How old does a word have to be to satisfy you?
“Beaucoup” is like 800 years old. Shitty spelling isn’t a neologism.

It’s a little sweet for my taste.
So you’re in the 55% then. I was too until I read the other comments. I recognized it as Zubat but didn’t know the details of the attack.
Also how much you interact with them on the more recent encounter.
More time spent together gives more time to tickle those “wait, you seem familiar…” vibes in the back of your mind.

Ah yes if we just keep using a new synonym every time, that means we have to start all legal arguments from scratch.
Not necessarily, it could be the old JAR format which was supposed to be a successor to ARJ.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK - All song birds on the planet are descended from ancestors in Australia.
1·6 months ago- If that’s so, then that’s not what you said. You said “plants keep evolving into trees”. While it’s true that we give the name “trees” to a variety of plants with different genetics, all of them share a common ancestor: otherwise they wouldn’t be plants but something else.

17·6 months agoThe problem is not lack of training. This isn’t a “whoopsie-poopsie”. They’re doing it on purpose and if someone looks brown enough they get kidnapped. With luck they get released later.
Unfortunately that doesn’t really help, because it’s too likely that the post text will be missed. Might be one of the few cases where extra text in the template would be better.
Need to find a way to make sure that either people know up front that it’s a reversal, or read it once, then learn the context and go back and read it again. In this case the latter just trips people up without any rethinking of the situation.
I’m afraid the “joke” just doesn’t work well.
It’s not obvious without the post title.
A refreshing turnabout, but not clear/obvious.

… Ukraine? Normally you’re not supposed to use “the” when referring to it these days.
And while I’m sure rail is an important element of the development of modern Ukraine, I don’t think its the most significant example.
