Look at the hands in the upper corners, looks pretty AI-ish.

of the English language

Kafka

Chekhov

Maupassant

Gogol

Huh?

Also, is it weird that I haven't heard of the first two writers on the list at all? And why is Poe not "literary"?

yes, of course I'm addicted to doomscrolling on the Blåhaj Zone 😎

Definitely go for speed. Glaive already has massive damage, whereas reducing the speed could be dangerous.

My new IKEA shelf when I put all my books in it be like:

If course not, but it's a parody of a pre-existing meme, so ordinary authorship and ownership don't really apply here anyway.

Though let's be honest, this is not one of the influential/important things regarding Musk that should be reported on. It's just some idiots online claiming they'd do something they can't do, in order to make Musk-senpai notice them; it's not even about Musk per se.

but users from that instance remain visible.

So I'll still have to see their obnoxious emoji, eh...

Scrolling through the thread, I think that enough native speakers with no disabilities have found the wording confusing, to the point where there's no need to appeal to non-natives and those with disabilities to prove it is just confusing word choice.

As a non-native (who also misunderstood the sentence at first), I wouldn't want people to adapt or simplify their language for my sake.

But nobody here is actually excusing Musk's behaviour. You're arguing against something that hasn't been claimed, with weirdly authoritarian rhetoric at that.

Downvoting makes comments less visible. So downvoting is the equivalent of taping someone’s mouth shut because you don’t agree with them. Is that really what you are trying to do?

This is ridiculous, especially the comparison with physical violence. Upvoting a comment also makes all the other comments less visible, by promoting the comment you've picked, taking up the place where some other comment could've been. Nobody's mouth is taped shut by either upvoting or downvoting, all the comments are still visible, it's just that their order will be determined by the upvotes and downvotes - and removing the latter from the equation won't negate the "discrimination" (comment sorting) created by the former.
