Are there actually people complaining that she’s ugly…? She literally looks like a model, just with some scars.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but a sociopath can’t “develop” empathy. They lack the ability.

Pff, millions? How about 3 billions!

The light bird had it coming. I voted for dark bird because it won’t eat MY babies.

Technically, it’s not about the display technology, but instead about the signal/tuner. More specifically if it’s analog or digital. Some modern TVs still have analog or hybrid tuners for backwards compatibility and regions that still use analog, so they can display static. For instance, in Ukraine we finished the switch to digital TV only a couple of years ago. If your TV had no digital tuner (as was the case for many) you had to buy a DAC box. Retirees/pensioners got them for free, sponsored by the government.

I’m doing their music course and it includes a song called Spanish or Vanish. With some lyrics, too.

Maybe?! There’s a scenario where people put their feet on the couch wearing outdoor shoes?! 😱

I can’t parse the first sentence. Might be a morning thing. Can somebody help?

Kings.

I was going to say this, too. It definitely applies to some games, but not the original Crash trilogy. I replay those games every 5-10 years.

Yeah, ok. I suppose that helps a bit. This kind of ambiguity exists in pretty much all languages, but good to know there’s some justification for that rule.

See my other comment in the thread, it applies to pretty much all languages that capitalize letters.

It’s just so weird, I know many languages, some don’t use capitalization at all, sure, but all that do use it do it for names and start of sentences. Sometimes whether a word is a name or a noun is different from language to language (for example language names, some capitalize them, some don’t), but is a separate issue.
And languages make grammatical changes even to this day, it’s never too late to change something that has no benefit or hinders the usage.

Oh. So what’s the point of capitalizing things if it doesn’t help to differentiate a name from a regular noun?

But why is “children” capitalized?

Or worse… expelled.

– No, don’t call my mother, she’ll be so mad! She told me that if I die I shouldn’t come back home for dinner…

Appreciate the Cutting Crew reference. But I can and I will.

According to my brain, every time I have to interact with a stranger.

Right, the Vault-Tec approach.
