Those names were chosen because they stereotypically fit these people, like Karen does a Karen. But popular names and connotations change over time. I feel like Stacy is a name befitting of an older person now than originally intended for the memes. I wonder if we’re going to collectively keep these names locked in time, or rename them ever

The oddest spelling of “colourize”, with both a U and a Z

The whole document is a pretty funny read actually

I was under the impression it wasn’t even truly private, nevermind encrypted. Not actually sure how it works though
On Lemmy you can’t exchange email addresses though… else you’d be exposing the addresses publicly and that’s also rife for spam
Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.
Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.
Clean or short shaven was actually less effort.
guy@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•What kind of institutional gaslighting is this?1·1 year agoQuiet quitting is actually listed as a subheading on the work-to-rule Wikipedia page I linked, so I guess it’s the non-malicious variation of your standard work to rule protest. If you look at the See Also section, there’s some interesting related things. I think the Chinese Tang Ping suits exactly what you’re saying too
Leaf blowers strike me as a very American thing. People do use them here in the UK, but rarely
guy@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules1·1 year agoWatch out I guess, because that opens the Emergency SOS page on my OnePlus phone and, if I have an additional setting toggled, automatically phones emergency services… the phone does not lock
guy@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.ml•Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules31·1 year agoNot sure about all phone models, but at least with mine, if I switch it off then it requires a PIN, rather than biometrics, upon being switched back on. Thus if the police arrive, immediately switching off your phone could be a sensible thing to do

This is a 1922 map though, not current
So what’s the deal with GNU? When I first saw it, I was sure the G was silent, or formed a dipthong, like gnat or gnocchi or gnaw or gnarly or gnome or just any word starting with gn in English. But IRL, I’ve only heard it pronounced with a hard G, same with Gnome.
Is an Umbrella really a souvenir, rather than just a necessity they end up buying because it’s pissing it down with rain here in the UK?
Free outdoor seating is extremely common though, it’s not that far fetched it could apply to deck chairs too
Or just “Latin”. A word Latin Americans actually use. Really don’t need the X.
