Jeezy Peepsfun fact: the german article “die” is read by most english trained algorithms as "die"
this legitimately means you can get a 12 hour ban for talking about "the boomers" auf deutsch on birdsite
it's the year 2019 and we're still dealing with the fucking scunthorpe problem
Sir Garbagetruck@colon_three wait.
The _what?_
I mean, it's kinda run down and everything but it just seemed like any other British town to be honest.
(Various friends live there, have visited, etc.)
@Truck https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem not the only people it affects, to be fair
@colon_three Fascinating.
My friend MadMick lives there, and he got banned from the game ... erm... some game on some website we were playing because he said
/me sniggers
in chat when someone was making ridiculous claims.
And this of course was interpreted as a racial slur by several Americans who apparently could not parse the /me portion _or_ find a dictionary to look up the word.
Must be something in the water (:
