  • Me too. It's the one word that triggers something in my brain.

  • Oxford spelling, Oxford comma: what's not to like?

    Anything with a United Nations style spellcheck will sort it for you.

  • Depends on the tense.

    I spell it wrong.

    I have spelled it wrong.

    I spelled it wrong.

    I had spelt it wrong.

    "I had spelled it wrong" sounds like a hillbilly.

  • Do you by any chance know where I could read a good introduction to Canadian English?

    I can write fluently in UK and US English but Canadian sometimes has me stumped.

  • It's probably an insurance fire.

    This crying is all theater. There will be an angle to it for Musk and the other oligarchs.

  • This. Feels like people are just rising to the bait.

  • Adolf Hitler said he had solutions to all these problems. Screaming his threats and boasts, he could seem insane to outsiders, but he was saying what his audiences wanted to hear. He promised jobs, better living conditions, restored power and pride for Germany, and suppression of communism and other political trouble-makers. He also attacked Germany’s Jews, saying they were responsible for Germany’s defeat in the war.

    Despite his growing support, some had a hard time taking him seriously. Hitler’s boasts that Germany would regain power sounded so fantastic, it kept the world laughing for a few more years.

  • No need. Just lock him in a tesla long enough.

  • That person is delusional. If North America were a group of Indigenous nations it wouldn't have been a major immigration target for European refugees.

  • I am here because Germany went fucking nuts and bombed my homeland.

    No, you're there because the people already there decided to let your family in.

    Them being in a position to let you in js a crucial factor. And the reason their society got to control that is because of what they had done to other people beforehand.

    No one is asking you to feel guilt and no one is blaming you. But facts are facts.

  • It might be you who needs to grow up. This is a weird knee jerk reaction.

    Non Americans should be able to ask a question about America without being told to "grow up".

    It's not childish to wonder how much Americans understand about how fucked up their choice of leadership is. We're not psychic.

  • This meme ha a terminal case of Poe's Law.

  • Thanks for answering but this isn't very clear.I understand you don't want co-governance, you want Indigenous Sovereignty - but you also want to get to put limits on that sovereignty.

    to ultimately live side-by-side with indigenous people as equals.

    You seem to want to make Indigenous people give whites and other groups use of the land, water, and other resources.

    But under that plan, Indigenous people would also have to be responsible for hosting them and all the labour of governance. They wouldn't get to evict them.

    I wonder what your reaction is to any Indigenous people who would be against limitations to their sovereignty.

  • Sounds like the original authors were thinking about honourable men with tuberculosis rather than dishonourable men with dementia.

    This is probably a naive comment but it seems a pity the Amendments weren't kept up to date with the times so that their spirit could be enforced by practical applications.

  • I ENJOY pontificating about words. It's my happy place!

    I was not trying to taunt you or insult you, friend.

    But it sounds like you're not really in a head space right now where you can enjoy this conversation. I can respect that. Peace.
