You're just jealous because your shoes don't have windshields, obviously. :3

That awkward moment when the genocidal occupying force can't handle literal facts.

I do when I can't be arsed otherwise.

On a good day, I slowly simmer oat milk and water in two pans and Aeropress fresh-ground coffee to make something akin to a flat white.

Can't be arsed? Oat milk in a mug in the microwave for 1-2 min and a tablespoon of Medaglia De Oro instant espresso powder.

What is this from? I'm not sure I want to know but I am morbidly curious.

Said of essentially everywhere.

And then old people wonder why young people are so anxious and depressed these days...

Nobody likes him because he's an asshole.

The two do tend to go together though.

Annoying and aggressive about it to the point where you'd like to wring their necks? Yeah, that's exactly what that's like.

Whatever it takes to get his ass behind bars.

I feel kinda bad for Nickelback, too.

"Cheese bro?" You can't make this shit up.

And it's not exactly "work" so much as it is "Labor" in the sense of "the people who do the work."

If your only job is to own things, you are a parasite, not a creator.

I remember when I was young and the Internet was the only place I felt like I wasn't constantly being talked down to. It was the only emotionally safe space I had.

I want young people being able to express themselves equally and without fear.

I'm not sure if I should be angry at yet another attempt to exclude young people when the internet is already practically the last refuge in which they are allowed to exist at all...

... or laugh my ass off that literally anyone thinks this rule will be obeyed.

It's not so much a feature of English as it is a recurring bug in the way people use the language...

If you write "of" instead of "have" or "'ve" you need to be taken out back and beaten with a dictionary, preferably until you can apologize to your ancestors in person for the effort they wasted in passing down the English language to you.

Incidentally, when did people start saying "on accident"? It's by accident! Has been for ages! Why this? Why now? I hate it.

With that out of the way... English isn't a language, it's five dialects in a trenchcoat mugging other languages in a dark alley for their loose grammar.

Edit: With regards to OP, "a cookbook" and "to cook the books" are similar phrases in English, too, but have, eh, wildly different meanings. XD

Reality rarely backs up anything Republicans say.

Serious Answer:

It doesn't "stand for" anything in that it's not an acronym or acrostic.

It's the name of Star Trek "tropical resort planet." People go on shore leave there in the way that people go on vacation to Bermuda or the Bahamas; it's kind of the default "iconic tropical paradise" location.

On one notable occasion, Captain Picard went on vacation there.

Before he left, Commander Riker asked him to pick him up a certain souvenir from there.

You see the wooden statue in the sidebar over there? ---

That thing. It has a name. I don't remember what it's called.

What Riker didn't tell him is that displaying one of those statues openly is basically Risan shorthand for "I'm cruising for casual sex." So Picard was just like "yeah, I finally got around to buying Will that ugly statue he wanted; can't be arsed to take it back to my room right now though." So he just kinda carried it around with him for the day, had it hanging out on the table next to him while he was reading and such. With predictably awkward/hilarious results.

So yeah. This community is named after a low-stress tropical tourist trap that was occasionally spiced up with adventure and trolling. The perfect place for Star Trek related memes and shitposts.
