Yeah, man, I get it. Language is complex. I’m not advocating for the reinvention of English, it was just a conversational observation about a silly quirk.

Do you think it’s a matter of choosing a complexity to care about?

I think in most cases where this administration seems to have a good idea it’s important to remember that it’s likely designed to keep them in power.

A national database that the trump admin controls will 100% be exploited for their own gain, just like every other aspect of government is being exploited for their gain now.

Kinda dumb that apostrophe s means possessive in some circumstances and then a contraction in others.

I wonder how different it’ll be in 500 years.

Extracted by slave labor so it’s blood whale oil.

Isn’t the BC/AD crossover supposed to be for Jesus’s birth?

I just think it’s funny to say Harambe was born 17 years Before Harambe.

It was a freak gasoline fight accident

Yep, the Citizens United decision let everyone know that some people just have more free speech than others. This is America.

Goddamn, you really hate the military, huh?

I didn’t know he was her brother, but man do I not care

Clearly not, right?

Reach as far as I can, use trickle-down soapenomics to take care of the rest.

I’ve thought about it and I really should have just let that guy in. I don’t remember all of the details, I just remember feeling righteously indignant afterward, so that’s how I tell the story. It was probably just a coincidence that we ended up at the same speed right next to each other and it would have been super easy to just move over, barely an inconvenience.

In the US the person in the acceleration lane/on-ramp is responsible for merging with the flow of traffic on the highway, presumably because the person already on the highway has less opportunity to yield safely.

One time, in the middle of the night on an empty highway, as a car was getting on they accelerated right up next to me and then did the same speed as me until the acceleration lane ended and then honked at me for being in their way.

I don’t think I was in the wrong there even if it would have been easy to change lanes for the other car. They could have just as easily merged ahead of or behind me.

I like the word “pairents”

Tongue-punching the fart box

It’s not just the information for me, he’s also passionate about the stuff that he explores and that comes across in his videos.

So what should we call the thing that we don’t want in our social media feeds that controls what we see?

People don’t like when you don’t answer their question because it doesn’t give them an answer to their question. Just answer the question first and then hop on your high horse to tell them why it’s not going to work.

Yeah, I can see that now.
