I don’t see how that’s relevant.

All that means is the better, more deserving ones who put the work in will be successful.

Oh, how adorably naive.

I don’t think the kids hate it, just that the attention span isn’t what it used to be.

But it also works for us imo, to a degree. I at least find the pacing of 80’s or 90’s tv much calmer. And I daresay a movie from the B&W era would be slower still.

And I don’t think there’s yet a professional short-form making masterclass so that’s where the kids end up

I hadn’t either before driving a taxi. (pre-gps)

I ended up accidentally training a squirrel to be a burglar and finding squirrel droppings in your kitchen even when you left the kitchen window closed, well… it didn’t bother me as much but it was an apartment building and he burgled others as well so had to put him in timeout once (large see-through moving box, breathing one, and water food and some pine branches to hide in) for a good few hours.

Moved out rather soon after that, so idk if his lineage still knows the way.

But the crows from the same area at least taught their young that me is friend. Me bring meatball. (I didn’t move far, only a few hundred m so it wasn’t as challenging for them to follow.)

You look up a street name. That entry tells you which street it begins from. If you don’t know that, then you look up one further. And repeat until you get to such a main road you’d know it even after looking at a map.

So basically you’d look up the street and then browse back and after you’d have a sort of gps like instructions. “main road until you see X street, then turn there, then drive until you see Y road” etc.

I had several in the car I drove, for all the nearby cities/towns. Many in same covers. So it’d cover the main city and outlying towns. Never had to use a map. (Although again, I can if needed.)

Loads.

Actually a much better way was to use a street directory if you know your way around the town even a bit.

Better even, and how we actually did it was giving instructions. “200m after the large tree by the field, drive on for about 400m, there’s 2 junctions before and mines the third one.”

But I also know orienteering ofc as a Finn

No, but there is a lot of photographs about him if you want to go the others way.

That’s more of a neologism, whereas “evilness” veers more toward the archaic.

“wdy mean they’re all wearing clothes and have hair on their bodies”

Edit 14h laters; none of the aliens even have beards

Yeah, but not worse than just “bad”, whereas “evilness” sounds worse compared to just “evil.”

My point is that it might not the most colloquial of English use, but MLK Jr didn’t exactly speak vernacular either.

So just because something sounds a tad off doesn’t necessarily mean it’s wrong. And in a lot of cases it’s the opposite, because languages just keep evolving.

I thought exactly that. Opened the post, upvoted this thread.

However couldn’t not Google it, and it may be on purpose.

evilness

noun

evil·​ness

: the quality of being evil : badness

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evilness

While it does sound better with just “evil”, I wonder if they wished to exactly convey that what is being created is the quality of being evil in some people. All in all, that goes under the umbrella of evil, sure. But if we replace “evilness” with “badness”, it no longer sounds worse than the alternative, just “inequality creates bad”. Ofc you can’t compare directly like that, I’m just trying to make the point that black civil activist haven’t historically been that bad at language use, so perhaps we’re just feeling the more colloquial version but that this may be prescriptively better, idk.

Many of them falsely think that Santa Claus lives on the north pole

Hehe. Dummies. He obviously lives at Ear Fell, every Finn knows that.

Nr 4 sounds just like tobacco companies questioning if smoking causes cancer.

Yes, I think it is. But not the one where he actually does become the ECH?

The Doctor has added a daydreaming protocol and some aliens who have an AI overlord (they can’t do anything without asking it first) manage to survey the Doctors daydreams but not the inside of Voyager, so they believe the Doctors daydreams to be real.

I think Voyager’s more musical episodes (and Robert Picardo himself) have at least a little to do with SNW eventually getting the musical episode.

Fun Voyager openings, I hear you asking.

This strawman isn’t even properly put together; it’s falling apart. If English isn’t your first language, skip the following: Write better.

I really wouldn’t talk with that sort of syntax. “They” became “they’re” due to my fat thumbs, not because I meant it to. I write pretty fast on a phone and like we all (should) know, the predictive algorithm sometimes get stuck with the wrong word, and I don’t really care yoo much (see, now I have to fix “yoo” to “too”. Better to remove “yoo” as a prediction really, but who’s got time for thay).

I’ll bet my left nut that if we both tested our English skills, I’d have a larger vocabulary and better syntax. More than ten years ago I surpassed the average native speaker in vocabulary size.

Cops should use their own moral judgement to selectively enforce the law, but also, cops should not use their own moral judgement to selectively enforce the law.

No, you’re just a dummy. There are laws in place which allow cops — just like soldiers, to not do what they’re commanded to do. They’re called “illegal orders”. So for instance if I were at war (and I am a sergeant in the reserves), I would never hesitate to question a direct command… unless it broke the core principles which are not my personal morals, but strict rules which are in place. At that point, if it’s murky if it is a legal order or not (as superiors officers often do give them, to both cops and soldiers), the first step is to ask it in writing. Then you can show that you protested, but as it was unclear, you did it anyway. However if your superiors officers tell you to do something clearly illegal like torturing people and kidnapping children, you don’t need to hesitate, and even getting it in writing wouldn’t help, as any reasonably well trained person should definitely understand the immortality and thus refuse to obey.

I’m not a Harry Potter encyclopedia so maybe your perception of Harry being a loose cannon is much more arbitrary than mine,

See what did I tell you about the syntax. Gjeoddamn.

But also, vocabulary. My definition isn’t arbitrary in the least. Are you sure you know the meaning of the word?

but in the context of someone refusing to enforce a law on moral grounds, you’re making zero sense to me.

Probably because you have zero actual understanding of the topic…?

It seems like you’re assigning “willy nilly” to selective enforcement you disagree with and “refusal” to selective enforcement you agree with.

Yes, you keep repeating your asinine and completely wrong argument. Did you just forget the other times, or do you repeat it so that you’ll remember it? Either way, kinda weird, and super wrong.
