Myanmar be cutting off its nose to spite its face.

Well, you can’t beat Oxford and Cambrige. If you want an online dictionary, though, I prefer Wiktionary.

I use Evolution and FairEmail. A fork is all well and good, but if you want out of the bullshit you have to get out of the ecosystem.

Rule-wise, this seems fair.

Regardless, if AI usage continues to increase in this manner, I’ll likely be driving NetBSD, AROS, and FreeDOS by the end of the decade.

Maybe even a little TempleOS or ZealOS, for flavour.

Man, I may have grown up with 64-bit PCs and Arduinos, but the ol’ Apple II is still surprisingly usable (though obviously don’t expect it to be able to run Crysis).

I have a friend IRL called Kit, who also happens to use they/them pronouns.

Nobody sees me getting up every morning, eating well, doing my coursework, applying for placements; because I do none of those things. Not yet, anyway.

As soon as I conquer the depression, sleep disorder, financial trouble, and generalised anxiety, it’s over for you hoes.

Ah, but the conversation has moved past your initial question.

Did I say anything about a subculture?

I do not. What I am talking about is people (women included) who are generally loud, boisterous, admittedly a little threatening (though this stems from my past experiences), and who act with little to no regard for the feelings or wellbeing of anyone other than themselves. These aren’t hard and fast rules, of course.

When I see roadmen around the city I now live in, they’re never causing any trouble: just hanging around, usually vaping, and that’s okay. The idea that everyone matching this description is a violent criminal is bullshit drummed up by the tabloids in order to scare old folk and distance them from young people. However, when I was in middle/high school, any dickhead who decided to be cruel to me or my brother for any reason would match this description every time — with the exceptions of two specific boys, who were posh twats. At the same time, many of my friends then and now either fit this description or have the lifestyle usually attributed to the stereotype.

The clothing is just a correlation.

If it’s a caricature then how have I met so many of them?

Please get a life. If you’re a chav/ned/roadman, we honestly don’t care; nor do we give a fuck if you like them.

I, a member of the working class from the north-east, have both close friends and sworn enemies across this demographic. Do I want to be a part of it myself? Not really. Do I care if other people do/are? Also no. You do you.

Alternatively, if this is a hyperfixation, there are friendlier ways to approach it than accusing the Fediverse of classism.
