I would’ve expected to see more followers after that revelation

Are you going to supply new information? Or just say it’s there with the proper “research”

Hello i love your work and i’m very glad you post here :)

Not a bad point. I think the quotation marks and the subject matter made it clear. However, if there is this much ambiguity in interpretation I think it could be changed justifiably. I still don’t think this is some kind of egregious sin, though

I would describe 100 people shitting themselves and throwing up as carnage lol. It’s not the same carnage left by a warzone, or the carnage left in the wake of a black friday sale, or the carnage that happens in a 10 car pileup.

You can take issue with “slammed” being overused or “carnage” being too flashy or something, but to say it amounts to malpractice and is a result of stupidity or low standards is not really fair imo. People use metaphorical language and hyperbole. It’s fine and normal

Also, I linked another article using carnage “incorrectly” and I thought that is what you were referring to. The writing quality is fine so I was not sure why you said it was low

This is a “get off my lawn” take. The language is not degenerating, it is evolving, as it always has and always will while people whine about kids these days and the way they speak. They quoted a student who correctly and metaphorically described the scene as carnage. This isn’t even a good example of “butchering” the English language – again, it’s just hyperbole.

Is slang “butchering” the language? Acronyms, initialisms? What about pidgin or creole?

e: I can almost promise you didn’t read that “poorly written” article, you just didn’t like the quote. It was found by reading the dictionary

Nobody thinks people are getting literally “slammed” when it’s in an article title. Have you ever used or seen “decimated” to mean something other than “Every 10th man in a roman cohort was executed”? It’s hyperbole, metaphor, a play on words.

Here’s an article not describing mass death, but uses “carnage,” as cited by Merriam Webster in their online definition for “carnage,” emphasis mine:

In practice, Argentinian Cami Nogueira did take a heavy slam that resulted in a concussion and broken nose, and doctors advised her not to keep riding while she recovered.
But some level of carnage is typical amongst the men that compete at Rampage, too. The reigning champion, Cam Zink, was evacuated by helicopter  with broken ribs and a punctured lung after crashing during the men’s competition on Saturday.

Carnage can mean any sort of chaos or harm coming to a group of people. I don’t see the use in pedantically hating on colorful language or simple literary devices.

Interesting ty!

Do you have proof of this? I cant really find any primary sources, particularly recent ones

Did women use violence to get the right to vote?

The letter also calls on the broadcaster to implement a series of editorial commitments including “reiterating that Israel does not give external journalists access to Gaza; making it clear when there is insufficient evidence to back up Israeli claims; making clear where Israel is the perpetrator in article headlines; including regular historical context predating October 2023; and robustly challenging Israeli government and military representatives in all interviews”.

Slightly Disappointed But Also Relieved You Don’t Type Like This Anymore Jaden

Hey I know that Rhino

not all of us have such grand aspirations

Haarmann became known as […] the Wolf Man (Wolfsmensch) because of his preferred murder method of biting into or through his victims’ throats

He goes off on various tangents, but makes sure to restate his thesis at the end

Then he tied it back to Latrobe’s native son, adding, “They look like Arnold. Can’t look better than Arnold.”

Solid performance imo

Lemmy is already fairly left. ML is tankie from what I understand, so that would not be further left but upward, right? I hope you didn’t get the impression I’m a fan of prison slave labor and western imperialism. Many things can be and are bad at once

That’s true, but it devalues other labor which can be similarly/more difficult or skilled. I skimmed this article, but it seems to convey what I mean:

I understand what people mean when they say “skilled labor” and I don’t think it’s intended negatively normally fwiw

I mean really you’re bending upward to authoritarian on the compass

The job quality I saw for development work was atrocious. I did not stick around for more than a day. Students asking to pay pennies for what is clearly coursework, shady businesses looking to pay laughably below market rate even in a LCoL area, etc. Complete waste of time, for me at least.
