Surprised not to see any posts referencing the Arbitrary List of Popular Lights or !flashlight@lemmy.world.

One of the requirements to make it on the list is:

A user interface where a single click turns the light on in a reasonable mode, and another single click turns it off.

Perhaps not every disability benefit is, but Social Security Disability Insurance and State Disability Insurance certainly are.

Four minutes for a cup of coffee? Yesterday it was three!

I think the “correct” usage of acronym is only when it is spoken as a word. But language evolves and all that.

You can see the tension in the way MW defines it (including the extended description). Like: here’s the definition of the word, but some people use it when they actually mean initialism. This is in contrast to your more concise and cohesive definition of “[abbreviations] that take the first letter from each word”. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acronym

That assumes “you” are just the conscious part. If you accept the rest of your brain (and body) as part of “you”, then it’s a less dramatic divide.

That’s like 30 people in line. It takes half a block and a lane of the stroad to fit 30 people.

Lemmy without politics is kinda a ghost board. There is maybe 3 or 4 new posts a day.

I think your approach of blocking any user who posts about politics is eliminating the most prolific posters when 95% of their stuff is non-political. This is not to say your approach is bad, just that it doesn’t actually represent “Lemmy without politics”.

I think transforming “it’s possible to think without language” into “language is not a tool for thought” is an overreach. Definitely a lot of our internal voice is post-thought, but crystalizing those thoughts into words can provide footholds for further thought. Some would argue it’s not possible to think through a complex issue without writing:

There are over 2 million animal species on Earth, and one species is responsible for 99.9% of all lethal attacks. Ban Humans (from existing)!

I don’t think it’s fair to call Slay the Spire (StS) a clone. While Card Quest introduced a lot of the key elements years earlier, StS adds enough innovation that it feels like a totally different game. Definitely would be more fair to say StS popularized a lot of the mechanics rather than invented/pioneered them though.
