I Have Decided I Like This Video More When I Empathize With The Dude In The Video Coming Into It. Therefore,

Question: how did you get the link to agree with the claim? This is a one question quiz. Naturally, that means it is probably based on some obscure lore, so I trust you, but how?

hello homestuck kinnies that live in my computer

i finally went ahead and made a classpect quiz based on my personal conception of how things work. that means it's probably one of the more accurate classpect quizzes out there. consists of two parts. 20 questions total. go take it, share it, argue about it, whatever. have fun.

Just when you thought he’s done it all... Fucking chocolate guy fucking made a fucking “chocolate man” and I officially can’t even

Fair. I vaguely recall occasional higher up opposition to genocide, but am not sure that that lasted a full year anyways...

I feel that these statements rather neatly counter the overall argument there - I think I can prop up the more objective point, but not into something strong enough given stated positions.

So what happens when you can't extract more from either and they're both equally likely to kill you and your families? Bc that's what Arab-Americans are looking at right now. The deaths of their direct family members across the pond, and both a current and two potential future administrations that do not care about them or their lives. So what do you say to them to convince them? You promise them nothing, tell them that their lives are worth nothing, and are mad they're giving that energy back to you. Enraged that they don't entertain your entitlement.

And stop tossing the word "leftist" up when you're clearly not one.

... I don't recall when exactly this was, but shortly after we have a firmly established infinite suffering Butcher ball, I doubt he'd approve a plan to try to move it to deeper waters so it stops causing issues. This annoys Taylor, who, of course, still Really wants the docks to be rebuilt, darn it.

Taylor was really in for coils image as “crime lord who will fix city” pre the Daihna plot twist

How long do you think it would take for her to hate his guts if he never told the undersiders about the drugged up kidnapped child in his basement I giver like two months before she wants to blow his brains out anyway

... Okay, so, like - what's on with aunt cassie?

"How could you do this" with the help of the demon blade "this isn't you" well yeah it's me and the demon blade "I know you're a good person" yeah that wasn't in question "please come home" not if you're gonna be a dick to the demon blade "we need to destroy the demon blade" listen I don't come to family gatherings and say we Need To Destroy aunt cassie and she's genuinely evil, unlike the demon blade

... Which, like - I should probably of given some more context here - I can't hold the i in kit, big sing, it, hit, and both is in historic any better than I can hold a t. This is based on how it goes when I try to hold the letter as I say it - I suspect I'm making a slightly different sound when I try to isolate it, through that also doesn't hold for very long.

Been looking at things and thinking about how I say things as a result, and - if trying to hold a sound in a word causes one to not hold that sound, and also not breathe in until one stops trying, it can't be a vowel, right?

I think I know what you mean? Like, you can theoretically breathe in while producing an /i/ sound but not while producing an /r/ sound? Although that might just be a lack of practice on my part. Anyway I'm not sure what the big phonology heads might have to say about that as a definition.

But yeah as it turns out the definition of vowel is a bit less clear-cut than it might seem. Or like there is generally a consensus as to what a vowel is, but it's hard to define a clear boundary for what isn't a vowel. This has to do with there being two different definitions of vowels: one is phonetic and defines vowels as sounds produced with an open vocal tract, and the other is phonological, defining them as sounds that form the peak of a syllable. Now, it's easy to say that, for example, /iː/ is a vowel in pretty much both ways. But then you have shit like the syllabic consonants of English (the /l/ in the word "table" and the /n/ in "button") and other languages which do similar things, and the latter definition is no longer quite as useful. The semivowels /j/ and /w/ are a bit of a mess in this regard because they generally won't be syllabic but they also involve less constriction of the vocal tract than the other consonants. But more than vowels.

Checked again. Ah. I must've missed it. Happens. Feels bad.

I don't want to reblog off that one, since it makes me feel more awkward than this, but I'm not clear on how the 'John Wayne' thing relates to what you were saying? Like, at a glance it misgenders a good deal of folk, and usage of a name as a shorthand, especially a non-mythological one, feels like a bad idea, and frankly it feels like it shouldn't of been attached to that post, but having of seen your response to it, I wind up wanting clarification.

What

... Reading through the notes, which included an article I'd expect off search - I'm honestly still not sure what I'd be looking for. Are containers that look like they lost air after being sealed also an issue here? Their probably a different one, at least, but there's two signs being given for cans, and their in opposite directions.

recently learned my coworker and one of my friends dont know what botulism is, and now im wondering if theyre outliers or if this is my Weird Kid showing through so

do you know what botulism is (Knowing What Botulism Is in this case is described as knowing the concept, how to identify and avoid it in a household context, not necessarily all the scientific parts of what it is and what it can do) and where did you learn about it?

please reblog if you can im sososososo curious

Between "for fuck sake" and "for fuck's sake", it's the latter, but it is my understanding that a paragraph+ best summarised as 'for fucks' sake, why?' is better than either. Scale number of paragraphs to how annoyed you are, and how likely they are to have a decent reason.

Trying to avoid insulting them while getting the point of the swearing across anyways is better, especially if you can deploy the correct number of paragraphs, and especially if they aren't actually insulted.

coworker moment 👍
