“Clue me in” is the idiom. Que Cue is closer than queue, if you were an actor and needed a hint on where to go next.

Competition for Veridian Dynamics

Roofman is released (the remake starring Roman Christou, not the dude it’s about)

Thanks!

I’m definitely arguing against standard rules then 🙄

However, I’d say generally people write “Good morning John, please do this boring thing from last week”, instead of “Good morning, John, please do this thing”.

Honestly I’m not sure if I’m critiquing widely accepted English grammar because it seems kinda like the serial comma (some use, some don’t), but I don’t know the name for it.

The NY Times piece on commas doesn’t cite any sources and gives examples with and without based on Byzantine rules I highly doubt anyone follows, and the OWL doesn’t seem to cover this specifically.

So… any idea what this particular type of comma is called that I’m wrong about but would like to persuade others that I should be right?

That comma is unnecessary and introduces ambiguity to the sentence, which is the opposite of what commas are supposed to do.

For example, who is the dumbass?:

Have a good weekend dumbass!

Have a good week, dumbass!

Have a good week,

Dumbass!

Who is Carol?!? The addressed, or the addressee? (I’m not actually an English expert so may be wildly incorrect)

Living a life of quiet desperation.

This is a hilarious example of how in some cases social commentary cannot be obvious enough.

I still really liked the follow up two, but definitely a different vibe

I’m pretty late but hopefully this helps someone:

Privacy is in the moment. It isn’t just about your SSN, or the email address you had ten years ago even you signed up for Pegging by Peggy newsletters. It’s a moving target and the highest value for the people that want your data is as close to right now as possible.

If you digitally disappeared in this moment the value of all the shit they have on you would rapidly decline.

It also is about as complete a picture as possible. Privacy violating data points are valuable in aggregation. An address and name are only valuable when you can tie it to viewing preferences, voting records, etc. The more data points you can hide, the better.

Also, many (most?) people will be more upset with the person who rocks the boat or is the messenger of bad news than the perpetrator of the real problem. “We’ve tried nothing and are all out of ideas” applies to people you might care about just as much as it does to Schummer.

:D

2 seems to be the magic limit for me too. If I go to the grocery store for 3 or more things, 1 or more things will not be procured.

Sounds about right, except I think with ADHD you’re probably struggling to hold one or maybe two things in your head.

I imagine they were met with clubs and bullets?

In February of 1910, the NWTUL settled with the factory owners, gaining improved wages, working conditions, and hours.

Wow, what a pleasant surprise!

The end of the strike was followed just a year later by the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire

FFS

Because the doors to the stairwells and exits were locked—a common practice at the time to prevent workers from taking unauthorized breaks and to reduce theft—many of the workers could not escape from the burning building and jumped from the high windows.

Edit, it gets better:

Although smoking was banned in the factory, cutters were known to sneak cigarettes, exhaling the smoke through their lapels to avoid detection.[11]: 119  A New York Times article suggested that the fire had been started by the engines running the sewing machines. A series of articles in Collier’s noted a pattern of arson among certain sectors of the garment industry whenever their particular product fell out of fashion or had excess inventory in order to collect insurance. The Insurance Monitor, a leading industry journal, observed that shirtwaists had recently fallen out of fashion, and that insurance for such stock was “fairly saturated with moral hazard”. Although Blanck and Harris were known for having had four previous suspicious fire claims, arson was not suspected in this case.

If your unit of measurement is 1 Asia coastline, all others would be some changing fraction thereof. Mathematical equation paradox maybe but hardly over that disproves the answer.

because I have to use my school’s docx template.

For a thesis. wtf.

But giving away grain to peasants is why the entire empire fell to ruin! Letting people starve is the most humane way of reducing hunger in the long run, it just takes strong leadership to do what most be done. Really, it’ll be faster, easier, and cheaper (which is by definition better for everyone) if we help accelerate things. Which will be the next bit of societal tough love that Crowder will be taking the high road on.

I went in thinking “ok, fan fiction, alternate take on the universe”, and it was an ok show with some surprisingly great parts. Then the season two plot was just a turtle fucking a snail, and I was done.

Edit: to be clear, it was slow motion WTF, why is this nothing happening?

THEY ALREADY TALKED TO VETERINARIANS MULTIPLE TIMES AND ARE TRYING TO SEE IF SOMEONE HAS HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE THAT MIGHT POINT THEM IN A HELPFUL DIRECTION
