I don’t care what people say, the most important historical event in my lifetime was the discovery and release of the lost Steely Dan tape containing The Second Arrangement

You can view their removed comments in the modlog. I’m not licensed in psychology but I would think that to be an accurate diagnosis. I wouldn’t want to see this instability, hostility, and lack of candor in my forums.
Wouldn’t it be nice if I wasn’t a serf in USA due to a little douche’s coup

Squorlple@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Did YouTube just disable video playback for people using UBlock or is it just me?English2·4 days agoYep, both that one and another adblocker I use for a few days now. I tried yet another plug-in called something like Ad Block for YouTube that works with blocking the non-video ads but I’ve still been getting video ads with it that only play the ad’s audio with a plain black video screen for the length of the ad; spamming refresh on the page tends to bypass the video ad. Hopefully the plug-ins will adapt soon.
I’m omitting the phrase “It’s actually incorrect because” from this discussion since it’s not relevant.
“[T]hey would probably be fired at from their behind”
“be fired at” is a transitive verb phrase, so there are necessarily two related entities in this scenario: the firer and the target, the latter of which we know is “they”. Simply saying “be fired at from behind” could indicate that the firer is aiming backwards as a trick shot since it is ambiguous if “behind” refers to that of the target or if it instead refers to the act of firing; most people could figure out the meaning in context, but I prefer to avoid asking that from my audience. Since “be fired at from their behind” uses “their” as an appositive to refer to the entity or entities yet mentioned in the sentence, and the only one yet mentioned was the target (“they”), this clarifies that “behind” must refer to that of the target.
It’s also commonly, but not absolutely, considered grammatically incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition. “from behind” ends with a preposition, whereas “from their behind” ends with a noun (“behind” not meaning their buttocks but rather that which is located to their rear).
I was trying to get the comment posted before a particular time constraint, so I didn’t have time to locate a word that singularly refers to the area located to one’s rear.

Yes? That’s why I called it a bot and said I participated simply because I had to for the application
I added the “their” to avoid suggesting that the shooter would be shooting backwards at them
Reminds me of this bot convo I had to participate in for a job app earlier this year. Wow it’s so important what brand of hand drills I used
It’s actually incorrect because they would probably be fired at from their behind
I should start just depicting my opinions as the Chad and other people’s opinions as the Soyjak and leaving it at that

One thing I think we can all agree on is that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
They don’t because they’re being repressed by the violence inherent in the system
We could form an anarcho-syndicalist commune
Could it be “Prayer”?
If you know what season it’s in, you can try looking up the soundtrack for that season and seeing what sticks out as a possible answer.
