1·2 months agoNo, we haven’t perfected the pheasant yet.
Why don’t you go eat a pheasant, you commie.
Once we perfect it, you mean.
Looks like kowloon walled water park
Oh wowwww. Look at mr/mrs bigshot over here with 192 GB of ram.
Why so secretive of your ram?
You could use your twm within kde or xfce. I’ve never done it, but people who have seem to be happy with it.
You got me fucked up if you think I’m reading all that.

I’ve never felt awkward hitting the no tip button. I didn’t even realize that people felt it was an obligation for the longest time. I would just hit the “no thanks” button and think nothing about it. I also never got the impression that the person working the register thought any less of me.
I tip delivery drivers and waiters. That’s about it.
What about if it’s viewed from 238 thousand miles away?
Same here. I was so good at it. I still remember the manager snide remark about how I didn’t actually care about the charity, and me being like, “yup, now about those burritos…”
Women are generally pretty capable of lifting twice their weight.
Is that why we call them ants?
In the U.S., most salary jobs are spoken about in annual terms. Job listing’s list annual salary, offer letters list annual pay, my employee portal lists annual pay, etc. My pay stubs are biweekly though. Pretty much nothing is ever described in monthly terms, at least not that I’ve ever seen.
Same in Nashville. It’s a shame. I wish the government would regulate this more.
I guess “American” is different then?
But you go ahead and keep hating on people who live in the U.S. No need to think for yourself.
Language is a complicated and very fluid social construct. What means one thing somewhere might mean something different somewhere else, even if the same language is spoken in both places. Both usages of the word are correct, and it’s both the responsibility of to the speaker and listener to understand each other. It’s confusing, but that’s how things are in the real world. Of course you can say “America” to refer to the continents, and if that’s what’s dictated by social contract where you’re from, then more power to you. I’m just saying that you can’t judge an entire nation of people based off the colloquial usage of a word (not that you were, I’m referring to the person I responded to).
Pretty much everyone except people from “America”, that is, the US.
Well that is a broad generalization spoken from a place of ignorance. I promise you that the vast majority of Americans (that is, people from the U.S.) know about the Americas (that is, the continents).
That being said, colloquially, the term “America” generally refers to the United States. And that’s true most everywhere, not just in the U.S.
Most people will say “North”, “South”, or “Americas” (plural) when talking about the continents.
It’s by design
