  • What other way is there to interpret that? Please, enlighten me.

  • I said:

    I assumed you weren't calling Nazis courageous. Was I wrong?

    You replied:

    Of course you were wrong

    Dunno how else to interpret that.

  • So you are saying these Nazis are courageous. In that case you're just a piece of shit. My mistake.

  • I assumed you weren't calling Nazis courageous. Was I wrong?

  • You're thinking of "meddlesome", as in meddle (interfere). "Mettlesome" means being characterized by mettle (courage).

  • I went Canon for color laser, no complaints so far.

  • This is true, but Fahrenheit is directly based on climate norms (though thanks to global warming there's an argument to be made for recalibration). For F, 0 is as cold as it typically gets most places, 100 is as hot as it typically gets most places. By that metric it's a useful measure for climate temperatures. For that purpose, measured temperature norms make more sense than the freezing and boiling points of water.

  • It's funny you mention the math because i hear english is bizarrely efficient as a language

    Maybe, but I think it's mostly just that it's my native language and I was a voracious reader in my childhood so I got really good at it. I do appreciate the Germanic composite nature, but I didn't, like, actively choose English.

    Given how long it takes you might want to get started tomorrow!

    Eh, like I said, that's a future me problem. I think the "fun" way is going to be learning along with my kids. Start with the basics, consume simple media, immersion, all that. I'm not too worried about it, if I need to supplement with other methods I'll supplement. But I think the time it takes the kids to become fluent will be long and gradual enough to work for me.

  • English, and quite well.

    I've tried Spanish, German, Japanese, Esperanto, and a smattering of others. I just don't have the mental temperament for language learning, I'm a math guy. I'm already very proficient in arguably the most useful one, and I just can't justify the time and effort that I could be using to learn other more broadly useful topics.

    I promised my wife I'd learn her native language alongside our future children, but that's a future me problem.

  • Same as you. I agree on Fahrenheit on the same principle, but it's not that big of a deal and °C isn't that hard to adjust to.

  • Heads of state actually just do that, and in the process eject projectiles which look just like bullets into the muzzles of nearby firearms. It truly is crazy how nature do that.

  • Cure Wounds has a verbal component, but since the monkeys can't speak they substitute an oral component

  • Yeah but he's probably going to run for another term and I'm not confident he'll be prevented from doing so. I don't wanna be stuck with his VP, but I'd love to see the right scramble to try and replace him in under a month

  • Have you seen a superhighway? It's still accurate.

  • Ambiguous "they"s make it look like you want those monkeys to fellate the paladin

  • As long as he's shaking his speare

  • I honestly hope he lives until October 2028.

  • I am pretty hard now that you're asking the tuff questions, if that counts.
