WOW!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE BEING SUCH AN ABLEIST!!! CHECK YOUR PRIVILEGE YOU FUCKFACE!

@GNUxeava
OH, SO NOW YOU'RE AN X-OPHOBE?! I'M GONNA BLOCK YOUR INSTANCE, AND PUT YOU ON THE LIST SO OTHER PEOPLE CAN BOCK YOU TOO!

@GNUxeava
HOW DARE YOU NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH Y!!!! ARE YOU A FUCKING Y-IST?!

@thor
Not app nerds are interested in anatomy. You risk getting one who will be too distracted with farming for shiny Pokémon to even look at your clitoris.

@thor
The right side is so satisfying, while the left one triggers my pseudo-OCD at every level.

@GNUxeava
Oh, I'm sure they've done far worse things. It is Electron after all.

True. I'm not a native English speaker, but I am fluent, and so often I indeed feel my way around.
It's weird when I think about it, that I trust my gut instinct so often, but if you've trained by consuming enough of the language it does work. You start recognizing when you're trying to construct a tense, but you did a mistake, and it doesn't sound familiar.

One of the nicer revelations in learning languages for me is that even native speakers wouldn't "know" the rules of their own language and operate largely by feelings anyway~

So instead of trying to perfectly understand all the rules it is better to train my mind, somehow, so that I can start to "feel" things like them :hehehe:

The argument to just call it all "Mastodon" cause it's easier is the equivalent to arguing to call all Linux distributions Ubuntu for the normies. It's dumb.

@mametsuko
I think the issue with your example sentence is that it's an enumeration. Here "a" stands for as a way of counting. The sentence is an equivalent with: "Thanks for today: one really interesting paper and one great group of people."
There could have been multiple interesting papers, and the sentence becomes: "thanks for today: several really interesting papers and... ".

If you break it apart, you could have: "Thanks for the interesting paper, and (thanks) for the great group of people". Although, I find "the great group of people" by itself a bit strange. From the sentence context, "the group" doesn't sound that well defined. I'd expand it to "the great group of people here". Or "the great group of people in this club".

Testing now, things seem to have solved themselves. Considering my ISP had the issue, but the mobile phone network didn't, I'm guessing it was just an issue with how my ISP was connecting to everyone.

@Suiseiseki
Sure buddy. Take your proprietary radar super power somewhere else.

@icedquinn @Suiseiseki
The only thing it's good for is testing your internal network. But I can do that just fine with a file transfer.

@icedquinn @Suiseiseki
P.S. I've tried speedtest-cli before. It's utter shit. It can't even find a fast server to test against in my own country.

@icedquinn @Suiseiseki
I'm sure it is, but considering he's not actually following me, and this is the 3rd time he did this (and quite promptly so), I can only conclude he is stalking people. In which case I'm thinking about blocking him.
