On/off switch

Honestly, even if they’re not leaving permanently, who knows how much longer the Smithsonian will last if things keep going the way they are.

How can someone be in the same socioeconomic class with someone who makes $100k more than them per year? Both of those people cannot be middle class whatever that means anymore

It’s pretty clear based on this response that you don’t understand the concept, Matt.

You sure do assume a lot, huh? I’m not going to explain it better than the top comment of the thread already did. You should read it. You should also take some time to think about how you come across, Mathew.

Wow.

Anyone so convinced of this has never been raped.

I have in fact encountered a bear in the wild, a mama bear with her cub. They weren’t interested in me, just crossing my path trying to get to the river. I stopped walking and started talking so they’d know I was there. They went on their way, I waited a little bit to make sure they weren’t coming back, and then I went on mine.

I’ve also been raped by a man I thought was my friend.

A viewpoint from someone who would choose the bear:: I don’t think all men are by default violent sexual predators. It’s much more about the fear that we won’t be believed.

Nobody questions whether you wanted to be attacked by a bear. Nobody makes the case that the bear just made a mistake and we don’t want to ruin his future. Nobody suggests that you lead the bear on then changed your mind. It behooves us to be wary of being vulnerable with men until we have more information about the specific man we’re engaging with because of things go sideways there’s a good chance we’ll be blamed.

Your assumption is correct, thank you, I edited :)

I had no idea that there was ever actually a moment for Esperanto that got blocked! I figured it had just been dismissed out of hand since its inception.

Honestly I think so menu little would be on board with something like this since so many people speak multiple languages. Unfortunately, I can’t imagine a world where even 50% of Americans would even try to learn a second language. I think many would outright refuse as a matter of anti intellectual and xenophobic ideology.

It’s not really that diverse though. Overwhelmingly, the language of diplomacy and business currently is English.

William Shatner made that movie though

Honestly I was trying to learn Esperanto for a while, it’s very easy since it was constructed to not contain irregular conjugations or pronunciations. But getting everyone to learn Esperanto would never happen.

If the global language ever changes from English, I assume it will be to Chinese.

Yes! It’s easy to untie unlike a double knot. Unties fast but only if you do it intentionally.

This is the GOAT shoelace knot. Especially for round laces that like to slip more than flat ones.

Yeah honestly, set up that minimum payment autopay and go buck wild. If you’re broke enough to not afford groceries I’m assuming you don’t have much of if any assets to will.

Make sure your family members know that if any credit card companies call them saying they are responsible for the payments that weren’t covered by the estate, they are lying. If you never acknowledge responsibility for the debt and never make any payment (i.e. acknowledging responsibility for the debt) there ain’t shit they can do. “The cardholder is deceased, you may file a claim against the estate. Do not call this number again.”

The tipoffs to being Spain Spanish if they teach extra conjugations for vosotros and if they speak evening with a lisp because at some point it was decided to emulate a king with a speech impediment.

I think it’s silly to say that Spain Spanish is canonical, though. Like, says who? Spanish people? Spanish in Spain is a dialect just like any other Spanish-speaking country. Imo it makes sense to teach the dialect that learners are most likely to encounter based on their geographic location, with context about the other dialects.
