The famous person wears the same size water skis as me
She's got three cars as many years I've lived in this city
Her hair is blonde and mine is brown; they both start with a "b"

I'm not disagreeing with your larger point but I don't necessarily buy the part of your explanation saying

This is easily demonstrable since “a” and “the” have the same vowel sound in fluent speech (for most dialects of English), but while we get “a cat” but “an apple”, we don’t get “the cat”, but “then apple”

because in most dialects (at least of American English) "the" before a consonant uses ə while before a vowel sound it's ē.

libertarian house cat analogy

I searched this and found a bunch of reddit libertarians coping about how much they aren't stupid children living off the government while hating it.

We played it in school on 5.24” floppies.

Tech around that time depended a lot on what was affordable. Like I had 5¼ floppies at home but school had Apple IIGS with 3.5" drives that we used for Oregon Trail.

Also wikipedia is telling me that 5.25 floppies were actually 130 mm, which would be 5.1". I guess "five and a quarter" rolls of the tongue better so they rounded up.

Eliza Coupe is great; I don't see the problem

S9 was fine, it was just a different show

Do you know if there are actual penalties for not filing? Most of what I've seen says that you have to pay a fine based on what you owe, but if you owe $0 they don't charge you for it. Some years I don't get around to filing because it's a little complicated and I'm pretty lazy about it. I always file the foreign bank declaration though because there's heavy financial penalties for not doing that.

If I could go back and slap the shit out of the inventor of katakana I would. Can you imagine a French class in the US where some kid says "Joo my apple John Clod Van Dam. Joo soois Americane," and the teacher telling them it's perfect?

You think that dumbfuck is gonna sit down and watch youtube makeup tips to help with contour blending? He hasn't learned anything new since he was a toddler.

Not exactly fast food but Japan's version of Chinese food is to dump this starchy sauce on everything on the plate.

I have people at this table who can't speak nearly as well.

Yeah, including the pumpkin president himself

Until billionaires are illegal we're probably all fucked anyway.

Good, split the tech bro vote away from maga. Add in the rubes who'll believe that the new party represents anti woke freedom, and the gop will lose big.

Is FEMA helping, or is the melting mango fart withholding money like he did for Sarah Huckasand's state? Maybe if Greg Abbott were a little hotter and let creepotus fondle his bussy he'd get some funding.

In Japan, they used the title "Old Man Carl's Flying House" for Pixar's Up.

I have no idea how Bernie has kept fighting the good fight in the face of 60 years of seeing the worst of humanity constantly try to fuck everything up. He's a better man than I am.

Seriously. Dude's got mush brain and was steeped in racism starting in the 50s. I'm surprised he hasn't called anyone a wop or mick yet

Definitely got some Lower Decks vibes as well. Are they ever gonna make more Orville seasons?

Gotcha. I'm the opposite: hundreds of hours in terraria but can't get into MC
