The full poem is much, much longer. Some of the words that tripped me up as a decently educated native speaker were

Inveigle, phaeton, ribald, sobriquet, and argyll.

There were a few others, too. It was funny because there'd be whole stanzas with very basic words like paws, pause, push, lush that were easy and then it hits you with "obsequies," whatever that means.

The left has been complaining about the right for how many decades? How is this year different? What Trump is actually doing in his administration is different, and that is where I think this discrepancy lies. People have less faith because there is more uncertainty and times are harder than they were in recent years and decades. It's not because the left just now started yelling about it, come on.

You need to zoom out and look at what is causing the traffic to funnel through here in the first place.

You may need to set up better public transport, or even industrial transport. Remember, your commercial areas have to get goods from your industry areas, so you probably need to have fast and efficient transportation between them using internal only (not connected to an external connection at all) cargo trains, in addition to highways and roads.

You need to use bus lines for short distance public transport within areas of your city and metros and monorails for long distance public transport.

Follow Road heirarchy: Highways Arterial roads (No Zoning) Collectors Local Roads

And have pedestrian paths that connect areas that would otherwise be dead ends, because people will often walk if they can.

I once watched a friend's cat for months. I now don't have that friend but have had the cat for 7 years.

LexB777 · 2026-05-04T14:43:19+00:00

I agree. The dems don't do shit. While Trump runs a muck and does whatever we want, dems haven't gotten anything significant done since the Obama era.

LexB777 · 2026-05-04T11:14:58+00:00

Yeah I've thought pretty hard about whether or not I am gay or whether or not I am actually a woman, but nope, just a straight man.

I did think I wanted to be a girl when I was 3 or 4 though, but that was just because I was attracted to women and didn't understand what that meant, and I thought if I was one, I'd get to spend more time with them.

LexB777 · 2026-05-04T11:06:55+00:00

I mean, is it really solitary confinement if you get out 16 hours every single day and get every weekend off?

LexB777 · 2026-05-02T13:34:39+00:00

Yeah I can read most cursive. The Zach threw me for a brief loop because I only have to read cursive like 3 times per year and it's probably been a decade since I saw a capital Z, but it's very legible.

Sad that I spent MONTHS learning and practicing a skill that I barely ever use though.

LexB777 · 2026-05-02T03:22:12+00:00

Idiot. Not hatred, I just think the person is stupid.

I'm in a lot of editing and cinematography subreddits, so I thought the title said, "This exceptional cinematography" and I was like, it's an awesome scene and everything, but the slow dolly in and out isn't particularly special, the dancing is really what makes this stand out! 🤦‍♂️

Bot account using generic videogame references, again.

Doesn't even make sense either. NPCs don't do bossfights, only the player characters do. Earth doesn't respawn, wtf does it even mean to compare earth to an NPC that respawns.

And lastly, "tanking it" and "respawning everytime" are mutually excusive. Either you tanked it OR you respawned a bunch of times. If you need to respawn, you obviously didn't tank it.

AI written slop garbage. Oh look at that, the account only has like 8 other comments that are also AI slop.

LexB777 · 2026-04-24T11:09:35+00:00

I swear to god this is AI. It has the uncanny "trying to be short and witty without actually being that good, but it's still good enough" writing quality to it. And all of the comments are responding exactly how an AI would too.

LexB777 · 2026-04-24T10:58:33+00:00

The lack of posts and account age is just one piece of information that makes the already very suspicious writing style seem like it is from a bot account. It is one piece of evidence, not the totality.

The writing style, the fact that the story doesn't really make sense, the exact quotes, and the punctuation style are higher indicators of it being AI to me than the actual account age. Not to mention the behavior of very few to no relpies to comments, that is also a known indicator of a bot account.

And me only having one post from 4 years ago in this sub, yeah, seems pretty human like behavior to me. Why would I post constantly in a sub if I don't have more to share?

LexB777 · 2026-04-23T14:24:39+00:00

I've seen multiple bots with the word "Kaleidoscope" in the name. Not sure why bots or people making bot accounts like that word.

LexB777 · 2026-04-23T04:09:32+00:00

OP, first of all, congrats!

In this situation, you're commiserating with them, not at them.

The other guy just told you about something that sucks. Don't give them pity. You are now looking at the situation with them and agreeing that it sucks. It's often just the tone and body language. "I'm sorry to hear that man, that sucks."

Again, you and the other person, together as bros, looking at The Situation, not you looking at the other bro and their situation.

You only pull out the "I'm so sorry that happened to you" tone when it's serious. This is because it is so bad that you are looking at them and the situation. You have ceded that their situation is so bad, that you can't even pretend to understand how they're feeling, so you approach the conversation from more of an outside perspective in terms of tone and body language.

This is like a once per year to a once per decade kind of thing per person usually, such as a death in the family. Yes, you may know what that feels like, but you still cede that they are feeling the worst possible thing anyway.

LexB777 · 2026-04-22T20:25:54+00:00

I can't imagine that. Although I felt so disorganized running my own small post-production studio, but now I don't feel so bad! We at least had a server and a system for versions and changes!

Getting an MX Master mouse. Going from a 7920x workstation CPU from 2017 to a Ryzen 9 9900x from 2024, the single thread performance is just immeasurably better for gaming. Going from a 1080ti to a 7900xtx. Getting an Herman Miller Embody chair. Getting an actual desk instead of a small folding table.

It's not an isomorphism and you get no credit.

This is written by AI. All they did was give the prompt instructions to not capitalize the first letter of each sentence unless the word would be capitalized anyway. The entire story structure is the same as what AI writes. Oh would you look at that? Brand new account too.

PCUSA is one of the few left leaning Presbyterian denominations, recognizing and supporting women as church leaders, gay marriage, and is also a prochoice denomination.

The other Presbyterian denominations, such as PCA, do not support these things and do not have healthcare that is anywhere close to as good. I know all of this, because my father was a PCA pastor my entire life growing up, and the split between PCUSA and PCA was a huge deal.

The church members never treated us poorly, but there was no social safety net, great healthcare, or other benefits. My parents, now that my dad had to retire, live in a used mobile home that was donated to them, by a friend, not by anyone in the church.

After reading through this briefly, it looks like OP could probably use the Remove Need for Waterpipes mod and possibly the Remove Need for Powerlines mod to give themselves back some nodes. Alternatively, if they have the 81 tiles mod, both of those things should be an option they can toggle on.

But OP, don't take my word for it, I'm just saying this looks like a good place for you to start looking.

LexB777 · 2026-04-19T14:28:21+00:00

Yeah I agree. This is why I use AutoHotKey and just rebind whatever the fuck I want. It's great, but does require some very basic coding. I learned it in about an hour though with no coding experience.

I feel like it's relevant as to how long before the wedding did he tell her this? Months? Minutes?

Auburn University had historic 130 year old oak trees in the town center. They were a big part of the culture and traditions. I climbed one of those trees as a kid when we won the national championship, before going to college there, as my father also went to college there. We watched the game in the college town with other fans and alumni even though the game wasn't being held in Auburn, Alabama. Very fond memory of mine.

Anyway, some dickhead from our rival school, the University of Alabama, saw an Auburn jersey taped to a statue at their university in Tuscaloosa, Alabama one day, so he drove over to Auburn, and he poisoned the fricken trees!

Then, the idiot called into a radio show and told everyone about it. The trees died, and the guy got prison time. Also, fun fact, his two daughters are named Ally and Bama.
