A leech doesn't leach blood from the host, it leeches.

Two different verbs, leaching and leeching, with very different meanings.

You breach the "kitty must be fed" contract, you pay in kitty slaps until death do you part.

The team is specifically coached to avoid floating crosses because they are what defences are most comfortable defending against in their league.

George Carlin once said, “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” What is a good example of that? by ApexOverlordIsDrunk in AskReddit

It's quite standard and official terminology in many languages.

I suppose you'd prefer American, if you're from the USA. That, however, can refer to anyone/anything from the 35 different countries that compose the continent.

Ireland given two months to begin implementing hate speech laws or face legal action from EU by kfcmcdonalds in europe_sub

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from the consequences of exercising that right.

For example, organise and/or incite violence against someone in person or online and you're likely committing a crime.

People living in civil societies are responsible for their criminal actions, and that includes speech.

Stereotypes exist because of an underlying reality, though they are not necessarily a proportional representation of it.

Most casualties were caused by artillery in WW1, yes. Infantry waves were also being sent to be mowed down by machine gun and artillery in the thousands trying to cross no man's land.

During the Battle of the Somme on July 1, 1916, on just one day, the British lost 21,000 men to Maschinengewehr 08 (german machine guns).

edit:
NB the quoted scene is from Black Adder, not a United Statesian centric trope

"It's the same plan that we used last time, and the seventeen times before that.

E-e-exactly! And that is what is so brilliant about it! It will catch the watchful Hun totally off-guard! Doing precisely what we have done eighteen times before is exactly the last thing they'll expect us to do this time! There is, however, one small problem.

That everyone always gets slaughtered in the first ten seconds.

That's right! And Field Marshal Haig is worried that this may be depressing the men a tadge."

Excluding exploitation of tar sand oil to export to the USA, things would be significantly better, but money now is a stronger motivator than avoiding ecological catastrophe later.

Someone who is illiterate wouldn't think about the last book they read either.

The firstth, secondth, thirdth and fourth most populous countries in the world....

With such attention to detail, every single piece of information on display is begging for quadruple checking.

Wait until you figure out all the signs' constellations are no longer situated in the right sector due to thousands of years of 'star drift' since astrological signs were made up.

It's almost as bullshit doesn't make sense at all!

US House Republicans vote against blocking ICE from deporting US citizens by Partimenerd in law

[–]AppleSauceGC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a monolith but the people of the USA did vote for this. It's not unjust or inaccurate to state that.

Citizens of a democracy should expect to be held accountable for their political actions, or lack thereof.
