My hearing has great frequency range... But I often can't understand people.

My vision is decent, and I can control it well (for seeing stereograms, etc)... But I require glasses to see farther than a few inches (around a decimeter) clearly.

My sense of smell is extremely weak, that's both a nerf and a buff. But it means my sense of taste is largely based on degree of salty/sweet/etc. and I can't easily tell nuance (like between different brands of the same food/drink)

This can even happen to technical terms, for example bimonthly now has both the original meaning of once every 2 months, and also means semimonthly, twice a month.

In other words it's completely worthless as a word because it fails to specify between conflicting meanings.

And yet transphobes can write about witches, with unfortunately great success.

Probably to just let her go free after signing an NDA.

If I remember right there was an episode where they summoned him without heart, and he was a jerk.

That's basically newsletters, forum digests, podcasts, etc.

 

The links inside the linked post are relative links, such as xkcd which is a link to /c/xkcd@lemmy.world

Boost does not open them when tapped, flashing an error instead.

There are unfortunately some subreddits which are still the best place to find timely info about certain topics - for example video game subs run by the developers of the game. Lemmit is a way to subscribe to those while not giving Reddit any more "engagement" or ad views.

The bot that runs Lemmit only posts on its own instance, so users like me only see it when we subscribe explicitly (or the All view I guess, but that's a mixed bag already. Edit: and each user could choose to ban it if they want)
