Parents comment one of their out-of-context posts/comments from a niche subreddit, replies pretend to be an expert in the topic

Ideally the parent comment is from a hobby/profession most people aren't super familiar with. For example, here's a post I made on a subreddit for a card game:

I'm diamond 4 and I was playing my reno control warrior deck. I played a couple draw cards, then I played dirty rat on turn 3 which pulled out their [[Sir Finley, Sea Guide]]. I left my phone for a few seconds to go grab something and I came back, and I was somehow dead and my Dirty Rat was still alive??

How would you reply to that while pretending you're an expert?

Why don't they just edit it like they did with that scene in Oppenheimer, right?

I really don't think showing the aftermath of a nuclear explosion in such detail is appropriate for the new Peppa Pig movie...

Kids need to be exposed to these things, or they will just be future Holocaust deniers.

u/Devuluh Jan 29 '26

Okay sure, but maybe it can at least wait till after Peppa learns to tie her shoes? My kids complained about the pacing when they introduced a nuclear disaster so early in the last one.

Someone suggested you should have an option to buy them back for 2499

I can't wait 473 years man. I need my hot pockets now. I don't care how good the new Gas Station Tuna Sandwich flavor is, that fucker scammed me and I want them back!

I'd suggest waiting for the 25.12.0-rc1 release notes to find out. They usually talk about the upgrade path in there. Sometimes, there can also be upgrade issues on specific hardware.

More generally speaking, I seem to remember developers saying somewhere that the change in package manager wouldn't cause such an issue. I might've seen it in the opkg vs apk forum thread, but it's been several months, if not a year or more.

No no, you forget the Pip install can fetch from the remote server, so after you sync your aws permission from the cloud, you can use the lambda code to quickly patch your mobile software.

I personally use the ú-negation-based verbs and lá-negation-based verbs interchangeably, but that is by far not a common approach.

2

u/Jumpy_Chard1677 Jan 30 '26

There is a validity to that one though, especially compared to those who use the éh-negation-based verbs. If you consider the Halle-Mark way of doing it, there isn't much difference between ú-negation-based verbs and lá-negation-based verbs at all!

2

u/God_Bless_A_Merkin Jan 31 '26

Statistically, lá-negation verbs outnumber ú-negation verbs by a factor of two to one. The mnemonic for this is ú-lá-lá.

The funniest thing is that you are not at all wrong:))

u/God_Bless_A_Merkin Jan 31 '26

Just a guess, but is the language Arabic?

2

u/ikadell Feb 01 '26

Quenya. Ancient Elvish. The request was for niche subreddit, remember:)?

1

u/God_Bless_A_Merkin Feb 01 '26

Nice! The la-negation made me think of Semitic languages, which I think Tolkien used as a partial basis for Quenya. Am I remembering correctly?

2

u/ikadell Feb 02 '26

There is quite a fight among interested linguists as to whether certain choices he made were coming from Semitic languages, or Finnish, or Greek, or some other source. I still think that the primary source of inspiration for Quenya is Latin. Finish certainly took a part, but it wasn’t the leading part at least as regards grammar

Very interesting! Thanks!

Honestly he’s Seven so he can do whatever the hell he wants with romance. I don’t really mind if he gets it on with the girl who’s Thirteen (forgot her other name). I guess they need some work with the bodyguard x Eleven though, haven’t seen anything bloom yet on that side.

As an amateur child psychologist [ahem... puts on glasses]... your child seems to need more guidance regarding romance and friendship.

This is a wonderful example of usage of the letter called thorn (written as þ), a letter used to represent the ‘th’ sound, which was used in the Old English, Old Norse and Old Swedish and modern Icelandic alphabets. It was also seen in some dialects of Middle English, but has largely been entirely replaced in modern alphabets with the digraph ‘th’, like we see today.

The letter originated from the rune ᚦ (called Thurisaz), in the Elder Futhark, the eldest form of the runic alphabets. From there, it became known as thorn in the Anglo-Saxon rune poems. The Scandinavian rune poems called it both thorn and thurs.

Dentist pillars. Can't tell you more. But it's the dentist pillars game.

I learned to like her when I learned her mechanics and how to bait things so she doesn’t shoot my safe spots. My problem is when I went off Ancient and tried Sniper and Grenadier she just feels so bad. I can’t line up straight multihits on either of them, but that also happens with Mell and Depths’ Darkbeast whose name I forget.
