Are we seriously gonna play the "but what do these words actually mean" card for "illegal" and "immigrant?" Kinda stupid ass takes that give credibility to online age verification. My comment wasn't a serious definition, it was deliberately drawing attention to the absurdity of asking to define a phrase with a total of two words both of which are highly specific, unambiguous and descriptive of the very thing they mean. At the point where phrases like this need to be rigorously explained and defined, we're in a "learning the language for the first time and doesn't actually know what words mean" scenario
I didn't ask the initial question
I'm replying to you and what you said
"Stupid Ass Takes" is Lemmy's catchphrase. I swear this place makes reddit look tame sometimes.
Usually the free market place of ideas ensures that the ideas, values and knowledge of all people are refined and weighed against each other. This naturally elevates and expands collective knowledge.
On Lemmy however there are only bad ideas so it works to ensure that everyone is on an equal playing field of truly intellectually deficient opinions. And I'm here for it. Can't have fun on Reddit like you can on Lemmy.
