Shit, I need to get a refund for my Saint Anthony's cross.

ESL here, what would have been the more natural way?

Gen X ignored again, with which we are okay though.

This must be one of those classics that are classic t9 every generation.

There's a page somewhere that, if you allow it to, opens hundreds of tabs in the background pointing to a bunch of lifestyle and commercial sites so your shadow profile ends up looking nothing like you. I will try to find it again.

And here it is: https://trackthis.link

Howard Mitla is having a panic attack.

Oh, I was all confused interpreting chasers as gay guys into stocky hairy guys.

Clearly he wasn't afraid of the dog.

That isn't the problem about the dog being off leash, the problem is it being able to go after the wildlife.

Maybe he should have been colder headed maybe not, we could critisize his being in the right but being an asshole about it, but we cannot equate that to her being in the wrong and doubling down by consciously making use of her white privilege to make a false accusation that could have ended very badly for him. This is not a both sides situation.

What so many people probably want is homeless having somewhere safe to go and resources to go out of homelessness. They get hostile architechture instead.

Counterpoint: dictators that died in their beds because of course they couldn't be prosecuted under their own regime and have them undergo fair trial. Bonus points if their victims are still alive so they can get some closure. Spain's Franco comes to mind.

Isn't the IQ adjusted to always have an average of 100?

You have (normally) 4 fingers with 3 phalanxes each, plus a fifth one (the thumb) to point at each one of those phalanxes.

I just learned that the British colony of Queensland, Australia, adopted the Maltese cross as the state badge and on the flag in 1876 for reasons unknown

This started in the early 2000's already and I remember discussing back then that the customers also treated a 5/10 as "okay" when scoring a place, but would never consider going to an "okay" place when looking for one so the businesses started to beg for higher scores and the threshold fot "okay" kept moving up.

But frankly no idea.

We also use the article for personal names, might as well be a cat or dog.

I don't want to answer a specific user about the name connotations but, isn't the load of a word dependant of the intention? My friends and I call each other removed. And conversely one can use "woman" as a very badly loaded vocative.

Probably every single European bridge called "Devil's Bridge" has a story about how he was tricked into making it in one single night and then denied his prize because

• they made a rooster sing before dawn because the contract specified that as the deadline
• they made an animal cross the bridge first because the first soul was to be taken per contract
• they bully him into giving it up with some divine intercession.

There is some correlation I guess, but I generaly agree. Not all homophobes are secretly gay but those who are, guess what, wouldn't be if it weren't for the systemic homophobia.

It rubs me the wrong way because it appears in the comments everytime a homophobic crime happens. Yeah, he must be secretly gay. Might be, might be not, but meanwhile we have already closed the case as an internal problem. Just queers killing/abusing/assaulting each other.

It's so fun and such an easy way to give back to osm.
