Were judged by are actions and what we did in life. Dieing does not make you a better person.

I'll speak ill of anyone living or dead. Dumb concept

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, it's not like Republicans said horrible things people Ice shot, or trans people, or the kids at Sandy Hook.

...it's not like Trump called war dead losers.

I will speak ill of the dead, I will speak frankly about the life they lived and if they or their family or their supporters are ashamed of it then that speaks more of their values than me speaking about their misdeeds. I get not focusing on someone's failings but not remembering someone for their intentional actions is a disservice to their legacy and our future history.

If they're ashamed of his legacy then why didn't he or they try to right his wrongs?

Would it kill you to use spell check?

[–] Cyclist@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Alas spell check wouldn't fix the were or the are. When I see this I give them the benefit of the doubt and assume English is their second language. Still drives me insane though.

I'm a context before accuracy person. If I can understand what they're saying and their point, I'll let minor things go. I will go back and reedit my own mistakes though, over and over, because I can't stand myself doing it. But I'm here for the discussion, not the grammar and spelling grading.

This is a rather natural conclusion once you realize all grammar rules are decided by some committee somewhere. They're not some law of nature. That being said, it also pains me greatly to find mistakes in my own text.

First week on the internet, eh?

Catholicism unironically teaches this, and you can even skip the charity part.
