He'd probably adore this admirable abundance of alliterations.

That won't suffice. Wash your faces and wash your sheets, people.

There's allot in English, too. Which means something like to assign a quantity or share to someone or something.

Maybe she's singing along to Total Eclipse of the Heart.

Yes they can. It's their job. But sharing that sentiment with them can be a good first step. And they should certainly be able to handle that.

Medication helps me a) to remember stuff for the minute or so that it takes sometimes to get around to it and b) to deal with interruptions better in that I can return to the previous task more easily.

I'm still very susceptible to sensory overload. But I find that clearly communicating how I'm doing with the people around me and excusing myself when I'm overloaded (or tired or whatever) works quite well for me.

Case in point, I was just playing a multiplayer online game with people and realized that I'm just too tired to properly process what's going on anymore. So I told everyone I'm too tired to keep going, wished them a good night and told them I'd be happy to play with them again tomorrow. Younger me would have pushed on, resulting in drama and loss of self-control.

All that said, you might be suffering from something else entirely, so getting diagnosed is still the best course of action, IMHO.

Alot is not a word.

Also, the vanishing use of countable quantities: they are all amounts nowadays.

If it were music it would be forta, as in the Italian pronunciation of pianoforte. Which would be correct, according to M-W.

In other news, the possessive apostrophe is now allowed as part of a name (Rita's Restaurant) in German...

I'm writing with regards to the issue of...

That's very friendly and I'll be sure to forward your regards...🙄

That's some flowery prose right there.

If there are fourteen of them, do they deserve to be called "standards" at all?

I was wondering that myself. Perhaps they went in the urinal?

You're free to use your enormous wealth to secure a comfortable life for yourself and your ilk, just like they are.

That's the logic. Law of the jungle. The strongest survive. And that's why freedom absolutists are either moronic or evil.

So now he can end his three-day operation and peace will return to Ukraine shortly. Right? Right?

(sorry, not the first)

Minor correction: it's fuck all living things on this planet.

Planet Earth is going to be fine. And who knows, maybe some living things as well. Wouldn't be the first time, cf. the Chicxulub Impact.

But yeah, things are looking grim for you and me.

I knew this issue was going to come up looking at the recipe! This really is a national dish. 😁

Eh, both look fine to me. I like the home baked charm of the browning, cracks and all. Bet it tastes great.

Evidently not the Temu ordering kind, otherwise pollution would actually increase.
