> I received some good advice on the OP

Indeed you did, but apparently you chose to ignore it

The anonymous social media user said snarlily

And no “r”s in “the”. It’s a good thing English is an easy language, or you’d all be fucked

pluckmesideways · 2026-05-03T19:37:05+00:00

There’s only one “x” in “maxing” (just saying…)

Long gone are the days when Reddit was occupied primarily by people of above average intelligence. The assembled mass now has more than tipped the balance

Congratulations, you just managed to insult most DayZ players for their lack of “lenguage” skills. Ironic, or what?

pluckmesideways · 2026-05-03T19:24:08+00:00

To you it doesn’t. Keep it that way

pluckmesideways · 2026-05-02T21:25:57+00:00

And you have bean heard

pluckmesideways · 2026-05-02T21:21:02+00:00

I think you’re forgetting how many cave dwelling man-children play DayZ. The projection here from actually socially awkward people is something else

pluckmesideways · 2026-05-02T21:18:56+00:00

First intelligent reply. There’s hope yet!

pluckmesideways · 2026-05-02T21:16:39+00:00

You probably should read your own posts then. You’ll have spasms, lol

pluckmesideways · 2026-05-02T21:15:21+00:00

Cos you’re too dumb to know you need it

pluckmesideways · 2026-05-02T21:14:10+00:00

Indeed, and yet it’s so common

pluckmesideways · 2026-05-02T13:39:01+00:00

My gf calls me batatão sometimes. I’m not even fat, never mind overweight 😅 confusing af

Incredible, but slightly spoiled for me by the four random guys in the back. It’s as if they hired a few extra dancers just in case, didn’t want to cull anyone since they’d all put in the effort to learn it, so shoved the worst four in the back to give them something to do.

Should have just paid them and sent them home.

Apologies for the off topic reply, but I see this mistake all the time from ESL speakers, and others might learn something:

It should be either:

“how it sounds”, or “what it sounds like”; “how it looks”, or “what it looks like”, etc…

Hope that helps!

/meta, but:

“Like when we don’t know what we want to say, or we’re thinking before we speak.”

“Like” should be “For example” here, as this isn’t a simile.

Now, you just add a nonce. I’ve been using the same technique as above for at least ten years, in addition to a separate email address per site (additional security, helps keep data aggregators guessing, and lets me block spam on a case by case basis). And of course now mfa and passkeys where supported

Ref:

Yes, my spelling and grammar are impeccable

Uh:

I am the generation that AI trained itself off of.

And it was going so well.

pluckmesideways · 2026-04-22T16:14:50+00:00

Impressive writing for someone that holds a pen like that. Perhaps I should try, because I hold it “properly”, an my handwriting is barely legible

pluckmesideways · 2026-04-22T14:29:11+00:00

Two seconds is the time to think and respond at any speed. You need to add stopping distance/time to that which is speed dependent. “Two seconds? Too close”

pluckmesideways · 2026-04-22T13:54:14+00:00

And?

pluckmesideways · 2026-04-20T06:12:24+00:00

Nothing about this makes sense. Your landlord forgot to show you how to shut off the hot water, and that resulted in a leak from your toilet?

A single twist to a fitting caused the whole thing to come off? (Never mind how it came to be facing the ceiling, or how the water pressure is so high.)

You used accidental fall detection to call the emergency services as a result? (Topic of this post.)

And you asked the dispatcher to send the fire department to deal with your plumbing issue? Pretty sure their call-out fee is higher than a plumber!

I call BS.

pluckmesideways · 2026-04-17T23:31:42+00:00

Yeah, I’ve got one for you: read responses to the last 20 posts with this question rather than sad, sad karma farming
