Some months back, there was a thread here on Lemmy where people were discussing western names written using Chinese characters. Phonetically, the names will sound alike. But meaning-wise, the characters will result in a Correct Horse Battery Staple-esque string of words.

Which is why I have since decided to make passwords by typing random names into a Chinese name generator and using the English translated result.

Sounds like a lot of work, but the way I see it, trying to think of new passwords is always work so I might as well have fun with it.

It’s the same capsaicin you know and love, but with the additional burn of hydrochloric acid!

In case anyone came to the comments looking for directions on how to opt out:

1. Go to Settings. 2) Scroll down and select “Photos.” 3) Locate the “Enhanced Visual Search” option. Turn off the toggle.

Fair enough. But do most people really think it’s healthy to shout at their partners when they disagree over something? I’m kind of shocked at how many people are voting as if that’s a normal expectation in a relationship.

A relationship that never fights is unrealistic and a problem

I’m not sure how you define “fight.” For me (and probably many others), it conjures an image of violence.

A lot of people in relationships resolve disagreements through discussion. If a partner were unable to discuss an issue without getting violent (even non-physical violence, like shouting), they wouldn’t remain my partner. Point is, being able to resolve issues in a mature way is a basic requirement for many relationships.

I know that isn’t everyone’s experience though. I can only imagine how much crap you’ve been through for “relationship fights” to feel so normal. I’m sorry, that has to really suck. :(

I imagine that phenomenon is similar to how super sheltered kids become the wildest teenagers/young adults (whichever age they are when they first get a taste of freedom.) Like how people with newfound freedom often party hard with it, people who’ve never been in a position of power before can easily take their new authority too far.

Totally not excusing it. It’s not some inevitable “human nature” thing. There are good parents, teachers, and others in positions of authority that take their responsibility to others seriously. They’re the ones that allow some modicum of function in society.

But those who seek power for its own sake are going to be ruthless about it. Then once someone has power, it’s extremely difficult for them to let it go.

Spoken rhymes rely on repeating a similar sound. I imagine a “rhyme” in sign language would probably involve repeating a similar gesture. The fun of rhymes is in the similarity and repetition, after all. If two (or more) signs involve making a similar pattern, it’s probably amusing to pair them together in the same way it’s amusing to pair two rhyming spoken words.

trespassing?

This is why the last time I made a sign for a pro-choice event, I made it in the shape of a uterus with a warning sign inside it, saying, “NO TRESPASSING: Violators may be aborted.”

They value property rights, so it seems only fitting to frame access to our bodies by using their own arguments.

Thank you! Reproductive freedom includes not just access to abortion, but also the choice of how many children (if any) to have. Applying arbitrary restrictions to the number of kids other people can have would be the same kind of controlling garbage.

Does refusing to program a drone prevent a cancer patient from receiving treatment? Do these drones prevent organ rupture in ectopic pregnancies? When asked to program armed drones, are you also sitting face-to-face with a person who is suffering or dying because you aren’t actively programming them?

The denial of healthcare involves victims. Nobody’s hurt when you refuse to do a drone-programming job, but witholding a medically-necessary abortion directly results in avoidable human suffering. That’s the key difference that makes these situations incomparable.
