The problem is we deliberately make everything wrong so that it breaks. You can't buy a good product once capitalism gets into full swing, because everything that justified its existence was a lie and the only thing that matters is money - not the world, not the people, just this fake paper bullshit that isn't really worth anything and is just a status symbol that allows you to buy more status symbols.

When most people use the word removedry, this is the sort of thing they're describing, not gay people. The word was evolving in this direction before everyone decided to pull a "satanic panic" on it.

edit: lmfao the word is autoremoved, case in point. why we doin so much censorship here? reddit is not a model to follow

What is the word? Can you s-p-@-c-3-i-t-o-u-t?

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 months ago

Probably the Brit synonym for stick or smoke

[-] SadLuther@lemmy.kya.moe 1 points 11 months ago

I'm a Brit and I can't figure out what word is a synonym for both stick AND smoke. Am I regarded?

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 11 months ago

I'm being willfully obtuse.

Don't think: Where there's smoke, there's fire

Instead think: Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

According to Wikipedia its also a meatball.

Ohhhhh I gotcha. Thanks for linking it to Wikipedia! I think I got confused because I didn't see the relation with stick, and I feel like the abbreviated form of the word used to describe a cigarette is quite an outdated term now.

Honestly when you mentioned smoke, I was thinking of it as a noun with the second context you mentioned. But not being a tobacco smoker myself, the devil's lettuce popped into my mind instead.
