I thought that they were joking, as stuff like this also happens in open software and can take ages to fix (if it’s even kept up to date for a lot of niche software), and most of us use SOME sort proprietary software even if there’s a bigger % of open source enthusiasts on Lemmy.
That’s why the Android/iOS comment was even more out of place.
But then again, this is Lemmy…it might have been literal…
“Washed” is from sports, though. “X athlete is washed” has existed long before being used in Twitch chat/gaming/esports spaces.
Basically what I was trying to (poorly) convey is you give Twitch chat too much credit, they come up with nothing original in the first place lol
“You participate in society yet you criticize it ☝️🤓” comment.
Furthermore, what do two different mobile OS have to do with a desktop one?
Yes, KaiCenat, the most popular African American youtuber. Where do you think he learned it from?
Wikipedia even has a picture of him bro 😭
Rizz isn’t from Twitch chat, it’s AAVE co-opted and then overused incorrectly to the point of making it uncool by suburban teens (like most slang).

Man, and here I was hoping those fuckers would actually leave so we could have some vacancies in Manhattan.
I need these influencers to leave Queens please 🙏
Ah. Thank you for informing me o7
OotL: why are we boycotting Rockstar again?
You conveniently ignored my other point regarding how much of the electorate actually counts, but sure.
He got the popular vote in 2024. Not against Hillary in 2017. That’s my whole point, this whole situation would not even be happening if the presidential election system in the US wasn’t such a mess.
I mean, my parents and their generation can, for the most part. The rest of us… are probably not even making it to retirement lol 🥹
No, they didn’t? Like only 1/3 of the states actually “matter” during an election because of the electoral college, and they are all gerrymandered to shit thanks to Republican redistricting efforts and suppressed via ID laws going all the way back to Reagan, if not earlier.
Voters are a convenient scapegoat, but remember, Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. There shouldn’t even have been a first Trump term in an actual representative democracy, and opposition Dems barely moved the needle to safeguard any future elections from another term of this shit.
Yeah no joke, when No Child Left Behind was implemented by Bush 2, I remember both my parents discussing how it’s gonna lead to a dumber society within a decade or two, in a “Our nursing home is gonna be run by morons LOL” kind of way. I was waaaay too young to actually understand what they were talking about, but damn were they right.
Thanks, you are correct. I’m glad my Smallville childhood crush continues to be unproblematic
Wait, Kristin Kreuk is in this? I thought she was in jail for being involved in that sex cult with the other girl from Smallville.
I thought people were hyperbolic about how good Succession is, but I’m on episode 5 of the first season and I am HOOKED. I really hope it stays consistent throughout the entire series.
Yeah, sometimes the pedants of Lemmy get a bit grating (I’m guilty of it myself). Most people were able to understand that OP was asking whether smaller or larger internet service providers are easier to use for piracy without detection. Most who didn’t get that context scrolled past.
That being said… OP’s replies are hilarious LMFAO wtf is that shit
Thank you! This was what I was hoping someone would suggest.
Ok, let me clarify then: I’m black. It comes from American black culture.
Anyone who watches a Kai Cenat stream would immediately clock it just by his and his friend’s speech patterns. This is why reading a Wikipedia line isn’t really enough to understand the breadth of culture. See: everyone in this thread who is making fun of Gen Z/ Gen Aloha/“young people” slang while simultaneously not understanding it actually developed a lot from black and gay culture of Millennials and Gen X globally, and has become mainstream due to these communities becoming more prominent in the media landscape.
Sorry to write a mini-sociological essay, but I don’t care for the “it’s not that deep” aspect of Lemmy when it comes to non-STEM popular culture stuff. It’s pretty deep (and interesting) actually.
