I’d argue if you are speaking on the sharpness of an item it would be implied that they are supposed to be sharp. “Sharpest tool in the shed” discounts the hammer you have in there as useless when it just might not be the right tool for the job but it implies the need for a sharp tool currently.

15·1 month agoHe already lost the case 3 years ago. He didn’t want to pay so he wanted to appeal and the courts needed the settlement money set aside for whatever reason. They didnt overturn the ruling so the money was awarded. He didn’t release the money to her the courts did and you can bet he’s still out there defaming her and setting himself up for more lawsuits from her for that.

42·1 month agoNature makes nature beautiful. You realize your relationship with it and the universe and all that shit. A painting or a song connects you with someone else and their connection to the world. I just don’t see the connection to be had with a stolen collaboration of impersonal generated emotion made by a computer.

Is there a “this machine kills Jesus” cross?
There is a sign like this at the end of my street. It’s morning and evening rush times. The turn in question is an offset intersection through a busy road. If you are to take a left off my street you can easily be hit by someone taking a right from the street across into the middle of the road to then take a left from the perpendicular road onto my street. The city put some surveyors out there for a bit and with the accident data and all that determined my street can’t make our left at certain times but the street across can snake their way across town just fine. The 2 streets on either side of mine are just fine to left turn from, they don’t have the offset intersection. Nobody gets pulled over for the turn either but I’m sure if you caused an accident you would get an extra citation.

I was only commenting on them not understanding how it’s implied that all the pencils in the box should be sharp. The fact that the overall comeback is not fully thought through never came up. I never mentioned the condition of a new vs used tool. My point was that the quote is pointed to imply he should be sharp and not dull in this situation so everything else he’s compared to would presumably be sharp. I don’t know where you thought I had missed or implied otherwise, all around I don’t know what you’re on about.
