Yeah, I believe the phrase is short for the weather:

What’s the weather doing?

It is raining.

Context matters. Always. One person can use a word and it will be not racist, another can use the same term and it will be racist. You should ask the person what they define as “civilized”. Their reasoning is your answer.

There is a difference between approaching a solution with “no, it’s not good enough” and “good, now let’s make it better”. It’s not really different if you strip feeling out of it, but in a greater context, that feeling means something.

I agree with your responses, but you’re overall using the former technique. That will rub people wrong and spark conflict.

Rape is an actual crime in the UK, it’s not a crime by name in New Jersey. They’re being consistent with charges based on the jurisdiction.

…is facing at least 10 years in prison if found guilty of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault, and second-degree endangerment to the welfare of a child…

Those are the legal terms for different kinds of rape.

Zelensky said something about X You said “well he didn’t do anything about Y”

That’s whataboutism. You may have meant it honestly, but ultimately what that kind of argument does is attempt to reduce zelenskys response to this action by comparing it to how he may have done something not as good in a different situation.

It’s the same statement with extra steps. To pretend otherwise is to be willfully ignorant.

Well, not quite. You’d have to have rights to the land to do that. Else someone could ride up and just take it from you.

So then it’s not worse?

To be fair, the line between those two is pretty thin. One does imply the other. You drawing a gulf between them is silly to me.

That’s not what blue collar/white collar crime is

If you do it for side money, you’re only accomplishing that by fucking someone else over. Otherwise you wouldn’t make money.

2010, simply because of how english works.

If you say 2001 as twenty one, it’s confusing. Same goes all the way up to “twenty nine”.

And it’s more syllables and slower to say “twenty oh one” vs “two thousand one”

“Twenty ten” and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.

Well, this is all very subjective. Idk what you do for a living, but there are massive differences between fact to fact communication and IM/email.

To say it’s outdated is just insane and flat wrong.

The ol’ double tap never fails

I cannot tell if you are being serious or just having fun with buzzwords

Seriously, fuck off with the AI shit. At best it’s intelligent regex. And “intelligence” here means a specific thing.

Thanks for the rundown.

I definitely must be old, because reading that makes my skin crawl.
