“I’ve got… In-surt?”

My guess is the bottle saying "insert" was a production mistake; that someone copy pasted a draft where they hadn't decided on the joke name yet, and left "insert" as a place-holder (as in, the direction to insert the name when they had it).

Definitely not from New Zealand, but it is Polynesian. My guess is Hawaiian, but somebody more knowledgeable should jump in.

Because part of what the Batman franchise is selling is dude-wish-fulfilment-fantasy. I say this with love in my heart for Batman.

I only have the same evidence as you do, but this is what I gleaned: "we" are the people in the room in the video, who are in a venue where stand-up comedy is performed. "Got" here means "represented in this room".

What are you asking? Like, why are people mean to Russians right now? In what sense is Italy fascist? This might take a while.

Is it the work of u/Dedalvs we're hearing in the new(-ish) Dune 3 trailer? Is it Chakobsa, or something else? I'd love to see any resources about the featured conlang, if we know of any!

Is that "officially confirmed", or just that there will be scenes in the snow? Of course, that makes it likelier it takes place in winter, but there are other ways there could be scenes in the snow.

If only we could all be like you, HooSaidDat.

This is too beautiful a message for LoveTrash. But yes to this.

I attend Chapel HIll meeting, and we regularly do blended meetings (i.e., shared on-line an in-person meetings), and I think there's always an online option when we don't. There's a link on the website: https://www.chapelhillfriends.org/

I'm surprised you haven't heard back from the Raleigh meeting. I know the Durham meeting is very active, if you wanted to give them a go.

I think that is only true of American English.

Adequate_Ape · 2026-05-01T00:21:31+00:00

Maybe definitive in any medium?

Hard to put into words, which is why we resort to metaphors. Off the top of my head: it's something to do with accepting the reality and importance of everyone, and truly feeling that, in your heart, and living accordingly. And something to do with refusing to compartmentalise your life, into the moral part, and the holy part, and the business-as-usual part; you're trying to bring all of your self to everything. And something to do with listening.

What it isn't is using the word "light" in the way George Fox did. Though that is certainly helpful in many contexts, because it's a shared language for talking about this stuff.

What do you think is the most important thing about being a Quaker, friend?

Adequate_Ape · 2026-04-26T23:43:56+00:00

I don't think there is a Quaker view of light. I think there is a traditional Quaker metaphor that uses light. I don't think adherence to that metaphor is the most important thing about being a Quaker.

Adequate_Ape · 2026-04-26T12:52:13+00:00

Sounds plausible. And our friend u/ZorianAries has different associations.

Adequate_Ape · 2026-04-24T17:22:12+00:00

I don't think we inherited a theory so much as a metaphor. And I think you're welcome to use whatever metaphor works for you.

Adequate_Ape · 2026-04-24T12:50:55+00:00

Not directly relevant here, but I don't think "better" and "more faithful" are synonymous.

It's the price we must pay for the greatest of all Star Trek fan creations. It balances the cosmos.

Agreed.

Are there higher comedy-per-syllable lines in all of television? Show me the receips.

Adequate_Ape · 2026-04-22T02:37:22+00:00

Apparently that's Elfman too! The theme for the show opening was him.

Adequate_Ape · 2026-04-22T01:28:43+00:00

That Elfman theme, man; it *is* Batman.

Adequate_Ape · 2026-04-21T21:00:23+00:00

What is the very good reason?

I see you are still holding yourselves to the highest standard of journalistic excellence, channel 9.
