Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

MODERATORS
Acronyms are functionally worthless. There are only so many combinations you can use when sticking with the English language. It's like 17,500 and something if you're sticking with 3 letter acronyms. Even if you know exactly what the person is talking about there's a non-zero chance that it could be sharing the acronym with something else you know. ESPECIALLY if you work in corporate IT such as yourself and have to deal with IT lingo and corpo lingo.
I think you mean TLAs
...
"Way to stay on the abbreviation train!"
"You mean the A.T.?"
