Genuinely asking because I have always manually set my default on a new device.

I find that people generally use “this” and “next” correctly but it depends how the week is being perceived. I think it might depend what day of the week it currently is. Like if it’s Sunday, someone might say “next Saturday” to mean the first coming Saturday. But if someone says “next Saturday” on a Thursday they definitely mean the second coming Saturday.

mars296@kbin.socialto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?241·1 year agoNot necessarily. They could be down voted because what they mentioned is hated for a good reason. Like if someone posts “Nazis” or “cancer”.

mars296@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Cops and gun owners could get immunity from most wrongful death lawsuits under proposed Louisiana legislation11·1 year agoGoggle translate doesn’t have Louisiana Creole since there is only 10k speakers. Haitian Creole is actually the only Creole language it has. Probably because there are 12 million speakers and they have a decent population in the US.
I don’t know why you call me lazy for not doing hours of research for a quick comment letting you know 2 languages are different. I didn’t say that they weren’t similar. They are distinct. Especially in writing the differences would be obvious due to spelling differences to words that are pronounced similarly. I found some Louisiana Creole online to show you the difference:
English: Where do you come from?
Louisiana Creole: Éyou to sòr?
Haitian Creole: Ki kote ou soti?English: What did you say?
Louisiana Creole: Ki ça to di?
Haitian Creole: Kisa ou te di?Some things are very similar and some things are very different. But especially when written, they are obviously distinct.

I actually recognized it hat you wrote as probably being Haitian Creole but I had to double check with a translator. I don’t speak Louisiana Creole and Wikipedia says there is only 10,000 speakers.
I saw your Creole response and was wondering why someone would respond to an English post in Creole and went to your profile to see if you were Haitian. Then I realized your joke lol

mars296@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•A California man was found with 1 million rounds of ammo and 248 illegally owned guns in his house, state authorities say23·1 year agoBased on the picture, he was definitely a collector. There are multiple collector’s items in there. That said, he could be a black market dealer who also purchased collector’s items for himself when he came across them. Also, does California not have more restrictive laws regarding Suppressors, short barreled rifles, and fully automatic machine guns? I thought they had laws regulating magazines to 10 rounds?
Article confirms that machine guns are illegal in California. He had multiple World War 1 era machine guns and other pieces that could be in museums. This guy should have just moved to a neighboring state. He had the money.

Could be 1 shooter and 1 “good guy” with a gun trying to stop the shooter. Could be 2 shooter working together. Could be loud sound mistaken for gunfire and then 2 “good guys” try to save the day and shoot at each other.
In my opinion these are in order of most to least likely.

The cat tested negative for the virus but it “regularly hunted small mammals and frequently scratched the patient,” the bulletin said.
If a cat was frequently scratching me, I might just leave it alone. Getting scratched by stray cats is a bad idea.
