    It fits perfectly well. The placement changes the emphasis subtly.

    “That’s a tall fucking building”

    “That’s a fucking tall building”

    The second calls the listener’s attention to the emphasized aspect whereas the first might reference the height in relation to other aspects… but would be more context dependent than the second form.














  • If you listen to the people on Lemmy, everything is incompatible with capitalism. So do we cower in the corner and hope the problems away?

    The amount of death and destruction attributable to all nuclear accidents since we figured out fission is barely statistically significant when compared to fossil fuel consumption.

    Regulatory agencies can and do keep accidents from happening. Not always, because people are both stupid and corrupt. But mostly.

    Capitalism isn’t going away any time soon. Maybe in a post fusion world, we’ll cross the threshold of post-scarcity too. Until that happens, we do the best we can with the tools at our disposal.

    You could make the same argument about literally anything. Capitalism caused the 737Max disasters. You want to give up planes?
