellectual property”

i find it very strange that anyone wouldn’t find something sexual about that photo

I’m fine with self-censorship so long as it’s also self-aware and funny, llike that D&D group on youtube where they replace penis with “schmenis”, that outright elevates things.
Ideally take the opportunity to be creative with euphemisms, blur the line between censorship and art.

i’m curious, why do you not have an issue with controlling what kids say? To me that seems really quite profoundly fucked up and authoritarian.

i don’t think newspeak is a good term for it, that implies an authority is forcing specific language onto people to limit their communications

what’s happening is the precise opposite, people are inventing new language to keep communicating the same things despite being censored, it’s the exact same thing that happened in hong kong with the chinese censorship.

talking about downvotes is a great way to get downvotes out of spite, which i’m sure you’re not using to make yourself appear more legitimate

as an example look at the documentary game called “team fortress two”

ugh no mom, it’s not “multivitamin fruit mix” it’s nonbinary juice!

unfathomable that anyone functions without a dishwasher

It’s still in beta so probably not suited for “enterprise” use, but if you just need a conference solution it should work fine.
