I see your point but I’d take getting shot any day over beaten to death with a rock.

It’s become really common especially since we’re seeing American football players get dementia-like symptoms in their 50s. TBI is an umbrella term covering everything from getting your skull caved in all the way down to the micro concussions that football players get regularly. I recently listened to part of an NPR report about concussions in football but I’ve been seeing TBI used by mainstream outlets for at least a few years now.
Back then I was a mess socially. I’m still an introvert but I code switch like a pro. I only break out the big vocab with close friends who know I’m not trying to look smart.
Yesterday was also our anniversary, the 10th. Congrats! I got my wife a big beautiful Dali print and she made me the most banging scallops ever with lemon risotto.
It’s so frustrating when you get shafted for being financially responsible. I had a severe malignant melanoma removed and the Dr’s association refused to accept less than $200 per month payment after they saw I had an emergency fund in the bank.
At the time I was making $36k per year and my wife was in school, so negative income. $200 per month would have ruined our lives. So I told them they’d never see a penny and took the huge credit hit.
I’ve noticed that many fluent English speakers who had a different native language come across as better speakers than English natives.
Had a hard time changing the context to having kids versus you being an eloquent pimp.
I had a girlfriend try to make me speak differently because I embarrassed her by using big words in front of others. The company you keep eh?
It’s because you grew up in a different culture that you feel that way. Nothing wrong with it.
Yeah ml is much more restrictive.
My work is not like that. Not all jobs do sick days. If I miss a day I delay a project and have to kill myself getting it back on track.
It needs to be retired honestly. Like you said, more often than not it’s used by smug racists. There are other, better words that mean the same thing like avaricious, miserly, parsimonious, or to keep it simple - cheap.
I was right there with you until you defended that silly word.
The singular is octothorpe.
Eh the context determines the need for proper grammar. Throwaway comments on Lemmy- fuck the grammar
Unlike many of these I’d heard it before but didn’t know its true meaning. It fits.
“… and if that don’t work, take it sleazy.”
That MBFC garbage even rated AP as left leaning last time I saw it. It’s so incredibly biased.
Both sides are the same parrots take note - When a Republican gets caught fucking around, they circle the wagons, defend defend defend. Interfere with investigations.
When a Democrat gets caught fucking around their staff quit and the law takes its course.
