It always comes across to me as a very american thing, specifically trying to make something feel older than it actually is.
I’m something like HelloThere XV because the firstborn son in my family has had the same name since at least the 1700s - even across language when we got forcibly relocated for sheep.
Would my future son be XVI? Sure - but they won’t have the actual numerals.
A - UK uses Trident, an American launch system, so it’s likely that any attack against America by the UK would somehow be disabled
B - that’s not how MAD works. If France, or the UK, launched anything nuclear the retaliation would be immediate and immense.
C - why try to invade 11 million canadians when there are only a few tens of thousands of greenlanders? If an intra-NATO war happens, that’s the more likely one imo.
I can finally turn my heating down! I feel like a bag of domesticated coconut.
Yes, definitely.
What I remind myself is that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. It’s perfectly OK to say that after a long day your brain is soup and you just want to chill for the evening.
It’s also fine to say that your tired, but will come out for one or two and then leave, and then do just that. Obviously if you find yourself having a better time and enjoying it you can stay out.
I find that adults respect other adults more if you are upfront about your own boundaries. You also don’t need to make excuses, try to have the confidence to be straight forward and say you’re tired and will skip this one, or whatever.
Set up a VPN to get back inside your network if you’re outside it. Then you don’t need HA (or anything else for that matter) to be public.
Fucking is a perfectly acceptable pause word.
It continues to fascinate me how self-proclaimed small-gov libertarians always find themselves making their money off of government.
I thought the weenis was a dance?
Correct; GDP is a dumb measure, and even its inventor said it cannot be used alone.
Ew.
Mark is just a name for wrestling fans. There’s some connection to terms used by workers in carnivals in the early 1900s, but these days is largely ironic.
/c/squaredcircle is great, if you’re a filthy mark.
If you want to watch shows while travelling, get the fucking train.
Hunt other rich men for sport, and have my very expensive team of lawyers keep me out of prison.
Stop trying to do the nasty in the pasty.
I’m not sure what country you’re in - in the UK there is a charity called “Citizens Advice” which, as the name suggests, can help you with legal, financial, and housing issues. They aren’t a type of benefit, but they know the law and your rights and will give correct advice and provide advocacy and support if required, is there anything equivalent to this where you live?
Wait, do they actually think getting it to summarise the wiki page on the trolley problem is actually going to stop their people mowers mowing down people?
If you get a good one
Yeah that’s a better way of phrasing it.
