@midnightapple_@trauma_donut@airkatakana@HMC93 @iskandarzhilmi Okay, but we're talking in the context of a specific proverb/idiom in Japanese where both are commonly used by native speakers. In this case, the "stake" changed to a "nail" being hammered down, probably just to use an object that was more common in modern context.
@midnightapple_@trauma_donut@airkatakana@HMC93 @iskandarzhilmi People say "chomping at the bit" when the original expression is "champing at the bit." The original correct version is used so rarely by native speakers at this point, that most people would assume you made a mistake.

@VampireHusbando@VailleVamp Yeah, I agree entirely, and I understand the place it's coming from. I read a pretty astute comment about harboring resentment as a coping response re: the Uki stuff. But I also believe that "holding resentment is like drinking poison and hoping the other person gets hurt"
@VampireHusbando@VailleVamp I understand what people actually mean, but does anyone really want to hear their identity attacked and then read into the footnote, "Oh, don't worry, you're one of the good ones?" There are already too many people who wrongly think "toxic masculinity" just means "men."
@VampireHusbando@VailleVamp The biggest lie that MRAs/RedPill/etc. use to recruit is telling them, "The source of your problems isn't patriarchy, it's feminists who hate you." The fight isn't between men and feminists, but between everyone and patriarchy but those statements make their lie easier to believe
@lcamtuf Adjusted for inflation, the robber barons of old like Rockefeller and Carnegie are analogues of Arnault and Zuckerberg. The Winklevosses are trying to sell NFTs because their paltry few billion make them closer to working class than that crowd's net worth 🤣
@feuer_ameise It is because Twitter as a platform encourages engagement and phrasing in ways that allow for misunderstanding.
Men receive fewer compliments than women. But if one suggested "complimenting men more and women less" it seems to suggest dismantling patriarchy is a zero sum game.
@MrSlinkey3 You think maybe the settings on the fire selector switch aren't the relevant part of the story? Life isn't just about splitting the world into two teams and cheering for bad things to happen or making fun of people on the other one.
@csubagio As you say, it doesn't make sense. I know of specific cases where kneejerk FAANG layoffs based on bottom lines and interest rates were made, only for severance and signing bonuses to have to be repaid as they rehired. Retaining talent and building products are no longer a focus.
@csubagio It's literally just late stage capitalism. It's not just "finance people," the entirety of C-suite attitudes going from building businesses off of products vs. riding these cyclical waves to grind people into "shareholder returns" has been decades in the making.
@CourtneeHendrix @Mxlcxxx @BancoHavinIt Saying it "won't happen again, now stop talking" to me is different. The standard I hold myself to for accountability is telling the other person I shouldn't have done that, and apologizing. Talking 100% about the future rather than the past isn't being accountable.
And issue 115, January 1993. This one may be a bit more interesting to most people as it has some photos from the Yuusei Sega World event.
