Narcissism and cronyism. What other reasons does trump ever do things for?

Narcissism and cronyism. What other reasons does trump ever do things for?

Ah yes, tell me more about how liberalism creates conservatism and follow it up with how authoritarianism creates personal freedom. Bonus points for sneaking in why modem day Russia and China are such great places for LGBT+ folk, or why Hillary and Kamala are responsible for all of Donald J. Trump’s crimes and how if we can just destroy the Democratic Party we will finally prevent a Republican presidency. While you’re at it, remind me how it was that Ukraine forced Russia to invade it.

Communism will make everyone kind and unbigoted?

Enormity does not mean great size, it means more like great evil. I gave up the fight for this word because with even the BBC misusing it, I was never going to win. Now both meanings appear in the dictionary. What can you do? Most people who are conflating two things don’t care, so they are always going to say “huh. Why so you care so much?” In my case, that only has boring potential answers, but in your case it has an easy answer few are unmoved by, so I would drop the fight for the original meaning of words when society has moved on if I were you.

Linguists define the meaning of a word from its use. You can’t prevent language change as an individual, and this one is always going to get interpreted a particular way. Give up. Already dictionaries literally list figuratively as a meaning for literally. It’s not going to work and it’s not worth your time.

I really like futo keyboard and have been using it for months, but why the fuck does it think I want to type KYJREW when I was trying to type like? Who even put KYJREW in a dictionary?

Yes!

One of my favourite videos.

Love it.

Absolutely.

This is a fair point. I’m a programmer and this kind of banter is not super common in my workplace. We are all a little bit odd in our own ways.

I remember it well.

The newspapers were apoplectic about the coming millennium bug Armageddon (hospital equipment was all going to crash because programmers encoded a date as two digits to save what was then rather sparse memory and storage space, and everyone was going to accidentally become of negative age and all timers would temporarily give very wrong answers.

COBOL programmers: there’s a serious issue with banking and other business systems and we need to concentrate on this above above other issues to resolve it
Managers and newspapers: ARMAGEDDON!
COBOL programmers: we’ve got this.
Newspapers: nobody is doing anything about it! Armageddon!
COBOL programmers: It’s a lot of work but we’re cracking on, we’ve been working at it a while and it’s going to be tight and we’re going to need to put in some overtime, but really, we’ve got this.
Newspapers: OH FUCK LITERALLY EVERYTHING IS GOING TO CRASH

Millienium dawns. Some slight issues remain. Most important systems already patched and fine. Society does not crash.

Newspapers: There was no millennium bug after all!
COBOL programmers: no, there was, but we fixed it like we said we needed to and then we did. Boy, that was hard work.
Newspapers: It was ALL A HOAX.
COBOL programmers: no, it was a problem and we fixed it.
Newpapers: CELEBRITY WOMAN WEARS DRESS.
COBOL programmers: we just see the world differently, I guess. Can I retire early with all this emergency business critical overtime money?

I want to argue with this but find myself short of a rational basis to do so. Does this mean I have become alt right?

And a true Putin supporter wouldn’t want it any other way.

That’s the first time anyone called me pops! NOW I feel old!

Between the ages of about 13 and 17, teenagers are very sensitive to peer pressure and are also trying hard to be more mature, so they police each other’s and their own interests against being ‘childish’.

Once they’re old enough that they don’t worry about looking like kids, if their peer group is chill and non judgemental (for example, in quite a lot of colleges and universities), they relax and enjoy some toys again.

It’s common to reject the previous stage in maturity temporarily. So middle schoolers don’t want to be mislabelled as primary school children and high schoolers don’t want to be mislabelled as middle schoolers, just as college attendees don’t want to be mislabelled as school children at all etc. With enough distance, “NO!” becomes “lol, no” and people relax.

I can’t stress the importance of having a chill and non judgemental peer group for this process to work enough, though.

In a house with children, playing with the kids is always being a great parent, but can also be neglecting sharing the burden of work, and there’s a lot of work, so play activities can also be seen as negative. Maybe that’s why some of the parents aren’t into fun. Often parents try to be sensible and responsible while grandparents unashamedly have fun.

TL;DR: It’s a sign of further maturity to stop policing maturity.

Thank you. I didn’t know what 23 was about

Nope. Source: am gen X.

Correction, it’s either odd or it’s divisible by two.

Strangely silent. Hmmm.

What’s the video, and what does this thread mean?
