That’s wild. I couldn’t imagine having to write documents using only a touchscreen, or having to switch back and forth between PDF and web browser and text editor instead of just putting the windows side by side.

A gay agenda of peacocks

I guess I just think that there’s a marked difference between using collective nouns that already exist in a language and making up brand new ones whole cloth just for the sake of being clever.

Merriam-Webster writes that most terms of venery fell out of use in the 16th century, including a “murder” for crows. It goes on to say that some of the terms in The Book of Saint Albans were “rather fanciful”, explaining that the book extended collective nouns to people of specific professions, such as a “poverty” of pipers. It concludes that for lexicographers, many of these do not satisfy criteria for entry by being “used consistently in running prose” without meriting explanation. Some terms that were listed as commonly used were “herd”, “flock”, “school”, and “swarm”.

None of those are goofy terms though…

A Dog Took My Face And Gave Me A Better Face To Change The World: The Celeste Cunningham Story

I got banned for daring to report violent content. Apparently reporting death threats is ‘targeted harassment’ of the moderators now

Let’s be honest, reddit has been going downhill since at least 2014. It still exists, and will continue to, but it’s such a hollow shell of what it once was.

Ironic…

Reddit loves violent content, provided it has a strongly homophobic, misogynistic, theistic, or otherwise conservative element. If course, if you make the mistake of reporting violent content, then it’s up to the individual moderators of the sub posting that content to decide whether the content is actually violent (according to their own standards), or whether you’re actually just “harassing” them by reporting it.

Funny enough, I just made this account after getting banned from reddit for reporting violent content. Apparently it constituted “abuse of the report button”, go figure.
