Using the wrong register for the material or topic. For example, using very literary language in a technical manual.... No, "peculiarities" is not an appropriate synonym for "features" or "specs".

First heard about it on r/dndmemes during the API shit storm. I stick around because it's so much nicer. Smaller, yes, but easier to curate I guess? I read about my specific interests and just vibe.

I used to do that too! But living in Eastern Europe, our shampoo bottles had like twenty languages. I didn't manage to learn any, but I did develop a sense of how closely related they were.

Cyborg-like implants. I want titanium joints and UV vision and magnetic field sensors and charging my phone by laying it on my belly. Uncap each finger to reveal a small tool: screwdriver, USB key, cutting blade, etc.

Note that none of that includes or requires a constant connection to a network/internet. I want to augment my interactions with the real world, not replace them with a virtual world.

I'm a public servant, so while it's easy to tell people I work for The Government, it's a lot harder to explain what I do. My job is a mish-mash of like three different roles in one of the least popular departments. When people ask, I say I work for (our version of) the DMV, and that's usually good enough.

Charmeleon! Wartortle,

Mewtwo, Tentacruel, Aerodactyl,

Another clue it isn't Quebec is that Quebec wouldn't bother having a separate US section when the States are just a couple hours drive away.
