If you’re talking about just flipping left/right back, that’s not a big ask and not particularly hard to do.

I just assumed the current use of left/right was Americanised or something, considering how much of the English-speaking internet is American.

I’m fine admitting ignorance and I’m more than willing to learn and course-correct, but I’m not sure why you’re being petulant with me. If I was genuinely unwilling to learn anything and bullheaded, I imagine this type of conversation would just make me stubborn to change.

However, that’s just my experience when discussing something with people of a differing opinion. I generally find a calm and unemotional approach to be more beneficial for exploring ideas and perhaps changing views, especially so with conservatives, who consider progressives to be emotionally driven.

I get most of my news from Lemmy, but I welcome suggestions.

Probably just a spread of misinformation in that particular circle. The idea was that the meanings were literally inverted.

It could have possibly come from an older time in politics, or maybe started out malicious and just lost its edge.

I tend to be quite trusting, and I tend to refer to political views more as progressive/conservative rather than left/right, so I never really questioned where the idea came from.

My friends are very much progressive and prefer to vote for Labour or Green.

I suppose the people I’ve been talking to irl have mislead me then. I’ve been constantly corrected on it.

No, I mean left and right are literally reversed in British politics.

Progressives are right-wing and conservatives are left-wing specifically in Britain.

I think they’re referring to how Labour is right and Tories are left, unless I’m completely misreading it.

For artists the first thing that came to mind was Nightshade: https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/whatis.html

I’d rather we didn’t.

It’s irritating and is just moving people towards using VPNs.

I hated Brexit when it happened and I hate it still. I knew exactly what would happen to the UK the moment it was brought to my attention, and couldn’t believe it even managed to pass.

I forgot how easy it is to rile up people for a cause they’re ignorant on by simply lying to their faces. It’s much easier to shout along with some fucking twat screaming about how “immigrants are bad!” than it is to sit down and actually read anything established economists are publishing about the matter.

It was a complete waste of time the moment the notion was even brought up, and the regret was inevitable.

My mother is Asian and my father is British. My father had a pen pal that was a friend of my mother’s, and my mother also decided to write to him. I believe they wrote for about two years before deciding that if they want a relationship, they’ll have to get married. So my mother moved to Britain and they were married within the month.

Before the internet (and Facebook) became more accessible, my mother would write to her family often and occasionally call, which was expensive.

My sister-in-law, the chillest and least likely person I know to ever say this, actually wished death on Trump the other day. He’s done so much global damage, and it hasn’t even been a year.

He’s an actual scourge.

I tend to prefer bigger games delay purely so they don’t release as buggy messes (hello, Cyberpunk 2077).

Hoping they use that time to refine what they have and maybe even have it ported to PC for release.

When our new kitten decided her favourite scratching post was the doorframe outside the bathroom, we went ahead and bought one of those hanging scratching mats to nail over it.

Saved the doorframe, and have a happy kitten.

I don’t think I’ve seen a more gen-AI game before in my life.

I just assumed she might be British due to spelling/tone. Cats have been around here for about 1,600 years and it’s considered fairly normal to let them out.

They should be rallying for his impeachment.
