I just wish more people would talk about her music instead of her gender. I know she’s bitter or dissatisfied about Switched on Bach, but I still listen to it regularly. There aren’t many pieces of instrumental music that can actually make me laugh, but it does. Bach works on synth so well. Largely due to Carlos’ efforts.

Thanks?

Definitely. I’m currently living the dream. Four day work week with about twenty hours a week actual work. My wife and I own and run the place, so no overseers. I have enough money and free time to indulge hobbies, spend a lot of time with my daughter, and hit the gym five times a week. I’m probably the happiest, middle-aged person I know.

Prime 2 is great. Dread is really good, too. Really, it’s only Other: M that bears avoidance.

Haha! It’s textbook ham-fisted. I hope they never let that director make another.

Even the name of the game (Other: M, a half-assed anagram of “Mother”) is super lame

And then Nintendo turned her into a mewling idiot in Other: M.

Oh, you mean the “fewer than” symbol? (Some people do call it that.)

I can’t tell if you made this example randomly, or were actually present for the last discussion of this exact same thing. Either way, it’s pretty funny. How many gallons in your average cop? They look pretty voluminous in general.

OK, so I’m a prescriptivist and don’t agree. As mentioned in the paragraph before the one you quoted. Should we just let any old thing that slips into common usage to become the norm? Why not spell it “definately”? It’s very common and everyone understands it.

I’m all for evolving language, but the fewer words we use, the less elegant it becomes. IMO of course.

Haha! Fair enough.

Ahh, I went on a rant about this, and someone already did it for me much more concisely.

I would say it’s “fewer” not “less”, but every time I do, I get a lecture and downvoted.

Even though this time it’s quite clearly a case where “fewer” is the proper choice as “cop” is most definitely a countable noun (yes, I know there are exceptions, this is generally not one.)

Bring on the downvotes.

I agree with the sentiment.

Hmm. Korean kids have recently started saying “skibidi”. Meaning it’s probably old hat by now. Old hat… that’s how old I am…

Huh. I just searched Google, and clicked on the clip. While I was watching, I copied the URL and pasted it here not really bothering to look at it. I edited it to be a YouTube link instead.

This is just a shoddy ripoff of Keanu Reeves’ speech in Parenthood.

Weaponized humor!

This is fantastic except I’ve got a fractured rib and the mild chuckle fucking hurt.

I’m honestly not sure what season of the show I’ve seen. I’ve only seen bits and pieces of an episode or two. Maybe it was a positive thing early on, and I think it could be a better show if it were a little more earnest, but the little exposure I had to it was decidedly negative.

Nerd does not imply outcast.

Hmm. I guess it does not. But the show (at least occasionally,I haven’t seen much of it) implies the nerdy folks are ostracized from the more “normal” ones when they make some quip that no one but them (and the audience obviously) understand. Though, I suppose that could also be because Sheldon is an immense prick as well as a nerd. Something else that does not endear me to the show.
