English needs a word for the inclusive or, and I'm down for committing robbery against one of our top victims. (infosec.pub)
 

You know when something can be either "or" or "and?" You may also say it is "and" and or "or"; "or" and/or "and," if you will. That's the inclusive or!

The Latin "vel" is a word for the inclusive or. I also just learned that the logic symbol, ∨, is called "vel" and is used for something called "disjunction" as opposed to "exclusive disjunction (⊻)," which is simply the exclusive or, which is the regular or in English.

Apparently the legal term "vel non" uses this word to mean "or not," which means there's at least a chance of it making it out of the courtroom and into the common lingo like quid pro quo, de jure, and de facto, did.

Looks like it's happening! in c/boostforlemmy@lemmy.world

Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

No, you don't have to tip. Really unfortunate that some people rely on tips for their wage, but If you don't tip, you're NTA.

What if we made the mouse's nose red and used it as the dot of the question mark?

I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

POLL: Should we allow content migration bots? in c/lemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com
[–] Doctor8@infosec.pub 1 points 1 year ago

On grounds of NSFW communities, we have to get the bots. People don't come to this page to look at 14 posts on each board. They come to them for the same reason they come to the reddit versions of these subs.

Aren't we trying to compete here? Aren't we trying to show the refugees a good time? We ought bot.

You can take a man out of reddit, but you can't take the reddit out of a man.
