Fair. Still not available in my particular part of Europe, though.

Here in Denmark we have so many domestic variants of yoghurt (big dairy producer per capita) that most grocery stores simply don’t have room for/incentive to offer any imported ones, except for Greek yoghurt for the purists 😄

In fact, there’s a great Scandinavia and the World comic about how much we love yoghurt 😁

Username almost checks out 😁

stares in European

I’ve heard of one of those brands but have never tried it myself (Chobani) and who impregnated the tomato sauce? 🤨

Notice how neither the OP, nor anyone else asked for your unnecessary objection. So it’s very much you forcing yourself and your unwanted opinions wherever you feel like.

Says the person who injected themself into the conversation over 24h later when everyone else had moved on 🙄

You don’t bring anything to the discussion on this forum. You instead change the topic to nitpick on someone’s wording, completely disrespecting their argument.

Again, my stance against self-censorship is well-funded and thoroughly explained. It’s not just a completely subjective pet peeve of mine that I’ve decided to foist on anyone, much less nitpicking, try as you might to make it appear so.

As for “completely disrespecting their argument”, not every argument deserves respect, and “I’m gonna mangle a perfectly good word due to the not at all certain possibility of external censorship” is barely a justification, much less a valid argument for the necessity of such a mangling.

It’s also ironic how you seemingly argue for freedom of expression, yet can’t fathom that someone wants to use language in a way that differs from you.

Yeah, because saying that censorship getting in the way of free expression is bad is censorship! Give me a fucking break 🤦

I’d recommend working on your impulse control. Though it feels like you just like to hear yourself talk.

Again with the projection.

I’m not the one who inserted myself into a conversation that was already over. That was you.

I’m also not the one who has nothing to say except “I don’t like your perspective” and I haven’t tried to forbid anyone from anything. That’s also you.

Doesn’t it get exhausting in the long run to be such a tryhard hypocrite protector of the unvictimized?

That’s not comparable

It very much is. Just saying “nuh-uh” doesn’t make it any less so.

If you prefer, though, you can think of it as a craftsman refusing to use a tool because his mom told him not to, even if that tool is the best one for specific parts of the job.

On the contrary, I’d argue overly relying on swear words (…)

Of course. Just like overly relying on playing ONLY the G string would make your guitar playing suck even more than if you only used the other 5.

That’s not a valid argument for avoiding words that are perfectly useful when deployed well, though. Especially not when it leads to the mangling almost beyond recognition of a perfectly descriptive and well-known neologism such as enshittification.

(as is the case in today’s society)

…how fucking old and stuck in your ways are you??

I’m in my 40s and I haven’t met anyone who’s not either my parents’ age or older, or ridiculously conservative who thinks “the kids today swear too much” lol.

If anything, people self-censor much MORE than they did a decade or two ago when social media and people trying to promote themselves while desperately avoiding offending anyone’s delicate sensibilities wasn’t so ubiquitous.

significantly reduces the richness of your vocabulary.

On the contrary, people who swear have consistently been shown to have much larger vocabularies of not just swears, but all other words too.

In any case, nobody is forcing you to self-censer, so why impose your opinion onto others?

Nobody’s forcing you to object to my objection to unnecessary and linguistically ruinous censorship, so why impose YOUR opinion on ME?

Maybe because Lemmy is, amongst other things, a collection of discussion forums where sharing your opinions and discussing them with others is the POINT? That’s my reason, anyway.

That and because I sometimes have poor impulse control when someone is wrong on the internet

Because censoring yourself needlessly like that constrains language, making it narrower and less useful for no good reason.

It’s the equivalent of playing the guitar using only 5 strings because some authority figure told you that the G string is “dirty” or whatever.

I know for a fact that this community doesn’t ban saying shit, so I guess his instance must suck big floppy donkey dick 🤷

Enshatterfied™

🙄

(I’m avoiding a swearing word).

But WHY are you? Are you afraid your mom will ground you or your parish priest will frown at you if they found out that you don’t needlessly self-censor?

Nah, at a certain point you don’t need any more money and it’s just pathological hoarding.

As a hectomillionaire three times over, she probably passed that point before she even released that particular song.

Yesterday I found out that, far beyond being aware of the phenomenon (because how could she or anyone in the US NOT?), she actively celebrates it!

She calls this time “Mariah szn” 🤮

I miss Santa Clarita Diet 😮‍💨

Nice trick by Newsweek to include plenty of criticism of what is essentially an old grandpa having weird but harmless fun while also making sure that every criticism is coming from absolutely unhinged and clearly partisan people with no reliability whatsoever 😄

Say what you will about Serbian nationalist fridges but unlike Yugoslavia, they were built to last!

True, but in the US, the song has been overplayed so much that people tend to hate it more than much worse songs.

Same thing happened to Wham’s Last Christmas (which was a worse song to begin with) in Scandinavia, Germany, and probably elsewhere too.

She already gets a gigantic one every year, owing to her being one of the few popular musicians who actually own the rights to their music (the vast majority of popular music being owned by just 3 conglomerates), but still she keeps going.

She even calls the excruciatingly extended Christmas period “Mariah SZN” 🤮🤬

Same here in Denmark. I likes me some careless whispers and being woken up before you go go, but Last Christmas can fuck right off forever.

So you do it with an unlit cigarette? takes notes for doomed insurance fraud attempt

9mm would be a normal conversation

Right after it being fired right next to your head? With no ear protection?

Permanent hearing loss aside, I’d probably have a few very harsh words for the idiot firing irresponsibly rather than a “normal conversation” 🙄
