Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: https://fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=1000

Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!

      Could also be The Netherlands, where an already fallen government managed to fall again. (meaning that 2 of the 4 leading parties have so far stepped out of the coalition)

        While the letters are adjacent, I don’t think that was a typo. “Finna” is pretty common slang, just a variant of “gonna”

            I get my American slang through Hollywood and Internet, so the curriculum may not be entirely comprehensive at times.

            For further clarity, it’s a shortening of “fitting to” just like how “gonna” is a shortening of “going to.” As BremboTheFourth said, the two are synonymous.

                Wiktionary suggests both “fixing to” and “fitting to” are used synonymously. Fwiw, in Tennessee, I only ever hear “fixing to”. As someone who learned English outside of the southern US, it makes little sense to me also. But what makes even less sense to me is people saying “trying to” to mean “want to”.

                  Huh, I’ve never heard anyone say fitting to.

                  Trying to make more sense to me, because you haven’t done what you’re attempting, but you are attempting
