  • Once you get to an 88 person polycule, I start to wonder about upper limits. Could all of humanity just be one big polycule? That actually might... be awesome?

  • It depends on what you mean by "on purpose." You didn't mean to hit that light pole, but there was a lot of intentionality around the decision to drive and the decision to build a car-based society that is very much "on purpose" and the effect of that is deaths due to cars.

  • Is it racist to oppose illegal immigrants?

    跳过

  • Because it's illegal, duh. Once you enshrine your prejudices in law, they're no longer racism, they're just moral purity.

  • I’m pretty sure computers do a better job of managing the clutch and the regenerative brakes and stuff, but we need to give more things to drivers to do to help keep them focused and engaged if we’re going to continue to allow them to operate automobiles.

  • Maybe eliminating cars would prevent cops from being able to fabricate traffic incidents to make ticket and arrest quotas?

  • Oh, I guess ha ha you really owned me by pretending to care about sports so you can clown on me about etymology or whatever. I’m just super upset that I got to talk about my favorite sport in the context of its entrance into the English language and its place in 19th century British class structure on the internet.

    跳过

  • Right. You want to use the word football exclusively to refer to soccer because your goal is to be exclusionary. You don’t want those stupid Americans to talk about your favorite sport. But I really want to talk about soccer with y’all a lot, and it’s really frustrating that you are willing to discard this rich history and culture associated with the word soccer in favor of the word that British aristocrats used to distinguish themselves from working class soccer fans, and I find it very sad what you’re willing to sacrifice just to keep me out of the conversation.

  • I have talked about the Sounders when I was supposed to be talking Seahawks and vice versa more times than I can count, so I’m not sure where you’re getting this “it’s not confusing” business from. The announcement of the community has to include a disclaimer so people don’t get confused. It’s very confusing and I see it confuse people constantly.

  • Maybe in terms of active vocabulary, but in terms of passive vocabulary ~100% of English speakers will recognize the ambiguity

  • If football refers to a single, specific, concrete sport, why do we use it to refer to Canadian rules football AND Gaelic rules football AND American football AND association football?

  • I feel like you’re starting to understand why saying soccer should be called football, a term denoting a game played on foot as opposed to on horseback, is needlessly confusing and underspecified, whereas soccer, which is very specific and unambiguous, is the much superior term.

  • I feel like you think that’s some kind of crazy own, but manifestly yes, that is correct. I don’t chat politics much, so that one doesn’t bother me as much, but I do talk a lot of soccer…

  • !football@sopuli.xyz , for football fans (the one where you touch ball with your foot)

  • But you could, and it would certainly be less confusing than insisting on using the overloaded term “football.” Soccer is a grand old European term.

  • !football@sopuli.xyz , for football fans (the one where you touch ball with your foot)

    跳过

  • Great! Let’s just use “football” as an umbrella term for all games played on foot, like soccer, rugby, and gridiron. I’ll call “American football” gridiron and you’ll call “European football” soccer and no-one will be confused.

    Also you don’t have to lecture me about how many soccer fans there are; I absolutely guarantee you I’ve attended more soccer matches than you have.

  • I’ve been hit by a lot more cars than I’ve been stabbed by methheads so I take the bus instead. You might want to look at some actual statistics about the number of people who die from stabbing vs cars before making your decision.
