Like where? I’m curious to look at the style guides from there.

It’s a stretch to assume they’ve thought it through to this degree.

The things you’re saying aren’t necessarily untrue, but through a lot of the 20th century, immigrants and their children accounted for more than half of America’s population growth. A lot of us aren’t descended from the batshit OGs but from people who made perilous journeys in search of a better life, so goes the lore (and of course the people who were kidnapped and brought here in bondage). Your point stands, but there’s a whole lot of different crazy here besides just settler crazy.

Backtracking five years later isn’t strictly the same thing as lying. Five years is enough time to learn new information, and she’s being upfront about the change. I’d be more concerned if she were saying right up until the election that she’s going to ban fracking, then suddenly refused to do so as president.

Who’s = who+is.

Only whose is possessive, always.

I don’t mind this when it’s families that are out trick-or-treating with their own kids. If you’re home and you do it, that’s weird

Big in PA also

what is happening what is this

Legally integrated, but I wouldn’t say fully. Source: living in the South.

Yeah, he didn’t do that either. I read that they asked him to and he said that his hands were nice and clean already.

As someone outside the U.S., what is your default persona for anonymous/pseudonymous users until you know more about them? Just curious. Like, if you don’t have any information about them, do you read the words in the voice of a person just like you?

Not awful. I’ve had only positive experiences. No buyer protections, but it’s hard to get scammed buying something in person from someone local, unless you get it home before realizing it’s fake/broken, or they kidnap you and lock you in their basement. There are pretty simple precautions you can take against either, not that there’s any foolproof solution…but I wouldn’t say awful.

A concept of a plan.

Thank you, I was struggling to remember where I (and the cartoonist I guess?) had originally heard this joke.

Looking at post-industrial wealth distribution, they weren’t entirely wrong.

The collection method the way it’s described prevents it from coming into contact with air (just water), but you bring up an excellent point I hadn’t considered, which is that maybe millions of years of farts are to blame for the current state of things

They said they had to stay behind for 30 minutes, but they didn’t say what they stayed behind from. Lunch, maybe, or study hall? Recess, if they’re at a rare middle school that still offers it? Art? Seems like there’s a way it could work.

What have you got to lose?

They’re destructive and difficult to deter. If squirrel hate is more common among Boomers, it’s probably because they’ve lived long enough to find this out firsthand.

Any trusted friend who’s been around to witness you meeting new people should be able to tell you.
