What is it an eggcorn of? Acorn? And what’s the origin?
Rephrased to it’s intended meaning, that would be:
ELI5 how come it seems now [that] the old [wives’] tale about Vietnamese people eating pets [is now being applied to] immigrants into the USA?
What’s the origin of the term eggcorn? A brief scan of the link didn’t answer this for me. Is eggcorn itself an eggcorn?
Oh I’d love to check it out regardless, thanks for pointing that out. I might have more luck playing with some online friends and I’ve really been wanting to try it.
I’ve yet to find friends to play it with me because the rules and mechanics of the game require a lot of time to learn. There’s like a 20 minute video that explains how to play it that I watched.
I think it looks super fun and I like the style, but again I have no experience actually playing it.
Crazy that you’re getting downvoted for this. I smoke occasionally, but used to smoke daily and had to quit cold turkey for over a year. I now (almost 3 years since I first stopped cold turkey) refuse to have any marijuana on me and only smoke on the occasion that I’m out with friends and it’s offered to me. That ends up being about one toke a month. Irritability and bad mood for chronic smokers when they haven’t smoked enough to get withdrawals is common enough (anecdotally from my own experience quitting and seeing others around me struggling with it as well).
Especially if someone has quit and finds the smell off-putting or doesn’t like to be around people who are either constantly baked or very irritable, this point of view is perfectly valid and adds to the conversation. Don’t downvote just because you personally disagree.
No problem, yeah it’s very unintuitive that it would work that way.
So far liftoff has been my favorite and I love the ability to have multiple accounts logged in at once and the ease of browsing from different instances. The UI is nice and clear and it’s my favorite from the ones I’ve tried. I still wanna try boost out!
Any examples? I’d like to join Mastodon soon and if I can’t easily browse other instances that takes away a lot of the appeal for me.
Hey I see you’re commenting from lemmy.world, since yesterday I’ve had troubles opening links, viewing posts and images, and posting comments. Are you having the same issues? I wasn’t even able to open this post on my lemmy.world account
It could be fine in certain contexts - for example medical contexts - but I think an important distinction that made it stand out in your comment was that you used female for women but didn’t use the equivalent “male” for men 😊
