Thanks Trump and Putin. Just what future generations of children need, more fucking landmines. /s

They do, also it’s a wider talent pool and more chance of recruiting the best and brightest.

If you use the wrong past tense all the time, that will definitely make you sound like a hillbilly.

Thanks!

Compelling argument.

Me too. It’s the one word that triggers something in my brain.

Oxford spelling, Oxford comma: what’s not to like?

Anything with a United Nations style spellcheck will sort it for you.

Depends on the tense.

I spell it wrong.

I have spelled it wrong.

I spelled it wrong.

I had spelt it wrong.

“I had spelled it wrong” sounds like a hillbilly.

Do you by any chance know where I could read a good introduction to Canadian English?

It’s probably an insurance fire.

This crying is all theater. There will be an angle to it for Musk and the other oligarchs.

don’t be on the losing team.

Really was not expecting to see an openly fascist US nationalist on Lemmy of all places, but I guess it was only a matter of time.

well, you can end up in a pile with the rest of my enemies.

If I wanted to be threatened by some bootlicker child from the other side of the world, I would be on the chans or playing Rust.

Centre left.

They are facing some push back within their own party, but ableism is probably the most socially accepted form of bigotry amongst the left in the UK.

It tracks. They captured a German tourist with a valid passport and held her for over a month instead of sending her back. The cruelty is the point.

It’s the same thing, only the leopards have turned around and started eating a different set of faces.

the terrorist kill list was a little shady, but it was effective

This is “effective” as well. For Musk/Trump.

Doesn’t make it okay.

It’s called torture.

Obviously it would be hyperbole to say you ARE going to be detained by ICE and out in solitary confinement. I’m not saying that. I’m just pointing out that factually, there is a non zero chance of it.

Assessing what you would pay to avoid a worst case scenario can be a helpful aid when making financial decisions.

Are cancellation fees not simply taken out of your ticket refund? Because that seems a bit peculiar of the airline.

I completely agree with you on that.
