Hahahahahaha

Fuck'em

But the pendant in me points out that the company didn't change an internal policy for what they consider mental illness, just now theyre allowing ~~hate speech~~ "free* speech"

Now I wonder if that would pass muster as a legal argument - meta doesn't necessarily believe this as our policy, but we allow people to express their hate on this platform

The pedant in me points out that you misspelled "pedant".

Thank you for your service.

The pendant in me thinks they got it perfect.

No, after a harrowing run-in with the Witch of the Swamp, they had a talisman embedded in their chest that forces them to warn people when they need to be both pragmatic and somber.

So it literally is the pendant in them.

Thanks, I appreciate it. The witch's evil pendant doesn't have a spell check. (Ironic, I think so)

[–] agitated_judge@sh.itjust.works 6 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sure the witch has a spell book though.

(I'll show myself out now)

She has a dictionary, yeah.

Probably an overlook of autocorrect.

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

No, there is no way this could be right. But....if it is, thank you so much for explaining it. I feel better just knowing you're on the case!

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 14 hours ago

The pendant in me submits that there is a difference between plain old misspelling and unintentional autocorrect.
