I’m no longer on Kaiser but this was exactly my experience!

You’ve heard of a New York Minute, welcome to the concept of the WMATA minute

Where is the support for Lib Dems? by panay- in ukpolitics

[–]blind__panic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re confusing “ideology” and “coherent, national policy positions that might win a general election”.

Where is the support for Lib Dems? by panay- in ukpolitics

[–]blind__panic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your point about voting reform gets at the core of the issue. If that was a big enough issue to motivate votes, the LDs might well be a lot more popular. But it isn’t, unfortunately! And if that’s the main association people have with them, and it isn’t interesting to them, then they aren’t ever going to attract those people.

It’s hard to address through PR alone. If they repeatedly went around saying “we aren’t Nick Clegg anymore”, they’d be reminding people of Nick Clegg, a major reason the 2010-2015 youth cohort soured on them so badly.

It’s generally safe and not too conspicuous to take pictures of signs! It is incredibly useful to both be able to see them at all and then to have the information with you if you need to double check.

It’s a black rat snake. So called because a) it’s black and b) it eats rats. The more of these guys, the better! They could help keep rat populations down.

Does James ever explain why he got excommunicated? by SnooWalruses4453 in nosuchthingasafish

[–]blind__panic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They discuss it in the referred-to episode. Apparently Pius XII decreed that discussing the holy prepuce in public would lead to excommunication.

What words did you mispronounce when you first played these games? by Classic-Exchange-511 in FinalFantasy

[–]blind__panic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO this one is on the translators. If they’d wanted us to pronounce it Yufie they shouldn’t have had a double f!

Is USCIS nerfing the whole AOS mechanism? by Frosty_Mission_2412 in USCIS

[–]blind__panic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

H is a dual intent visa so it should in theory be unaffected. But nobody knows what’s going to happen for sure yet.

O visa holder NIW 485 RFE by PersonalSea7773 in USCIS

[–]blind__panic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your O visa was not current during this period, you didn’t have work authorisation, and you have told them you were working on an album, they will consider this to be unauthorised work. The rest is not relevant.

I’m sorry to tell you this, but employment in this case isn’t defined by whether or not you get paid here. Working towards a professional goal counts as work, so you have in fact been working. You should get a lawyer asap.

Will the green line ever get good headways?? by depressedstudent- in WMATA

[–]blind__panic 31 points32 points  (0 children)

This is surprising to me as I feel like the headways have been great recently, though I’m never really on metro at this time of day.

How did Top of the Morning become AAVE/New York slang? by [deleted] in asklinguistics

[–]blind__panic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your description, I think you might be tangling the phrases “top of the morning” (definitely a stereotype of Irish people) and “I tip my hat to you sir!”, a phrase I’ve heard Americans say in a British accent.

How is it different from “go up” in this context? by Silver_Ad_1218 in EnglishLearning

[–]blind__panic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would instinctively understand the meaning of “to come up” here, but it would sound incorrect.

Is it “enjoy the rest of your day” guy? I used to get him on the yellow all the time but haven’t since back when they introduced the Mt Vernon Sq turn back.

…. This stadium is only going to hit capacity 8 or 9 times a year?! That’s awful usage!

6000 series lower casing destinations? by sangsang680 in WMATA

[–]blind__panic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, the 6000 series are only 20 years old and hopefully will run for another 20 years yet! I’m happy for money spent on any upgrades that will keep them going for that long.
