    I know the difference between f and v, the question is whether it makes a difference in this specific case and if yes, whether most native English speakers actually know that. I’m not a native English speaker and words that end in -ooves aren’t that common (when is the last time you said “grooves” or “hooves”?).

    English is famously inconsistent about how written letters are pronounced, and there are a lot of accents.





  • you couldn’t just leave reddit politics-wise because the frontpage literally hammered you with it, so you’d have to stand your ground and fight until users or mods waded in. But here? You can leave lemmy politics-wise because the frontpage is either your subs or local posts filtered through your block lists.

    How is this different from Reddit? Reddit has a user feed that consists of communities you’re subscribed to and lemmy’s All is the direct equivalent to r/all, i.e. Reddit’s front page, and you could also block communities (at least with Reddit Enhancement Suite, not sure if that’s a feature of the Reddit itself). The main difference is the existence of instances and their Local feeds. Note that it’s been a while since I used Reddit beyond looking at Reddit posts that I found in web searches, might be that the feeds don’t work like I remember them anymore.






  • IMO it’s a valid concern with this kind of thing, the issue is where you go from there - you could easily use this to outlaw certain practices entirely, or you just do research and make an effort about informing people about the dangers (if any) and how to do it more safely. And yes, I do also disapprove of the kinds of sports that frequently lead to disabilities, especially if the sportsmen and -women aren’t properly informed or even coerced (definitely a concern in professional sports).

    No problem with continence so far.

    AFAIK this will often be a concern in later years, as the tissues becomes less elastic etc. with age. On top of that, a lot of the media around anal are promoting harmful practices - anal fissures are definitely unhealthy and can lead to dangerous infections. Not saying you are practicing or promoting harmful practices, but it’s common.
