He’s too vain to wear spectacles so he squints. Combined with the way he screws his face up like a child it makes his facial features look smaller.

It’s because the im isn’t a prefix but part of the word. (It was originally spelt empeche)

It is, check the OED.

Occasionally getting this error when opening mlem. Going to Communities and tapping subscribed fixes it.

I popped over to Reddit for the first time since third party apps were cruelly shut down. It’s clear that Reddit has sunk to new lows. Obviously trolling and a marked decrease in the quality of content

Im afraid Liftoff! has not been actively developed for a while and is incompatible with the latest versions of Lemmy.

The first few episodes Mariner was written as hyperactive and overbearing to the point of being off-putting.

But they responded to feedback and wrote her differently going forward and seem to have made some edits to earlier episodes.

It might be worth seeing some later episodes once it got settled in.

Every single person who I’ve known or seen with a foldable Samsung has a prominent fold (enough to lift the top layer of the screen) or crack.

The tech just isn’t there yet.

We have a friend who does this. To the point of bleeding. It is a recognised medical compulsive disorder condition (a desire for perfect skin so you want to remove the imperfections which makes it worse and so on)

Please do see a doctor. They won’t think badly of you and can help.

I don’t know why you are being downvoted. I was talking about this with another dog owner.

People haven’t trained their dogs to walk at heel.

You often see owners being almost dragged along pavements with the dogs on the road side.

Dogs on a long leash while near a road or people.

Etc etc

I didn’t enjoy firefish, it was buggy and seemed to have a lot of gatekeeping.

[-] Prking@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I’m much older than you and quite like the word which is why I used it.

I also think that sort of gatekeeping of words is another sign of the decay of society. People used to enjoy new words being coming into use but now they are ‘dumb’

It’s not cromulent and doesn’t embiggen the soul.

Also, an old person. I think the difference this time is twofold.

The people in charge are clearly crazy and in some cases unwell. The general enshitification of life. Ordinary every day things are much worse but more expensive.

I agree it won’t end but society as we knew it ten years ago (a hope that the future would be better, the big problems could be tackled) is finished.
