As someone who regularly uses both British and American English both at work and in my personal life, I sometimes mix them unintentionally.
I almost always use the same spelling for either word and use context to make sure it is always clear which mold I am talking about.
I do think there is value in distinguishing the words with different spelling, but without getting everyone to agree on which spelling would mean what, I think this won’t be very productive.
The British Museum can’t even keep its collection from being stolen (ironic), there are 2000 missing artifacts if I remember correctly. Any excuse that “the British Museum can protect the artefacts” doesn’t hold true anymore. They should return the stolen artefacts to be displayed in the county of origin. Egypt has very strong laws to preserve and protect ancient artefacts.
Assassination attempt on Trump in a rally.
I’d seriously worry about not having immunity to whatever diseases exist in that world, and the people of that new world not having immunity to whatever I might be carrying from my world.
Probably try and figure what the skills of the other survivors on the train to assemble a team with the goal of survival and information gathering.
While an aggressive attitude won’t change the mind of bigots, a polite and respectful response to someone who advocates for forcing kids to go through the wrong puberty is going to be especially difficult for people with personal trauma for it, and it’s unreasonable to expect it of them.
I think it’s a reasonable reaction to throw polite discourse out when people use “moderate” as a cover for their bigotry. This is like when “moderate” person said that segregation of black people was reasonable when people were fighting for their civil rights, and that since the moderates weren’t pro-slavery so they were the good guys. No, you’re not the good guys, you’re just not as bad as the super evil guys. Congrats.
Now I won’t tell you to “fuck off and die”, but I will tell you to fuck off. If you were someone I personally knew, I would have put in the effort to be polite and try to educate you or whatever, but since we don’t know each other it’s unlikely to land.
I say it as someone who used to think like you.
That was a nod to Great Moments in Unintended Consequences. (Example)
For me it’s branding something as “AI” as a buzzword. Almost all product marketing is full of AI hype these days.
The Year: 2092
The Problem: Timezones are annoying
The Solution: Space mirrors! A series of mirrors in space would rotate to keep the entire planet under a single time zone. A perfect global time system is born!
Sounds like a great idea! With the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong?
You can run DOOM on E.Coli bacteria, so I’m sure you can run it on anything.
Any front engine rear drive car going in reverse, lol.
There is always the Wikipedia style link to the definition whenever such word arrives. This is what browser tabs are for.
I like being able to rotate 90° one of my screen because sometimes it’s just the best way to work.
PL setups are the best.
If that ever happens, I would start bringing duct tape to flights, tape a magazine to cover the screen.
I remember having a conversation with a former friend a while ago, and he, as a guy who worked for a certain company that makes most of its revenue from delivering ads, spoke about requiring use of front facing camera and using eye tracking technology to ensure you’re actually watching the ads and not going somewhere else while the ads play. If you aren’t looking at the ad, it will play another ad afterwards.
He spoke about it as something he is looking forward to, since it would increase revenue. Pretty sure he was pitching this idea to his boss hoping to get a promotion.
I wasn’t aware of her existence or that of the vampire facials, but this is some Carmilla stuff. Next they will tell you they need virgin blood.
If these are signs of being old, I was born old.
They did win because of how the electoral college works. Both Trump and Bush lost the popular vote and won the election because the system is designed in a stupid way.
Having to keep creating fake identities to prevent people and governments from finding out that you’re immortal. That would be a massive pain in the butt, especially in a world where mass surveillance of the population is common.
