  • Tell her Santa has a tight budget this year.

  • speak for yourself

  • What now?

  • That's the good shit.

  • In Finnish, "sinä" is singular "you" and "te" is plural "you". (sinä also has tons of variations in spoken language, including but not limited to: sä, sää, sie) Te is traditionally used as formal address both for authority and peers, but pretty rare nowadays. Nobody really uses it or any other formal address terms anymore, outside of certain very formal contexts, except reporters in interviews for some reason.

  • No, because who gets addressed as you and who gets addressed as thou, was dependent not on the social standing of the one being addressed, but the social standing of the speaker compared to the one they're speaking to. To put it more simply, in a given situation, the "dominant" party is addressed as you by the "subservient" party, while the subservient party is addressed as thou by the dominant party.

    So, for example, in conversation A peasant and their lord are talking. The peasant would address their lord as you, and the lord would address their subject, the peasant, as thou. But in conversation B when the lord is talking with their own liege, let's say, the king, the lord addresses the king as you and the king would address his vassal, the lord, as thou.

    In conversation A, the lord is the dominant party, and thus is to be addressed as you by the subservient party. In conversation B however, the lord is the subservient party, and thus is to be addressed as thou by the dominant party.

    So, getting back to the commandments, since in an interaction between God and a human the human always is the subservient party while God is always the dominant party, God would address the human as thou.

  • I'm more of a slime mold myself.

  • Just try telling people that they are animals as well.

  • A lot of people appear to think that animal=mammal or animal=vertebrate. I remember when in history class we had to discuss differences between humans and other animals. The girl I had as my partner told me fish and dolphins weren't animals.

  • Wouldn't that make corals and sponges not animal, despite biologically being animals?

  • And also he couldn't have called anyone, the phone line was out.
