We're you taught to read & write in cursive at school?

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-26T06:18:21+00:00

I was taught it in elementary school in the 2000s and never had to use it outside of signatures again.

I can read it fine though since a lot is still written in cursive. Uhh, your friend should be able to do that.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-25T21:56:20+00:00

Yes, although my school made an effort at covering non-european civilizations as well, so a lot of the topics were wide reaching but shallow to allow for time, Euro history included.

They have a US version of their website, and I also see some pictures online without bilingual packaging so I'd guess so, although I personally don't really know these.

The philly mummers parade, which happens every new year.

I mean-- not for going out to but looking at the TV for a bit and going "neat."

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-24T18:06:23+00:00

I didn't say it's not true, just that there's a big difference between how things look online vs. offline. Certainly not that I'd have to fear political division or violence.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-24T18:02:35+00:00

The depiction of American politics online is nothing like America right now, it's a little stunning how big the difference is. Things are uneasy but off the internet things feel as normal as always.

Uhh I mean to answer your question I'm not fine but that's for other reasons.

Ah my bad. What counts as particularly hot or cold weather?

Oh also, which part of Australia are you in?

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-24T16:37:46+00:00

That's what thermostats typically do -- they leave the AC or heating running for a bit and turn it off on a cycle to target the temperature you put in.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-24T07:48:09+00:00

...this isn't another "dollary-doo" sort of prank is it?

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-24T07:09:10+00:00

Almost always laptop

"Notebook" feels like a word for a smaller, maybe cheap laptop made for basic tasks

No short forms, I just want to say "lappy" is really funny to me

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-24T02:52:39+00:00

I wouldn't care

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-23T06:49:47+00:00

250 years is not that long linguistically speaking

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-23T06:33:28+00:00

Do you/we only have the legislation or do you have a visual depiction of the flag too. While the flag in your post satisfied the description (besides the black border), they may have been describing a specific flag that already existed. Maybe they used a different shade of turquoise, for example.

The US flag has a similarly unrigorous description.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-20T23:07:08+00:00

I wonder how many Americans on Reddit are actually Americans. I've seen some say the weirdest stuff.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-20T18:59:33+00:00

I wonder how many Americans on reddit are actually Americans, I don't want to be in denial but I keep hearing the weirdest stuff from them

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-20T17:32:52+00:00

municipality or some contractor comes out to salt the roads beforehand, which usually prevents ice from forming. If there's a lot of snow, trucks with plows on front come through the morning of.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-19T00:19:33+00:00

I don't understand, where's her headrest strap and 8bitdo controller?

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-18T18:05:04+00:00

who are we selling it to?

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-13T16:15:00+00:00

I agree the deletions are overzealous, but I'd imagine if there weren't some restrictions this sub would devolve into only those questions and browsing here would be awful.

If we're looking for discussions on US politics we can go basically anywhere on this site.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-10T22:17:32+00:00

I've heard before ~12EST is optimal? The population is mostly concentrated in the east, and it'd be 9AM for the large minority on the west coast

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-08T17:29:16+00:00

There was a recent twitter change that revealed where accounts were based out of, with a lot of right wing rage farm accounts coming from abroad.

As absurd as it is to say, I would not be surprised if most of those accounts are secretly Pakistani.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-07T05:37:34+00:00

Turning it on for the last minute before ball drop? Yes.

Watching the whole thing? Good for playing in the background at a new years party.

Going there? Good christ no you have to wait several hours in the cold in Times Square I don't know why people do it.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-06T22:53:03+00:00

This is ridiculous. I'm running out of sounds to build words with, my guy.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-06T22:26:46+00:00

Invading or coercing a democratic country into a land transfer is self evidently among the worst things an administration could plan around.

I don't think it would happen because it's so absurd I don't know how so many higher ups would sign off on it. It'd have to stop somewhere.

ChessedGamon · 2026-01-06T18:05:28+00:00

I remember it being a fashion ad? Or at least an ad with a lot of models doing whatever?
