When people use "different" with a preposition other than "from". (Different to, different than)

I know it's not technically wrong, but it just feels so wrong.

Also, when people add a phantom R between two words. "I'm a big fan of cinema 'r' and video games."

Both stem from me not being a native English speaker, I think.

That's a small thing?

I live in Canada, where eggs need to be refrigerated, and yet I've never seen a fridge with an egg holder. I already have an egg holder. The box they came in.

Come to think of it, I've heard that all my life but never questioned it. Is it really true for all of them?

Jacob from TechLinked mentioned it. I had already dropped Reddit because the app sucks.

Wait have Canadian conservatives sunken that low? For real?

I didn't say they were perfect. They just seem less bad. At things stand, lethal injections simply do no go well as a standard.

I just thought that in real life, when they were out of on-stage roles, other children would do something else. But then again if the children are, like, 7, it's not like you can assign ALL the jobs to them.

I hadn't thought about it. But then again, I never did any sort of play at school.

And on top of that.

If you must have the death penalty (and really I'd challenge that but for the sake of argument let's say they must).

Then injections are one of the worst ways you can do it. Hanging and beheading are much more humane ways to end someone's life.

I thought casting students as inanimate objects or plants only happened in TV shows.

I may be missing something, but why can't you have the bank account and phone number both in Lebanon?

 

One thing I liked (and sometimes disliked) about Reddit was that my feed was a mix of posts in communities I'd joined and a few suggestions of posts from subs The Algorithm™ thought I might like.

On Lemmy I'm realizing I'm starting to fall into a bit of an echo chamber situation because I basically only see stuff I'm already a member of, unless I explicitly go to All or scroll the list of communities.

Are there less involved (lazy) ways of discovering new stuff and broadening my horizons a bit?
