First you steal someone’s journal.

Then you post it on a public forum.

You’re a psycho.

This is making me notice that I wouldn’t say why and y the same: I’d say ‘why?’ with a descending tone, and ‘y?’ with a rising tone. I think the difference comes down to whether I’m asking for an explanation or for clarification. I don’t think I’d ever paid attention to that kind of distinction in speech before.

I got a voodoo for star wars episode 1 racer, now that was pod racing!

What you actually mean when you say ‘I assume people are smart enough’ is ‘I expect people to make the same assumptions as me’. People come from very different contexts. You can either drop that wall of qualifiers and be understood by most, or skip it and only have a few get your point. It sounds like you know why you’re being misinterpreted and, for whatever reason, want to keep it that way.

Rock doves (pigeons) evolved to live on cliff faces. Cities are covered in artificial cliff faces, i.e. buildings.

You think this isn’t happening in the rest of the world?

In the article they’re talking about the look of the place (which, still…) but it’s a bizarre quote to choose for that title.

I get that you’ve given up. I’m just saying you’re worse off for it. I’m sorry you’ve had such terrible experiences.

Because you’re a social animal who needs human contact and compassion to thrive. As disagreeable as that may sound it’s a big part of staying healthy. I get that it’s hard though.

I knew a guy in college who wouldn’t eat fish because he thought they were a stupid animal and it was beneath him to consume them.

Here’s the song, to go with the coffee tomorrow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb6Jc4juSF8

Mandem’s basically in American English as well, we just say it a little different. It’s a shortening of man and them, as in your boys. As Vince Staples says “know a change gone come like Obama 'n them say, but they’re shooting every day round my mama 'n them way”.

Yeah, this is the correct take. Objects or inanimate things have arbitrary gender, but sexed animals can obviously be feminine or masculine.

Edit: Oooooh, its name is Emily. Misunderstood what the confusion was about. ‘Une chatte’ then.

As one 80s band might put it.

I feel like the contradictions are the point. The most desirable trait of people like Tate or Trump is their impunity. They keep getting away with heinous shit, it’s the one thing that makes them demonstrably powerful, despite being disgusting, unimpressive scumbags.

Because placenta means cake in Latin, what we today call placenta being referred to in Latin as ‘placenta uteri’, ‘womb cake’. Yum.

In case you’d like to bake some authentic placenta: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giPXpKy2lQ0

We have tohu-bohu in french, same meaning

Out of curiosity, what’s the advantage of the french cleats? Do they dampen the noise somehow?

That’s actually not true, ‘ground apple’ is a common name for different sorts of tubers in a number of different languages, going back to the latin ‘malum terrae’.

Why thank you.
