For those who don't know: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect

The problem is that the noun class that is used to refer to you is based on your gender. As long as that is the case, grammatical gender will probably be the most apt name for the concept.

That'sh for blashphemy!

Tlist Ze File!

1. I'm fat.
2. The weather.

In fairness, the Church of England is hardly in the top tier of most horrible variants of Christianity.

Unless the religion OP was talking about was the England football team, in which case, yes.

Do you also travel around in an unmarked van?

It is a meme that trans girls like Fallout: New Vegas for reasons that I can't entirely explain.

Context:

1. Scooby Doo episodes are usually about some dude who dresses up as a ghost or monster for some nefarious reason, e.g. scare people away from a theme park to put it out of business so they can buy the land for cheap or whatever. So episodes would usually end with the gang catching the ghost, unmasking him, and being him to explain why they did it.
2. Shaggy (the guy in the green t-shirt) is often asserted to be a "stoner" because he is paranoid and always hungry for snacks. Often also the rest of the gang, by association.

The Joke:

They have mistaken Patton Oswalt - who has a perfectly legitimate reason for being dressed as a ghost - for a villain. Because they are high.

My favourite games are Fallout: New Vegas and Celeste.

The enemy used expelliarmus.

Your pronouns are now /.

ow oof my bones and skin and organs

Are you familiar with the comedian James Acaster? He has a relevant bit: https://youtu.be/Zt5qJC1xQ8A

I always wondered how plumbuses got made.

I'm pretty sure that's a dark souls boss fight.

I am no visionary but if Linux doesn’t internalize this, I’m afraid some other kernel will do to it what it did to Unix.

Maybe that's not a bad thing? If you ask me the GNU people are missing a trick. Perhaps if they rewrote Hurd in Rust they could finally shed that "/Linux".

It's true. I was only ever eating bacon to keep the flying pig population in check, but now I don't have to because the wind turbines will do the job.

All this time I assumed Uranus was just the Roman equivalent of Ouranos.

If you want to change a politician’s mind, you don’t do it by dangling your vote on a carrot.

So how do you do it?
