  • Are you trying to get him elected a third time?

    Is supporters would eat that up. "He's just so brave and relatable."

  • No that's because they got all them teeth and ain't got no toothbrush

  • I know correlation ≠ causation, but I really want to believe your relationship was ruined because your wife was sneaking out in the middle of the night to use Windows

  • Facts. Dudes best bet is a lawyer and to lay low.

    If that was me, there's no way I'm walking into a police station on my own.

  • This is super interesting and I often wonder how differences in thought patterns, as they relate to a language, affect the culture of the language speakers themselves.

    Do those speaking that dialect have like a cultural feeling that they need to "take" or "receive" or otherwise "acquire" a thing (like RDP) to make a connection? This as opposed to what I see as a very american way of looking at things (again using RDP as an example here), where "we've already got it, so will give it to you to make the connection."

    It feels like, and I could be very wrong, one comes from a place of not being accustomed to already having what they need, vs taking for granted the things they have and "sending it forth" or whatever.

  • Haha I know its an endearment, since we've all been friends for years now. One thing that got me recently was one of them talking about the new whipper-snipper he just bought and how quiet it was, being electric.

    I had no idea what the hell a whipper-snipper was, but know a "whippersnapper" means young person where I'm from.

    Turns out a whipper-snipper is the same as a weed-whacker / weed-eater in my part of the world.

  • Lol damn I guess I've gotten quite a few handys over the years. I purchased most of them for myself, but the free ones were nice too.

  • And for some of us they're difficult in our first language. I mean what the fuck does "he wears his heart on his sleeve mean?" He would die.

  • Haha I sim race with several Aussies and Kiwis and I'm quite happy to be called a cunt by them because it usually means I won. "'Ow in the fack did yiu get tha leed ya cunt!?"

  • And here I initially thought politics when I heard climate change and conservative in the same sentence. As in, "Climate change is not seen as a risk to conservatives."

  • Haha i am just starting to learn Japanese and I gotta say its challenging but so fun. I love the grammar, at least as far as I understand it at this point. Like Yoda's grammar it is.

  • Let's eat Grandpa.

    Let's eat, Grandpa.
