        Why the hell do you care enough to post that here? What difference is it to you if they type pr0n or porn? The ‘you’re not cussing enough’ crowd confuses the fuck out of me

          Since when is porn cursing? No one is chastising anyone for not cursing. You can talk like an adult here and use actual words. Mummy won’t shout at you.

          I mean, you still “cussed”. Switching two letters around doesn’t change the meaning and the original word doesn’t hold any special powers.

          I agree it’s not much to make a reply about.

          I think the attitude stems from the view that using placeholder words for swear words is often associated with religious/puritanical attitudes since there’s not really a reason to do it so the user reacts as they would to puritanical people invading their community i.e. hostile.

          I think that’s not as true today but that’s where the backlash comes from.

            You know, God forbid somebody uses voice dictation which bleeps it out or has to switch between work chats and social media.

            Fuck, Even if it is somebody puritanical quoting on something they’ve got 70 up votes and somebody else has to come in and removed at them because they might have sellf censored a word.

            I think I’m just going to do the same rant every time someone plays that shit.

    The Fediverse Scamgirl!

    Awkward Nerd Girls Want In Your DMs! They’re not in your area, just online!

    I almost made this same post and then decided I didn’t care enough. This was my take on the same;

    Also interesting that she has a different username literally everywhere and she’s speaking English, “from” Toronto, on a Swedish Lemmy instance.

      Also, the term “pre-health science”, that “she” used has never been used in Canada as far as I know. We don’t even say pre-med. Either you are in med school, or you are trying to get in, taking a variety of courses. There is no defined set of courses that we call pre-med.

      Other differences between us and the US regarding post-secondary education:

      Canadian universities are also almost completely free of fraternities and sororities.

      We have sports scholarships, but they are nowhere near as lavish as in the US. Sports in general is a minor sideline for Canadian universities.

      And to us, college always means community college. University is university (and never “uni” as some benighted countries call it).
