CoolMatt@lemmy.cato Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Donald Trump threatens to stop Barbie dolls being sold in USEnglish24·3 days agoSee this is a good example of when that word should be acceptible to use
CoolMatt@lemmy.cato Television@lemm.ee•Streaming Is Now Just As Crowded With Ads As Old School TVEnglish2·11 days agoYeah but ad is short for advertisement.
Advertisements are something to make you buy something you wouldn’t otherwise think of buying. They come in the form of billboards, banners on websites, commercials on TV during commercial break.
Okay yeah a preview for content that’s on the same platform can be like an ad, or a type of ad, but I’ve already paid for the streamijg service so it’s not really trying to get me to spend extra money on something else so I guess that’s why I think of them seperately from ads.
As for FBI warnings and producer logos (besides displaying the logo of whomever made the thing you’re already watching), what are they advertising?
CoolMatt@lemmy.cato Television@lemm.ee•Streaming Is Now Just As Crowded With Ads As Old School TVEnglish41·11 days agoApple put some ads up for other shows of theirs, but made them skippable
TBH I don’t get why we call those ads. Back in the day of VHS/DVD, we called those previews. That’s still how I think of them, and imo there’s a difference between that an an advertisement, which would be for a car, investment app, brand of tampons, etc that have nothing to do with the streaming platform’s content they have to offer.
Why do we lump the two things together?
CoolMatt@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What would this list look like for your generation?1·12 days agoI get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person, but 4th person is a new concept to me and I’m trying tl wrap my head around it given your examples. This is intersting
Edit: OOOOHH so it’s like 3rd person where you’re talking to the second person about another person, BUT instead of that person being a specific person (3rd person) it’s more like a “they/them” kind of thing where it’s not any specific person but just… Anyone at all?

If it bothers the teacher THAT MUCH, they picked the wrong profession
CoolMatt@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What would this list look like for your generation?1·12 days agoOmg I totally misread it. Another commenter explained that it’s spanish for something like don’t BS me
CoolMatt@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•What would this list look like for your generation?3·12 days agoI don’t get why 3, 10, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 22 would be on that list. Some of those arw completely normal words on their own.
Okay Low taper fade probably references something but I don’t get it. No names? On what? People just go around saying “no names”? In what context? What does it even mean?
Someone whom? Doesn’t sound right

CoolMatt@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security4·16 days agoUghhh, it’s so difficult these days. People tend to use a wink to be passive aggressive or facetious and I mistakenly took it that way.
Oh well, water under the fridge! Hope you have a good day today :)
CoolMatt@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Poilievre rushed to safety after actual journalist question makes it past security3·16 days agoWith such a short sentence, it was probably quicker or easier for them to type it out than to do all the work of highlighting and copying it, given how tedious that can be with our tiny little touch screen phones, which is what most users are on these days as opposed to desktop.
Hair splitting aside, I take you didn’t notice my little ironic typo I slid in there as as a joke, which is all my comment was meant to be. Sorry you didn’t find it as funny as I’d hoped.

This, and, speaking for myself, I once thought that’s literally how you attract someone because that’s what my mom taught me. “be nice to women, find a nice girl, ???, marriage.” in that order. But I was nice to everyone, not just people I liked.
The one time I ever talked about how nice I thought I was, was when I was 18 and the girl I liked called me creepy when I was being nice to her all the time showering her with compliments and ttying to hang out with her. I went on this little rant, out of frustration, on FB in a status update about how women were bitches for not liking me and calling me creepy when I’ve just been trying to he nice to them. Yeah, at that point, that status update wasn’t exaclty being nice to anyone.
Actually that was probably when I took a look at myself and realized just being nice isn’t gonna cut it, and my mom’s advice was shit. THEEEEEN, a few years later I heard about Nice Guys™
It’s okay I’m now 32 and I have seen the light, it’s just took me until a couple years ago to figure it all out
Even if it wasn’t shooting blanks, there’s also wind, and trajectory and stuff like that
