Irremarkable

Yknow here’s the thing.

I distinctly remember telling myself “don’t type Dutch” because I always say one when I mean the other.

God I love how Dutch is essentially just how I talk after I’ve had a pint too many. If I can ever get a hand on German, Dutch is the next language on my list.

Hell, I can spend like $3 more and get an 8oz sirloin and 2 sides (at least twice the food) from Texas Roadhouse instead of a bigmac meal at McDonald’s. The only time I’d even consider going there at this point is when they’re the only place open, and frankly I’d rather go to White Castle or Jack in the Box at that point.

It’s literally in the first sentence

Maine Republican lawmaker Lucas Lanigan won re-election to the state House by a single vote after a recount

the English proficiency of young people in the country is stagnant compared to other countries and regions.

Seems like my gut was right, that it’s less because they’re regressing, and more because other countries have been increasing theirs.

Sometimes I truly do love the absurdity of my country

Yeah I’d imagine Steam is going to be the smallest share of sales for this game by a fairly large margin.

Frankly it is. It’s a shame you’ve deluded yourself into believing otherwise.

Delusion is not the answer to doom and pessimism. You prepare for the worst, you hope for the best, and you keep doing the best you can with the things you have. But you sure as fuck do not delude yourself.

There’s a difference between optimism and delusion

Optimism is good

Delusion is not

The optimistic view is that’s the worst that happens.

Your mistake is assuming the actual definition of “a fair way” and what Trump means by it are not so far apart from each other it’s not even funny.

For him the “fair way” for Ukraine is for them to submit and lick Putin’s boot, and have their eastern regions subjected to the full scale cultural genocide already in effect.

For him the “fair way” for Palestine is naked ethnic cleansing and genocide.

So yeah, it would in fact not be awesome for those things to happen.

E: grammar

Yeah I’m sure I’d probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.

I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who’s doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.

Not really. It’s a godsend for long bus/train/plane/whatever rides to be able to have dozens of old quality AAA games in your pocket. A controller very easily fits in a backpack, and there’s plenty that’ll fit in a pocket.

I guess I had a much different experience with Chegg than most.

For a handful of my classes, it was the only way to consistently get similar problems with worked out solutions. I’m not going to pretend I never was lazy and used it to cheat, but most of my usage was of problems I wasn’t assigned so I could see how they were done.

That said, I can’t speak as to how they pay the people that actually do the work, that may be a whole can of worms that I really probably should’ve looked into when I was using it.

I like how one of their points of evidence is a only kinda sort of expensive camper trailer. Yeah, I’m perfectly fine with the people maintaining a public resource like that being able to go on camping trips lmao.

From what I understand, it primarily stems from that first stipulation, specifically from points 1 and 4 of the Helsinki Accords

(1) Sovereign equality, respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty (4) Territorial integrity of states

That said, it was very clearly done in a way that didn’t actually guarantee that protection, and assuming that the Ukrainians thought otherwise is frankly an insult to their intelligence.

Turns out being a racist shithead is in no way determined by your race or ethnicity.

I should have clarified. I mean silly (fun) not silly (ridiculous)

The monarchies can stay on one condition. They all wear silly hats like the Swedish king

Seriously, I don’t think I’ve seen this kind of blatant “PAY ATTENTION TO ME I’M QUIRKY” behavior since AIM.

According to this guy, everything that isn’t Lebanon, Kansas is hurricane territory
