I think the one photo is showing a stencil taped down and coned off prior to applying the white paint.

OP, how long since you bought toothpaste before this one bum tube? Has it been so long that you have to contemplate if we’ve entered a new era of toothpaste tube quality?

Some toothpastes have calcium in them as an abrasive, and the fluoride will become bound to calcium over time. In that state, it’s not able to strengthen your enamel. What I’m saying is that toothpaste may have a shelf-life, so you should be buying it bit more often.

I had to look at it a few times.

It literally pays for itself. Do they not have traffic cops where you live?

Instead of enforcing traffic laws, municipalities now want to turn the roads into obstacle courses so people can’t even drive at the designed speed.

I’m keeping spelling corrections for the whole thread to a single comment to resuce clutter.

You only bang married couples or what?

I was thinking about making a “People like this” post about sloppy redaction and using the same screenshot.

Not allowing investment properties is different than not allowing eyesores. I don’t think you want to keep prices down by letting the place go to shit.

So, in your country, the government acts like an HOA.

Yeah, they would say NIYBY to your garbage pile. And that could make their homes more desirable to buy and live in (“keep housing prices up”). Definitely don’t want that.

Good thing you don’t live under an HOA. They are authoritarian pricks who go around telling people they can’t pile up trash in their yards where it is visible to others.

I couldn’t imagine bringing a gaming device to a family Thanksgiving celebration and insisting on being able to use it instead of socializing with the people physically there.

You know things are good in New Zealand when it’s a story that people were mean to a public figure online.

It’s not about the grammar. It’s the underlying mindset that might lead to specific word choices. If someone exclusively refers to women as bitches, that may be because they don’t hold much respect for women.

More subtly, if someone always refers to women as girls but rarely to men as boys, it could be telling us that they think of women as immature and less like fully formed adults.

For the word females, it’s more subtle again. It would be normal to refer to animals as male and female. For people we have the gender-specific terms man and woman. If you refer to women as females but not men as males, you may be revealing an underlying dehumanizing attitude. This is corroborated by what seems to be a common trope of incels calling women females.

Thanks. I’m not saying the poster is an incel. I’m just saying the objection to misuse of “female” has been primed by incels (and Ferengi). Without incels, there wouldn’t be such a knee jerk revulsion to it.

I have no idea what you’re trying to communicate, but I do understand the logical expression you used.

Ok. I somehow missed that. I scanned for other uses of “female” a few times but was blinded to the one right next to coworker.

Incel behavior includes using “female” as a noun when talking about women. Using “female” as an adjective is perfectly normal and common. It is fine to write “female coworker” instead of “coworker who is a woman.”

Some people are hypersensitive to wrongspeak.
