☞ The Archive Roadmap needs to die a slow and painful death. It is evil, pure and utter evil. Betaing the translation was rather enlightening, though. The English language sucks. If you want to explain something very precisely, it just isn't the best option. German, on the other hand, is a rather precise language. Which leads to an insane amount of problems when translating.

ffrantsrants post about something more or less unimportant, but for some reason, people think using Hitler icons is A OK, even after being told that mockery and Hitler only go together when Hitler is the one being mocked. I'm desensitized and rather apathetic towards "grammar nazi", but I fully understand why it's NOT FUNNY. Giving "feminazi" as another example why it's okay to use "nazi" this way? NOT FUNNY EITHER!
☞ And now something NOTFUNNY that's actually funny.
