That sounds like inequality! We should create programs to help introduce them into this male dominated field. /S

Women are,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Whelp, I guess I use a lot of punctuation, lol

Eh, for me typically petnames have been used in private, like at home, and actual names are used in public. Also, with my experiences, the pet names were usually more unique than "honey" or "babe" etc. It usually was generated from an inside joke or the like. Both endearing and slightly teasing.

Names like "Brandy" "Skit skit" "smidget" or "One step"

Hmmm,an undead deity, undead tarrasque, or, the pact to summon me would be the life of the summoner and he summons me as his undead self.

I like all of these options

If you wanna spend money, glitter mail. or if its a house, set up a flood light pointed at their house and set it up on a random timer for only at night and blast them with "security" lighting.

Attract tons of wild life with the food you need to get rid of.

Sign up for grindr and start sending people their way.

Learn the noise ordinance laws and maximize that to the fullest for a short period

Stand on the property line constantly and try looking through their windows, or watch them, if they approach, quickly leave (don't enter their property)

Sign them up for stuff. Especially if you can find their email through LinkedIn etc.

Or, just move on since they will be out of your life regardless, don't spend your energy on them,they aren't worth it

Edit: Actually rather than grindr, send scalpers, leave good people out of these shenanigans

Generic voices are a necessity too. They provide contrast to good voices and are great at adding without taking away from a point or scene. I.E. generic guy says "commander we have a problem" Commander then gets to say his cool line with awesome tone. Or generic background talk that you don't want people to focus on. Like people chatting in a restaurant you want to be homogeneous so that Morgan Freeman's voice is what you focus on.

Plenty of good reasons to want basic voice actors, though most anyone can also fill that roll, so probably hard to be a professional generic voice lol

"If you don't want life you fuck you, be a dick, not an asshole" /J

I don't actually have a life motto, but I do like hearing other people's. I'll find one that jives with me eventually, till then I survive.

I am in the dating scene at the moment. I definitely agree that men and women suffer the opposite problem on those apps. I think the apps are generally not designed to be successful and take advantage of choice fatigue. I don't know if it's a double standard per-se but I do think there's a drastic difference in amount of effort applied.

Of course there's no requirement but I do think that the minimum general expectation people have is that there is going to be effort applied to find a partner (aka, communication). That doesn't always seem to be the case, especially from my anecdotal experience, that getting anything more than a 1-3 word reply is considered a success.

I've made a few frivolous purchases, but I don't think I've made an irresponsible one yet.

I consider frivolous as "unnecessary but desired" and irresponsible as "Spending funds that are not excess and intended for a debt, payment, or life necessity"

There actually is a ship log where the final message was indeed "Run roh" I'll see if I can find the sauce

I dunno man, flaming horses are dope

Toooomorrow tomorrow I love ya, tomorrow, you're only a day aaaawayyyyy -the song I hate yet is imprinted on me. Thank you younger sibling for that. It was also mom that broke that CD, RIP (Rest in pieces you over played movie)

If it were a shortening like that, should it not be more akin to a contraction? Because also based on who you talk to, that's also not entirely true, some people feel that the meaning of "next" could mean "this" or "the following" based on what day of the week it is. If it were Sunday and I said next weekend, do you think that is the upcoming Saturday? Or the following Saturday?

Well I, for one, would never personally use anything redundant in speech. Otherwise my own, personal intent, may be muddled. Language has never seen pointless redundancy as it would make no sense for there to be redundancy.

Sorry but I had to tease you there. Redundancy exists plenty in common communication, and, to avoid misinterpretation, I do typically refer days in numerical values. However the mothod of using "next" seems to have a varying definition based on who you speak with and if "next" is a pointless word to use in this context, so would "this" in "this weekend". Why use many words when few do trick? People are going to add filler words for flow of speech. Its okay for it to be useless or filler, just as people use " uhh", "but um", and "like". My argument is just that even if it is redundant, the meaning shouldn't change to the way people are effectively using it as a contraction for "next week's"

Edit: I also want to be clear, this is me dying on this hill lmao, just as the OP asked haha

That sounds a little bit like a language barrier type deal but that does make more sense to me too, since you are prefacing the Saturday with a unit of time to measure by "week"

Why does it change based on the time of week lmao I'm not upset it just does not compute that the meaning of the word changes simply because the day of the week is different

Why use any of those options and not just a number; "three days from now" etc.? Because the flow of language can feel better or more natural using some words over others. You can also notice that the way people interpret it can change based on where in the week it is. On a Monday, "this" and "next" can have the same meaning but not on Friday.

My argument is simply that "this" and "next" should be synonymous under this context since they mean effectively the same thing by that usage. It also would mean that it won't change depending on the point in time of reference.

Probably something by the RHCP, but I cannot remember properly

When saying "Next" in reference to a time "Next" means the soonest occurrence of that. Don't skip one. If today is friday and I say "Next Saturday", that is tomorrow, not 8 days from now.

I'm definitely pro union, my work did almost go union actually! But we just follow a union contract that another workplace has from their union. For the most part I think its the best of both worlds, but if they keep aggravating people we aren't too far away.

I've been following what's been going on unionwise all very the USA and I'm kinda pumped about it
