At what point do you stop calling the years "two thousand and X" and start calling them "twenty X"?
  • 2010, simply because of how english works.

    If you say 2001 as twenty one, it's confusing. Same goes all the way up to "twenty nine".

    And it's more garbled and slower to say "twenty oh one" vs "two thousand one", especially if you're speaking quickly.

    "Twenty ten" and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.

  • Problems
  • To your first point, why? You know what the Internet is like outside the fediverse right?

    To your second, I guess you can. Don't know what it has to do with the subject at hand

  • Problems
  • Idk, you tell me. I'm suggesting that scarce resources not owned by anyone will get used by those who take it. This is a fact. What then? Is it bad? Is it ok? Pretending it's not a thing is to deny reality and all of human/life history

  • Problems
  • Presumably because everyone assumes the tragedy of the commons will happen as it always does. And, little red hen, there's a sense that if one person does the work, they are owed the fruits of their labor
