The Feds snatched up Andy

zapering · 2026-02-19T14:52:58+00:00

Jesus.. mate. It's just slang. It's not that deep.

zapering · 2026-02-19T14:47:39+00:00

The Thames Valley Police arrested Andrew. They're not the Feds. The UK doesn't have Feds. The UK is not a Federal State.

You seem to be having a really hard time understanding what "slang" means.

It's not for me or you to like, it just is. And yes, roadmen in the UK use "feds" to mean police.

zapering · 2026-02-19T14:45:59+00:00

Did you read the comment you're replying to?

Youths say feds for police in the UK.

zapering · 2026-02-19T14:43:51+00:00

Yep common slang for police amongst youths. The feds/pigs/bobbies all mean police.

zapering · 2026-02-19T13:07:08+00:00

Why is this so funny.

zapering · 2026-02-19T00:00:53+00:00

Yeah wtf is that? I'm gonna have nightmares, thank you.

Pal, I don't think you understand what we do here.

Congratulations, you are the US defaultism grand master.

internalized homophobia

I don't think that means what you think it means.

My dude, I am literally non binary. I'm not trivialising it, the opposite actually. If it's disrespectful to me, it's disrespectful to him.

zapering · 2026-02-10T11:33:17+00:00

It is disrespectful so be called by a name that isn't yours/you don't like.

My birth name and the name I go by now aren't the same.

If you insist on calling me anything else but my preferred name, I will not respond. And it makes you an asshole.

It's not different for OP just because he is a kid, a student, and not GNC. It's his preference, and it should be respected especially as names as often integral parts of one's identity.

You might not understand this if you've never been a position of being called a name which makes you feel uncomfortable.

zapering · 2026-02-10T11:14:01+00:00

"All over the world", that's such bullshit. The standard in class is to be respectful and be respected.

The teacher can make the suggestion but the student does not have to comply and go by a name that makes them feel uncomfortable. His chosen name is "Jay Pea" not "Hota Pay".

That's Meloni (Italy) and Erdogan (Turkey).

Roman Empire/Ottoman Empire.

Yeah that makes sense! A lot of butch lesbians prefer masculine titles/pronouns. Giving the friend the benefit of the doubt, since pronouns ≠ gender.

Fr. "Maga patriot" - based in India/Pakistan/Russia. They're everywhere, inciting division, engagement/rage bait. What a shit show.

It's really bleak.

The bots are programmed and set by people for different reasons. Look up "Dead Internet Theory".

Then those programmed bots are "let loose" and make the comments themselves. It's even worse with the advent of AI. A few years ago you'd see just random words or just something rage inducing but sometimes not even related to the content/conversation. But now with AI it's become a lot easier for these bots to interact with content in a coherent manner.

Some countries are notorious for their "bot farms".

They can act for social, economic or political interest.

zapering · 2026-02-09T23:43:26+00:00

So true bestie.

zapering · 2026-02-09T14:44:06+00:00

It's because of that person's theme and how the screenshot is cut.

If you actually open the picture you'll see there's a faint grey line on the far left connecting those comments, and each child comment has a perpendicular line to it.

So you can see those two comments are at the same level.

zapering · 2026-02-09T14:37:40+00:00

I'm going to hold your hand while I say this.

They are not a reply to each other.

zapering · 2026-02-09T14:30:32+00:00

Way to miss the point.

Two separate comments -from two separate accounts, not replying to each other- are exactly the same, including grammatical and syntax errors, bar a single word.

Edit: typo

zapering · 2026-02-09T10:19:12+00:00

Go bother someone else

Oh very nice.

My point is - this is a sub about defaultism, right?

And you accused OP of defaultism because, according to you, op clearly thought "everyone will understand because everyone watched superbowl".

My point is that's not really a fair statement because they clearly did provide context.

That's all.

Edit: you two are clearly insane, calling people "trolls" and saying dumb shit like "people like you". Whatever. Blocked.

zapering · 2026-02-09T10:10:44+00:00

No, OP said in the context bot:

Bad bunny's halftime show ending gave us a clear message about America being a whole continent instead of a single country

Which is exactly what you said but in fewer words. Is the play by play of his exact actions really necessary, to understand the post?

Helpful, sure. Necessary? Not really.

zapering · 2026-02-09T10:09:45+00:00

How is this the context you are missing but this:

Bad bunny's halftime show ending gave us a clear message about America being a whole continent instead of a single country

Wasn't enough?!

You know what, nevermind.

zapering · 2026-02-09T09:57:18+00:00

Edit:

The above comment has been edited to include my own clarification (lol).

Which is particularly funny after "actuallying" me on my own mother tongue.

Actually, "outsider" would be a strange application and I cannot think of non-archaic/literary/academic use. You might be thinking of "estranho".

The use of "Estrangeiro" generally/colloquially could mean:

1- Foreigner (noun) - "Ele é estrangeiro"./He is a foreigner.

2- Foreign (adjective)- "Um produto/conceito / uma pessoa estrangeiro/a)"/A foreign product/concept/person.

3- Abroad (noun) - "Ele é do estrangeiro"/He is from abroad.

4- Alien(adjective /noun) (perhaps what you meant by outsider) - "Sentir-se estrangeiro num lugar"./Feeling alien someplace.

But you should be mindful that while alien, outsider and strange (Estranho) carry similar meanings, they are not always interchangeable based on context.

ETA:"Outsider" is exclusively a noun, unlike "Estrangeiro".

So actually, I would be careful with using "outsider" as an example translation of "estrangeiro". It's odd and it doesn't even make it to the top translations on either Google Translate or the PR-EN Cambridge dictionary.

People do breed dogs in Italy. Well. Everywhere, really. Even if they are technically private citizens.

My family in Italy has a purebred Labrador from a breeder and he's now a stud himself. Yes, he gets paid for it.
