His less known older brother is Moe McBurney, the serial arsonist

That would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. I’m pretty sure even Soviet Union wasn’t communist, despite their attempts to pretend otherwise

This happens when people don’t have to learn a second language ever (and actually use it meaningfully) so they stay at the preconceived notion of there only really being one language and everyone else is just playing a silly game

I like calling them “noun classes”

Furniture for a player house in an MMO be like

There’s a city in Ukraine named, literally, “The Curved Horn” (Кривий Ріг)

It’s a bumpy ride, for sure

Doors don’t require much brain power to operate, though

Evolution, last time I checked, selects for stuff that a species regularly does on a very long timescale. We have not had telephones invented for long enough for them to be relevant to the way our brain evolved

For me personally, if it’s a call I expect, it drops the anxiety levels by considerable amount. Even better, if I can prepare a plan/scenario for the call, and take notes during it.

Of course, if it’s someone from my close family or friends, that also helps. But unexpected calls from unknown numbers (or known, but from like work or distant acquaintances) freak me out.
