Some philosophers are Kants

I think every word ever started out as something that was nonsense to everyone, except the first two people who used that word.

In all things I yearn for the past. Modern fashions seem to keep on growing more and more debased. I find that even among the splendid pieces of furniture built by our master cabinetmakers, those in the old forms are the most pleasing. And as for writing letters, surviving scraps from the past reveal how superb the phrasing used to be. The ordinary spoken language has also steadily coarsened. People used to say "raise the carriage shafts" "raise it" or "trim it."When they should say, "Let the men of the palace staff stand forth!" they say, "Torches! Let's have some light!" Instead of calling the place where the lectures on the Sutra of the Golden Light are delivered before the emperor "the Hall of the Imperial Lecture," they shorten it to "the Lecture Hal", a deplorable corruption, an old gentleman complained.

I've read that somewhere, too.

How much would you charge for letting him do the same thing to your daughter?

Mad Max. Not the best game ever, but much better than I expected.

I spend a lot of time on TikTok and once the algorithm knows what you like it's a fantastic way to waste your time, the same way reddit and YouTube are.

In the Netherlands some people with handicaps like muscular dystrophy can apply for reimbursement for "sex care".
In those cases I think it might be a good thing.

Holy shit, I did the same thing. I hadn't heard from Klein in a couple of years and when I read something about Wolf I was really surprised, thinking it was that No Logo writer.

Still kinda expensive if I'm honest.

If I had to choose, I'd swap my Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions for YouTube. I think I watch YouTube videos about three times as much as Netflix and Disney.

Thank you for your answer. I guess I could've done some more research myself, but I was also interested if I wasn't the only one who wondered about it.
I keep getting these videos on TikTok where someone finds an old axe, completely caked in thick layers of rust, and at the end of their magic you can sometimes even see the stamp of the original maker. Truly baffling.

I was using Foobar for the longest time, but I suddenly felt the need to have Mildrop visualization.
I couldn't get it to work with Foobar, so I installed Winamp (about a month ago, free, no mention of subscriptions anywhere), and it came with Milkdrop preinstalled.

I got an awful back pain on the first day of my holiday. I'm sort of relieved the weather also sucks.

Looks promising. I'll certainly give it a go!

The lighting and weather is so good in that game.

Very true.

My daughter really loves my old S10e. Apart from the dwindling battery life, it's still an awesome phone, capable of taking beautiful photos.

Redreader still works, apparently they could prove their indispensability for the blind community.

It's literally like language is a constantly changing thing.

Even though I'm a raging hypochondriac, I am not a germophobe. Funny how that works.

I almost gave up in the beginning because I had never played a game that relied so much on hand to hand combat. I'm so glad I pushed through.

It's a bit ironic that I've seen this exact same post about three times already. Apparently you're the only one posting stuff.
Or maybe I don't know how Lemmy works.

How does that video only have 15 likes?
