He does already look like a corpse, just look at those legs.

Impressive job on the doctors’ part, if nothing else…

based on the classic

2026 Lemmy edition:

Kind of like how socialism failing and reverting to capitalism (USSR, Yugoslavia) is the fault of capitalism.

“My” standard? It doesn’t meet the standard of your source either.

They’re taking our memes!

That’s no meaningful proof that he’s a groyper, even the article admits it:

In isolation, the references are vague enough to be interpreted every which way.

Oh, no need to remind me, I’m not even a former but a current redditor. I just find the idea of the little reddit alien being a pest funny. Maybe precisely because I’m still on the site…

Truly a cursed way to underline a word, is there no better way to do it on Lemmy?

Hello, just passing by to shamelessly promote !homm@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Also, yeah, usual business when it comes to Ubisoft. Fun story: their first HoMM game, H5 from 2006, had its release date postponed because the fans protested and begged to have it released later. It was horribly buggy, according to the beta players, and the fans wanted the studio to have enough time to fix it.

Now his arms are short, wtf 😓

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Turns out it takes three slashes, one has to block the underscores from italicising the middle

It’s not going to make much of a difference for me either way, I don’t like people just because they’re sexy.

You dropped an arm there, btw, here you go: \

Make sure you reinforce it this time, type it like this: \\

So, it has to be admitted that there’s no strong, direct evidence for it. The main argument in that thread is that he’s supposed to have some scarring, but none of the other photos from the time period show them either, so the guy just concludes they all must’ve been edited.

And yes, the look is somewhat different from the other photos, mainly the eyes, more widely open than on the other pics. But people can hold different facial expressions…

You actually understood it better than I did, and I posted it, lol

Yeah, I’d like a source too. The pic has been floating around a lot, first time I hear it’s edited.

This version is on Wikipedia, no mention of it being modified (it looks different from the one in OP but as far as I see just due to sharpness and contrast):

Ngl I saved this meme a long time ago. I remembered I found it funny, but as I was posting it here I realised I forgot who’s the guy in the lower right. Some right wing shithead, but I just couldn’t remember the name.

So, thank you for reminding me of Sam Hyde 👍

The only thing you listed that could be described as particularly inconsistent is spelling. But non-phonemic spelling is found in countless other languages and doesn’t really hamper the language. It might even be helpful for languages with diverse accents. English could be revised on some points with no issue (<island>, and some other cases), but overall it’s functional.

As for the rest, I don’t know how phonetics could be inconsistent. Like, is it inconsistent that frogs is pronounced as /frogz/, but clocks as /kloks/, so the -s plural ending is realised differently in different words? As for grammar, what about it? Do you think it’s unusual for a language to have “irregular” forms such as buy-bought rather than *buyed? Tons of languages have them, I doubt if there’s any without “irregularities” at all.

(Note: syntax is a part of grammar.)

Viewing these things as a shitshow, as something particularly negative or even harmful, is literally anti-scientific.

What is the thing that’s supposed to happen? You said English already is a ‘shitshow’ (not a thing that could’ve happened in our lifetime, but long ago), but it isn’t a shitshow, and that’s what I responded to, so you’re moving the topic here.

So yeah, you haven’t really responded to the statement that your position is elitist, or at least smartassery that no linguist actually supports.

maybe it was proposed because ‘ё’ denotes a very particular sound?

Indeed. And then it wasn’t made generally mandatory, and then the Russian language continued to work fine.

Which, notably, Western languages can never quite approximate

Why would that be remotely notable here? We’re talking about Russian spelling of Russian language.

perhaps because the letters are in a different position?

And what is that position that makes the difference?

Same city, Lvov is the Russian and Lviv is the Ukrainian name. Ukrainian has historically shifted many 'o’s to ‘i’.
