jezebelkat, 9 months ago to random What is the stupidest, most dangerous teen shit you ever did? For me, I am pretty sure it is when at 15, I car surfed on top of my friend's Ford Explorer on a highway going at speed. Honestly, it is a wonder I didn't fall off and die.

jezebelkat, 9 months ago to random How did I not know that Tenchi Muyo OVA, started in 1992, had its most recent season in 2020-2021, which I haven't seen! Guess it's time for a rewatch of something I haven't seen in nearly 30 years.

jezebelkat, 9 months ago @YamaguchiSake No way. The whole is COMPRISED OF its parts. "A whole comprises its parts" is backwards. The parts comprise the whole. I'm sorry, the dictionary is wrong. At least in my dialect.

jezebelkat, 9 months ago @YamaguchiSake Looks like this is a long-standing argument. I always assumed it was a Britishism. I have never heard an American use it differently from me: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/can-you-use-comprised-of-grammar

TomatoGrilledCheese, 10 months ago to android Everyone's talked plenty about the iphone apps for Mastodon, but I don't recall seeing any discussion about the #Android apps. Is the official app for Android as bad as the one for iphone? I imagine there are alternatives there too.
