I’ve been trying to get the semicolon to take off; haven’t had much luck though.

I think you’ve generalized a bit too much. The gender-swapped format was not created for this exact meme, it’s just a jovial commentary on male stereotypes women find unappealing. In this case, the joke isn’t that she saw a stack of random games, they’re all FIFA – did you maybe not notice that? The annoying male FIFA player is a pretty well-established meme at this point.
something we desperately need, like making all political donations illegal.
I don’t know how serious this idea is, but I have questions. Wouldn’t making all political donations illegal favor the rich more than the system already does, especially for small local elections? Could people just gift money to a not-yet-candidate prior to starting any campaigning? If yes, then the person with the wealthiest “friends” wins; if no, where do you draw the line chronologically? Is only cash money considered a donation – are stage appearances fine to “gift” to a political candidate? Can I neutralize a candidate by mailing them cash and reporting them? If no, what is required for them to do with the money?
I think I’d rather just see Citizens United overturned, but I’m very interested in more info on this idea
I was just trying to figure out if that’s industry standard or his “veiled” threats… I’m intimidated and I don’t even work there
Wait – unionizing means giving up stock options? I tried verifying this on [search engine] but not finding anything meaningful, is that real?
Value-adders.
DEI hire >> nepo hire
Mine is sate vs satiate
Dems have to be in on it, that’s the only thing that makes sense. It isn’t Dem vs. Rep, it’s rich vs. poor :(
Wow do you even respect your dog?
I hear you, and those things seem nice at a glance, but I don’t agree with your sense of guarantee. We’re seeing an upending of things that “usually” happen, or that “definitely can” happen, especially with “self-managed” entities such as the SCOTUS. Have you seen judges actually get held accountable recently, even locally?
What are you basing this on?
I thought it was bot spam
How are there two St. Martin parishes within a proverbial block of each other?
Edit: Oh, okay they’re the same parish, geographical locality be damned. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Martin_Parish,_Louisiana
That guy has the BEST impersonation I’ve ever seen, it’s repulsive! Not just the voice, but the hands, the sucking air through the teeth, the head tilts and mouth movements, all spot-on. You know how you have to wonder about the mental state of horror game/movie artists looking at reference material all day? Same feeling about Shane Gillis.
You just made an inefficient evaporative purifier!
The New York statue, in Union Square, was removed early that afternoon; the New York City Parks Department made a statement that it “stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small”.
I can’t
To clarify a point I don’t think the people replying have specifically pointed out enough already: this line of thinking is contrary to a representative democracy. If some people aren’t worthy of voting, then they aren’t worthy of being represented by their government (e.g. slaves, felons, children). That’s the main disagreement I have with that idea.
If you truly believe there’s a measurable line for intelligence/competence below which people shouldn’t vote, are you worried there are so many people in that group that it would affect the outcome? If that’s true, then don’t they deserve representation? This problem is solved if everyone votes. Shouldn’t we just try to educate people instead of creating another marginalized group?
Gonna add an unsolicited recommendation here. One of the main things I held onto Amazon for was wishlisting for holidays. I’ve since migrated to giftopedia and I like it, so if you are me, give that a try.
I got that advice as well – the explanation given to me was that it’s almost always used incorrectly, so just be safe and don’t. However, I like the way it makes writing more closely resemble natural speech; we usually talk in conjoined clauses rather than complete sentences.
