    You’re not doing your home country any favors. Your inability to understand the situation is astounding really. Where are you from that made you so damn smart?

        If that was a typo for America, and you are trying to say you’re American, you’ve got at least one thing in a prior comment that’s a dead giveaway that you are not.

            Wat? I made one comment replying to one word in which a letter was replaced with an exclamation point. I wanted to be sure I didn’t misunderstand anything before I said too much. Where did I claim to be smarter than anyone, and what evidence did I make to the contrary?

                  Again, since you have a friend on the mod team in this community, ! Is the not operator in pretty much all programming languages, including those taught to children. You not knowing that does not make the other user stupid, as you have implied. Have a good day, and I hope you get better soon.

                    I am friends with nobody here, even if someone was sympathetic.

                    I am, in fact, a programmer (old enough to have not learned any language as a child) and am well-aware that “!” means not in many languages. I also have enough self-awareness to realize that not everyone would make that connection, and figured someone may have hit the symbol button on their phone keyboard instead of shift and hit “!” instead of “A”. Somehow that seemed more plausible than “assume everyone knows programming syntax, even in a place like Lemmy, and choose to use that”

                    Fun fact: my job has made me dabble in a system so old and archaic, it uses “'” (single-quote, to save you a squint) as the “not” operator. “!” is used for newline.

                Your submission in “TikTok tells LA staff impacted by wildfires to use personal/sick hours if they can’t work from home” was removed for Rule 3.
