Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.
Given the level of expertise in the trump regime, this can only possibly end with mexico reclaiming texas. I hope they rename it Alamonia. To remember.
Zero Dawn was great, I'm definitely happy to see more games with the same vibe.
I am the friendly staff, and I often think how much I could enjoy life on the other side.
That said, the food is vile. That's really the deal breaker for me. The first meal I made, the gravy made me wretch more than the toilet shared by 3 incontent schizophrenic men.
Never mind about the yahoo, who leaved notifications on?
US military recruitment is so bad they spent ~$10M advertising with the Rock's football league, only to lose recruits AND viewers for the football league.
The national guard spent ~100M on nascar recruiting, which generated 25K recruits. Only 20 of those were qualified (99.92% unqualified). Of those 20, all declined to join.
Variable.
In general my working memory is shocking, and my long term memory is very good. I presume it's an ADHD neuroplasticity thing - my brain probably had to over rely on long term memory due to major short term memory deficiencies.
But it depends on topic as well. One of my coworkers pointed out that I had 4 rough guesses when asked how long my wife and I have been together but answered immediately and at length when asked about say, the Indo-European language family or bronze age societies.
In my head I made many cutting remarks. But the reality of this level of cognitive decline is like 90% miserably depressing and only like 10% infuriating. Plus he wouldn't be capable of understanding the criticism anyway.
A patient I dealt with had schizophrenia and dementia, "but I'm a man, not a little girl with panties" was his counterargument to everything.
You can only have one cigarette at a time because otherwise you lose them all and run out. "But I'm a man."
You know the doctor says your food needs to be cut up. "Do I look like a little girl to you?"
That's the communal cheese bowl, this is your plate. You can't eat from the communal cheese bowl with a fork. "Do you see me wearing panties?"
Whenever I hear people making these kind of gender essentialist arguments, they just sound pitiably out of touch with reality to me.
Shouldn't the content warning be for Prescriptivism?
Prescriptivism is prescribing how language should or should not be used, and is generally avoided by all linguists who aren't 19thC european aristocrats intent on using language as a class marker.
Descriptivism is just describing how language is used by its speakers, without passing judgement.
3, crimes of the hot, is the one where all the robots fart to move the planet away from the sun and stop global warming, right?
Hell is other robots
A head in the polls
Problem with poplers
War is the H word
One of the serious ones, either Devil's Hands, The sting, or the one that doesn't get named.
If you know anyone who works in russia focused intelligence who's still alive, best say your goodbyes now.
I always presumed Yoda's native language was an Object Subject Verb (OSV) language, or used OSV for emphasis. It's common for 2nd language speakers to occasionally slip into native language grammar - such as Chinese speakers omitting the/a.
Yoda can correctly use SVO in English (Galactic Common iirc?), just not all the time. Again suggesting a proficient non-native speaker. For example: ”Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
Yaddle doesn't speak like Yoda, indicating either better fluency or an SVO native language - not all the species need speak the same native language.
There are no good or bad people, that's not how being a biological organism works.
Everyone has a spectrum of different risk/reward tolerances and the perceived risks and rewards of an action determine individual behavior.
Ratcheting up the risks by imposing punishments lowers the amount of individuals who determine the action to be beneficial to them. Other factors can have more influence though - raising shoplifting penalties does little to influence the behavior of a starving population, for example.
Didn't read the article huh?
A ballot with only a presidential vote and nothing else
Their obvious incompetence is why putin choose them to lead our country.
His one flaw is he forgot to be white.
Nowadays we'd write it as X.I.U. because wade-giles is just a mess.
Privileged people do get an exception - they can afford to fly to another state for an abortion.
People like this think they're part of the in group because they're white or christian, but the only war is class war. To our rulers we're all the enemy.
Anyone else finding that sorting by 'hot' hasn't updated all day?
I've been seeing the exact same posts, in the same order, with almost no change in up/downvotes. It's been like this for at least 6 hours.
Did everyone agree to take an internet break and not tell me or is something not working correctly?
Why do I often get errors when upvoting or boosting?
Frequently but not always I'll get an error page when I try to upvote or boost. Sometimes repeatedly, sometimes just once then it works fine, sometimes it stops when I reload the page.
Is it something to do with federating upvotes? I got the same thing on kbin but when it happened there i'd often need to re-login to my account.
You can easily learn Chinuk Wawa, the common language of the Pacific Northwest! Search Chinuk Wawa on Apple/Play stores.
Chinuk Wawa, also called Chinook Trade Jargon, is an incredibly simple language with like ~1000 words and basically no grammar. It's a pidgin of several native languages with some english and french influence.
The language was spoken by settler and native alike, until the railroad arrived and English overwhelmed it.
The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde built a very nice app to help learn this very important part of our region's heritage.

New Poll Shows Trump’s Desperate Play for Black Voters Is Failing
Donald Trump held multiple events to court Black voters, and not one of them paid off.
A survey of 600 likely general election voters in Michigan, released late Thursday by WDIV Local 4/Detroit News, found that zero African American respondents said that they supported Trump, while 82.1 percent said they supported Vice President Kamala Harris.
